Unused Citadel Explosion

[Jason1999mambu]

i need that map (no steam + no gmod)

[MrMattwaffle]

This should've been used at the end of Episode 1.

[TheAnimelover40]

@MrMattwaffle i think they used it valve just cover it with too many effects

[Bluedino549]

@TheAnimelover40 Nope, they didn't... at all... As you can see in some other videos, the citadel still has it's top before it explodes, and in EP1 it was just a skybox 2D picture without top and some effects.

Yepp, your comment is old but I wanted to clearify that.

But maybe there is the possibility to decompile the original EP1 final map and replace the pic with those citadelparts except for the already blown off top and trigger that in the right time... Let me get on that. :D

[Imaginator9]

That should happen in the begining of hl2. Stupid combine fags

[HippyMeal]

Holy fuck.

[Bluedino549]

... when the dropships didn't find the toilets... ^^

[benry200]

ehh there should be 2 citidals... one in hl2 ep1 and one in hl2 ep 2.... this would be hl2 ep 2 explosion.. and the pulse explosion would be ep2... bahhha im tired

[GTR141Foxer]

Actually a thing this big in a far away state will look like this.

[AlexBestGTA]

doesnt look realistic,no interriors ecc here why they dint used this one

[Itsover90]

This is used in the ending of Half-Life 2 : Episode 1.

[Metalsonic2008]

is this the leak or the released game?

[svantearrhenius1]

Nnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooo

[octoplasma2]

i can see why. it makes the citedel look like a hollow cardboard figure

[JohnBigOz94]

@octoplasma2 and the flying pieces really seem funny when they fly away ever so slowly... i can prefectlty see why they cut it out!

[fjsclan]

Can you tell, how can I get this map? I hope for a link^^

[SkacikPL]

it is played at the end of ep1 , its just barely seen cause the brightness of explosion

[Nezzytheawesome]

@SkacikPL No it doesn't. The explosion is all particle effects.

[robko212]

the only reason why this wasn't used is simple : The core of the citadel with destabilize and destroy the whole city17

[TheBlueBullets]

wow that almost looks as destructive as the current citadel explosion it looks like a giant laser or missles shot the citadel

[JustUrby]

This was used. You just don't see the entire animation because of the explosion at the end of ep1.

[Tweak2911]

beautiful.

[BuildAnythingClan]

what map is that?

[PoloXGS]

I created it. There are other videos of the same thing, with the same map, but i don't know where they got that from.

[Bluedino549]

could you so nice and upload it please? the explosion looks great!

[justus954]

@PoloXGS how did you get sun be like that 0.0

[Fredsucks09]

@PoloXGS You created it? um bullshit much?

[5StringRevoloution]

@Fredsucks09 Look at the description. It's a animation VALVe made, with a map he made. There are a lot of other videos with the same explosion. He just made the surrounding area.

[SlimySnail44]

@Fredsucks09 he created the map. the tiny cube he is standing in. No shit, the tower was made by valve. What kind of dumbass are you. =_=

[H2m0dd3R]

How did you get this animation? WHat is the name on the prop? I mean, what did you do to get to this exploding animation..

[amauruss]

Not a prop, a map object.

[joangura]

No in ep2, lol, in ep1 this is awesome

[Jimmy42222]

That's totally awesome. It's a shame VALVe didn't use it in Episode 2.

The software that created the exploding model is a plugin for the Maya modelling software called "Blastcode: Megaton". It's awesome, but you have to have the full version of maya, and $1000 for blastcode.

[PoloXGS]

Wow, that's a lot for some plug-in.

Hehe.
