this is the most fu**ed up level in this game and is the most suspensful

anyone have any creepy or surprising stories in that level?

Setting the zombie on fire that's sitting in the cage in the room next to the flaming zombie tree.

*shudder*

Seeing the skinned corpses on the flaming spikes.

I just skip that goddamned level. (usually).

It's unnerving. I hate those leaper zombies.

It's a pointless level too. It does nothing to help advance the story except at the end. And theres no ammo there. Makes me want to bitch-slap Alyx for sending me there. (Then I realise she's a video game character, and that it is impossible to bitch-slap her.)

There is a way to make it a tad bit easier (or more fun) however; before you run off with Dog and Alyx, grab Dog's "ball" and take with with you to Ravenholm. This little roller mine is a very interesting peice of equipment.
Not only can it be used as a weapon, it can distract the zombies. If they're chasing you, you can just punt it to a corner of the room, or one of Father Gregories' traps, and they'll follow it. Also, because it's magnetic, it is attracted to your HEV suit and can "follow" you (except on ledges and ladders) Also, I can be destroyed by explosions, so watch out.

Yes, and Gregorie is an awsome character.

nice info rude boy

When I got to Ravenholm, I was as alert as I would have been if it was real life. You really need to be. The black spider-crabs are frickin' lethal.

tip: with the black headcrabs, the toxin they inject may lower your helth to one at first, but it will slowly regain to 80 after awhile.

This is the best part in the entire game. It brings it to life especially in the church cemetary.

I like the city levels a lot more than Ravenholm.

uummm one time in ravanholm i was trying to jump to one side of a building but i fell and when i hit the ground i didnt lose any health and i notesed that the zombie that was walking around had stopped making grouning sounds and when i looked under me i saw that a landed on a zombie and killed it

i didnt know you could do that and i laughed my ass off but then a zombie ran up behind me and killed me. and then i realised that all the zombies are just acoplle of cheap shotting basterds

dam i hate this level

I live the Ravenholm level. Especially the part when all of those zombies are closing in on you in the alleyway and you hit the swithc and drop the car on them. And chopping them in half with the saw blade with the Gravity Gun.

That level startled me (by which I mean SCARED THE $#!7 OUTTA ME) in a way that Doom can not do...

Plus the black headcrabs pegging me down to 1 health, but THEN a normal headcrab kills me before my health can restore...
