In addiditon to the Ravenholm cityscape area, there is also an underground mine area you're required to pass through mid-way through finishing Ravenholm completely. Populated by every variety of headcrab, and dark. Hardly any zombies, but the Poison headcrab mixed in the same area with the normal headcrabs and fast headcrabs proves to be an albeit frightening and strenuous endeavor. Also, one of the first rooms you enter is filled with a variety of headcrabs. Not cool.
On the sentence of Grigori (sic?), is it really ever stated he's the only one who survived?
I believe the "other life to save" can either reference his life, or the fact that he keeps talking about "balming" the zombies' "affliction." Longshotz ( talk) 15:35, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone disagree if I say that Ravenholm could eventually be German? I mean, there are only a few possibilities for a German named Pub, and you can read it even in "Concerned" or in your own HL² if you got.
But this seems a little odd... City 17 isn't far away and this is something completely different, for example kyrilic letters (hope this is right but I don't think I spelled well). So, in fact Germany is still not a really popular land eg in USA, so this could mean "all Germans are bad", but I don't actually think so.
btw: I never liked Ravenholm. I like a massive gunfight more than shooting mumbling and hitting Zombies, ya know. -- 89.166.137.123 23:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Definitely an Eastern European setting, throughout the HL2 saga. —Preceding

Ravenholm is possibly based on the Russian city of Voronezh. Raven in Russian is for Ворон (Voron), so the name of Voronezh could be translated in English either as Ravencity or as Ravenholm. -- Rtut 15:37, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
I've added some possible theories as to what might have influenced Valve's creation of Ravenholm. 72.49.117.53dethtoll

the music shifts to horrorMore specificity is needed here; the score for Halloween is not the same as for Scream etc.
Ravenholm was a small mining town that consisted mostly of shabby wooden housesVery close paraphrasing with source
While use of such weapons was relatively rare elsewhere in the game's world, it is possible that the Combine saw it as retribution for resisting them for so long.I'm not sure what this means
Understanding the suggestion to use physics objects as weapons relied on shared knowledge of zombie-based horror instilled by fiction such as The Zombie Survival Guide.Another confusing sentence
Thank you for your patience as I have been dealing with several health issues both physical and mental. Putting on hold now. — Ghost River 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
