It contains props found along the Coast or Ravenholm, among others. Furthermore, a model folder found in the game files is named "props_wasteland". The several names for the Wasteland are actually never given in-game but are in Raising the Bar.Therefore the Outlands, although located in the outskirts of City 17 and having also its human settlements quite devastated, is not considered to be part of the Wasteland.Ĭoncept art of the Wasteland around City 17, with wrecks and cracks in the ground. Given the very lively flora seen in Episode Two, it seems that not all of Earth's surface is a wasteland, the Combine having likely not finished their conversion of Earth to their needs.
A sandy, desert landscape with a wrecked car, a headframe, rocks, and a crow (that Lamarr attacks) are seen during a few seconds, among the other places quickly visited before Gordon is freed by the teleport. Several Resistance outposts can also be found, mostly in the Canals and along the Coast.Īlthough Gordon does not visit the Wasteland before leaving the City 17 parts of the Canals for their Wasteland part, the area can be first spotted during the teleportation failure caused by Lamarr in the second chapter, "A Red Letter Day". The only infrastructure that is maintained is the railway, which is used by the Combine to link their outposts together and to transport Combine troops, Stalkers, and Citizens via the Wasteland Train. It is littered with car wrecks, shipwrecks, and submarine wrecks along the Coast, destroyed buildings and roads (such as Highway 17), and other scenes of desolation. The Wasteland is a desolate, barren, and hazardous region, infested with Xen wildlife such as Headcrabs, Barnacles, and Leeches, as well as Antlions, although Earth creatures such as birds, frogs, rats, and insects can still be found in most parts.
