The Half-Life 2 beta had so many interesting features that did not make it into the retail game. Many were cut completely while others were reworked into something new. The Air Exchange eventually became the prison of Nova Prospekt, but just how different were these two chapters? The Air Exchange was absolutely one of the darkest parts of the beta before it was cut. What was the Air Exchange? Why was it so important to the beta story? and what remnants remain of it in the retail version of Half-Life 2? In this video, we explore the lore and story behind the cut Air Exchange in the Half-Life 2 beta.
