Neat Point in Ravenholm Vid

[Cone-Zone]

I dont know if anyone else noticed this, but when gordon is fighting the first zombie in ravenholm, right as he his dragging the wood block im 80% sure that the man under the headcrab said
"GET IT OFF ME" in a mumble, scream, kind of voice.

Please check if im right, i only looked for it 3 times

 

[^Ben]

Dunno can't really hear it.

But i swear i do hear speaking in another point of the video.

 

[Absinthe]

They mumble/scream a lot of things, but I can only catch snippets here and there.

I'm not sure if I should feel sorry about killing them or be happy that I'm putting them out of their misery. It would sound to me as if the human is still conscious, despite being zombified.

 

[Heatseeker]

i don't really hear anything aside from typical zombie noises.

i don't really hear anything aside from typical zombie noises.

Even you have to admit that the zombies in HL and the zombies in HL2 sound significantly different.

 

[Rossell]

He actually says "Let go of it" referring to the wood block.

 

[Cone-Zone]

Try wearing headphones and turning the volume up a few notches
I didnt think much of it in HL1, but now i want to put them out of their misery when i set them on fire and they scream OH GOD OH GOD (you know thats what he says, right?

Edit: After listening to it a few more times louder, its still kind of hard to understand, he could be saying let go of it, but i doubt the zombie with no motor skills could know that youre going to kill him with it. Mabye "LET GO OF ME" is just a random saying of a man under a headcrab, i bet they have a small small sense of whats going on and they feal the pain, and they die from gordon

 

[Atomi]

The scream the zombie makes when on fire is nice

 

[Harryz]

Also, when the zombies are dead and the headcrab comes off - you can see the face of the victim that the headcrab took over. I thought that was pretty cool.

 

[poseyjmac]

poor guys who got headcrabbed.. wonder what alyx's screams would sound like with a headcrab on her face

 

[Cone-Zone]

face

She probally screams OH GOD OH GOD, and then 100 nerds would take that and plaster her face onto a porn vid with that audio going on

 

[^Ben]

See i can sort of hear the structure of "put it down"

 

[Heatseeker]

Even you have to admit that the zombies in HL and the zombies in HL2 sound significantly different.

uh, i didn't say i was comparing it to hl1. anyway, i listen to it again and he does say "let go of it".

 

[Absinthe]

The new headcrab-less zombie corpses look different from the original ones in the alpha. I can't get a good look at the current ones in the Ravenholm bink, but I recall the old ones looking pretty damn twisted.

 

[poseyjmac]

i think hes saying 'break it down' cuz he just wants to dance. but mean ol gordon freeman had to kill him

 

[Absinthe]

uh, i didn't say i was comparing it to hl1. anyway, i listen to it again and he does say "let go of it".

My mistake. When you said "typical zombie noises" I thought you were referring to the original HL ones.

 

[azz0r]

Anyone else notice the sheet of metal behind him disapears and reapears when you move?

 

[^Ben]

Yeh i noticed that after like the 9th time watching it, looks like valve got a little aggresive with the LOD system.

 

[Octavian]

So I watched the video again just to listen to zombies.

I don't think I'll have the heart to set them on fire with all that screaming. Wonder if you can shoot a Headcrab /off/ its zombie. Course it would still probably kill the host, but it's interesting.

 

[Varsity]

It sounds to me like the hosts are semi-aware of what is happening to their bodies, but completely out of control. Not a nice situation to be in.

 

[Octavian]

Makes me just want to gib them so they won't scream in agony as they burn to death.

 

[She]

i don't really hear anything aside from typical zombie noises.

one of them says... it burns ( when on fire )

 

[evil^milk]

Did anyone else notice the shaders they put on the crowbar and hands? I like how the crowbar looks, but the hands look a bit glossy

 

[azz0r]

I can clearly hear the zombies speaking.

 

[bate18]

is there any way to rewind or fastforward or pause when watching the binks?

 

[Lobster]

When the player leaves the first area (and sees the first rotor blade, the start of the new footage) you can hear one of them groaning, "God Oh God", and then it seems painfull for them to do anything, its pretty freaky.

And how about the music playing behind the wall when he picks up the spanner, that sounded odd but cool at the time!

 

[Beast206]

To set all of your minds at ease... if I should ever get attacked by a headcrab, or any other face hugging parasite.. PLEASE light me on fire/shoot me/crowbar me to the deck. Trust me, if you don't, I will.

 

[azz0r]

Things I noticed;


In comparison to CS; you barely have arms (no arms on the model bar extreme cases with the crowbar)

The headcrab has recieved a make over, now has dents on the front of it

The metal sheet disapears and reappears

The minipulator is alot stronger nowerdays, it dragged a crate close pretty quick.

 

[^Ben]

I also noticed there was a random piece of wood that popped out of the floor(i think)

OMG IM NITPICKING!!!!!

 

[CombineHarvester]

Cool video, but does anyone think that the brightness is far too high? I remember the non-Bink being much darker. Admittedly this could be because of poor lighting condition when it was being filmed, but I personally thought it was much cooler and scarier. Right now everything seemd slightly wshed out and bright in comparison!

It's the scream they make when they're on fire that gets me.

 

[Beast206]

It's the scream they make when they're on fire that gets me.

Yeah, but I like that. It introduces actual emotions into the gameplay rather than just "damn, ANOTHER zombie!" *pow* Anything that makes you react to the situation is cool.

Tell you what Im in a proactive mood. I will do it out of kindness BEFORE it happens. I mean you wouldnt want your family to see you like that (headcrab and all).

 

[Beast206]

Feel free to try.. I'll give you a 1200 yard headstart.

Besides, if that happened you can bet your ass my family WOULD perform the Mozambique drill pretty fast, hehe.

 

[theGreenBunny]

Well, I'm not sure what they're saying but...

IT ****ING FREAKS ME OUT AAAAAAAARGH.

*ahem* Yes. They scare my pants off, I r sisseh. I'm either going to turn my sound lower or never set them on fire and kill em as quickly as possible. Which may or may not lead to the following situation.

Zombie: "HUAARARGRHAGRGHDEATHPAINHORROR"
Me: "AAAGH SHUT UP SHUT UP JUST SHUT UP" *empties his gun twice, and again on the dead(er) corpse*

 

[Beast206]

Exactly, I don't particularly like hearing them moan in agony.. so I'm going to drop them fast. Then I'll kill some combine scum for pleasure.

 

[Aknot]

Yeah now Im damned if I do and damned if I dont. A headcrab family said the same thing......

 

[Beast206]

hehe.... just join me in killng the nazi like oppressive combine scum!

 

[poseyjmac]

is there any way to rewind or fastforward or pause when watching the binks?

yeah. ???

 

[Aknot]

hehe.... just join me in killng the nazi like oppressive combine scum!

Hey did you ever think they were on to something. MAYBE they are trying to help yet everyone that is left doesnt want to "move" to safer places so 17 is the best and the combine is just giving some "tough" love...... It could happen, we were wrong about the aliens in the first HL.......
