Slav = Slave
Slav means word, as in people who can communicate with each other.
Slave cope
Whiter than you shitskin
Tell that to the combine. Oh wait, too late.
And Nippon comes from nipple. Excellent linguistic skills my friend.
Slave cope
Germans come from germs.
The word for slave in Medieval Latin is Slavus, which is the etymology of Slavic. The reason why this term was chosen for what we now call the Slavic people is that this region of Europe was once the source of slaves for people in other parts of Europe.
>all this cope babble
>it is all wrong
Kek.
It comes from way romans were referring to these backwards even by barbarian standards tribes. The retcon about it not meaning slaves is an unironic renaissance we wuz thing that came much later to rationalize land grabs.
t. slav
found the mutt.
What a moron lol
Slave cope, too bad Turks and muslims didn't rape you backwards barbarians enough, you are not white you homosexual, now sit, slave.
A lot of europoops and snow Black folk are seething at this post, but you’re right
Correct. Comes from the roman sclavus.
This literally means that Slavs have the ownership of the word "slave".
Meaning nogs should stfu about it.
It's literally said at the start of the fricking game.
TO OUR FINEST REMAINING..
Well, In HLA they are using power supply and infastructure to build their HQ which means they needed a place that was still intact to build their infastructure.
Can't do that in the US since it's gone.. ..along with most major cities, small towns and pretty much all the grid, water, rail, etc.
But didn't Breen negotiate the end of the seven hour war from the UN tower in New York?
>In HLA
fanfiction
no laidlaw, not real
I don't think they're using any power from Earth to build the Citadel in HLA. The first thing they did was teleport the dark energy reactor spire into the middle of the city, then proceeded to build the Citadel around it.
Then why are there barely any slaves remaining and Americans inhabiting it instead
The combine just love Sowiet brutalism
Biosphere and climate was totally fricked up so that just happened to be a stable enough location to shove the remaining humans before they all suffocated.
I know that in reality the U.S. is a wasteland because of our proximity to the resonance cascade origin, however I choose to believe the Combine nuked us because they couldn't take us
>5 billion guns
>election got stolen
>doin nofin
nah, ya'd be suckin combine dick fr
To the Combine the US is no more of a speck of shit than India is.
even less, the combine is armed against any armament, but the waste hazard in india is probably toxic to xen life
Nah it'd be a headcrab and bullsquid haven
Canonically we tried taking them and only lasted 7 hours
The US isn't just a wasteland, it's a xen infested and spreading lovecraftian nightmare that the Combine is currently trying to contain.
It was a warning about israelites genociding Ukrainians using a bullshit war to then rebuild their empire and take the country for themselves.
rent free
If it was a western city, the world might have just joined forces to protect it, but nobody gives a shit about the east.
How would Half Life 2 be different if it was set in Slovenia?
>How would Half Life 2 be different if it was set in Slovenia?
>Ravenholm would be series of villages along broken railway, where you need to disembark to repair/unlock/open shit to progress, while swarmed with zombies
>Hills/mountains instead of coasts
>Citadel in dead center of Ljubljana
I would say, that it would be pure kino
How would Half Life 2 be different if it was set in India?
>India
water hazard is radioactive the whole way
I think the airboat section took place in the Ganges River.
How would Half Life 2 be different if it was set in Tibet?
How would Half Life 2 be different if it was set in Japanese-run Sakhalin?
few to no earthquakes over there and it is situated on the largest landmass.
???
Do you think the aliens care about which city they're in
>North & South America were both overwhelmed by Xen creatures and abandoned by the Combine as it was not cost effective to maintain fortified cities there
>draining the oceans made naval logistics pointless, so the Combine had to establish their presence on a contiguous landmass
>the Russian Black Sea coast is close to the center of Eurasia, making it a good point to deliver resources/people by train from all corners of the landmass.
because eurobeats
They were looking for the highest concetration of white men.
Yeah that's certainly not Bulgypsia.
It's Poland.
>poland
>cyrillic signs
Uh huh.
What gives you the impression that the citadel is their HQ? Or that its the only structure of its like they've constructed on Earth?
>I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my Administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors.
Belarus is a nice place. Should have picked Serbia tho.
>Why did the Combine pick some random slav city as their Earth's HQ?
That particular area of Earth had the coolest gas masks
>Slavs are the last whites on Earth
Just like in real life. Kek.
Presumably the rest of the world was too devastated from the Xen invasion and the seven hour war.
looks like new england portland
>russia is prone to falling celestial bodies due to its size and geography
>combine falls in russia and looks for nearest city, if it didnt already fall on it
simple
