Half-Life 2: Lost Coast is an additional level for Half-Life 2 that
was originally slated to be a part of the Highway 17 chapter of the
game, but was subsequently dropped. It has been redeveloped as a
playable technology demo, showcasing Source's HDR lighting features that
were developed in late 2005. Lost Coast is available to all owners of
Half-Life 2 for free.
In addition to a visual showcase, Lost Coast also acts as a platform
for the demonstration of the developer commentary system. When
activated, commentary icons will appear at various areas around the
level which the player can use to listen to audio commentary from the
Valve developers. The conversations range from 10 seconds to a minute
and cover topics such as how they developed the specific features that
are prominent in the immediate area, obstacles they ran into and more.
Using the commentary system will disable the enemy AI while the track
plays.
