Dynamic Weather system

[Zotti65]

The Half-Life 2 Beta was rumored to have a dynamic weather system, with storms and shifting skies across the Wasteland and City 17. Do you think Valve should have kept this feature in the final game? Would it have added atmosphere and realism, or distracted from the story pacing?

If the movement of the sky really took place on the maps of the wasteland in the beta, then the dynamic change of weather, it seems to me, would not have been possible to implement purely technically.

Gmod has it now, so I think HL2 beta would have it too

it would've been good only if there would have been no day night cycle, if there would've been just effects such rain and moving clouds then yes but if day night cycle then no
