City Ruins Maps in Garry's Mod Are a Vibe

[@RadiationHazardYT]

Thank you for the well wishes, everyone. I'm currently dealing with a heavy throat infection and a severe flu. I noticed a few of you are also not feeling too good. Wish you all the best of health. Get well soon.

[@SaltyCrabOfficial]

You went from radiation hazard to radiation sickness... :(

[@thehazardousmemer1746]

You too buddy ( :

[@happywojak]

hope you get better man 🙂

[@MatthewFriends]

Hey Phil swift here! Here’s tape too get better

[@bennnoboyo5238]

i think it kinda fits the video in a way.

[@denifnaf5874]

Radhaz was captured by the combine and taken to parts unknown and he got replaced by a creepypasta narrator.

[@wooflakes]

God i love seeing a once populated area turned to ruins with debris everywhere the map tells a story without even saying anything

[@totaltakeovergames7275]

read it as ‘a once populated area turned into Serbia’ for a sec, truly terrifying

[@spacebassist]

"what happened here?" "everyone died" "oh yeah"

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

@@totaltakeovergames7275 To be fair, that isn't too far off from what OP said.

Hope you feel better soon lad

Always enjoyed these kinds of maps. One of my personal favourites is Gm_toxicair. It's set in a destroyed part of city 17 near the base of the citadel after the events of HL2 where it's really unstable. Has a couple of events that happen every so often but it's just such an eerie map that feels alive (and not in a good way) yet so empty. One of my favourites, but one of the very few that legitimately creep me out. Hope you get better soon!

[@matijajovic8125]

Of course the dark and gritty one had to be the best! 😎 I wish you a quick recovery Rad Haz!

[@9mmdose]

Gotta have respect for those who make ruin maps they take alot of time to make, but the end result is usually satisfying

[@DomiXen_Zvaczer]

I remember playing cityruins, actually fun as hell map but pretty eerie, the map is basically what it looks like after the citadel explodes and demolishes 98% of city 17

[@St3lk]

Well... thanks for picking up one of my maps. The way you commented about it was the exact thing I was thinking about while building it. The consistency is the key.

[@murray613]

I'm a little sick myself right now so I'm glad I've got something to watch. I'll certainly have to use a few of these maps. I hope you get well soon, Rad!

[@crafter5458]

Next GMod map video should be on the various Halo RP maps or maps that attempt to replicate a more colorful art style such as one found in Halo CE. Either way, loved it!

[@RadiationHazardYT]

That's a great suggestion! I've noted it down.

[@crafter5458]

@@RadiationHazardYT Glad to hear! Hope you recover from being sick, it happens to the best of us.

[@overlordmgcover2262]

One map I really miss (because it has been deleted for whatever reason :C) is gm_evac. It was a small and relatively simple EP1 themed map. Yet it was one of the back EP1 maps in my opinion. I wished someone would reupload it.

[@Operator_Krystof]

Ey I am also sick, hope you get well soon. Anyways I really like the vibes of the maps.

[@thehazardousmemer1746]

Same

[@FiskenIsFishy]

Wtf same

[@hubanimations]

I like city_ruin's yellow sickly sky. It reminds me of Seattle during the summer of 2020 as a result of the Californian wildfires that year. Across the west coast, the sky turned a sickly yellow and orange. With the political tension that had built up that year in the United States (Especially in places like Seattle and Portland), it felt a little apocalyptic. In the case of this map, it could be smoke from the region washing over the ruined city, implying a much greater scope of destruction than what we see in the map itself.

[@dreamymaccready2287]

another banger video as always I hope you get better soon radhaz!

[@d3w01d]

Hope you get better, im sick right now as well lol

[@mohamednail1707]

I love games and maps set in abandoned and destroyed cities that's why I enjoyed games like metro and stalker.

[@Michael2200]

My favorite maps are flooded buildings or city's i wish there would be more of them.

[@eurikadude]

These ruined abandoned maps are simply more interesting to me than regular maps. Don't get me wrong there are loads of better maps that are not ruins but as you said in the video, it feels like these have a story to it and i dig the aesthetic of it too.

[@ElmeriThePig]

I used to and maybe I will in the future play Half-Life 3 in Gmod. Basically I created my own HL3 story (which didn't make any sense, unsurprisingly. Also it was still the time when HLA wasn't released.), and choose the suitable maps for it. At the start, the Citadel is back again (for some reason?) so Gordon and Barney has to go and destroy it. The ruins of City 17 is actually the "city_ruins" map. I didn't even know it's supposed to be City 17, I just thought it was really suitable ruins map for the destroyed City 17 after EP1. I also wish you quick recovering Rad! And folks, what do you think about my Christmas hat?

[@RadiationHazardYT]

Thanks Elmeri, and nice hat!

[@manigoldo8736]

I'm a wreck due to a very aggressive flu, yesterday I was thinking about how a new Radhaz video would be great and here you are, hope you get well soon!

[@djent7703]

Great video man. It would be really cool to see you talking too about the differences between Half Life Uplink (normal version from 1998) and Half Life Uplink Extended Source (in my opinion, this source version is good too and have some secrets on the map) Greetings from Brazil. Best wishes.

[@RadiationHazardYT]

Thanks for the suggestion. I've noted it.

[@Kingofstones1]

Agree man,gives me nostalgic feeling for some reason

[@thehazardousmemer1746]

Sick gang here. Everyone in my family is sick(all 3 of us)and I’ve had burning throat at random times and stuffy nose. I haven’t even got my booster shot for school yet because the doctors aren’t letting me and I know that if they give me the booster shot while I’m sick then the whole shot will be useless.Anyways,I hope we both get better.

[@Vendicator]

Good video as always. I think my favourite map has to be the lambda wars ported one becouse i used to play that mod a lot with my friends. Also I hope you will get well soon. Have a good day!

[@CatsT.M]

I hope you get well soon...unlike those cities; they will not get well soon.

[@vikkye2691]

*chef kiss* Im glad city_ruins is what inspired you to make this, its been one of my favorites for years. of the 4200 hours i have on gmod, half that is scene building on types of maps just like these

[@DaRealBruner]

Nothin' hits harder than Source aesthetics. Also, make sure to get well soon man.

[@NoVIcE_Source]

eyyyy a new radiation hazard vid 6:11 yess dark and gritty 😤

[@insetfurball5572]

ya know for me it dosent even sound that u are sick. but yea, city ruins is cool concept for me. one of the reasons i liked halo 3 odst i guess. everything feels that i missed the big battle and only thing left is rubbish and ashes

[@Halex69]

There is a map called gm_vj city at war or something like that That one is a great ruined city map it's like my all-time favorite You should check that one out too

[@pr3ssstart]

Yeah you said name correctly, cool map with that red sky and its looks more like a real city

[@XanderNiles]

City17 themed maps look like they came straight off Episode One because in that game is where you get to explore it further. Overall, all those maps look really nice and they reminded me when I used to do world building back in 2013 with City 8 maps (the combine themed ones).

[@capper528]

thank god its not just me who thinks like this and great video!

[@happywojak]

2:05 mexico be like

[@planescaped]

I'd love to see you cover and speculate on more Garry's mod maps.

[@dezynjikReal]

goofy ahh old radhaz voice great video

[@lambdadoomer8932]

Idk whats better, this channel or fanbase of this channel

[@Klau5]

Looks like I missed this one. City ruins maps are my favorite, they're super nostalgic for me because my first Gmod maps were city ruins maps as I was a huge fallout fan at the time. Two maps I would love to recommend if you do a follow up are City Ruins 2 and RP_OldWorld. City Ruins 2 is like a remaster of city ruins with more locations and some expansions to existing locations. RP_Old World is not quite a city Ruins map but more of wasteland map in a similar aesthetic to city ruins, with inspiration from fallout 1 and 2s art style. I used to play Old world a lot with a mod that added the mad max vehicle customization system to Gmod.

[@Luka2000_]

City Ruins and City Ruins 2 are my favorite maps when i want to roleplay as a resistance fighter against Terminators

[@Replatforming]

No it's RadHaz videos that are a vibe. The mysterious ambiences, slow pans across nostalgic maps and that classic grimey source engine atmosphere -- perfect

[@mr.cheese2928]

Hi Raddy, Thanks for making this video. I hope you're going fine. Can you maybe in the future make a review about a Half-Life 1 mod called The Gates. It's a very "interesting" mod. It's basically *Indiana Jones* + *Half-Life* experience also it is worth mentioning that the mod has a sequel released back in 2014 for Half-Life 2

[@RadiationHazardYT]

Thanks Mr Cheese. I've noted down the mod's name. I'll look it up.

[@BmPWasTaken]

Get well soon

[@trafficlight5445]

I'm Tom, and thanks rad! Edit: I hope you get better.

[@SpaceBungiejump]

[@narrowgauge0727]

well ive got a great thing for you, im making a gmod city ruins map, with the purpose of rp or npc warfare. I intend on making it a huge map. however get well soon.

[@TheONLYFeli0]

I hope it's good

[@KingMetalMario]

city_ruins also has a complex sewer and train tunnel system and some of the apartments have full interiors with proper rooms and architecture

[@andresbravo2003]

You’ll be good soon man. ❤

[@RadiationHazardYT]

Thanks :)

[@agentgollem1919]

I agree looking at map destroyed feel so odd I remember ages ago going arond in a map of half life 2 deatmatch that featured a house destroyed I was imaginating so much about it like "combine came, and then launched headcrab canister"

[@cayborg]

I remember a long time ago (like 8 years ago) me and a friend I had would load up this map with DoD playermodels and m9k rifles, and we'd both try to hunt each other whilst hiding within the map somewhere.

[@ThatRandomGamer_Main]

Get well soon!

[@health_angel]

Wish you well and get well soon everyone. Sadly in video there was not included rp_industrial17_destroyed, the iconic map through Garry's Mod roleplay map series which got destroyed. If you make part 2 to include this one, I am looking forward to it.

[@mathewgerneth2387]

Never stop making videos, have fun, and stay positive!

[@toprocket8556]

I have played on at least two of these maps also I like the more classic content instead of the mean stuff So this was great

[@mitkodimtrov3914]

Hope you get better man The video as all videos you have is perfect

[@mabs9503]

Yes, making a clean and nicely put together map is stupidly easy but putting together something war torn or really any kind of random or chaotic map is extremely difficult.

[@stproducciones9140]

you can tell RadHaz is pakistani because seeing war torn ruins makes him nostalgic

[@ponds34]

I know this is off topic but you should play some of the custom levels for coterminus, they are in the discord and they are very good

[@Alekscho996]

It would be interesting to see a few with current day Melitopol or another Ukrainian city near the sea be mapped out in this sort of way, with any profits made going towards the restoration of said cities.

[@sleepyNovember_project]

[@DeltaDoesGarbaj]

You should explore rp_singularity. It's a beta inspired city 17 map from what I've seen, and it's a pretty good take on c17 in general.

What's the background ambience you're using in this video? Is that from F.E.A.R.? Sounds like it could be but I don't recognize it.

[@RadiationHazardYT]

Nope, it's from Nuclear Medication. The track is called "Advisors". You can listen to it on the 2nd channel (Hazard Music). kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJe0ooaaorFpr8U
