As of the events of Half-Life 2, the road is no longer maintained and is suffering from severe disrepair, with collapsed bridges, landslides, and scores of rusty, abandoned car bodies littered across the extent of the highway. Highway 17 is one of the many coastal highways that connect City 17 to neighboring regions. Some portions of this region have also become infested with Zombies and other Xen wildlife, due in part to their use by the Combine as biological weapons against Resistance outposts.Ī prominent highway - Highway 17 - and several Resistance bases and Combine outposts are located along the Coast. Thumpers are being used by both sides to restrict Antlion's movement and create safe zones. Much of the Coast had been abandoned because of those swarming creatures. Many areas have also been colonized by Antlions, and both the Resistance and Combine have had complications fending them off. Much of the infrastructure along the Coastline, such as roads, bridges and tunnels, has decayed or been severely damaged over the course of the Combine's rule on Earth. This location showcases the darker side of the Combine's rule over Earth including the depletion of natural resources and brutal Combine raids on Resistance outposts. The Coast is largely seen as a barren wasteland being picked to the bone by Combine technology. This section is one of the longest in the game, and stretches for several in-game miles. It does not store any personal data.As of the events of Half-Life 2, parts of the Coast have recently come under Combine control forcing many of the Rebels stationing along Highway 17 into more condensed pockets of Resistance.
