This doesn't explain anything. Why keep everybody of City 17 alive, and then shell Ravenholm so much that its entire population becomes zombies?
Poster might be trolling. Ravenholm was a Resistance stronghold. The tunnel also has ceiling turrets in it.
As others in the thread pointed out, Ravenholm was used as a rebel stronghold. Instead of launching an assault on the town, the combine simply used headcrab shells to flush out the rebels and prevent the area from being used by the resistance again. Presumably, they've done this to many other towns on the outskirts of the city. Anybody who manages to find their way out of C17 are confronted by beaches full of antlions, some of which are probably artificial, as the combine have drained the oceans significantly. Not very pleasant.
the combine then found it, and instead of deploying troops which would result in alot of loss of resources (there was somewhere between 100 and 200 rebels in ravenholm) they just said "♥♥♥♥ it let the headcrabs deal with them" and shelled the hell outa the place
In my head canon, there were only a handful of survivors and Father Grigori raised them and taught them to be fighters. Since they were so few and obviously outgunned and not trusting of others, not even other citizens or Resistance cells, they were very brutal in their tactics, even fighting their own if the need arose. They had to be to survive. Plus the horrors they saw would even turn a Saint.
Wasn't that from the prototype story ? The ocean or sea, doesn't seem drained in the retail maps.
Although I guess some of the beaches are sort of large.
