The Slideshow Briefing was a scripted concept that explained the events that occurred between Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Not only would this cut sequence have given us more information about the 7 Hour War, but it would have also shown us images of pivotal events. In general, a great insight into this mysterious period of time.
