<div class="IPBDescription">Credit to BurnOut64 (Sven Co-op forums)</div> Check it out. This is VALVe Software's long-lost intro cutscene. It was removed in the final version, because they'd have to load the 3D engine just to play it.

<a href='http://www.flatface.net/~chris/valveintro.zip' target='_blank'>Check it out</a>.

<b><u>Instructions for play</u>:</b>
1) Place "mrvalve.mdl" in to your <b>Half-Life\Valve\models</b> directory.
2) Place "valve.bsp" in to your <b>Half-Life\Valve\maps</b> directory.
3) Open Half-Life, click "Console" and type "map valve".
4) Enjoy.

    Well, it was meant to play when they showed the SIERRA logo and stuff when you start Half-Life.

    I know where this is! It's in the "Power Up" part of the game.

    This is gonna sound pathetic...but I waited an entire year to buy it...I didn't get it till '99 because I was scared. I looked at the inside cover and saw all those (at the time) very realistic creatures eating and killing people. lol.

    Ahhh, I see you have found "Gordon the lumberjack"
    Originally half-life was going to take place in the Black Mesa lumber processing facility, where Gordon Lumberman was working in the annomilous termites lab..

    No you fool! It's Lord of the Rings 2255, and you play through as Gimli. Then they scraped the whole Idea Sadly.
