I had some thoughts on the "Ravenholm" sign seen in the new E3 vids, and I pieced the evidence from several videos together into one big theory.
I'm very confident of its accuracy though, to the point that it might spoil a big chunk 'o plot, so it's spoiler tagged. If you want the game to be a total surprise, reading this might not be a good idea.
Still, this is a beta-free zone: only guesses based on official evidence within.

It looks to me as though the zombie sequences in all the videos so far are not taking place in City 17.
-In the new E3 vid, we see that a nightime area loaded with zombies is called Ravenholm.
-Also, every other bit of zombie-related media released so far is at night, in an area with very similar buildings.
-Plus the combine that you find there wear black masks (in traptown), while combine inside of City 17 wear only white ones. This indicates that they outside of the metrocop jurisdiction of City 17.
So, it appears like the entire town of Ravenholm has been infested with a headcrab invasion, and the only survivor is Gregori, who has understandibly gone insane. Plus, the combine show up for bonus fun too!
So, an entire city has gone zombi-licious. Dawn of the dead hijinx abound!
If I'm right, Ravenholm may just be the best part of the game.
