Hello, I'm sorta new to this forum, so I really didn't get a chance to read everything. So, if I repeat something already discussed, please bear with me.
Here is my theory to what happened between HL1 and HL2. Note: If you do not what to know about this, please do not continue reading. This may be theory, but it could still be accurate.
I think that once the marines took control of Xen, earth started degrading into complete chaos. Despite their efforts, the marines where unable to stop the aliens already on earth, and headcrabs roamed the streets, like killer rats that can controll your brain. Impossible to exterminate, the headcrabs would quite easily destroy civilization as we know it, despite everyone efforts.
As more and more civilians where Crabbed, soon things became desperate. What was left of the goverment arranged a group of elite soldiers, equiping them with techonology from Zen, creating "Super soldiers". These where named the combine, and they where charged with keeping humanity alive.
The Combine did a good job, in fact. They immidiatly quarenteened most of the world, and put all of the remaining population into protected cities, for their safety. Then, they reqruited people from these cities, and engineered them to become combine.
BECAUSE they had complete controll, the colombine soon became currupted. From here on out, many things could have happened.
A. They contacted another world, and made a deal with the aliens there. The aliens built the citidel, gave them techonology, in return for resources.
B. The marines had contacted the aliens, and pretty much the same thing happened, with the "Friendly" aliens help.
Now that the combine has complete controll, what started as an attempt to save humanity soon became an attempt to jail humanity. Therefore, the resistance fighters are born. They have decided that the colombine is no longer of any use, and that they could take care of the headcrabs... without the curruption.
Sometimes you leave city 17 into some of the quarenteened sections, and you see evidence of fights, boarded up doors to try and stop them... But, in the end, there was no one left. Ravenholm was one of these places.
Its almost like Dawn of the dead, but with headcrabs.
So, what do you think?
