The main reason behind very few driving levels in the entire game was related to the limitations of the Source Engine, the most important one, the complete size of the map which was way smaller than any other Engine that came before. Due to the constant loading screens every time you walked on a straight line for more than 4 minutes (and both game and music freezing with them), the driving paths for those high speed sections had to be done in something like a "zig.zag" way for the player to drive for longer periods with fewer loading screens than in normal game play.
@@thyssenbot oh I don't mean open-world, just longer/larger driving areas where one could just...vibe. Wouldn't change Half-Life design for anything, so long as the quality remains.
@@thyssenbot I remind when i played a RP map in gmod and it was city17 but it was like a open world, it was cool tbh but i think it wouldn't work in half life, only in gmod
@@SimplyDuker And the background "dawn" .. that otherworldly color scheme, theme of the slight yellow/orange emerging toward fully exposed dark blue space that is slowly fading away while embracing moon's crescent reflection, and the monstrous deterrent citadel against the only guy(in this case its alyx) who opposes/rejects it's wish only adds up to that instrumental intensity build up feeling..
This song feel like someone just opened a portal to another dimension, in which emotions resonate with the air. And your filled with relive, sorrow, hope and sadness. Edit: so this song is (atleast for me) the DEFINITION of respite.
every time I see that car, I wish that there could've been more open-ended levels for driving.

maybe in HL3
HL2 was great because it had none of this open world bloat. I hope that if HL3 comes out, it stays that way.

there was a loop on UA-cam, but I couldn't find it so this edit appeared and you saved me so much time, thx
I came to look for it after wickedslicks extended triage at dawn as i usualy do about once a year haha
Something extraordinaly magical about this feeling..
I know right? It feels like you are actually transcending, but at the same time down-to-earth, it's insane.

@@yasinzeydulusoy A perfect sci-fi dystopian feeling.

@@timostark5225 Great description.
@0:30 immediately makes me think of Eve online soundtrack
people dive into a story then never want to pull out
That's why it's called a "loop"
@@SimplyDuker Argh argh argh argh argh!
I never pull out, so I agree
@@deloreandmc88same here
One day, we all get a message from the friend with the words "Half-Life 3 is confirmed!". Only problem, When it will happen?
When either our passion for HL tragically dies out as we move on or something far far bigger happens.
When lord Gaben finally realizes that he has sinned and forsaken his followers.
I don't think it will ever happen, lord Gaben has forsaken his followers.
2030. You won't own anything and you'll be happy.
@@deloreandmc88 U really think half-life 3 will come so early?
Просто шедевр..
