Does anyone have a feeling that the gun we take out in the lost coast level was shelling Ravenholm? Not saying that Lost Coast is canon or anything. Rather I'm saying that in the game we'd have disabled the gun before reaching Ravenholm. And Ravenholm was still destroyed in the end however.

 

[Apocalypse89]

No, seeing how the gun was shelling St. Olga, which has no relation to Ravenholm.

Besides, it's heavily implied that Ravenholm had been abandoned for, at the very least, a few months.

 

[kupocake]

Ravenholm was shelled by a similar gun. Just not the exact one you see in Lost Coast, which may take place in many hundreds of miles from City 17 for all we know.

St. Olga was the name of the church. Or did I misunderstood something? I was too busy looking at shin rocks, pretty water effects and HDR effects.

The fisherman would hardly comment about you being in St. Olga's Church while you were on the beach.

Sooooooooo your saying that Grigori has been camping out in RavenHolm with his shutgun, shooting zombies without magicly running out af ammo, for MONTHS???? From the way I understood it RavenHolm was bombed in the last 2-3 days at least.

I think it took quite some time to build all those traps, etc. He has learned the nature of the zombies, he has tried to save some pepole, he has made a fort out of the church and he has gone crazy. I would say that he has been there for a month or two. And remember that the passage from Balck Mesa East to Ravenholm didn´t seem to been used for quite a wile.

 

[Apocalypse89]

Well, considering the abundance of ammo crates around Ravenholm, I wouldn't doubt that a huge weapons stockpile(probably for the rebels) existed there, and is still nowhere near depleted.

Besides, the general mood and presentation of Ravenholm strikes me as a place that has been 'dead' for a long time.

"Ravenholm was to be a sanctuary gone bad, a place where the player discovered instead that they had become enemies. The challenge was to build an isolated town, remote enough to have escaped Combine notice for a while, but which still seemed to inhabit the same world as City 17" - Dario Casali, Raising the Bar

Those aren't unused, I've heard them ingame.

I'm almost certain that the first two (identical probably different timings) aren't. I assume the last is used when you approach the passage.

Alyx's lines in-game are "That's the old passage to Ravenholm... we don't go there anymore" (or similar). No details about its history are given.

 

[Apocalypse89]

I remember Alyx saying those lines about the escapees from City 17 in-game to me before.

You have to walk right up to the Ravenholm door after Alyx mentions the tunnel.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that she does use those lines.

 

[Sulkdodds]

She does if you persue that 'line of inquiry' (by running up to the door, since you're mute) - the lines are context-sensitive.

Ravenholm has been the way it is for months now, as can be inferred from Gregori's madness, the totally run-down state of the town already, the multiple traps (that must have taken ages to set up), the condition of the tunnel entrance to Ravenholm and the way everybody talks about it in the waaaay past tense.

 

[DoctorWeeTodd]

You know I was under the impression Ravenholm had been zombified for years.

Don't be silly. Gregori didn't set up any traps
