Half-Life 2 Beta Ravenholm

[Auraknight100]

Nice song picks! Fits the mood of Ravenholm quite well, actually!

[TheThas2]

how do i get missing information to work

[TheThas2]

how do i get missing information to work

[deathmerchantto]

This looks like a left 4 dead level

[rehusiika]

The underground at around 1:55 looks similiar to ep2 one tunnel scene.

[xTheHeaterx]

man almost peed myself at 4:14

[greendayfan98967]

wow the zombies looked really good back

then

[PivotWorldGuy]

Things I noticed :

1.G-man

2. Old half-life medkit.

3. Old half-life blood sprites;

[ftpaddict]

The music is incredible.

[Impersitator]

I wondered where that Gman was, I guess it's only in beta then?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Yes.

[Robotboyiscool100]

GM Sighting at 0:33 really creepy

[Weho2]

dayum it had the HL1 flash light system YUCK!!

[theplatnuimfan]

i doubt i top it. i cant play quake live without it lagging more than a hacker with 9534795734897 ping.

i can play hl2 beta tho.

ima go see if i can fix quake livetho

[theplatnuimfan]

well, i can send you a picture of my specs for trying to run retail?

[theplatnuimfan]

crazy, um... my comp sucks. if i meet MINIMAL

i mean half way to recommended, [lol half-way] could i run this?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

You might; the beta has no advanced options for graphics tweaking, so all you can really do if your performance is dropping is turn the resolution down. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to run it though; the beta defiantly isn't the most graphic-intensive thing out there.

[djthemoney]

man im runnig gmod on on a REALY crappy pc so i think it will

work btw i got only 255 mb ram you can top that

[sidneykylebowman1]

I've got a 32 mb Graphics card, which makes my 4 gigs of RAM and 2ghz processor redundant.

[iZenSoda]

@sidneykylebowman1 I feel your pain.

[Broccolixyz]

Can you please explain to me what does pm mean because I really wan't that link. If you happen to need an xfire to do it then please tell me you xfire.

[TheCraziestMonkey]

PM=Personal Message

I sent you a link. Check your inbox.

[Broccolixyz]

Thank you very much.

[ffalsa]

at 3:37 why were you zooming?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

I was quickly showcasing what appears to be a vehicle of some sort. I would imagine that it was originally going to be used to dig through the caves, but when you get in it, you can't move or exit the vehicle (which is why I didn't bother with it).

[ffalsa]

ok^^

[Android991]

What name of the first music??

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Try reading the description.

[keshaz12]

thenks god its only beta

[sometallgit]

Wow this must have been an early build. The medkits are the same as the half life 1 medkits and so is the torch.

[AttilaBG]

what's the name of the song?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Try reading the description.

[vidzmod]

did the map just change by itself or did you change it?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

I changed it, but I believe maps should transition normally(considering you can get to the loading screen).

[Thraxxacor]

the zombies look way better... theyve atually got the denim jackets that they should, apposed to the random clean white teeshirts they have in the real game,

[vidzmod]

they did that because some citizens have white shirts in the retail

[Thraxxacor]

but not all of em... it'd be fine with me if the shirts were completely filth'd up and raggy, but theyre nice and clean white where there isnt a splash of yellow blood.

[vidzmod]

yeah there should be different clothed zombies because there are blue shirted citizens too

[rluix]

dont you think that the blue cloths are taken off when those bones get off theyr bodieS?

[vidzmod]

what? what bones?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Notice that the zombies appear to lack most of their bone structure around the abdominal area of the body. I believe that's what he's talking about.

[rluix]

yes, it is indeed

[Thraxxacor]

theres a hole in their chest right under the ribcage, if youve noticed... they have no digestive organs

[vidzmod]

probably.

[Gecko954]

i like the beta zombie textures more too mate.

[JSxKnifer]

Scientists.

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Unless you can prove that, I believe they were just regular old citizens turned into zombies.

[JSxKnifer]

Half Life 1

[TheCraziestMonkey]

They were wearing lab coats. The zombies in Half-Life 2 are just wearing white t-shirts.

[halo676]

hey on d1_town_03(i think) father grigori is weaponless and completely ignores me. is this normal?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

As normal as the beta will allow.

[halo676]

hey JS i doubt you even know what ur talking about

[slackingstacker]

@JSxKnifer You're fucking stupid. This isn't hl1, it's the beta version of hl2.

[IggyHazard]

If only there was a mod for the weapons that made them aimable with proper sights. Some of the weapons, like the pulse rifle, would have to be given proper open sights before that would be feasible.

[Thraxxacor]

i agree... there are hardly any games that actually use the sights on the weapons... enemy territory quake wars and bad company are all i can think of.

[IggyHazard]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Crysis, and the Call of Duty games to name a few.

[Gunner193]

If it wasn't only a test, I'd say this guy was a noob. Really interesting!

[halo676]

is father grigori in the beta?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Yes.

[halo676]

does he look any diffrent from his final version?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Not really. It should be noted, however, that his voice does sound like that of a pirate in the beta.

[halo676]

could u post a vid of him?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Seeing as I don't have the beta anymore, no.

[meetyourdeth94987]

no, well at least i didnt see him.

[spencerska]

dude that maps in hl2 ep2 isnt it?.

[TheCraziestMonkey]

No, but there is a revised version of the 2nd map in the retail HL2.

[FlotsamX]

So, this was the "controversial beta" that everyone was talking about back then? Looks terrible compared to the final result. Is it possible to port the zombie NPCs from this version into Gmod? That would rock, more headcrab zombie NPCs.

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Alot of the beta ideas were better than the retail ones.

It wouldn't matter. The beta zombies and the retail ones behave exactly the same.

[CERNOBE]

Oh man, you are truely the CRAZIEST Monkey!

[valvepwns]

whats up with the purple-black square tiles? is that unfinished floor type or sumtin?

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Missing textures.

[GrimDay2]

mna at 00:40 that wall is an unfinished wall or it'sa part of the house that is wrecked??

[TheCraziestMonkey]

It think it's part of the wrecked house.

[benneb07]

lol that is a result of an unfinished map i know because i make maps and i dont think that ANYONE would put that in there map and say its a part of the hose that has been broken

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Honestly, I didn't look at the wall at 00:40 when I made the previous comment :)

Now that I look at it, however, that is definitely an unfinished wall.

[benneb07]

no probs ^^

[AshHousewares445]

Great job! They should've kept these zombies in the full release of HL2. I make HL2 videos as well. Check 'em out if you'd like :).

[jygii]

could someone tell me where i can download the beta? :S

[TheCraziestMonkey]

google it.

[awesomesavesworld]

Great choice of music, wonderful really...

I really want to try out the beta, do you happen to know where I could download it?

[tandis97]

ravenholm

[canonblast24]

what is this map called???

[halo676]

can you record a vid of the map with the beta version of father grigori? (if there is one)

[doomedtofrag]

Great work man!!! Also, nice song selection, I really like ambient music...

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Much obliged.

[clattybrown]

very good

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Thanks my friend.

[jeneiszabolcs]

nicely done! (without HUD woot) :DD

[TheCraziestMonkey]

Yes, down with the HUD! Thanks for the comment.
