Trivia / Entropy : Zero 2

  • Acting for Two:
    • Sam "Trivvy" Pearson voices Bad Cop, Clone Cop, the chief of Bad Cop's Civil Protection unit, the Advisor, and the Overwatch dispatcher.
    • Caleb "CW3D" West is the voice of Wilson, the Arbeit AI announcer, the Stukabats, and one of the Metrocops in the prologue.
  • Crossdressing Voices: Trivvy and CW3D as the Overwatch dispatcher and Arbeit announcer, both of whom assume feminine voices.
  • Dummied Out:
    • A large portion of Bad Cop's lines were either reworked or cut out during development, in order to reign in his sociopathic characterization and avoid him crossing the line into Narm territory. Some of these lines are still in the game files, such as the original take on his face-to-face with Judith Mossman, where he's noticeably angrier at her than in the final product.
    • Some early versions of the final levels, as well as other scrapped maps, can be found in the files as well, a few of which are made accessible via the bonus maps window. These include an unused daytime version of the menu background, a discarded flashback sequence involving the memories of Bad Cop's host body, and a few dream sequences which would eventually be recycled into the Distant Prologue in Chapter 0.
    • Several weapons exist which can only be obtained with cheats. Most notable are the Displacer Pistol, which allows the user to dematerialize props and enemies and then spawn them elsewhere, as well as every single weapon from Counter-Strike: Source.
  • Fake American: Trivvy and CW3D are British and Australian respectively but use American accents for their roles.
  • Recycled Script: Mossman's spoken lines are of those from Half-Life 2 and Episode One, though reused to work with the mod's story.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • An early story element involved Bad Cop being haunted by the original occupant of his host body, which the aforementioned flashback would have played into. The only remnant of this besides the flashback are some unused voice lines for the host body itself.
    • The first draft of the G-Man ending had Bad Cop getting stranded in Xen and encountering the G-Man there, who would inform him that he's owed a debt before transporting him back to his home in Arizona. The G-Man would then tell him to dig up a grave heavily implied to contain Ava's remains, with the game cutting to black without showing him actually doing so. This version of the ending was deemed too much of a downer and ultimately rewritten.
    • Conversely, before the implementation of the AI upload station, the Combine ending would have involved Wilson being interrogated by Bad Cop's Advisor handler.
