The four chapter run of Ravenholm, Highway 17, Sandtraps, and Nova Prospekt is easily my favorite section of HL2. That stretch is what (for me at least) cemented HL2 as one of the greatest games ever made.

[@tornado8564]

The entire "second day" of HL2 is a masterpiece in how to design atmosphere in a game, I agree with you.

[@wierdguylol3495]

The first part was nice but the limited arsenal was bad. The 2nd day was a masterpiece, i loved driving and running over combine and the bridge section was enjoyable, sandtraps was fine and nova prospect was also very good. Finally, the city 17 urban warfare was straight chaos

[@peacecookie34]

The coast chapters are so beautiful and peaceful. I love the dark, stormy skies before you enter Nova Prospekt

[@some-replies]

the airboat and buggy levels really blew my mind expecting just a shooter

[@Mcree114]

The airboat section would've been more fondly remembered if it was just a bit more like Highway 17 with little optional areas to explore and scripted encounters in those places. Perhaps after getting the gun and scaring the chopper off the player would feel like they've earned the leeway to open up and explore the environment rather than bum rush through feeling rushed.

[@samuelantoniocastillomeza5034]

Bridgepoint and the whole Highway 17 chapter has for me those "Sunday vibes". Cozy but at the same time a bit, off.

[@GikamesShadow]

Here is why it feels cozy yet odd: It is apocalyptic. Lemme explain: It feels like a normal place untouched by the Combine. A place where people settled down even before the 7 hour war. Someone has lived here. Gave the place history. And even after the war, it gained further history. Over time the bridge itself was either built or just taken by the combine and the small houses would still remain. Ghosts of the past. Shells of History. They feel normal. As if nothing had happened. And yet... of course something did.

[@Merknilash]

It’s my favorite part of the game by far Play it in the fall when the weather gets cool

[@libertarianterminator]

The moment that soundtrack started playing under the bridge, my gameplay experience started being actively transferred into permanent memory.

[@ANGRYMUNCI]

In my opinion, this level showed the true level of destruction the combine created. You see the ocean drained the atmosphere. This is one of my favourite levels.

[@Skyrionn]

Which Half-Life series map stands out to you the most? For me - either Bridge Point or Ravenholm. Both iconic.

[@koskettaja609]

City 17 early in hl2, love the urban maps

[@tornado8564]

Ravenholm, the entire Coast including Bridge Point and Lighthouse Point, and the dam before Black Mesa East

[@ValveBoi-ps8zx]

Half-life 2 - Bridge Point, Ravenholm, Nova Prospekt Episode One - Citadel Core Episode Two - Victory Mine

[@Dogy7764]

Either for me it's the Depot or Citadel, i love the combine style.

[@ArcticVXR1]

We always see Half Life as a pretty scary place in general. But i don't think that compares to the sheer horror of having a man in an orange suit bunny hopping all around you, shooting you from different angles. Imagine being one of those combine soldiers 🤣

[@suicidalbanananana]

"Uhhh overwatch im seeing an orange blur, please advice?" *_UUUU-EEEEEEE-KGGGGgggggggg.... Unit down at block 3, all units respond_*

[@SerpentNight]

The music when you pass under the bridge is my favorite in the game.

[@FreelanceDev4life]

This is phenomenal storytelling! I was about 16 years old when I played this game, and the bridge still sticks clearly in my mind as a great level in FPS games. 25 days from now Half-Life 2 will be 20 years old....

[@RetiredMemeLord]

fun fact: originally in the Beta the Bridge was connected to the Road before it was changed to a Railroad in the Full Release.

[@TheCandywho]

amazing thumbnail, if you could talk about the "cool-sad area" i would like it i also feel like your videos have been doing better in terms of quality, as in some shots, footage looks hand-held camera recorded, and also the use of stasis reminds me of episode 1 and the breencast, good work!

I always abused the quicksave key when the gunship showed up. Trying to navigate your way back to the rocket crate while that thing was shooting at you was always pretty frantic. The bridge in general was always one of my favorite sections of the game.

[@aurorafox1283]

Same, untill i realised i can shoot it down before if all my 3 rockets hit

[@Stickman_Productions]

I thought that I was supposed to stay in the room and shoot the rockets through the windows at the gunship, so I was raging so hard during that part. (This was also before I learned that I could steer the rockets. I'm extremely slow when it comes to games)

[@joannanawrothenormie910]

Dude, that bridge was perfect, the music, the gameplay, and the combat encounter

[@cihloun]

It's nice seeing these smaller places get the spotlight

[@randomnetsurfer]

I'm really not good at jumping puzzles in video games, so the bridge was always heart-stopping.

[@cabrinius7596]

imagine how bad it would be if you were in Gordon’s position and actually had to climb it……

[@peacecookie34]

Even after playing the game multiple times, I still manage to miss jumps

[@Hamknee]

Btw u can just backward accelerate back hop into a grenade to strafe the bridge and skip that entire section

[@randomnetsurfer]

@@cabrinius7596 I try very hard to NOT think of that :D

[@Useless_Science]

I played HL2 no lessthan 2 months ago, this is a very rememberable place, mainly cuz it took a while for me to realize you have to go under the bridge to turn off the combine only door. And ab9ut 4 deaths, 2 from the train, 2 fromthe dropship plus just inentionally playing dumb cuz i was losing my mind after 9 hours straight of HL2, to continue playing another 3 hours atleast lmao. When I first saw this area, I thought "oh cool another random place i can take from residentials that have ammo cuz why not!" When i saw the combine and the combine only forcefield "Ah dang, guess its kwned by the combine, anyway more shootie shootie!"

[@sergiomurillo9930]

Are you going to do a video on the Gargantua?

[@Hyper-active-studios]

BABE WAKE UP SKYRIONN POSTED A HALF LIFE VIDEO!!!

[@s0vi3t_m0m4]

I just admire your voice tone when you talk, it makes the video always 200% more amazing

[@theshapeshifter6145]

the bridge was my favourite part of HL2. Up until then I thought the game was pretty cool, but once I got to the underneath where Lab Practicum plays I had a Danny DeVito "I get it" moment.

[@Gamercap10]

It's such a mysterious spot aswell, fog so you can't see anything, you can't even see civilisation or City 17 anywhere, just a wasteland filled with combine. Nice video! Edit: Please do a video discussing the several outposts in the canals and maybe more in the wasteland for more backstory on those areas!

[@jakeohligerintheflesh]

Hey Skyrionn, I know that looking at other HL2 mods for lore isn't necessarily your thing but I'd love to hear your narration about Azure Sheep, POV, Entropy Zero 1-2 and it's future spinoffs when they release or something like They Hunger. There is a lot of neat stuff in those mods that would be neat to make lore videos on [even if it's just for the mods and not for the creatures since there are many new creatures in these mods] Hope it's a good idea and I really enjoyed the video!

[@Spartan9320]

One of my favorite moments is only because of the song for it. When you leave Ravenholm, having left behind a man resigned to his fate, and you come across the Resistance outpost that gives you the buggy. Triage at Dawn encapsulates the general tone of the first half of Half Life 2. It's somber...all you have seen is devastation and the broken spirit of those who remain. Like the members of that outpost might be relieved to see you, having torn apart the Combine squad attacking them. But they are grieving the lost, almost immediately as they know they might not have another moment to do so. But they know your mission, and they will give you all they have so you can see it through.

[@ethansgamingroom2000]

Some areas in Half-Life are unnoticed by people who want to be quick Also, can you so a video on the underground Railroad of city 17 pls

[@Frankyhorrigan]

True

[@joannanawrothenormie910]

When I first saw the bridge point I was like "yeah just another combine border" and them I saw that vid and now I know the darker mystery behind it.

[@RYRY1002]

Every time I play through HL2 and I get to the second Bridge Point map and Lab Practicum starts playing, I always find myself taking a moment to stop and just listen to the track. It is so good and yet so haunting. I also love that olive green the bridge is made out of. It is an instantly recognisable color for me.

[@davvvvo]

My favorite part about the bridge is the beta design Left overs on it and on the map poster.

[@ryszakowy]

if memory serves right it's combine who use bridge outpost not enough signs of rebel presence to deem it destroyed resistance outpost

[@troublemonkey1_626]

Great video skyrionn! I was wondering if you would ever check out the arkane games, Prey (2017), or the Dishonoured franchise. Both have really good stories and would provide a lot of content for videos

[@xBruceLee88x]

Loved when the menu screen turned to this as the background, and the later city ruins

[@Skyrionn]

Same!

[@pokseri9322]

My top 3 half life 2 parts is: 3. The Urban Warfare Maps (Anticitizen one, follow freeman) I love the setting of the maps and compat. 2. Nova prospekt and Entanglement (tie) Entanglement is highly underrated imo. I love the Dark and Gritty style of the maps and the turret fights. 1. Ravenholm Gives Nostalgic Doom 3 vibes.

[@thornthornz]

Someone said he could talk about a random white forest rock for 20 minutes and id still be invested and truer words have not been spoken

[@txcrix9236]

Easily my favorite part of the game. The architecture of the huge bridge, the visuals and the sounds are just beautiful.

Besides nova prospekt bridgepoint was a personal Fav, i made sure to avenge the fallen resistance by decorating the houses with combine soldiers, spiking them to the walls with the Crossbow 😂

It's so satisfying when you get a double kill with a crossbow
