The best part of the game, because it made me think about the hero’s loneliness, on his journey.

A legendary scene of half life 2, somewhere frozen in time...train horns at the background, what an ambience...

This atmosphere shows you how empty the world has become after the Combine took over, an abandoned world.

This part of the game traversing under the bridge along the Coast, hearing the train running along the tracks and then it hits you the loneliness and emptiness that extends across the moment, that you are essentially traversing ruins of mankind, not yet receding into obscurity, but the beginning.

The entire Coast trek part of HL2 really has some of the best atmosphere in the game to me, great vistas and locations and unlike Ravenholm where its ravaged by Infestation, the Coast is abandoned, its a wild zone in which the Earth is seizing slowly the infrastructure we built upon it, and the effects of the Combine's harvesting of humanity's resources as well as a place of rebirth for the Xen creatures. Its cyclical, we fade away and nature takes its course. In the end when humanity does puff out, we won't be remembered, just join in the cycle of life. I dunno why that occured to me during that trek across the bridge, but it did.

In a sad, lost, and broken society that once was our world.

I love this level. When u walk underneath the bridge and hear train passing by above. Houses in the fog. Lost and forgotten world, same as u lost and forgotten in that world. Reminds me of SH2 somehow.

this is why I don't agree with all the people saying that we should have gotten the beta aesthetics. The release aesthetics of HL2 were similar enough to the real world but strange and mutilated to a point where it was an actually convincing image of Earth after a successful mass genocide. The environment design was essentially the normal world but drained of life and scattered with images of foreign technology and environmental indications of disaster. It was characterized by its uncanny valley effect which I know the beta would not have pulled off, being so dark and 80's sci fi.

it saddens me that this atmosphere will never truly be recreated again. Half Life 2 was the only one that could pull it off. hopefully i'm wrong

blessthismessss

I sometimes wonder if our world will ever become like this.

0 Dislikes. Well-Deserved. This part of the game really brings an unnatural feeling. It perfectly summarizes the entire atmosphere of HL-2 at its finest. An extinction like no other. The world looks like there was no alien world invasion at all. The bridge stands, the trains are still running, green grass, blue water, birds. But the life is slowly disappearing. Like the water under the bridge.

Masterclass among videogames and sci-fi culture.

The coast line maps are of my favorite

I've never actually listened to Lab Practicum outside of when it was used in HL2 or a custom map, and I to say that while I'm enjoying it I keep finding myself straining to hear the train horn.
