  RUNWAY  

Just surprising they would mention this; most levels just do not let the doors open.

I wonder if initially, they were thinking about allowing two entry points, depending on how you finished Facility (much like some aspects of Perfect Dark).
It was proposed that the player would start at the chute, like in the movie, but it would work better in terms of the swirl exiting from the door and starting inside the room.

Probably, that was decided upon when they realized none of their levels included Bond moving and then starting, it just swirled around him.

It'd be weird to just start swirling in the middle of the chute.

The main unused Runway vehicle was the motorcycle. Yes, it does make a cameo in surface, but the true purpose was in Runway.

It probably would have acted as another vehicle other than the tank, or maybe more like the boat, where it went a path with Bond firing and took him to the cut-scene.

If so, it wouldn't work well, with the objectives they made.
"Riding" the motorcycle. Probably would've acted like the tank once you got in.
The biker, completely unused by the finished game, would have to have been used in the Runway level. He could have intended to ride a motorcycle along Bond, Bond stole it from him, or many such scenarios, but they were never programmed.

It would have been interesting to see how they did it, with the guard somehow connected to the motorcycle, but able to be shot off, and the motorcycle blown out, exploding and killing guard as well.
This "door" has always seemed suspicious. Runway in itself is a level with mostly open space, and little else. I always wondered if there was going to be something inside here.

Another weird thing is Runway has a cheat time on agent of 5 minutes. That's ridiculously easy. It could just be so the person knows cheats are there, but I suspect there was a lot more to this now simplistic level.

Note that this door is just a wall texture in the final version. Yet remember in Silo, the blue "wall door" in that beta area which would have housed another room.
