Mine's "We don't go to Ravenholm",Sandtraps and Anti-citizen One.
What's yours?
 
I think I've played it too many times to have a favourite level. Often I find that knowing what is going to happen just makes me a bit bored if the level contains a sequence which I find hard or tedious. It doesn't seem to happen as much as other games though. I'd think all of it is my favourite level. Possibly one of the Organic Gravity Gun levels. They're fun, easy to whizz through.

Think I'm a bit impatient sometimes.

Other than that, having the Antlions on your side can be aload of fun. At the start of Nova Prospekt, I often only remember the harder bits of the level thus wouldn't have said it was one of my favourite levels, but thinking about it, every time I play it through, I really enjoy it.
Dislike the end of Ravenholm, with the mine. Just too many headcrabs.

Duh. Lost Coast.

When I wrote Lowlife and well, wrote some extra information how I like it... the first word was Love. Well change it with "Low". What do you get?

Lovelife. I bet this would refer to the darkness and Alyx. :naughty:
 
Riding Shotgun is definitely the best Episode 2 chapter, and stands up well against both games as the 'finest'.

Highway 17, for the atmospherics, but Nova Prospekt for the action.
And Route Kanal, for the kicking CP butt.

Driving about in episode 2, the reactor level of episode 1, nova prospeckt with all the loyal antlion minions bwahahaha, and anywhere I got a good hunter fight.
 
I wasn't a great fan of Ravenholm... Sure, the first time you play it you are under a lot of suspense, but when you play it without fear, it's pretty unremarkable. It's too claustrophobic, the buildings are blocky and square, indoors all look the same. I didn't mind the low ammo, but manouvering things with the gravity gun in such small spaces really sucked. There was no aspect to those levels that made me go 'wow' regarding visuals.

For me, in HL2 the prison levels and the railway bridge were just jaw dropping.

But I think the very best level is the opening of Episode One. The visual effects and the grandeur of the Citadel are the best I've seen yet.

Oh my god, I totally forgot that level!.

The bridge was awesome. :)


I loved the reactor in episode 1, compared to the rest of combine aesthetics, the reactor chamber was downright beautiful.
 
All of them as well. But if i was hard pressed, i'd say
