The beginning of Our Benefactors has always fascinated me more than any other chapter. Being taken through the citadel as kind of a cinematic experience where you can just sit back and watch (the only one in the game!) and you get to see how insanely huge the citadel is inside, some of what goes on inside, a glimpse of the outside from very high up, the soundscape, god its so amazing. Definitely one of my favourites
I think reason people hate the driving sections so much, is because of the old driving mechanics. Nowadays i find these chapters relaxing and actually fun. To me any chapter that has G-man in it makes it S, because it feels you uncover more secrets and that he's behind it all. Also what i liked the most about sandtraps is that you build an army of antlions and the fight before Nova Prospect feels like unique twist on D-Day.
Ignore my dumb popped collar on my right shoulder I had no idea lol. I wanted to make this video 10 minutes but it's Half Life 2 and I rambled for almost 30 minutes. Whatcha gonna do
I used to watch my dad play half life 2 when I was around 7. I loved it. The zombies scared me to death so ravenholm gave me nightmares. We had surround sound so we could hear where the fast zombies were coming from
10:25 nothing new gameplay-wise in Anticitizen One? I humbly disagree Looking back it might not have been the most fleshed-out mechanic, but being able to command a squad of resistance soldiers in Anticitizen One and Follow Freeman blew me away at the time and gave those missions a unique feeling of scale and importance. It also enhances the narrative of Freeman being the one Free Man, a symbol of hope and rebellion that the downtrodden will follow into battle. This is a great idea for a tier list, Dredile! Love the video and thanks for sharing

Cool list bro! I only disagree with you about the Follow Freeman chapter in B tier. For me this chapter is the best and most memorable of the game, and what I feel it is the most unique that Half-Life can offer. When I first played Half-Life 2, back in 2005, I was amazed with the blend of War of the Worlds meets Stalingrad, with automatic weapons, that this chapter offers. It has some horror vibes too, when you hide from striders inside the apartment complex, and have to kill them using rockets. We cannot forget the "LG orbifold" set piece, that not only is one of the most epic action sequences in gaming, but also feels like humanity last desperate push against the overwhelming forces of the Combine. Anyway, it is always cool to know everyone elses opinion.
Hey dred, love your content. Been watching you for like a year or something. Looking forward to you blowing up. Kepp up the good work man youre killing it.
If you make another one of those sleeping in gmod map videos, you should spend one on gm construct 13 beta, gm construct 13 beta has a lot more scary stuff that can really freak you out if you aren't expecting it. Such as friendly npcs killing other friendlies, explosions, npcs turning into hostile stalkers, an npc of a girl you can save to turn her into a cone that lights up when you're in a "haunted area". A chair that has a secret to do with a specific prop on the map. The player character from half life 2 teleporting you or staring at you from far away, music playing and shadow people.
I was looking forward for this tier list, I agree for the most part and I'd only put Ravenholm in S tier because it's an epic chapter. Great job Dredile and it would be cool if you review the chapters of Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Episode 1 and Episode 2 in one go as they have awesome moments on those games/expansions.
looks like i disagree with u kinda hard S: highway 17, ravenholm A: our benefactors, water hazard, route kanal, point insertion B: nova prospekt, sandtraps, anticitizen one, entanglement C: dark energy, follow freeman, black mesa east, red letter day
My two Top chapters are Our Benefactors and Anticitizen 1. Other chapters are kinda cool like Nova Prospekt or We don't go to Ravenholm due to the gore number. The worst one would be H17 - that SB dropped me car on da roof, the nerve. It's a shame the Rebels didn't reverse engineer that plasma pulse cannon (on Airboat/Helicopter) - that'd be dope especially during Uprising
And also I think the one I hate the most is Novaprospekt... battling with Antlions is cool but I've never liked it for some reason. Maybe I felt it quite claustrophobic.

Air exchange, skyscraper ,and vertigo where the best chapters.

Ravenholm is the best chapter! I completely agree with your opinion and tbh was very curious where would you put this one.
If there was Ravenholm merch I would buy it
when are you doing your next vr horror video
From what we learned from this and HL1 tier list is that you like traveling around with vehicles lol
looks like i disagree with u kinda hard

20:37 What did you want to say here? "Holy shit I just realized that alot of what I like about..."
I think I was just thinking thats what I like a lot about sandtraps lol. Stream of consciousness

Good choices! Yeah Highway 17 is our estranged second cousin. Nice when he's around, but I've heard he's a bit of douche sometimes.
@@Dredile About the estranged cousin - that's putting it lightly. Will you be doing on Episodes too? :)
More vr overnight videos please
Water Hazard, like On a Rail is miss-understood, so to say.
Even the Black Mesa devs cut it's size but decided to make Xen 4 hours long. Ehh????
Ill do that one. Hah for me Follow Freeman is the best i love 2 port it on Gmod and play with custom weapons even some Tanks hah so much fun.
And also I think the one I hate the most is Novaprospekt... battling with Antlions is cool but I've never liked it for some reason. Maybe I felt it quite claustrophobic.
half life content in 2022
That's how good the game is haha here I am like 20 years later
@@Dredile I wonder if someone will make a mod based on Laidlaw's Epistle 3 - to FINALLY nail the story
