Bulgaria?

I doubt it if you look at the petrol pumps along the highway you can see that the currency they use is “Kron”, Bulgaria uses the Lev.
I’d say that City 17 is probably located in Estonia since at the time Halfe-Life 2 was released they were using the Estonian Kroon.
We still haven’t figured out it definitive answer for this? This is why he won’t give us half life three you fuckers.
The official canon has been that City 17 is somewhere in Eastern Europe. Plenty of people alive during HL2 that were alive prior to the 7 Hour War, so destruction of maps or knowledge of geography is unlikely. Someone must know where the hell they are on Earth.
Quick, draw Estonia from memory
You arrive in the Nyugati train station, Hungary in the beginning of HL2. :P
Ok so that is the station the location is modelled after?
Yep.
Funfact: the capitol bulding is based on the Serbian National Assembly in Belgrade: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/Дом_Народне_Скупштине_Србије.jpg/540px-Дом_Народне_Скупштине_Србије.jpg
I, too, have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers.
Well that was an hour I wasn’t expecting to spend reading the half life wiki this evening
I gotta play these again sounds like I missed basically the entire plot when I played these as a kid
I replay them frequently. They still beat out the single player mode of most other games.
