The Town That Never Was [Town Mod]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- In this video, I yap about Town Mod. A recently released mod for Half Life 2 Beta. Town Mod is essentially a recreation of an early version of Ravenholm as seen in the leaked maps. You can play this on top of your Half Life 2 Beta patched build (e.g. Mega Build). Half Life 2 Beta. Dark and Gritty.

WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE? 🌹😳😩💀🌹😳😩💀🌹😳😩💀
yes
@@bozo69420-lhell yeah i got a date
@@RadiationHazardYTjust to clarify i am a male
I couldn't ask for more
i thought the half life 2 beta was your valentine :(
Enemy spawn rates being so high that they get stuck with eachother is the ultimate dark and gritty feeling
One of Coach's quotes fits Ravenholm and this town well:
"THIS USED TO BE A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD!"

Fun fact: The voice actor for Father Grigori also voices Bill.

Couch :)
Considering how dark the original City 17 in the beta version was, this town looks like a small drop of paradise in a devastated combine world

A perfectly dark n griddy valentine's gift!
There is something magical about these early 2000s sunset skyboxes from unreleased versions of the games... I remember that our "totally official distributors" of half life 2 used quite alot of screenshots from this Ravenholm demo.
Also, early versions of stalker had quite alot of sunset skyboxes and they still fascinate me.
Even with the amount of super creative and fun to use traps, nothing beats final Ravenholm. It's perfectly paced (aside from the weird mine section after saying goodbye to Grigori, which always ruined the pace in my opinion), and using the Gravity Gun to shoot sawblades and other stuff at zombies is just amazing. No wonder they took out so many traps if you get a gun that can do the same, just more efficiently.
"They just kept coming! They came from the front, they came from the sides, they came from the back, they came from everywhere!" RadHaz, 2024
that's what...
Oddly enough there was one iteration of the beta town that had the player using the gravity gun, but bizarrely featured Combine enemies instead of zombies. It was called "phystown" and featured in one of the E3 demos, it's somewhat similar in layout to where the fast zombies are introduced in the final game but the demo footage focused on the player using physics props and traps to block or kill Combine soldiers, such as blocking a door with a washing machine, sending a dumpster crashing into a squad of them, or using the gravity gun to throw a radiator at a soldier and break the vending machine behind him, causing it to spit out dozens of drink cans.
Func fact: the 2002 docks are still in the retail Ravenholm, and you can see it in hammer, the creator of overcharged mod made a video restoring this section of the map
can you send the link please?
The path leading to them from the unused E3 2002 map is in the final, just blocked off, not the docks themselves. That would be a lot of unused geometry.
Funny how everything in City 17 was completely new for the final campaign but Ravenholm and Nova Prospect still use maps made in 2002 in the final version, just modified.
drop the video???
func_fact? Never heard of that entity type.

I'm honestly kind of impressed, sure it could use a bit more polish here and there and it's buggy in a few places, but this is a pretty detail oriented recreation. Those traps look really cool, I love the idea of an extended Ravenholm based on leaked maps and old concepts and overall it looks pretty well put together. Plus it's cool as hell to see people still making mods for the HL2 beta. Good shit.
from child labor to dead child, this is truly the #bayduh experience
"You should've never come here!"
a dark and gritty valentine's day radhaz, you owe me a date in Air Exchange... and a free tv.
Oh yeah we're getting frisky in the Air Exchange tonight
Yeah, another one from my recommendation! 😎
Great video brother, very dark and gritty! 👌
😎
NO BIT---i mean, NO TOWN???
that skill issue is real dank and griddy moment
Once again dark and gritty
The town mod looks glorious! Tho I will say... The unlimited barrage of fast zombies is kind of a lame way to add artificial difficulty... Cheap move, but otherwise, I like what this mod looks.
I'd also argue that "skill issue" is more of "atrocious balance issue". Fight me, comments.
Guys make sure to read the description, he makes sure to tell us he is yapping today. You have been warned
You know, really is amazing how Ravenholm can just spawn in residents whenever it wants. Gives Father Grigori someone to talk to.
Anything that focuses on Ravenholm/Zombie Town of Half-Life 2, always catches my attention. It's always a must play.
Fast Zombies getting stuck on the pipes, might be related to the unfinished AI of Leak Engine provides
I advise to all that if you're willing to play or make a mod in Leak Engine, EXPECT ANY NPC AI BUGS!
We're reaching Dark and Griddy levels that shouldn't even be possible
One day I will play HL2. Loving seeing all the lore / oddities / leaks / extras though :)
Skill solution!, because Radhaz really played the mod I suggested to him!
Happy Valentine's RadHaz!
You know, about Ravenholm I really wish there was a mod like Episode 4 that might explore more of Ravenholm as a sort of Expansion Pack. Especially if it can reuse beta concepts and ideas, and use it's own spins because some of these unused ideas might actually fit Ravenholm's aesthetic. If I were to create a Ravenholm mod I'd try adding things like unique zombie variants, extended areas of the original maps, revisiting the Docks and maybe even a good visit to Ravenholm's Church. Albeit these are just my ideas but I absolutely love all of the details Ravenholm brings in retail and beta form whether or not they were unused.
Your struggle with the finale is a major skill issue
😡😡😡😡😡
Another dark and griddy video let's gooooooooooo
Im not sure what exactly it is, but your scripting in this video is a little more fun and playful vocabulary and joke wise than your other videos and I really like it! great job, if intentional or not haha
Hey dude, just wanted to say - love your content and your music is incredible. Keep it up you legend
A HL2 beta video on Valentine's day? Rad you rascal! you really know how to treat us right 😍
If you take requests, how about covering the cut canals map where you load propane tanks on a barge with a crane, and then ride on it and fight a helicopter before heading off to Ravenholm (based on floating texts)? I’ve always wondered what’s up with that one, since it seems anticlimatic to follow the airboat or jetski with this stuff. It makes me think it might have been some experimental timecrunch replacement for the airboat section, since Valve was behind schedule in releasing the game for that September 30th date.
i have a love hate relationship with the original map so this just sets my teeth on edge, with all the infinitely spawning zombies.
extra dork and creepy is always good, in valentine's too! Thanks Radhaz and happy Valentine's! 🌹
A new video for valentines yayyy
This map is literally the darkest and griddiest yet 😔😔😔 I'm actually griddi-ing all over the place rn
DARK AND GRITTY!!! *Pic of spongebob screaming at squidward*
WE ARE MILKING HALF LIFE BETA MODS WITH THIS ONE🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🥛🥛
HELL YEAH
Ravenholm is so dark and griddy, even in retail
Thank you for your work.
This mod looks great. Several years ago I was working on a remake of the Quarrytown for the Die Shwarze Nebel mod but the team disbanded (unsurprisingly). Still have map files on me
HAHA... DEAD CHILDREN.. Valve, you comedic geniuses!
Children😨
SkIlL iSsUe hAhAhAhAhA
For me there was much less fast zombies I had to deal with. At the end when Grigori was lowering the tram cart thing to get me to the church, they did come to get me, but none of them got onto the building before I was already in the tram. Once they all started swarming the top it was funny seeing them all jumping onto the electric fence and dying, as they couldn't get me there.
Beta Grigori sounds like the hobo in Jazzpunk
Mysterious.
10:25 gaming professionalism problem
:(
Hi, i really love your videos as a big Half Life fan. I also like the choice of background musics in your videos. May i ask which genre of music they are under or where can i find more of them (Maybe a playlist)?
Hello! From my knowledge, all Resident Evil and Silent Hill games have these sorts of tracks in them. Especially their Save Themes. I think the genre would be "ambient".
it is a problem of interface between keyboard and chair :)
keep it up man i love it
We're so back
Man, I love this renaissance of Half life 2 Beta stuff... I can't wait for Halo 2 to get the same treatment.
Watching my favorite gritty man to blow off some steam after playing clash royale
you could say this is dark and gritty ravenholm mod
skill solution
A very griddy Valentine’s Day today
one thing I do wish we still had was the cool traps
If this mod is out. Then why don't someone make the mod for the weather control too? The weather control is the location that never got past the concept art. ^^.
probably because there's less to build on
With the Air Exchange mod and the City 17 mod, and this mod, we're eventually going to get a full HL2 beta mod.
hl2 beta is very dark n griddy, i love it :>>
Will make Pyrocyncial gassy green air mod
I’m sorry, a gonarch’s what?!! 😂😂😂😂😂
ha ha! dangly bits.
RadHaz experience Ninja Dark and Gritty moment at 10:10 🤣
That was EPIC ✅✊
@@manecronik Backshots Dark`n`Gritty edition
This version of Ravenholm looks like its form the medieval times
at least the screenshots from the original beta
skill good
THE GOOD ENDING
That's a mid worth playing! By the way, did you find an Ichthyosaur in the lake in the first map?
The pants were dead and the dirt was messy and bloody from headcrabs
when the beta is dark and griddy
WILL YOU BE THE GRITTY TO MY DARK?
I love the part when redballsack said “is redgrazzing time” and rizzed all over the place 😂😂😂😂🤤🤤
😩😩😩😩
Are you half-life? Because i love you baby
Ravenholm spawns infinite amounts of zombies from dark alleys
8:22 what a madman, LMAO.
This looks great!
but if its a town that isnt a town how its a town??
Half life 2 betha was very dark and griddy
(Edit: no I won't be your valentine Radiation hazard)
Nutatas
8:25 I see the Editor, who is probably Rad, is bullying Rad.
Ah yes, ded kid, can't get more dark and gritty than that
more like pale and squishy
wouldn't it have been more of a tiny skeleton, or was this when they still planned to have kids in it
"SkIlL iSsUe"
balls
skill hazard
i think it might be fucked up if i wanted to see if that dead child under the bed is actually there
Good job to the modder
the return of waltuh wite
someone needs to port every beta mod to retail
10:06 Oh God it's like Dark Carnival all over again...
10:15 _Ooohhh I see what's going on here... I think I was right about what they were going for..._
I don't think that was a skill issue, I'd rather say that was the horrors.
Ravenholm beta was used for the 2d half life game
My valentine is a 12 gauge
9:30 Yeah someone probably just screwed up the spawn rate... And maybe some of the map given how many Fast Zombies seemed to have gotten stuck up there.
Me when I see the corpse of a child under a bed (It's a half life 2 beta reference)
:O
skull issue 💀
ET TU RED?!
@@RadiationHazardYT What? Lmaoo
DREAM COME TRUE!!!
"A skill issue comment"
I don't get it. What's a "dlihc daed"?
9:50 Or, maybe the spawning last map and in this one was actually supposed to be a Crescendo Event or Panic Event like in Left 4 Dead... Also, speaking of Left 4 Dead I _hate_ that one in Chapter 4 of Dark Carnival, you probably know _exactly_ what I am talking about.
