      I agree to some point but this mod makes the start too streched out, as if to teach you the generic layout of the city. At times it feels a bit too random. It would be fine if they make you revisit the same streets during the uprising, but it is still too long. It is also as if they try to show you every bit of non implemented concept about the city.

    That's so cool of them to have some relics of the past be aged in this version of the game. Especially around 1:49:40 where Gordon picks up an old fashioned 'OEM' type battery pack for the HEV, hence why you hear the indicator beep twice in a rather defeated low powered hum, which normally afterwards would be 'Power is --%' indicating vocally that's how it was designed in game. The charging station that was operational yet worn out overtime too being more obvious but a nice nod back to the old Half Life 1 days.

Like it somehow broke free of the combine perhaps due to the resistance messing up their military. Sounds pretty cool now that I think about it and could exemplify the combine's weakening grip on city 17 as freeman leads the resistance against them

    As much as I love the original retail release of HL2 I think I like the original design of the beta environments much better. Especially Ravenholm, I couple pick out certain familiar spots that were plucked from this full chapter and used in the retail release of the map. As much as I loved the look of Ravenholm in the retail release of the game the design, layout and how buildings connected to each other never made any sense to me. Especially the spot with the railway and buildings with random elevators in them with no proper way to get to them. Now it makes sense to me seeing it like this. :)

    • @Slane583
      @Slane583 Год назад +3

      @BBCDESTROYER2006 I know. But when you look at the uncut layout from Ravenholm in this recreation of the HL2 Beta it also has areas blocked off as it should. But it makes sense as to where everything leads. There were spots I could pick out that were familiar from the retail game but they all linked up to other areas.
      But when you look at those same areas in the retail version of the map they go to nowhere as if the map was rushed to get the game out on time. There were also hidden areas you crawled into to get health and ammo but made no sense being there other than for that purpose.
      Some of the buildings that you had to go through gave a good idea of what it was meant to be used for while the town was active but when you look at it closer you stop to realize there's no proper way in besides the one person sized door you took to get into it.
      The one brick building you go into that has the elevator in it looks like forklifts are suppose to be able to go into it but at the bottom it's just an incredibly tall foundation with no ramps or docks of any type to get on to the elevator with any type of vehicle. The elevator also just leads to a rooftop room that has a skylight and the room looks just big enough for a person with a pallet jack to move things around in it. There's also just a single person sized door leading to a rooftop and nowhere else.
      The design of it is made to give you an idea of its' purpose but doesn't actually work out the more you look at it.
      I'll apologize in advance for my nitpicking, but for me it's just an observational thing.
      Out of all the maps in HL2 Ravenholm is my absolute favorite because of the feel and building architecture. But when you look at certain things much closer it makes you wonder how you're even suppose to get to certain spots from any of the buildings if the town was still active.
      So the retail version makes no sense. This uncut version does make sense as everything links up and goes to somewhere. Again, it's just me looking too much into things. :)

  • @MegaChickenfish
    @MegaChickenfish Год назад +9

    While I still think there's room for improvement in a few segments I think this is without question the best take on the HL2 beta yet. The Ravenholm chapter was my favorite with all the creative use of traps. The weapon lineup is spectacular, especially with how you get to borrow the OP weapons from the other main characters for certain segments. Huge leaps from what I originally played, with my criticisms only really being nitpicks like "this final vehicle scene could use some more epic music" or "there should be a bit more going on for us to bump into in the intro before Kleiner's Lab" and "it's a bit hard to tell what I can and can't crash through on the water vehicle section so I keep crashing into things." Though sometimes that's used cleverly, like me going "die, bullsquid!" and the BULLSQUID rams into ME, sending the entire vehicle backwards.

    While it's incredible that we get to play this version of HL2, I can see why Valve were changing so many things. I like this version of City 17, it's much more atmospheric and the characters are very likable. I even start to prefer this version of Alyx and Eli. But especially the escape City 17 bit feels like an unnecessarily long walking simulator. I get that it's supposed to make you feel as lost as Gordon and feel the dread and fear. But in the end you just go from set piece to set piece without any real purpose or sense of direction. So I get why they picked up the pace in the final game and give you just enough time to get a feel for the seriousness of the situation. I don't get why they changed the whole location though. Maybe to remove the skyscrapers to highlight the citadel? As an East German the final version of City 17 feels too real, like home, with a very familiar sense of dread that we'd rather like to forget. But this version feels like a dystopian nightmare, set in a fictitious world (from my point of view), which I prefer for a Half Life sequel. So in pacing and gameplay, I prefer the final game. But in atmosphere and presentation, the beta is a clear winner.

    I think that Beta is much much better than final HL2 release. Gloomy and darker. Much details like Gonarch's womb at zombified city. That explains everything about infestation. There is a lot of small things. Shotgun alternate fire is correct. Instead of stupid citizens (resistance) there meant to be conscripts and - that is my idea - they might be commandered by Adrian Shephard. Barney should be deleted. Half Life 2 is not a bad game, but changes went wrong way. I think that some manager has ordered to remove the best levels, weapons and characters just for fun , just to spoil the whole story. Now we have plot incomplete (ravenholm). The main badguy - Consul would be much charismatic than Breen.

    For the chopper fight in the canals, I had literally just abandoned my boat because I got it stuck with APC’s firing rockets at it. So I decided that I needed not to unstuck the boat, but get over the wall on the other end of the arena. I proceeded to trudge over behind a boat fairly close to the rightmost side until I got to the little door there are realized that there is a boat specific trigger. So at this point I think I’m probably just screwed until I had an idea, there were still some supply crates around the map, I could just stack them! So I spend nearly 30 minutes, going back and forth, to get 3 supply crates to the other side of the arena. At this point I’m down to 2% health, I got a couple of boxes stacked I have to climb them but the ai is on to my plan and is camping the area, so, I waited, and tried, and tried until I finally did it, I got past it he dam and into the next level, and was left with the knowledge that I wasted my time doing something most people could’ve finished an hour earlier.

    This "original" version of City17 (and HL2) are much darker and has "american" feeling instead of "post-soviet-eastern-european" which we've seen in release. This City17 looks more like New York of the 30'th.
    Also - design of enemy APCs are much better. And those "mutants with flamethrowers" looks really scary.
    Overall atmosphere looks much more like "scary-evil dictatorship", than what we got in release.
    (Especially moment, when soldiers are marching through the night street in columns - Yeah! That's it!)
    And some alien flora/fauna looks different. More "otherworldly"
    It's like designers were highly inpired by J.Orwell and H.P.Lovecraft.
    Why did they changed the concept? Who knows.
    I don't want to say, the release version is bad, but here we definitely see something much more artistic and atmospheric.
