  • 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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
