What happened to the bits seen in the trailer?

I watched the half life 2 trailer on a PC gaming world dvd and it showed some various things such as follows:

-Being able to pick up bodies with the gravity gun
-Wood shattering much more easily when shot
-The bit with the grenade, the big tank, and the girder swinging back and forth?
-The bit with the tenticaled alien thing killing the combine guard?
-The bit in the building when gordon made a distraction, used the gravity gun for various things like a radiator as a sheild, and a missile. And blocking the door with a table.... that building isnt in the game!?!?

Theres other stuff aswell but i cant recall...

Did valve just decide to take these bits out for some reason? Or were they made just for the trailer? I cant see that happening though... as its a waste of time.
Or is there extra bits in different version of the game and/or updates and patches? Because im dying to play those bits....
 
Dude ^^....Omg...You just...arrgggks;fs
tfrgv<--- that was me hitting my self on the head with my keyboard.....Ok i won't flame you but I'm going to say a couple things
1. Use the SEARCH button or just look at threads like tribute to the cut HL2 stuff.
2. It doesn't sound like you've even beaten the game....and for your sake I hope the Mods lock this thread before somebody flames you to death (Or is that just me?)
3. I'll let this one slide because you're still a headcrab :D
VVV the thing That I hated that they cut (the most) was the scene where alyx was naked and she gives you a lap dance (or was that just gabe n00bells version?) ROFL
 
The game was changed, chopped and changed before release. It happens with every game, they had their reasons. And their judgment means we have a better game than originally. This has been asked more times then hot dinners you've had, use the search function next time. I can only hope you don't get flamed to death now.

edit: see ^^^ lol...
 
Those Trailers weren't really trailers as much as they were demonstrations of the the source engine...
 
Whoa, no need to go pysco, i only joined today. Im just curious.
Plus the search option i found wasnt very good, as i did do a search and couldnt find alot of related posts.
Ive beaten the game on easy, medium and difficult, and to be honest, it wasnt that great anyway, it needed more challege, more dead ends, and a better ending. Plus it was shorter than i expected, i completed it in under 15 hours.
And yeah, a scence like that would be good, she has one hell of an ass, you agree?
 
No worries bud, just that this has been asked a shitload of times. I think there's a similar thread in speculation right now :D

Search next time huh.
 
GABE NEWELL ATE THEM

(Search function is your friend)
 
I have all the answers to your questions:

- Gravity gun and bodies: players would hardly use any other weapons if they introduced this option as soon as you received the gravity gun.
- Crates destroyed in one shot: I think it's fairly obvious. A bullet wouldn't destroy a whole crate.
- The combine in Ravenholm were cut because they didn't need to be in there.
- Basically, the hydra was too hard to fight. All you would see was a blue blob before you died.
- That building is in the game, it's just been modified so you can't go in.
 
Riomhaire, ive finished the 'bloody game'. Grow up, and sort your attitude problem.

Wasn't that building from the trailers the one you have to go in once you met the first fast-zombie? Could'a swore it was. Sorry If I'm wrong, haven't played game in a while.

if you have finished the game you should know one of the things on the list is wrong.

He's right, go beat the game. You clearly haven't.
 
15 hours *snicker*

Hmmm I had no trouble picking up Combine in 'Our Benefactors' with the Grav Gun. Suggest you have not completed the game. 15 hours my arse. Luke just read your post again closely , nice self ownage. I like you , you make me laugh. :x

You can go into that building - you just don't go the same way as in the demo movie. So you are half-right or should that be:

Half-Right 2 - Iron Chef Gordon.
 
ROFL this is like the first time where i was like the only one that didn't flame the n00b....seriously i should be named like.....flame....guy....wait that sounds incredibly gay ok...i think i will flame him for being teh liar

15 hours...RIIIIIGHHHTTT id LOVE to see how you did that without being completely pro/cheater and since you sound like a n00b and i have faith in people not using console hacks....you are a liar....

PS and i thought i was being a good guy by not flaming u but u pushed me to the edge and over it....as..well...yeh

My first run through HL2 took me about 7 hours not MUCH exploration but i didnt linger around in any area in particular just admiring the view I gawped leaving the station as most people do but still 7 hours.

Normal difficulty. the game is hardly challenging!

Or am i a liar too?
 
He said he did it on hard buddy...I could beat it on normal with my eyes closed....well not really....and i still doubt u beat it in 7 hours.

Edit:I also refrained from flaming u by pointing out many errors in your post such as how i said he sounded like he was a n00b and i am sure that n00bs could not beat HL2 in 15 hours


PS I'm counting TOTAL play time...that includes all the quicksaves and death loads



Yes you are a liar too...hey you asked and i'm not sure so...Yes, yes you are.
 
i remember my first thread..
stupid thread..
though I got flamed..i turned it a bit around in the end.. :)
Lucky magicians reading my emails :(
x_X
 
What he is trying to say is give Lukeowitz a chance to get his stuff together.
 
Ohh no that was just spam.
GET THE PITCH FORKS!!
 
I took about 12 hours :-s *waits for flames* constant playing and not much exploring lol
Went back the next day and struggled to get past the aquaducts lol - was just looking around...
And i know this has been posted before about the trailers..but hey, and anyways - was i the only one that completely browned my pants in ravensholm - coming up to the building in the trailer - oh im l337 ive seen this in the trailer all you do is.... whats that noise ? - then that ARGGGHHHHHHHHH ****!!!!!!
lolol - Playing Half Life2 with the volume up full and blinds shut wasnt good for me....
 
-The bit in the building when gordon made a distraction, used the gravity gun for various things like a radiator as a sheild, and a missile. And blocking the door with a table.... that building isnt in the game!?!?


Well.. the building is in the game.. it's in ravenholm.. when you meet up with the first fast zombie. It's the building to the left.. it just don't look the same as it did in the trailer, with the curtains being shot at, and all that.
 
n0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000beh

That's all i'm saying.
 
Poor Luke, I think you scared him away from Halflife2.net for ever. :p
 
-Being able to pick up bodies with the gravity gun

You can on the last level

-Wood shattering much more easily when shot

Its up to the level designers if they want wood shattering easier or harder (in reality it would be harder)

-The bit with the grenade, the big tank, and the girder swinging back and forth?
Click to expand...

That bit of interaction has been taken for some starnge reason

-The bit with the tenticaled alien thing killing the combine guard?
Click to expand...

It wasn't fun when you were being attacked by it

-The bit in the building when gordon made a distraction, used the gravity gun for various things like a radiator as a sheild, and a missile. And blocking the door with a table.... that building isnt in the game!?!?

Its still there, but they've taken the doors away, replaced the combine with zombies and you go up the stairs through a different access point (you can't go throught the original door, its blocked)
 
Wow guys, it's one of his first posts and you flame hin to f**k. Nice community spirit.

I think you need to understand that while it's annoyin seeing the same threads spring up, filling them with "omg teh search!" dosen't help issues.

I've tried searching for things before and found threads with very little info and just people saying "search" "search" search".

Go easy on him, if he's a repeat offender give him some stick.

Sorry, but it p*sses me off when people get all high and mighty about the search thing on n00bies, they don't deserve that stuff.
 
I REFRAINED AND HE LIED!!!! my first post I nicely told him to use the search button but he is clearly a liar. so i flammed him

is it not obvious why that was taken out?
Everyone would know exactly what to do and it wouldn't be any fun. If it was in the game people would be saying
"Why did they put that in, everybody knows what to do, it's so boring."
 
Im aware you can pick up bodies, but not till dark energy (which i admit made the level crap as you dont get your other weapons), i guess having the gravity gun supercharged all the way through the game would make it too easy...
 
And im not a liar, if you cant handle the fact i beat the game in 15 hours then go to hell, if you cant handle the fact that i might possibly be a better gamer than you, then thats your problem, not mine. This is my first time using halflife2.net and like burner69 said, i dont expect to get flamed to f**k in my 2nd post. The game was piss easy, and wasnt that great, theres better games out there, and games that take alot longer to complete because they have some amount of challenge to them. Okay the visuals were impressive, and the AI was good, but apart from that, half life 2 was very disapointing, way too short and a rubbish storyline, not to mention the lack of arms. I would have thought a game like half life could progress to something brilliant, obviously not.
 
The reason Half life 1 and 2 are brilliant is because of the gameplay. it never forgets that it is a game. Other FPSs try to be a "realistic millitary stratigy" game, these are annoying, not games.

rubbish storyline
Click to expand...
much like the Matrix, hard to understand, but when you do most people find it brilliant.
 
I still think its a work of brilliance, but it just could have been so much more... I shall wait eagerly for a half life 3... lol.... i wonder...
