Half life 2 - Highway 17 (music)

[gintamadep]

i'm on the highhhhhhhh wayyyyyyy to helllllllllll

[deekante]

Half Life 2 is one of those games with a soundtrack that perfectly fits. Hearing this, with the waves rolling up on a coast littered with scorched cars and ruined cottages, is way creepier and more disturbing than a game like Dead Space.

[88deathguy]

They see me rollin, they hatin

[tonihomi]

The House on the coast...patrolling Soldiers...this music....awesome!

[Specoups]

I can't understand why a house controled by combines is infected by SOME FUCKING POISON HEADCRABS AND THEIR FUCKING VICTIM !

Sorry, I just realize dat this moment is really the fucking scariest one in all the game. T_T

[MegaNexusGaming]

This game is very powerful, Its Gameplay, storyline, very strong Structure, Gordon Freeman is yet the best character created, Ravenholm is something everyone would remember if they played the game, those who havent played this game should get a crowbar to the face...

[7dmtuk87]

Ravenholm still scares me....

[88deathguy]

When I saw that dropship taking away from the car, I thought:

NIGGAS STOLE MAH CAR

[Cactusman96]

But they STOLE our car!!!! :(

[byerscm]

@Cactusman96 lol

[ToastedEgg89]

This plays in the chapter 'Sandtraps' shortly after you leave the zombie infested tunnel and come across a house with some combine outside and a lot of charred corpses.

[Blasphemisaurusaoe3]

I don't remember the part where the combine soldiers are burning resistance corpses. Is it in the beta?

[Aussie50]

@Blasphemisaurusaoe3 there is a part where you come across a old house on the sea side, there are several burned corpses in a fire pit. a few combine and one of their APC's are there, so its pretty easy to imagine what they were doing earlier.

[ishallkillall]

@Blasphemisaurusaoe3 there is no footage of them burning it, but there are charred bodies which sow the cremators are in the game just u cant find or see them

[Blasphemisaurusaoe3]

@Blasphemisaurusaoe3 In which part of the level do you find them?

[necromorphassasin]

@Blasphemisaurusaoe3 i know, its near the begining of sandtraps after you exit the horrible tunnel full of headcrabs.

[Y34HT045T]

There was only one part of Half-Life 2 that truly scared me. On Highway 17, I came across a large house overlooking a cliff and, per Freeman tradition, entered and began to explore. Inside I found several health kits, suit power cells, and every kind of ammo in the game. Then I heard a squeaking sound somewhere behind me. I turned around and shot a poison headcrab. Then I nearly shat myself as a poison zombie lumbered into view. I barreled out of the nearest window as fast as I could.

[GordonFreemanForever]

The most powerful part in the highway part was the house on the edge of the road with couple of rollermines inside, and combine burning former inhabitants of that house just outside...

I just lost the last bits of empathy for the combine,all i could feel was irresistible rage

[FancifulHarpist]

Open a new tab, listen to both this and "Apprehension and Evasion" from the same OST at the same time. Eargasm.

[7BillionAndDying]

@FancifulHarpist holy shit, so awesome

[Billybob98Vids]

@FancifulHarpist Whoah Trippy.

[tehYoshinator]

The part that got me the most in Highway 17.. was the tire swing next to one of the Combine-occupied houses.

[KSCIAA]

Highway 17 is by far my most favorite part of the game. After all the hustle of surviving Ravenholm you are now presented with a desolate road where there are hardly any places to find refuge in, and the places you do find you see the corpses of Resistance members at the feet of Combine soldiers.

It truly made me feel I was all alone. Almost hopeless.

[Ismailikov]

this is the perfect music for the HL2 Beta. Dark, mysterious, tense. I'm glad MI used it for their trailer

[Lahnapihvi]

This plays on the house where combines are burning resistance member corpses.

The horrors of war.

[ZeroPhoenix7497]

@TJD248

maybe because without his glasses he can't see, right?

:D

[TJD248]

what i wonder about Gordon Freeman is WHY THE HELL IS HE WEARING GLASSES WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITES YOU WILL LOSE THEM!

[TheStonedpope]

@TJD248 he is so awesome that his glasses are always on

[canertwo]

just before those hoppermines ambush you

damn hoppermines!

[0332288]

@canertwo you mean rollermines, right? The balls to roll towards you and zap you? The Hoppermines appear when you return to City 17, those things that hop towards you and explode when you get too close.

[canertwo]

@0332288

ah yes, the rollermines, forgot about the cut hoppermines from beta xD

[solidfreak123]

This sounds sad, it makes me think about what happend to Ravenholm. How it once was a peaceful town, until the Combine shelled it. Which made it Hell on Earth.

I think i'm going to put this in my mod i'm making, since my mod is Action, Horror. I guess it fits the mood

[amazingcomedy2]

@solidfreak123 What is your mod called?

[solidfreak123]

@amazingcomedy2 It's called Red Star: Source (Red Star is the name of my series I'm writing)

[amazingcomedy2]

@solidfreak123 Thanks!

[YaAkOvXsTYle]

ahh it bring back memories...>---<

[KoronofHearts]

*phew* Finally, outta that zombie hole....

*stopped* Dangit, blocked cars. Stupid tunnel... Oh well, at least there's no more zom- *eaten by fast zombies*

[adrinamorones]

i starded listining to thes soundtracks and noe i want to play the game again after i finished

[MADH1GHLAND3R]

Doesn't this music play when Barney hands you the crowbar?

[trainzack]

@MADH1GHLAND3R no

[AngelOfDeath454]

omg some one please respond! what is the name of the song when just after u get pulse rifle secondary ammo and the guy is hit just bfore u get the car

[nosaholicFi]

@AngelOfDeath454 Triage at Dawn ?

[trainzack]

@AngelOfDeath454 okay, that is after ravenholm and before highway 17, for anyone else who wants to help him, because i cant.

[AngelOfDeath454]

@trainzack nah its ok now someone told me

[trainzack]

@AngelOfDeath454 good. and the [insert adjective here] part is that i found out that it was triage at dawn later that session, but I didnt remember exactly were you posted, so i couldn't tell you. oh well, good thing that someone told you!

[TeamReptileStudios]

@AngelOfDeath454 triage at dawn

[Qtoyghs]

Saddest thing I saw in Highway 17? I saw a crushed blue car with long dried blood on the carpets and seats.

[ieetmelon]

half life > any other game

[trainzack]

@ieetmelon yup. (if you mean hl2. hl looks okay, but pales in compairison to hl2)

[Zant7230]

lmao this isn't highway 17

[LamentOfInnocence1]

I don't know why, but one of the most impactful moments of the entire game for me was when I went off road and found a destitute house with some combine over a fire pit. I dispatched the combine and got out of the car, seeing bodies in the pit that had been ripped apart and burned, the house full of bodies and blood.

[mrlice22]

@LamentOfInnocence1 Where was this? I missed it.

[siriusgamer]

@LamentOfInnocence1 That doesnt sound scary.

[RetardedAndRandomTV]

u guys do realize valve just took the very ending of the dark energy credits song from the game ost and played it over n over to make this track, right?

[CadrinHaverit]

@RetardedAndRandomTV zoh my god, you appear to be right! Brilliant find, chap! :O

[sezani]

im wondering why it's called "Hightway 17" when it plays after the zombie tunel in the chapter "Sandtraps"

[Madnam]

actually, to tell you the truth, I didn't know this WAS music... I just thought it was a distant helicopter or something.

[LtPortal]

@Madnam

Me too o.O

[meh23p]

@Madnam Half-Life 2 MAKES distant helicopters musical. <3

[alonalon777]

@Madnam valve sometimes makes soundtracks to look like ambient sound, less work acctually.

[MrHaxman123]

@Madnam Same here lol...

[TheSporelover88]

@Madnam Lol distant helicopter...

[CripChillinz]

I remember on the highway level right after Ravenholm... the emptyness and loneliness... that and the rusting cars.

Powerful stuff

[birdiman1]

It does something to me.. especially the music when you are walking under the bridge..! strange

[Aawsy]

@CripChillinz I KNOW DATS WHY I LUV DIS GAME

[Gazgo2]

@CripChillinz Yeah, it was abit... wierd. From struggling to survive the zombies of ravenhol to a empty road

[bluke225]

@Gazgo2 killing a zombie horde with father grigori is fun dude, Ravenholm is my favorite level of the game

[spark3969]

@CripChillinz You come out the tunnel thinking ravenholm is all over then Ravenholm gets its last laugh with a fkin black headcrab that jumps off the legde then once you think your safe with your ten or so hp you get sniped by a combine and i forgot about the fast zombie :'C. This bit in the level remminds you that it is not over yet :/

[brzi225]

...And another checkpoint...

[R3dp055um]

@CripChillinz

Yeah, I *finally* got to play HL2 recently. I bought the Orange Box on Steam during the Holiday Sale. Six years late, but I finally got around to it, and it is an awesome game. I have played through HL1 at least a dozen times, but there's just no comparison. HL2 is a classic to be remembered forever.

At the moment, however, I am a bit stuck on the big strider battle to save the silo, near the end of Ep2...

[TheSporelover88]

@CripChillinz I agree with you, it reminds you of what the Combine have done to Earth, the rusting cars presenting those who use to travel along the coast before or during the Combine's invasion...powerful.

[thedeathwar]

i don feel anything but donnno y i suddenly like this song

NICE~ 5/5

[Chronicler177]

awesome song
