the snark is used in blue shift, near the end of the game, when you are going to the power to turn on the button for the bridge, you see a big hatch near the ladder you climbed. You go there, and, you see a couple of items and a dead hgrunt, with the snark there.

For those who don't understand why Half-Life² has so many things cut, it is because Half-life² Beta is a completely different game from our current Half-Life² completely different story, map, universe, characters, weapons, endings etc

[@TeCHnORiOT]

Yeah, it's a shame the beta never went through. I can understand why but there's still a part of me that wishes it could have been. Maybe as some other IP or something, or like an alternate history spin off.

[@Zmeeed01]

You can actually find Snarks in Blue Shift. In the chapter Power Struggle there is a place right after the first large pool of cyan coolant liquid. There is a corridor with a bunch of HECU's, broken vending machines, and ammo supplies. At the dead end of it there is a ladder which leads to another floor where you see a lone HECU next to a radio. If you keep climbing up on the raster-like thing attached to the same wall as the ladder you'll end up in dark vents. In the end there will be a few HECU corpses and a Snark nest-pickup. However, you missed Gauss Gun / Tau Cannon which is actually unused in Blue Shift. Fun fact: Snarks are used in Blue Shift speedrunning because they are NPC's technically and they can trigger the teleport-related sequences sooner than the player and designated NPC's for them.

[@typeable]

Fun fact: the Grunt sprite is used in the game, just in the bad ending though. You can see them in the very back of the army thing? I dunno what it's called.

[@nekonoian6804]

It's at the end of the game when you're in the tram with him. It's not cut, it's just something he says if you don't take his offer.

[@terra-ryan]

I set the grenade launcher dmg to 99999 at the last level and it killed everything, so since the AGrunts that appear when you refuse Gmans offer died, they were replaced with those pixelated sprites of the AGrunts

[@ApertureEntertainment]

The mannequin from Portal 2 is used in the turret factory area. In the the shooting range area of the factory the turrets are shooting at it. It does have unused animations though.

[@shadowgrimfoxy592]

Could I have the link to that

[@TylertheCC1010fan]

there is.

[@jus2166]

Ay engi i need a sentry here

[@idkplzhalp]

There is! You can find a lot of cut stuff on the wikis! Like GLaDOS and Chell had a lot of concept art and so did the Mercs. There are also many beta designs of Alyx and some female Half-Life scientists too and probably much more.

[@wqqclicc674]

2:10 HMMMMM

[@nekonoian6804]

Fact : Counter-Strike 1.6 cut weapons is also supposed to be Condition zero (made by gearbox) weapons but it was cancelled. Counter-strike 1.6 actually use weapon models such as shield, famas and galil base from condition zero (made by gearbox) but they have changed the arm texture to a classic arm texture (cs 1.0) with brighter colour and less contrast... The condition zero's (made by gearbox) hud sprite can be found on counter-strike 1.6 sprites folder....

[@minor_change5116]

14:42 that’s just the ak47 reload animation

probably a placeholder before final animation was finalized.

The silenced pistol is still visible in Half-Life as a weapon switch glitch between your pistol and revolver. For me it is.

yes, HALF OF THE ENTIRE GAME!, including a mission where you prevent Gordon from being killed in between chapters "Apprehension" and "Residue Processing", the player characters, Dr. Green and Dr. Cross, kill the two H.E.C.U Marines that captured Gordon, before they can shoot Gordon in the back of the head, that is why when Gordon wakes up the two Marines are nowhere to be found.

Also the stun baton is still in Half-Life 2, just its view model animations aren’t in there. (And is only obtainable from cheats.) So it’s kinda unused.
