Air Exchange

Summary

The Air-Exchange, also known as the Airex and Air-Conditioner, is a cut Half-Life 2 chapter. The location was of great importance for much of Half-Life 2's existence, being one of the oldest concepts created and eventually cut very late in development, with a large amount of work put into the corresponding maps. The theme of the area remained more-or-less the same throughout development, an Industrial facility with very little thought given to workplace safety. A large amount of textures were made for this area, some of which can still be found in retail versions of Half-Life 2.

History

Basic history of the Airex is catalogued here (first concepts, earliest iterations, etc.).

Fate

Put its eventual fate here (Why it was cut, reused elements, etc). Information from the dev team/interviews would be great.
