Video Description

The Fall of The Citadel in City 17 was viewed as a huge victory and turning point for The Resistance. Unknown to them however, this was yet another planned event. Every action, person and moment had been foreseen and manipulated by The G-Man and his employers. What strings need to be pulled to bring down The Citadel in City 17, just how much of this was planned, and why did this need to happen? In this video, we explore the perfectly orchestrated plan that brought down The Citadel in Half-Life 2.
