The E3 2002 map that never was

[Витой]

An interesting find by B16B055 aka Restellarious: Some of the d1_palace_01 VMFs contain two triggers named "temp_e3".

The last modified date of one of those VMFs (02.04.2002) is from the same period when Valve started making the first prototypes for the E3 presentation. It is very likely that the team chose this map for the showcase because it was one of the most visually suitable maps, but for some reason Valve excluded it from the E3 presentation map list and the E3 version of it was never fully finished.

Hmm, interesting... I wonder what it was supposed to show. Maybe dynamic lighting? Who knows...
