Pretty cool little deleted scene from the Half-Life 2 campaign serving mostly as a tech demo. Nice to see some of the great vertical sections from Half-Life 1 finally get some elaboration. It's also always nice to hear Valve's game design philosophies and mechanics/graphics objectives they were tackling via the commentary.

Would've it been cool to have it in the game itself? Sure, even though I'm a little lost how you'd fit it into Highway 17. But I enjoyed this little 20 minute outtake for what it was.
