"[...]

* The swamp boat was a jetski from the start
* There was a drivable apc in the game before it was deleted.
* A boss called ant lion king that was absolutley huge was removed because it didn't fit in.
* Plus several other enemies as you can see.
* Valve are happy with the great reviews and the sales numbers.
* Steam was used in order to lower piracy.
