Proto:Half-Life 2 (Windows)/September 26th 2003 Build/Cut Audio
This is a sub-page of Proto:Half-Life 2 (Windows)/September 26th 2003 Build.
 | To do: Add the other sections. |
There are dozens of sound files never used in the retail game. Some include full conversations, and many have generic voices that were to be re-recorded later. Several conversations in the retail version were shortened from the prototype.

Trans6
There's an unused audio file called "Trans6" that was later deleted in the final and is... frightening... It was later found to be a distorted recording by the Judica-Cordiglia brothers in 1963, which they believed to be a Russian astronaut who burned up in the Earth's atmosphere as she commented on seeing flames and feeling hot before asking if she was going to crash.
