Correction: The map takes places in Geneva, Switzerland. French is also spoken there, so hey, the intro skit remains valid! Just disregard about me saying that it's France in the video. Thanks!
Greetings! You have made a very good map, congrats! Would you like to make a map that has a IIIrd Reich atmosphere? I have a feeling that this map is already half-way there.
It really goes to show that source is still one of the coolest engines out there. It's so versitile and user friendly it's nuts. Yes, it has drawbacks and is hard to get "an official version" of it, but damn. This really goes to show that source can still throw hands with modern games if modders are up to the task.
City 24 is just one of those maps that despite running on a 2004 game engine, its' look still beats some current and modern engines when it comes to details and lighting
As Impulse player ("Half-Life 2 semi-serius RP server") I can say with 89 people online using their own builds, adding to prop count of the map, and other stuff like combat or some special RP scenarios, map is running really good (Well of course counting with fact that 70 FPS is good). There are few places where you you can drop down to from 80 - 50 FPS to 30 like Victory square and Thruiph street if people spawn their big ass builds. But the map itself runs magicaly good.
The Source engine is almost two decades old, and it's an amazing achievement that such an old, outdated engine can still hold up this well. Source 2 definitely has some graphical and performance benefits over Source 1, but I don't think it'll ever capture the magic of Source 1.
Love this map it has a cool atmosphere also you should make a video about the map called "RP Riverden v1a" its a giant map with a ton to explore and it looks amazing really pushes source to its limits!
It is interesting that athmosphere in the City 17 feels different than the City 24 here. Both in the same era but feels much different. It reflects the ruthlessness of the administrator in charge of this city.
The map is used in impulse/landis half-life 2 roleplay server, I play often and most of the time there are an average of 40-70 people, rarely dropping below 30 players, but it still runs at an average fps of 40-80 even with the amount of players and player places props.
Hiii, I wanted to clarify the optimization issue with 50 or 60 people on it, specifically when impulse used the map in it's rotation. It functioned well, and played really nicely, I didn't have too much lag aside from the area just outside of spawn since a lot of people would congregate and do their own thing in that area. Not to mention a lot of the apartments were loaded, some tunnels, et cetera. Though the server usually averaged about 80 players. It was a blast playing on this map too, I wish more servers used it.
I just had a rad idea. Some machinima combining this and industrial 17 to make a new view on the uprising. Telling a story switching between 24 and 17 would be cool. If you have ever seen the movie "Dunkirk" it would be something like that, except everything is happening as you see it. Idk maybe a few time skips or something. A really cool story of rebels organizing to take down the combine.
There are over 100 cities, by the fandom, some are made for worthy citizens that are represented by loyalty or duty. There is one city that stand out the most:city 1, city 6 and city 24 (I am too lazy to read all of it).
All of that done on the GMod branch of the engine... this map probably pushes its limit, I wouldve believed you if you said that its running on the CSGO branch or even Source2, good job to the mapper(s), you're still proving us what the engine is capable of.
City 24 is just good for the looks and aesthetics, though the preformance on low end computers is a bit bad. It's amazing how an engine this old still handles the amount of what this map had, the community can do anything to keep gmod going. In conclusion i think this is a better version than the v2 map, and it just has the coolest map events (like judgement waiver or some other stuff) that can be activated by players, anyways great video as always, and stay fresh out there.
I checked up on that before writing the script for this video. Titanfall and Apex Legends both use the Source SDK but they've made further changes on the engine itself that it can't be considered stock Source like it is with Gmod.
i actually downloaded the map way before you made this video because there is a server where they roleplay in half life 2 (they constantly change maps) and they used this map so thats how i found it
One of the best maps for Gmod, it perfectly shows what Source is capable of, despite it being very old. The map is also great because feels different than other HL2 Rp maps and I really like the feel of the map. City 24 always gives me Third Reich vibes.
This map in particular has a very authentic look, because the architecture captures Europe (and especially Switzerland in this case) really good. I really, really like that. From what you showed, it really looks retail quality because of all the little details and the atmosphere of the light. It's just that good. I also agree, the banners add to the feeling of oppression - maybe that's just me - because they remind me of the nazi-banners from the WWII era.
In regards to optimization, I wonder if the bells and whistles (models?) would probably be fine if it's only rendering what the player can see? I forget what it's called in hammer, like draw distance but more refined for viewpoint? Kind of thing that may be no problem for a studio but would be ridiculously time consuming for a single person... Haven't played it yet but I'd bet Atle has already used more null textures than valve did in the original C17 😎
I started the video like "why are they subtit... wait ?! is this french ?" first time I see a french voice on a rp map ! :o It looks very impressive probably one of the most detailed map with rp_industrial / rp_city8 , I will have a look on it ! For the architecture I think we find a lot of "Art deco" which is also an old architecture design we can find in Europe Good video :)
This map is incredible, but I'll be honest, I'm not too sold on the Nazi-esque aesthetic of stripped neoclassical and red-white-black flags the combine have been given here, it doesn't seem to fit them. In HL2, they're much more aloof and ascetic, only making token gestures towards broad, detached messaging while invading human ornamentation with inhumanly utilitarian structures. Its a character that doesn't suit the highly emotionally informed visuals the Nazis went for.
Hey rad. Im asking if you can do a video about CBM. CBM is a hl alyx TH-camr that explains the npcs. CBM than vanished and his fans are worried. He isn't active on TH-cam nor discord.
City-24 Atleast got to be my least but most favorite map collection Still kinda shit since other Iterations but this has gonna be the best version compare to city-24_v4 that removed alot of things from v3 City-24_V2 and City-24_v1 Theirselfs atleast has it's own legacy through out the other Iterations

I didn't know that
they used i think in the intro, the first black mesa intro music
edit 1: all of the black mesa inbound music, and part of the xen ost
Switzerland has four languages according to their linguistical zones : German, French, Italian, Romansh
Question, the part of the intro where French is spoken, where did you get it from?
Tally-ho, map maker here! Really glad you like the map, I enjoyed watching the review and thank you for the kind words!
Absolutely based. Once again, great work! And thank you so much for watching!
The map is awesome, you did a pretty good job. I can't wait to see it running on the Spanish server.
Greetings! You have made a very good map, congrats!
Would you like to make a map that has a IIIrd Reich atmosphere?
I have a feeling that this map is already half-way there.
just know this atle your map is used by a roleplay half life 2 so i guess your map is that good, although laggy but cool
optimize it ffs actual powerpoint slideshow on a heavy pc

It's absolutely mind boggling to see everything accomplished with the Source engine

If it still holds up then it's not 'outdated'.
@@FlyboyHelosim It's outdated in other regards. Don't need to be a smartass about it.
@@FlyboyHelosim Yes it is outdated smartass, look at source 2 and tell me if source 1 can do what it does.
Love this map it has a cool atmosphere also you should make a video about the map called "RP Riverden v1a" its a giant map with a ton to explore and it looks amazing really pushes source to its limits!
I wish someone made a full mod about this place
If you heard of City 34, RadHaz check it out. It's not the most amazing map but it is, good.
Willard Networks is actually Atle's Hl2rp server, City 24 had previous versions too, every map he did and participated in are always stunning
7:36 it would be better if it were absolutely among us halls
well i didn't expect to hear my native language at the start, amazing video!
This map looks insanely good. I'm surprised this could even be done in Source.
Another RadHaz vid, time to get my chocolate milk and graham crackers.
This dude, knows how to chill.
The Map got some Dishonored game vibe in it
yep, the first game's Overseer HQ and slums
Holy crap going to download RIGHT NOW just from the opening.
It's nice seeing Radiation Hazard doing vids like this. Keep going! You're doing great!
I can hear the people saying they dream about cheese already
i've been in awe of this map for a long time, so glad to see some recognition

What a truly gorgeous map.
Good video Radiation Hazard
As a citizen of city 24 i can say life here is literally just like orwells book 1984
Dark and gritty TM
Didn't know this map was set in France
Learnt something today lol
This somehow gives off the vibe of the HL2 beta
This looks absolutely stunning!

@Hazardous Environments it's actually not that bad on servers. the only thing needed is a good computer
Have you ever played Titanfall 2? That game actually runs on the source engine, and it looks amazing everywhere, even more than this map.

@@RadiationHazardYT interesting
@@AbsoluteRedemption27 It's heavily modified, I wouldn't necessarily call it source. But still a cool piece of engineering.
Calling Titanfall source is like calling Quake Half-life
@@gae_wead_dad_6914 you mean that as TitanFall 2 being tecnically inferior to half-life 2? lol
It’s amazing to me that source 1 still looks pretty good by today’s standards.
My milsim group had an awesome event on this map. I miss it so much.
1:10
Titanfall 2
Black Mesa
Dear Esther
I play this map on impulse hl2rp, with 80 players its not that laggy but occasional stutters
Maps like this makes me think an MMORPG or a coop game similar to the payday series in the half life universe would be awesome
My computer would probably blow up trying to run this map
i actually downloaded the map way before you made this video because there is a server where they roleplay in half life 2 (they constantly change maps) and they used this map so thats how i found it
you could trick me into thinking screenshots from this map is actually a leaked picture from valves next game in source 2

Put this into source 2 and it will look Like real life.
I can't say anything else than, it looks good, really good.
How about you review that "cursed" gm_construct 13 beta ?
Woww
Lovely.
did every city have it's own citadel?
As far as I know, yes. Every city had its own Citadel. And Administrator too. Dr. Breen was the Administrator of Earth, plus City 17.
@@RadiationHazardYT that's interesting now that you say that
@@R3TR0--93 also according to dr. Kleiner, the destruction of the city 17 citadel also caused the other citadels across the planet to shut down
@@Mauricio0973 Yeah cause city 17 was probably the main one
I think C24 was originally Paris.
Geneva, Switzerland
@@johnjenkins123 Okay.
I can't help but to feel that it is also heavily inspired by the game *Dishonored* , but that's probably just me.
It is. Perks of two different IPs sharing the same art director.
Hey. Great video, but just wanted to comment that City 24 is actually located in Geneva in Switzerland.
Ah gotcha. Sorry about that. For some reason my mind was fixated on this map being in France... Anyway, thanks for the correction, and for watching!
Oh wow I watched this video before I started playing WN and forgot Lmao
Yes.
The map could be optimised with some hint brushes
my favorite guy has done it again, thx radhaz!

What is the last number of these Wallace Breen & Combine made cities? Is it City-1000? I’m confused.. 😵💫
Awesome Map! Awesome Video!
RTX ON 0:12
you should make one on V4
It runs okay with like 60-80 players

You should check out rp_southside. It also looks amazing.
That one is probably the worst map I've ever played it looks nice but I'm on a high-end computer and it lags and bluescreens my computer
Too bad this is not a sp map.
Also, the Combine section reminded me of Control.
its the neoclassical architecture and usage of the color red
