The Weather Control

[FlamingBlizzard]

Considering the fact that the Weather control does not even have any prototypes of it, or even any concept art, it would be nearly impossible to even make a map of it. Its funny that at one point there was even a mech ship supposed to show up on the story paper

This is not English section.

It wouldn't be impossible. But we would have to take some artistic liberties like how the interior was laid out or how the scripted sequences were.

These are things

 what is purpose of the weather control in the old hyper era of the hl2 beta?
 

[The Renegadist]

Whether or not to control.

[Eeyore]

As the name suggests, im assuming it had something to do with changing the earths weather. I guess the combine had the technology to change other worlds atmospheres easily.

[Manwich]

This is speculation. Based upon what we see in game. The Combine control everything. If its not to control the citizens of C17 then it was suppose to destroy them. 
"Don't drink the water, they put something in it that makes you forget. I dont remember how I got here". - Civilian
The manhack arcade is also an example of this. Being that it is more active control and destruction of humanity then the death of a thousand cuts like the water, Air Exchange and Weather control.
Much like how the Air Exchange was used to keep people inside City 17 and control them by relying on the combine for air, water and food.. Weather Control was probably another way of doing that.
Remember in the original story-line there was "Acid rain"? The Air Exchange made the air toxic to breath while the rain made it toxic on your skin. Captain Vance had to target Weather Control because the conscripts cannot properly fight with gas masks on. Which also explains why the environments later in the beta are also not only dry but clear. No acid rain and no green gas.

Hope you liked this analysis.

But even though that some concept arts can be found on the internet. I haven't seen anyone even try to attempt to create it into the actual map or the playable mod. It's so sad and it's the pity.

Oh. That's the shame. But I would still love to see them. Bad or not.

How's it possible to have no files if there's the test video on YouTube?
