Episode two is just about as fun as episode one. The difference between the two follow ups to Half Life 2 is that the second episode is much more memorable than the first episode. Finally, Valve updated Half-Life and its expansion Episode One with achievements coming from the XBOX 360. This guide is normally only for the PC/Mac version of Episode 2. This guide is existing for celebrating the new achievements for the two previous games.

Half-Life 2: Episode Two |

Developer: Valve This game has unused animations. |
This page sucks. If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome. Specifically: JPEGs! Unfinished sections! Surely this game deserves better. |

Half-Life 2: Episode Two is the third part of the yet-unfinished adventure of Gordon Freeman where Eli Vance prepared for 'Unforeseen Consequences'.

Unused Textures
Unused Chapter VGUI Icons
Chapter 8. This is early Photoshop work on an image of an early version of ep2_outland_12a as seen from the HUD on the bottom-left corner and an extra Alyx, hence why only concept exists here.
ep2_intro.bsp was supposed to be loaded into the game, but it never appeared for nine entire years, then later got leaked on the Facepunch forums and quickly taken down by mad retail fans.
Both of them can be seen if you create a chapter0.cfg and/or chapter8.cfg in the ep2/cfg folder.
devtest.png
An overview of a removed map called devtest can be found. This map and other devtest maps were found in the NVidia Shield versions of Half-Life 2 and its episodes.
Early Magnusson
What appears to be an early rendition of Magnusson that can be found under 'effects/magmonitor_idle' and 'effects/magmonitor_talk'.
Jalopy
A vehicle seen in the gameplay demos, but didn't make it to the retail and was replaced with the Muscle Car. The vehicle resembles the Scout Car from Half-Life 2. The texture and handling files for the Jalopy remain in the retail game files. There are modifications online to restore this car, but the majority of them involves it replacing the Muscle Car.
Juvenile Advisor
The Barn Advisor originally started life as a Juvenile Advisor. The model seen to the right has been leaked a few times, but it doesn't exist in Episode Two by default. The texture does, however.

Source Particle Benchmark
This is a demo of the new engine improvements, like shadows and particle showers. But people who have dissected the files have found some early content related to Episode Two within. The file level_voices_episode_02.txt shows there were some differences in speeches and that there were two cut rebel characters, Cyril and Fred, both named after science fiction writers Cyril M. Kornbluth and Frederik Pohl.[1]
Combine Advisor Unused Particle Shield
Found as 'advisor_psychic_shield', this unused shield uses the Particle system shown in the Benchmark, but the file is found in the retail version.

This is a demo of the new engine improvements, like shadows and particle showers. But people who have dissected the files have found some early content related to Episode Two within. The file level_voices_episode_02.txt shows there were some differences in speeches and that there were two cut rebel characters, Cyril and Fred, both named after science fiction writers Cyril M. Kornbluth and Frederik Pohl.[1]
Combine Advisor Unused Particle Shield
Found as 'advisor_psychic_shield', this unused shield uses the Particle system shown in the Benchmark, but the file is found in the retail version.
Unused Combine Advisor Battle AI
This video shows unused Combine Advisor Battle AI, hinting that Gordon was originally to fight one in Episode Two. However, recreating this behavior requires a rebuild of the game engine to get it to work.
Unused Citadel Explosion Animations
There are various unused explosion animations for the Citadel that are never used in-game. It can be heard at the end of Episode One, but it can't be seen due to the Citadel being a simple skybox card, without animations. However it was seen in the unused map 'ep2_intro.bsp', a modified of the final cutscene in HL2 EP1 only the citadel explosion animation seen.
Proto1 Weapon
There exists a sample weapon never compiled in the Source Engine 2007 branch of Episode Two. The only remnants of the weapon are source code referring to it. The compiled version of the weapon itself looks like a 357. Magnum, but in reality is a laser bolt weapon. Changing this string of the weapon script below will look exactly like an AR2, the only difference being it acting like a laser bolt rifle.
