  Nova Prospekt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name of Nova Prospekt continues with the Eastern European motif seen throughout the game (various signs and graffiti are written with the Cyrillic alphabet, a church built in the Russian Orthodox Style in Ravenholm, and the fact that Father Grigori appears to have some sort of Eastern European accent).
Nova Prospekt appears to be separated into two parts (old, and new) illustrated respectively in the two levels of the game titled "Nova Prospekt" and "Entanglement".
The destruction of Nova Prospekt was the event that signalled the beginning of the rebellion and the one week long urban battle that resulted with the destruction of the Citadel's dark energy reactor.

 Nova Prospekt - Valve Developer Community
Nova Prospekt is the prison area in Half-Life 2 which has been "renovated" by the Combine to store human prisoners and convert them into stalkers.
The player leads a swarm of antlions into the complex and deals a crippling blow to the Combine, which triggers a revolution that sweeps City 17.
Because of the layout of Nova Prospekt (and prisons in general), a level set in the environment can feel very monotonous, making these levels difficult to design.

Nova Prospekt's prison guards wear special blue-and-yellow uniforms with the words "Nova Prospekt" on the back, but are otherwise identical to their grey-and-white counterparts.
Based on announcements made over the public address system of Nova Prospekt, punishments for failing to achieve objectives include "permanent off-world assignment." The threat of being reassigned to what may be the fringes of the Combine empire is apparently an effective method of motivating soldiers to succeed.
Apparently, in urban settings or when protecting highly important facilities (such as the Citadel dark fusion reactor or Nova Prospekt) the gunship are deployed in pairs, in what appears to be a buddy system, in which one protects the other.

I liked the part of Nova Prospekt were you are walking on the upper left side of the big bathroom area were you also fight the Antlion Guard.
Xen is like an Eton schoolboy's attempt at describing an acid-trip to his working class relatives in an attempt to make himself "down with the boys", when in reality he ran away and hid in the toilets for the quarter of an hour it took his Mama to come pick him up in the Bentley.

 Nova Prospekt? - Halflife2.net
My feeling is that the use of the russian term "prospekt" is designed to give a feeling of location.
This suggests to me that "Nova Prospekt" is a particular place, perhaps the destination of the train beyond that gate.
This probably isn't relevant, but Nevsky Prospekt is the main street of St. Petersburg in Russia.

 Blue's News: Edit Message
Yes, it would be more fun if there were two routes along the coast to Nova Prospekt, but HL2 (and other FPS games) are not about character development, they're not about the choices you make, they're not about a complex system of artefacts and backstory.
You're told to hot-foot it to Nova Prospekt and the last thing you want when you get there is to inadvertently get on the wrong road and wind up back on the damn beach.
Now, I hear you saying "that's just a design issue - make it so once you get to Nova Prospekt the alternative doors are locked, there's a rockfall over the other road or something" and I agree - it's not impossible to put in multiple routes and get around these problems.

Ok, I noticed in the Prima Official Game Guide that Nova Prospekt was a Gulag "where some of humanities most hated killers and ne'er-do-wells spent their final days" and from teh comments made throughout it certainly gives the impression of being real.
Nova Prospekt just means Nova Prospekt, it's just like Avenue, and Nova i guess means New, New Avenue.
A lot of Nova Prospekt actually looks like Alcatraz, which is where Valve held the official "launch" party, a year a head of schedule of course.

Alyx tells him that Eli has been captured and is being held in Nova Prospekt, an old maximum-security prison.
Another cited explanation is that Gordon has been transferred using a "slow teleport", similar to the one discovered by the player at the end of the Nova Prospekt chapter.
Where 'gentler' measures to push such changes are met with resistance, harsher coercive tactics are employed which range from routine raids and beatings to long-term incarceration (sometimes in political prisons such as Nova Prospekt) or execution, in complete ignorance of basic rights.

Most of Nova Prospekt is one long line.
Andrew Shorrock says: "Nova Prospekt" in the second control-the-turrets scenario you can use the grav gun to block all the other combine entrances beside the one you want to defend.
Simply chuck all the junk down from the office above before you drop down into this part and use the crates, tables and barrels to block up the forcefield entrances and the Combine won't come through.

 Concerned - Comixpedia
He holds an insane reverence for the latter, even going to the point of having a plush doll of a Combine soldier and willingly going to Nova Prospekt for invasive surgery to join the Overwatch.
Indeed (as happened in Ravenholm) he finds it hard to cope without their omnipresence, and goes to the lengths of building his own Citadel out of crates, a telescreen for watching Breencasts and an apparently fully functional Strider (although he never turns it on).
Frohman, accompanied by several "bugbait"-controlled Antlions, eventually reaches Nova Prospekt, only to be turned away as he did not have an appointment.

So City 17 was pretty much the "world capitol" at that point, and apparently people are arriving from other cities, presumeably to be routed directly to Nova Prospekt.
Heck, I think Nova Prospekt itself was already on its way to being chewed up by the Wall.
I think perhaps City 17 was the fullest extension of Breen's plans, with Nova Prospekt the cutting-edge of human slave modification research.

In Nova Prospekt, your objective is to rescue Eli with Alyx and escape with him safely.
The ending of Nova Prospekt ends with Eli and Mossman, but unfortunately, they're warped to different coordinates, and not to Dr. Kleiner's lab.
After the warp is destroyed by the Combine, the teleport warps the two slowly to Kleiner's lab, but it takes over a week to execute the warp to Kleiner's lab.

 [H]ard|Forum - Preliminary 64 bit versus 32 bit benchmarks with HL2, post your results here.
edit: here are the numbers from my 2nd run through of nova prospekt.
In the future 64-bit will outpace 32-bit, particularly when games start to be made as 64-bit, and then have secondary 32-bit versions, instead of having the 64-bit as a secondary option.
yeah, i sort of figured that the physics and AI might benefit from running in 64 bit, which is why i chose the nova prospekt level because it has all the combine and you get to mess with the bug bait, but that level had the worst showing out of the ones i tested.
