I know my grammar too!

City 17 is based on..eh..what was it again, some european city but does your blind eyes notice the fact that there's russian texts inside the game?

Also, how does the activity of this site have anything to do with the buildings and cars in the game?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

City 17 was based on the architecture of Eastern European cities.

It's never been suggested that HL2 was even set in the US. There are other countries, you know.

If you have ever been to London, it looks nothing like that my friend. Like it has been said it was based on Eastern European cities and architecture.

Specifically Bucharest in Romania.

Check out this thread. There are some buildings that have been directly copied for Half-Life 2

That one reminded me of that moment where you have to destroy the suppressor thing by taking down the 3 generators.

lol London.

Oh dear me, I must get back to my cup of tea old chap, that was simply marvellous. Anyone for a game of cricket?

YOU COULDN'T PLAY CRICKET OR BE A FOOTBALL HOOLIGAN IN THOSE STREETS YOU IDIOT! Some people...

Or is he trying to suggest that London is some kind of desolate wasteland? Maybe it's set in Hull...
