Arkane Studios, which was developing the fourth episode of Half-Life 2, showed a video clip of the canceled game. On them, the protagonist meets with zombies in one of the Ravenholm locations. Shots posted on Twitter.
In the video, Gordon Freeman repels the zombies with a butt strike: apparently, the developers planned to add the ability to beat enemies with more than a crowbar in the fourth episode. The enemy’s appearance also differs from those in the original episodes: in some ways, it resembles G-Man.
