What happened to the OICW? The Hydra was taken out but I know why, the OICW seemed needed though. The only accurate weapons were the .357 and the crossbow which always ran out of ammo. I played the leaked build and the OICW was a great weapon to bridge that gap, or was it replaced by the Pulse-rifle? Also what happened to the boat? The boat that Valve spent a couple weeks on sketching out plank by plank and in game the people on the boat would wave at you...it was also in the laked build with Assasins like the original half-life except they looked like the things in the citadel (trans-humans?). There were also a few NPCs made just for the boat. Anything else missing from the leaked build or early screenshots and videos? And why?

No one has any comments?

oicw changed to the pulsrifle
valve wanted you to fight close fights and so they lowered the accuracy and boosted the power of the puls rifle.

i dont know what happened to the boat though

I really liked the boat, I wonder if it is still in the game...

easily the most powerful and accurate weapon is the revolver... i use it to snipe... just use z to zoom in, then release z and fire... works perfectly...

But there is so little ammo for it...

Do you mean the icebreaker (odessa?) if so I think it was removed to make way for a more fitting intro, if you are talking about the jetski it was replaced by the airboat becouse it was too hard to control.

The odessa, where did you get that name from? I have also heard it referenced to somthing else, like an NPC name or a location.

New Odessa is one of the places the resistance are hiding out, on the Coast

The Icebreaker was called the "Borealis", IIRC.
