The Half-Life 2 Beta had so many amazing characters and concepts that were cut or adapted during development. Luckily, we are able to see a lot of what was adapted from the Half-Life 2 Leak. One of these was a fan favourite, The Cremator.
Why did The Combine create the Cremator? How important were they to their continued occupation of Planet Earth?, and how well would these have fit into the retail game? In this video, I explore the history, lore and development of The Cremator from the Half-Life 2 Beta.
