In one of the early versions of the storyline dated to 1999, the game was planned to begin with Gordon initially standing on a bed of ice surrounded by a thick fog.
In both iterations, Gordon Freeman would have entered the vessel and, with the help of Odell, made his way to the mini-submarine stored on board which would be used to travel to Kraken Base located under the sea. Throughout the evolution of Half-Life 2 's storyline, the Borealis is known to occupy two distinct placements in the overall plot. Much of the combat on board focused on Combine Soldiers, although Stalkers, Headcrabs, and Zombies are also encountered. The location featured the character Odell, the ship's engineer. īy the time it was cut, the Borealis featured a fully realized and realistically modeled interior, the intended gameplay taking place on the lower four decks and upper three levels of the vessel. Work on the ship dates back to May 1999, six months after they published the original Half-Life. It is believed to be one of the earliest levels that Valve created for the game. Originally unnamed with the generic moniker "ship", it was first called the Hyperborea before being given the title Borealis. The Borealis went through many changes during the project's development.
