- Half Life 2 Beta: Ravenholm - We Don't Go There Anymore
A look at the Beta maps for Ravenholm. Surprisingly, it didn't receive any drastic changes like the other ones. The only change that was major was the change in layout; changing it to what we have today in retail.

Sidenote: SO sorry about the stream disaster that happened last Sunday. I didn't know both my internet and mic would betray me like that. Next time, I'll make sure everything's in order before I go live. Thanks for showing up though!
The creepy abandoned mining town asthetic is really cool but the retail games version is also really good. One of my favorite chapters In hl2.
@Burgah Boy What is your favorite then?
@@Late_NightRev Guess we'll never know.
Ah yes, the true beta survivor.
damn that was fast :O
If there was any maps half life2 really nailed, it was ravenholm and nova prospect
I add the coast in general to that as well. I loved the highway run along the sea followed by the floor is lava along the beach. It reminds me of going to the beach on holiday and jumping along the tops of the WW2 tank defence blocks.
In Beta Ravenholm,
It is always sunny.
"its always sunny in Ravenholm"
Before the e3 map, the previous ones definitely remind me of HL1 more than anything. More like something an expansion like Opposing Force of Blue Shift would have, maybe because of the more primitive graphics similar to HL1.
Yeah it does look like as if the maps are being run on HL1's GoldSrc engine.
Ravenholm was originally supposed to take place before Black Mesa East until really late the game's development, that's why they put alot of work into that lake on the edge of town overlooking the sunset, it's a shame this area in particular went to waste, always loved it ever since I saw that e3_docks gameplay teaser back in 2003.
I'd love to see this area restored into the retail game, like for example have the escape tunnel from Black Mesa East lead out to the far side of this lake and have the player make their way to the docks and then enter the town.
A mod by the name of Half Life 2 Overcharged restored the lake alongside the mines
@@zorgapb4691 the overhyped mod lol try raising the bar redux
I used to think ickypop took place at the ravenholm docks
Imagine if it did though
I’d like to mention the “D” prefixes were used before 2003. d4_palace_01 and d4_streetwar_01 (I think that’s the name) I believe were from mid 2002, but I’m not sure. The d1_quarry_01 map may have been from around the same time. Also, I find it weird how they added so much greenery. I wonder how they planned to transition from the canals/wasteland to Ravenholm.
Ah ok. I was under the impression that the "d" prefixes is a retail/2003 thing. I was also thinking about the transition point while making this. I think it would have been something like - Wasteland to Quarry to Quarry Town, seeing that all 3 start on-foot. But interestingly, Quarry02 starts from the canals. I don't know; maybe they ditched the Wasteland for the Canals and then started work on Ravenholm.
@@RadiationHazardYT I think that’s the most plausible transition. You did mention in the Depot video that there were trees in the skybox in one of the versions, so maybe there was supposed to be some kind of connection there.
D Is a day because half life 2 is 3 day long
the d in the maps are in days.
The ZombieTown maps just feel like they were an annoying pit stop that didn't add anything, just a temporary roadblock, and the fact that it's also in the day makes me think I'm right.
It was an interesting idea, but it would have been not as good as retail Ravenholm. I could imagine that ZombieTown map expanded (like a full fledged town) and taking place in daylight, but the retail Ravenholm is much, much better.
@@RadiationHazardYT I was thinking how Zombie town could be scary and the only thing I could think of is going into the factory and then underground that's infested with zombies and headcrabs.
But yeah no retail ravenholm is 1000 times better.
6:40 Want to know what's even more perfect? The fact that this is what the weather looked like when i first watched this video, and today it also looks like that.
That intro part was really well done, GREAT JOB! Not even joking, at 6:35 I said "Holy shit" because of how good it looks. Ravenholm is one of my, at least, top 5 favorite HL chapters.
Thanks my dude! I wasn't fond of the Ravenholm chapter at first, but now I've grown to love it :)
THE HEAD CRABS LOOK LIKE CHEESE PUFFS IM DYING
In retail I heard that on one of the boarded passageways you could roughly see where the player would originally enter the town
There is a video which adds the E3 parts back to ravenholm.
The opening speech sounds like a former resident speaking about the past glory of Ravenholm.
6:30 damn that's eerie!
Very good video, I love old 2001 Ravenholm style!
Thanks Gman! :D
@@RadiationHazardYT Thanks Gordon Freeman, for making this beautyful video)
I love your videos dude! There's not really many good channels on CZcams that go into as much detail on the half-life 2 beta as much as you do. ❤️
2:51 Simpons are in the same universe with Half-Life 2 beta
Quality work. Looking forward to more Beta info.
5:46
"good map, I like how they added in the details."
M..Morgan Freeman?
Ravenholm (beta and retail) summed up: 50,000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town.
That intro is really really awesome. Gives me chills.
Ravenholm feels like a classic British Industrial revolution-era town or city. Lots of brick, lots of machine all over the place. The narrow passages and everything. Cosy and olden.
It's a shame they decided to make the textures less photo-like. It gave it a nice life-like feel to these maps
Probably console limitations (could be wrong tho source games are much muchhh better about data management than something like say: fallout new vegas)
I see zombietown as a pit stop to the mining town. But the sign that says Springfield next 3 exits, what if that means zombietown takes place before SPRINGFIELD, the mining town.
When the nholm rusts off of the Ravenholm sign
Fantastic video.
when it comes to Ravenholm think I'll stick with the final version. As Gordon Freeman leaves Black Mesa East he enter's a City of the dead.
Originally entering Ravenholm from the Canals would have been cool, shame they cut that.
Great video as usual! I’m just curious what song you used in the background??
Both tracks are from the Black Mesa OST. One's called Catalyst, and the other is called Border World :) And thank you!
My favoritw thing about beta ravenholm is the e3 2002 entrance of the town
Same
My brother walked by while I was watching this. He thought it was a shampoo commercial at first
for some reason I think Ravenholm as a movie
Putting a common bird name and then "holm" at the end is almost always cool. Crowholm. Doveholm. Robinholm. Pidgeonholm is just New York, though.
Seagullholm is literally any coastal city
Titholm
that was a cool ass intro
great video
Thanks my man! :)
Ravenholm was one of my favorite locations
*to the tune of Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)*
We don't go down there anymore
No, we just don't down there anymore
n i c e
i play 'we don't go to ravenholm' chapter on the detailed version. and most of the L4D community made ravenholm spin-off campaigns for the fans.
The ZombieTown_03 and 01 looks like in Nevada,i kinda like it
Yes the intro
Light and gritty
Wait a minute, at 2:49, is that the forge from the HL1 valve logo?
tip for those who watch this... speed 1.25x ...you are welcome
Hey, if anyone knows where the "proto_church" maps are or where I can find 'em, do please tell.
This video was very interesting, but when you started talking about the maps the background soundtrack sounds familiar, im wondering if anyone knows it
The track used is called "Catalyst" from the Black Mesa OST.
Tread lightly, for this is hollowed grounds
Noice video
ZombieTown02 (DO NOT RESEARCH)
What
@@jennifertottenham2995 half life iceberg entry
Do you always talk in that monotonous and robotic tone, or is it just for show? Anyway, great content.
your voice sounded like videogamedunkey
What about the child body under bed in the clinical hospital of beta Ravenholm?
*1:05 if you're confused
Beta is real CHAD
Good
Well, it's been 3 months, have you finally gotten out of Ravenholm?
No :(
Tragic...
Where's the church maps?
Did someone hear a cat just now?
i'm not sure if this'll be taken as an insult or not but i don't mean for it to be; this dude speaks like gman
Lol, I'll take that as a compliment. Granted my earlier videos has me talking in a very, slow, fashion. Which I regret doing. Thankfully I commentate a little faster now.
if Half Life 2 happens in just 3 days, why does Kleiner say that we took 1 week to teleport to his lab?
Gordon is awake for a total of 3 days, the slow teleport doesn’t count
looks like a tf2 map honestly
its similar to cs1.6. map
Boat?
at this part it looks like that one tf2 map czcams.com/video/aISnB9ie9Oo/video.html
