In the original Half-Life 2 story, Gordon Freeman was sent to visit an area quite a ways from City 17, known as the Arctic. These cut chapters of the game were a result of Marc Laidlaw joining the project later on in development. Some were planned to not make a return since it has no room to be canon. Some would make a return in other games, while some were planned for another game but was cancelled ultimately.
The point of the Source ports of these games was to compare the Source engine to GoldSrc engine releases.ĭuring Half-Life 2's development, many chapters were cut from the game. For instance, the engine is capable of using an enhanced lighting system to make it more realistic, the game uses cubemaps to emphasize the details of textures such as the ground and objects, facial expressions, and even physics.ĭuring the development of the game engine, Valve had also planned to port a few GoldSrc games over to the new engine, such as Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and Day of Defeat. The engine focused a lot on features to enhance the game that was never seen in the previous engine. It started off as a fork of the GoldSrc engine and the first screenshot publicly available dates back to the original Get Your Free TV's demonstration, which was used to show advanced scripting abilities that the engine could handle. During Half-Life 2's development in 1999, it was planned that the game was going to be released for the Source engine.
