it is a shame these things didnt appear in the final game! ..of ocurse, it's Valve's decission but there are some negative side effects:

the last 10min of Hl² I really thought:

"Wow, great! you'd think the end is near but there are still the ship level and the docks and the blue tentacle thing!! what a great game!!!!11~ "

10mins later I was kinda disappointed...

Sounds crap to me

But i still think HL is a great invention.

You get craploads of mods, friends, and fun time for your money.

As i said, write them and ask them to do a deleted files cd to be played ingame.

They removed these areas because they didn't play well and replaced them with another 5 miles of boring Boat/Buggy driving.

omg yes. I would rather have played a docks level than drive around for hours on end being bored off my ass. One vehicle level was enough, two was beating a dead horse.

If you want a pretty good accounting of what happened between the E3 Tech Demo and the final release, read that article by Gamespot. It's pretty long, but gives you a good feeling about what it took to get the game out.

The boat was chopped because it was part of a completely alternate storyline, in which Gordon sails to C17, with the ship being beset by Combine forces during the trip.

The docks was just a proof-of-concept, along with all the stuff you saw during E3 2003. The Gamespot 'Making Of HL2' article goes into much greater detail.

I think that was a good thing. Almost everything you saw was new.
