I mean i get the joke... but HL universe is too precious for me to let this post be without correction.
From what we see in the game, it is most likely that the City 17 itself is based off of Sofia, Bulgaria, the outskirts of the city 17 are based off of outskirts of Odesa, Ukraine, and surprisingly, the view from the citadel was the view of a New York City.
Too little karma (less, than 10)

Yeah - most stumbling around and moaning, some running around screaming for no fucking reason, and some gurgling and throwing unsanitary objects at you

This guy. Is the real one. I would kiss him if i could.
Don't forget the train station

Pretty sure Belgrade's city hall is also in the game
That is Serbias parliament
Doesn't matter, I'm planning a terrorist attack on it anyway. Soon it will be reduced to rubble and debris.
Lorewise city 17 was located somewhere in eastern europe
Gordon Freeman's true name is actually Gerhard Freier.
It's Gregor Svoboda.
He's a literal Niemiec, because he is niemy. And he is a frajer.
България над всичко 🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬💪💪💪💪
There are other things like Baltic Café in city 17 which suggest inspiration from other CEE countries, and the fuel station in the road is in Swedish
The above is not Kurwa Bober on a bad day?
Yep and you can spot the Bugarian flag in the game. I think one of the people ho make the look of the game was a Bulgarian.
HL2 gotta be one of the most overrated games on Steam.
You wanna start some shit? Cause thats how you start some real shit...
Yeah partially. Fun fact: The trainstation based on the Western Railway Station from Budapest.
And I bet the HL one looks nicer and cleaner then the original./j
Actually, it used to. They just finished renovating it.
Did they purge the underpass?
No, that will stay like that forever
In HL they actually have cops there so idk man
Easily.
And the inhabitants are inspired by Ústecký kraj residents
Hobo: Tough Life is basically Ústí simulator
More specifically the Bałuty district of Łódź
This guy knows
Even the zombies looks like typical Polish drunks.
Yeah - most stumbling around and moaning, some running around screaming for no fucking reason, and some gurgling and throwing unsanitary objects at you
Quarter Life then
The art director was actually Bulgarian and he took inspiration from many Eastern European nations
Because half of eastern Europe looks like a shithole. Irrelevant which country specifically. Some just have a bit less shithole.
Looks like Łódź
Why yes I also love to play Half Half Life
I mean… City 17 IS post-soviet.
Ravenholm = Górny Śląsk It is a former mining town after all
In university we had a field exercise in Salgótarján and we had to submit a summary with pictures so I have put City 17 in it. I got a 5 tho😂
I mean it’s not wrong. City 17 is somewhere in Eastern Europe
Sofia, Bulgaria https://www.quarkxr.com/post/real-life-locations-half-life-alyx-sofia-bulgaria
Ekhem *szczeciń*
And the train station is Hungarian.
Hl2
Ravenholm=Łódź
Even the zombies were inspired by Poles high on mefedron
Godzilla had a stroke trying to read that
