The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor - сайт, посвящённый поиску и исследованию контента, удалённого из видеоигр. Начиная отладочными меню и заканчивая неиспользованной музыкой, графикой, врагами или уровнями, во многих играх остался контент, который не должен был увидеть никто, кроме разработчиков - или же вырезанный из-за временных или бюджетных ограничений.
Feel free to browse our collection of games and start reading. Up for research? Try looking at some stubs and see if you can help us out. Just have some faint memory of some unused menu/level you saw years ago but can't remember how to access it? Feel free to start a page with what you saw and we'll take a look.

You were intended to destroy and repair bridges, collect prisoners of war, and build defensive walls...none of which you can do in the final version. Other abilities which are gone include a bayonet for the Red Guard and even a Black Market nuclear bomb.
The expansion pack tops that by including a set of models that indicate the game was originally totally different, and a lot more like the old Command and Conquer games. The generals are far from complete as well, and leftover voices and text shows that originally they were a lot more unique and special...
