Pre-beta content

Almost all available shots of pre-beta content are here, compared to final content when applicable Most pictures are half-sized (click to enlarge)

Final levels

There are a few snapshots from the 1999 trailer worth adding... soon...

Syndicate Warehouse

There are 15 hidden doors there. When revealed, they turn this very linear level into a completely non-linear structure (more like a real warehouse).

4 extra doors can be seen on the left picture

A whole lotta crates have been added, different door textures... and the forklift is higher now.

Manufacturing Plant (Musashi Manufacturing)

This one has evolved quite a lot :

The room where the "engines of evil" are, and the foyer

Note the door from the foyer (last pic) : there was a corridor running through the middle of the building.

Halls and ramps are almost unrecognizable because of the brick walls and wooden floor

Inner flyway and back of the building

Since there was a passage running through the middle of the building (see foyer, pic 3), the right of the inner flyway may have looked like pic 1 at that point.
The corridor that runs under the flyway in pic 1 is rather wide and two floors tall. Where does it end?
At the gallery where the alarm console is now (pic 4). With stairs leading to the upper half of that gallery.

offices

I think those were in the back of the building, on both floors, with doors and "windows" onto the "alarm console gallery" (also split in two floors).
But, very early on... First 4 pics : lower floor, the empty dark wall on the first is where the stairs in pic 4 above are.
Last pics : upper floor, to the left of pic 4 above. Note the stuff on the desk.

Bio-Research Lab

This one has kept the same basic layout, but there were a few changes

General layout and view from the foyer

The interior is only done in one half of the lab, and it's the other one (the one on the right).
Looks like the level was flipped horizontally at some point (and the surrounding buildings weren't there).
In the second picture, there are buildings in the distance, but the level is still not final :
pillars and foyer doors missing, extra ledges along the sides of the aisle...
Wonder what she's shooting at...

Foyer and SLD wing

The stairs in the foyer run the other way now. Like this \\ not like this //. So this is still the flipped version.
There were stools for the scientists... Apart from that that wing is pretty much final.
SLD-growing machines are more varied, though.

Machines in the acid room

The final ones are much thinner, and the layout of the stairs and catwalks is different.

Vansam Regional Airport

The airport's entrance

This can be the "Arrivals" section (which is now completely empty).

---

TCTF Regional Headquarters

Parking lot

A longer car. Different transition from the parking lot to the main building. A place for Konoko's bike. Different stuff outside the parking's gates.

Main entrance

The room is more than 2 times wider now. There are windows on the right and catwalks running across the far side. The entrance door changed a lot, but the van didn't change much...

The "atrium" rendered from an editor

Another pic HERE. The elevator was between the two sets of ramps. Solid floors had a tiling pattern, and ramps were transparent.

Same place, other version, ingame quality

The ramps had really nice railings (I wish they'd kept them), overall the room was much lighter (there's a light wall on the far side). Same "V" structures at the ceiling as above : they're gone now. The layout of the rooms on either side is different, too.

Damocles

The model didn't change at all, but now it's placed at the center (floor 2/3) of a really tall room rather than in that rather small one.
As for the terminals, there are primitives with similar looks, around Damocles and elsewhere.

Note the Marathon logo on Damocles's hull (an Easter egg).

Regional State Building

The foyer

Slightly different textures, smaller windows. It also looks like there used to be doors between the two parts of the building on the ground floor. The only connections now are on the top floor and in the basement.

---

TCTF Science Prison

The scanner

New wall textures. Looks like the scanner's textures are actually higher-res than what we have now.

---

Syndicate Mountain Compound

Old versus new :

"This is the heart of the Sturmanderung Megacomputer"

The basic layout of the room is the same, but :

• it was much more crowded with "computers"
• there were catwalks (and rooms) missing
• the existing catwalks were aligned differently
• the lowest level is close to final on picture 4; on picture 2, it's clearly lacking a lot of connections

---

Pre-beta levels

Just for the hell of it, here are the possible names of those missing levels :

• 05. The Airport Part Deux (deux is 2 in French)
• 07. Obsolete
• 16. BGI HQ
• 30. The Arena of Pain
• 31. Crossing Zone
• 32. Pit
• 33. Crossing Zone Too
• 34. Capture
• 35. Territories
• 36. Test_Stuff
• 55. AlexTestSite
• 66. Experimental_II
• 68. MARTY'S SOUND CORRIDOR
• 71. FiringRange
• 77. One Room
• 88. One Room 2
• 99. Test Barn II

The E3 1998 trailer takes place in a Syndicate Warehouse that has nothing to do with the final one.

Pictures (trailer snapshots) coming soon...

The HQ of the anecdotical BGI corporation?

Note the oddly twisted catwalk in both pictures (dynamic deformation? heat distorsion?).
Also note that this is not the same side of a same room : probably both sides of that room.

A deathmatch arena

Although the last 3 shots look different, it's the same layout.
Either "The Arena of Pain" at two stages of development, or "One Room" and "One Room 2".

A giant playground

Judging from the architecture (lots of massive crosses covering a few floors), I think it's Crossing Zone and Crossing Zone Too.

Completely random

The first ones beat me. Isn't the second one a Marathon level?

Aren't the first ones Atmostpheric Conversion Center Interior? <Your_Mom>

Even more random

The first one doesn't look like anything in the final game. The last one, well, it could be anything.
Judjing by the floor texture, probably Crossing Zone too.
