Sorry but I'd been told ever since I started playing on the server our 7 hour war was during 2015 not 2014. Either I was lied to and I need to change my applications or it was changed recently.

[Statua]

I heard that too but theres a big problem with that. HL2RP on cg started early 2011 which would be early 2015 however waffle said there was a year between the war and the date hl2rp opened. Which either means its 2017 or the war happened in 2014....

Alright after some digging, I found out that the war date WAS in fact 2015, however the year today is 2017. If you look at this diary entry I made May of last year, you'll see what I mean. http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=1674.msg11699#msg11699

As soon as the next update (which fixes a few things and adds a few new features) the time in game will be 100% fixed and will reflect the proper time, date, day that the game is set in.

General reference to in game time: The current time and date of the GMT +5 years

[Vandal??¢]

I read from another topic (Not sure where, lost to me) that C-45 was located in Vienna, Austria.

[Statua]

Ok well this one is the official one so go by this thread. C45 would be located in either Romania or Ukraine.

[Orange - Cisco Certified]

I think it's funny how many Americans live in the Ukraine and how there's a weird lack of Ukraine people in Ukraine

[Tyrone McNigga]

Like how City18 is located somewhere in Eastern Europe but 3/4 of the people there are British (Xq28, which has horrible Metrocops). The best we can assume is that there are a lot of Americans who relocated to 45 for some reason.

And I like that necro-post.

Posting on stickied guides/topics really can't be considered necroposting.

[Lone Wanderer <??"?]

I think the whole reasoning by relocating races of people to different locations (English->Eastern Europe for an example), is so the people aren't too familiar with the region they are in. Also, the infrastructure being of a different language means that English speakers can't read it as easily, therefore making navigation/organization more difficult. Overall, I'd say the whole reasoning behind it is that it makes an organized resistance more difficult due to the unfamiliarity with the region.

[Mr. Pettit]

And then there's also the fact that there is a certain amount of areas the Combine made into "Cities". Larger cities were probably leveled in the war or harder to maintain and establish into a Union designated city, and rural areas are obviously not the best place to establish a new one. So they probably had to fill up a handful of cities in an area with a lot more people than they can fit, so they relocate others to places that are less populated, closer, etc.

[raged]

why is english the primary language spoken if we're in romania

[The Doctor, RIP Juggernaut]

why is english the primary language spoken if we're in romania

Most likely because everyone here is English speaking?

Truth be told the combine would have most likely standardize too a single language too make communicating easier(From what I understand English the second top most spoken language and is a lot easier to learn the Chinese)

This. And what Lone said. Chinese speaking people could be in America or something.
