[@skyfrost_rouge1216]

Dude your hyping me

[@kickassnetwork]

Don't really understand the "Ultimate HL:A Build". Cut content is cut for a reason. In one of the interview videos, they go at length why the crowbar was cut due to extensive issues it caused in gameplay and that they worked on it for a year and a half. Do we really need these type of assets back? Or at least if we add it back, I'll probably call it not the Ultimate build, but the bloated headcrab build. I do kinda understand for some other games why you might want cut content back because other games have deadlines and sometimes things are dropped due to deadlines or future DLC. Valve isn't one of those companies to package sometime else already done for future DLC though.
