Cut Content in Valve Games (1997 - 2024) 

The cut content shows how ambitious and creative Valve is.

10:10 The first time I've ever heard the G-Man swears And when he's angry, he sounds inhuman, further evidently that he's not human

''Mr. Friendly'' *''we dont talk about him''*

4:11 damn, that Combine Guard looks so cool

Fun fact: The Combine SWAT vehicle is used in Half Life Alyx.

The alien grunt sprite was actually used in retail half life in the room you teleport to if you deny the G-man

Wow, they really cut a lot of stuff in half-life 2

I love how Cremator was originaly scripted for Half-Life Alyx, sadly he didn't make cut

8:40 "So we cut the fire extinguisher cause we thought doing a 4 hour mission after every level where Gordon cleans up his mess might have made the rest of the action seem fucking boring" - Gabe, probs

stop cutting my boy Cremator valve ffs, let him be canon

5:23 or 5:24 the song fits so perfectly with what had happened in the picture

1:57 Unused model 'dead Gordon Freeman' Good, let's keep it that way. Also, devs thought they can make a sequence that can kill my boy Gordon,bruh🤣

Tbh I want the next half life to have some of these cut things, that would be cool like bruh

Fact: You can actually see the Construction Worker in the mod “Echoes” for half life 1

10:58 in my opinion, TF2 has the best valve music ever created

Girls: OMG, did you see him not cry? Ik, total brat that he didn’t cry at the Titanic Boys: *Dr Kleiner scrapped at HL:Alyx*

*What do you MEAN Chicken Boss isn’t in the final game?!?!*

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.

Fact: Valve was gonna make someone else our main character in Hl2. And he was gonna look like Samuel

Those combine guards with the long coats are badass, would've been cool to see them.

Game: portal Sign: this is Sparta Me: Bruh

9:44 ughhh.. ah ah ah.. oh.. *NUT*

17:23 I know this is cut content but they brought the mp5 back silenced.

0:44 Pet the Chumtoad

Is that At Doom’s Gate/At Fortress’ Gate sped up I’ve heard during the Ricochet part?

9:59 g-man getting a handy

2:10 HMMMMM

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

10:41 THIS IS PORTALLLL

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.

The alien grunt sprite was used in the retail version of Half-Life 1 for the alternate ending. When the player decides to not step into the G-Man's portal, the G-Man teleports them to a room filled with an army of alien grunts all lined up. Normal 3D models were used in the front for the alien grunts there, however the sprites were used in the far background. This was done to better optimize computer memory and power, as additional 3D models would have been harder to process. Since they're so far in the distance and the moment happens so quick its almost impossible to tell they're sprites.

17:39 Коньбайн (Horsebine)

9:32 when gordon logs off of discord:

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.

18:42 is gman crying?bruh

12:44 so your telling me ENGI WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A FREAKIN REVOLVER BUT BECAME UNUSED WTH VALVE

Fun fact:in half life alyx the crowbar isn't fully removed,it's only used for the ending when Gordon picks it up

Wow G-Man Sequence concepts are awesome. You basically revisit all of the key locations in Half - Life 2. I wish they kept it like that.

lol the medic was literally gonna have a monty python reference as a grenade

14:42 that’s just the ak47 reload animation

The TF2 crowbar actually needed CSS. Interesting.

12:58 This is so sad

11:20 if gordon was in tf2 then this would be the weapon

3:14 Mr. Beast

It feels like that half life in general was a playground for the creativity of the employees

I just wanna say I seriously appreciate how quick and to the point the videos are!

That's weird. I thought there were a lot more than I remembered

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.

The tf2 robots were not scrapped along with their taunts, they are in mvm, they appear in the beginning of each mvm round and they taunt every time they kill a enemy (your team), and of course the backstab and headshots are for those exact things.

You forgot one of my favourites: In Half Life 1 there is an unused line for G-Man where he talks about your "Personal Halacaust"

The Manhack arcade sounds like and probably is the most dystopian idea someone has thought of. I mean who (in universe) thinks "Hey, lets trick people into controlling our stuff by disguising it as a video game!" That has got to be one of the stupidest ideas, imagine if a small resistance group managed to takeover and hold out in one, even for just a small amount of time, the amount of damage they could do to that combine sector is immense!

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

10:08 whenever i realize i have homework to do

What a trip.

10:28 put demoman kaboom on this

the ice axe seems like it was cut because it was supposed to be for borealis but since borealis got cut there wasnt really need for the ice axe anymore. and also although you cant get the stun baton normally in game you can get it from console in hl2 and you a can easily get it from combine sometimes in gmod and besides the hopwire grenade was probably removed due to the fact its very obvious and easy to see because of the ropes or wires or whatever comes out of it makes it easier to see and more noticeable and the hopwire blackhole grenade was probably removed due to how over powered it was and how the hell does combine even make those if they can make a blackhole grenade then they would've already been able to kill off the rebels and gordon freeman and actually sustain everything in less than 7 hours in the 7 hour war possibly even minutes who knows maybe they can even make a black hole nuke/bomb. and in portal the walking turret was removed because that would've made the game almost impossible to complete knowing that you cant run you have no guns just a portal gun and you need lots of time to think how to remove these turrets and making one walk is absolutely game breaking and the portal pistol was removed because the portal gun was already there and there was no need for it the syringe in TF2 was removed because we had something even more better and less tedious to use and its the healing gun from the doctor/medical class the tranquilizer wasnt needed because of the ability of the spy to be invisible and the tranquilizer was probably for the spy and other than that the tranquilizer will simply put the enemy to sleep or make them stunned or just kill them? because 1 if it makes them sleep then its just weird and out of scenario and 2 if it makes them stunned then it doesnt make sense because thats not what a tranquilizer dart is supposed to do in real life and 3 if it insta-kills them then its too overpowered and again it doesnt make sense in real life for the hats i have absolutely no idea why maybe they had some copyright material or something? like that jurrasic park dinosaur looking hat in l4d1 the crawling animation was still there in modded servers the rocket turret in portal 2 was probably too overpowered however the hover turret was good and all but just needed some map design meant for it which if they wanted to put it in the game more often then it will be pretty tedious to make the map design more complex for them to put them in so i guess thats why they were cut from the final game

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....

12:16 that is scout, not a civilian

I love how the HL2 part is the longest

Half-Life 2 is already the greatest videogame ever made. Just imagine how it could be if they didn't cut all that stuff

The reason why m60 and rocket launcher was unused at counter strike bcoz it going to be overpowered weapon and its maybe require a much more bigger maps like in phantom forces

Cut factions from csgo look so cool i hope they will come back as operators since ksk did

2:38 snarks are in the game! you can find them near the end of the game by crawling up a grate and into a big turbine where a dead guy will be laying there with some snarks

12:09 You can actually still find this in SFM.

2:07 the revolver in Opposing Force isn't cut you can get it using cheats or playing online

17:50 The headcrab design looks extremely interesting, would anyone like to brain storm some theories?

gman in 9:31 looks like he is not evening trying to get back gordon

Fun fact:if you write "impulse 101"in the console of half life blue shift you can get the cutted weapons

11:49 Actually, that hat wasn’t totally cut out, it was just made Sniper and Spy only. (It was intended to be all-class)

14:04 WHY?

I think the alien grunt sprites at 1:05 are the ones used in the bad ending where you reject the G-Man's offer. If you use noclip and fly around you can see the aliens are actually just sprites I also assume the unused g-man voice lines in episode one were gonna be used in the opening

If all the cut locations are inserted with additional story on half life 2 then the game would have months of gameplay

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

1:31 fast demoman theme. (Put it in 5 speed)

17:58 I have a feeling Jeff was probably going to be a Combine enhanced human used for pushes through armies, and would take grenades to kill him, because man this design for Jeff looks sick as hell

While watching this I fell asleep and had the most vivid dream about half life 2 Beta, fucking wild

Silenced pistol is used, but for female assasin as we all know. High Noon used obiviosly for sniper but with out scope in Team Fortress 2 Classic.

10:55 Um, there is a grenade launcher in TF2 so technically that might not be a unused weapon besides soldier has a grenade belt on him

The Whitaker Model was used in Dead centre if you look at the door where the Rocket comes out to break the truck ,if you look there you will see the Whitaker Model

The alien grunt sprite is actually used in the game but you can only see it at the end of the game if you reject gmans offer. When you see the alien grunts look at the very back with noclip and you can see it. It's to save on memory.

3:10 Dont mind this it's just a reminder ;)

2:12 0,25 speed sounds at doom gate

wait, an unused city skybox? did an old half life include the 7 hour war, where you escape black mesa but fight some sort of alien creatures, idk, the combine weren't an idea at the time so maybe it was the rest of xen with more nihlanths instead of just 1

half life 2 cut content: *borealis* episode 1 cut content: "hehe... well.. well, shit."

Every Gold Source game: I'm about not using silenced pistol

3:54 & 4:16 wait, aren't they in the HDTF? ( 4:12 and he's like scp-49 i guess)

Fun fact : C.S:G.O was supposed to have a campaign mod but it was cancelled for unkown reasons

*I told the Skywalkers that Space Biking was so much more badass.. then I met this Freeman dude.*

"Yes, civilian is scout."

Wait... Tripmines are cut content for Half Life Blue Shift? Beacuse I swear that not only I found some while playing but I also used them on the final part of the game to escape the soldiers and jump to the portal

I love how you used a song from the fake beta soundtrack when showing cut hl2 stuff lol

13:54 SHEEEESH

You can use 357 in Opposing Force multiplayer. Or even singleplayer if you use cheats. It's not cut at all. Edit: 357 is INCLUDED in Blue Shift campaign by default. How did you manage to miss it in the game?

0:46 fun fact: the silenced pistol was used in team fortress classic as a spy weapon

4:23 my friend really love drawing this thing back then

That “engineer vomit taunt” is a robot taunt

Team Fortess Classic background is sonic.

18:05 jeff looks like demogorgon

"Elite Civil Protection" looks cool

Oh boy,the cs:go cut weapons are pretty cool! Also cs:go cut weapons:S P A T U L A
