Comment removal

removed a comment from a description under the citadel from the canals "obvious compensation for something".

"The outskirts of City 17 features industrial districts and additional Soviet housing, most of which are considered off-limits to citizens and are primarily guarded by better trained and augmented Combine Elites." What is the source for this? I didn't see any Elites in there, if that means the areas seen in Water Hazard.

Good question, that would be an unsourced statement. Elites don't show up in or around City 17 until after the uprising. --MattyDienhoff 09:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Actual City?

I think I might know what city this is. You find a "Cafe Baltic" near the train station so we can assume that the coast is the Baltic Sea. The only Russian-speaking city on the Baltic is St. Petersburg. Tell me if you find any errors in my logic.

Combine Indentification

Where was it confirmed 314 URB-LOC 0017 is the identification for City 17? I was under the assumption that number was the identification for a particular Advisor Pod (granted, LOC could mean location, suggesting 0017 is the identification for City 17).

Thanks for clearing this up. (Strat-N8 02:18, 22 February 2009 (UTC))

Location of the City

"City 17 was a city in an unknown Eastern European region"

Gordon Freeman went from the City 17 to the Black Mesa East by canals. Hoewever, if you want to go from the eastern europe to the New Mexico(where the Black Mesa located in), you should cross the Atlantic Ocean, not canals. So I think City 17 is located in America. --59.19.159.77 15:07, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

ROFL! I rarely read such nonsense. Black Mesa East is not in New Mexico! Black Mesa East and the Black Mesa Research Facility are two different things, hence the "East" in the name, because it's located East of America, in Europe! Did you play the games? Did you read RtB?... Klow 15:17, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

Background and origins of City 17

Why is there "???" where it should show the Russian letters? Malekron 02:58, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

• Fixed. Also it's not only Russian, it is also Bulgarian. ШЛЫК 12:18, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

City 17 may have been changed due to 9/11

I have an idea that City 17 may have been changed due to 9/11. Early versions of City 17 were based on American cities. During the storyline, there was to be a section where you were on a plane as it crashed into a skyscraper. In September 2001, City 17's design was changed so it now resembled an Eastern European city. So much seems to line up. This may not be true, just a weird thought I had.
