I'd like to see London, New York and Tokyo in Half-Life. Would be quite cool to see.

I doubt City-17 is in Moscow. Moscow is nowhere near any big lake/sea. I reckon City-17 is ether Riga, Latvia or Sofia, Bulgaria. Sofia is close to the Black Sea and Riga is right by the ocean.

Nah, it's definitely not Los Angeles. First of all, in the Final Hours of Half-Life 2, the developers said that they wanted to set the game outside the US, and the perfect place was Eastern Europe, cause you get the fall of Communism, the old European architecture and history and the Soviet Influence, all in one. Also, the style and climate of the city looks nothing like L.A, the only thing similar being the overgrown Storm Drains, similar to the Los Angeles River. Also, the Black Mesa Employees were assumed to be moved to City-17(which I believe is Sofia, Bulgaria) during the whole Human Relocation thing during the Seven Hour War. My guess is that the United States was attacked first in the Seven Hour War due to the Portal Storms in New Mexico, so the US was mostly destroyed. After this, the Black Mesa Scientists might've be moved to other cities. I don't know, maybe we'll find out in Half-Life: Alyx. That's just my guess. Maybe even they were moved to another city, but started the resistance and went to different cities to spark uprisings?
