I think what people are saying when they are talking about this gun is that its something they really wanted to use. I mean come on it looks freaking awesome! Much like everything else that was cut. I could moan on all day about how the game doesn't allow blocking of doors like in the trap town video or how sections of the coast seemed to dissapear from the final version. Im really looking forward to skidz mod assuming it goes public (I'd register on their site if the register thingy worked) since it seems to take everything cut back into the game. My answer to the discussion on the devs thinking about how something doesn't fit is that its the public alone who determin wheather something in a game is good or not. One of the reasons gabe left his email adress in the narration thingy at the end of the lost coast demo is to gain opnions from the public, if your making a game you'll want to make the most profit out of it as possible and the way to max profit, is to max the fun and experince the game brings. Which suprisingly all got cut and took most of the fun away from the game. Maybe thats why Half Life Episodes is going to take control of steam. (No im not confusing it with Sin Episodes, HL Episodes is going to begin with Aftermath)

Uh dude, i never said the game wasnt fun. I just said it wasn't as fun I exepected I admit I kinda worded it bad. Oh well ya get the idea people bought the game thinking they were gonna get content they never got (me being one of them). Isnt this what the whole thread is about? Half Life 2 is one of my favourite games it is fun lots of fun. Thats why I bought it (and why I signed up to this forum like you said) and im going to keep playing it and keep buying the expansions and know that it will keep being fun.

Yes, it does.

however the doors open both ways so blocking the doors os pointless

Ok I just read a very old preview about hl2 from a very old pcg. They said that anything that wasn't ready to put in the game would be canceled and put in at a different release like a expasion pack for example. Now the games source code was stolen right? So all their work was gone. Maybe these things never were cut. Like the 5 Hydra maps they'll all be locked away deep in valves servers. So maybe, im not saying they will but perhaps because these things weren't ready for November last year they weren't put in the final product and will be added in at a later point. Persumibly after Aftermath is completed. Well maybe not the Hydra that was cut because they thought it was no fun to play against and that big green thing in HL1 was any different to the hydra? It does the same thing nearly.

You had to sneek past the tentacles because they reacted to sound. You threw grenades to draw them away. The hydra sees you and then you're dead.

Eh? It's not like some cat burglar snuck into their offices and actually stole the hard drives, you know. They didn't lose everything.

And also, the tentacle was built into a map where you could kill it (the rocket). It's not very easy to fit a test rocket engine into City 17's sewer system.
