Ah the beta stuff. This was what it looked like when PCG reviewed it in november 1997. Then they took a year making a completely different game. Luckily their mappinf skills seemed to improve over that year.
I got a couple of the videos from when it was anounced in July 1997. Man it looked crap. The diablo looked cool t mind you. Shame they removed it from the final release.

I'd like to see some beta or alpha screenshots for HL2. Valve must have done multiple versions with the Source engine in all those years developing HL2.
I know some of the publicity shots for HL2 were only from beta, as I never saw them in-game. But what about concept art for Alyx or Breen? Earlier models for the Combines?

I thought that Valve had to redo almost the entire game because of hackers stealing their data or somthing :

They didn't rebuild hardly any of the game infact, they only implemented stronger anti-piracy crap, afaik.

Hmm, I've heard that before all that things got stolen, and they had to remake al those things (HL2), you was able to cut headcrabs in to 2 parts, just like the zombies, lol..
And, I saw it on an old screeny.
I would never have brought Half-life if it had that pack picture as they made for the beta, lol,, it looks like a mad guy with a strange Elvis haircut..

When I saw an advert for HL after 1998, they used a pic from an old zombie (from beta version) in the bakground..

Post #115758
They took away shadows from HL1 in one of the update patches. I remember having shadows with a command similar to r_shadows or r_drawshadows
I think it only worked in Direct3d though...
In the "game of the year" HL box, the screenshots in the back show scientists, grunts and multiplayer models casting shadows...
Of course, those shadows were completely unrealistic so it was not a big loss

That poison zombie in HL2 concept art looks nasty. It's a great idea though. I love it as an enemy, tough it may be to kill it.
My heart beat always quickens whenever I hear that wheezing sound around the corner. It's almost like Darth Vader.

That pic of Barney standing next to that blue zombie, in the beta, made it onto the back of the HL original box (pre-GOTY). I should know, I have an original 1998 box Way before mods were even supported.
