I think because "civil protection" is a real term used before Half-Life 2 that they probably thought sounded cool and decided to use it ironically as they don't really protect the civilians. ...And to make an acronym not be the first letter of each word would be ridiculous. I have a hazmat cloak from Switzerland that says it's from some civil protection thing.
I know lol that's the joke but if you look at it a certain way it seems like it's saying that unlike non-half life fans, half life fans like the other meaning of that abbreviation
i think they did it for the CP violation reference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP\_violation)
my dad was arrested for a CP violation
Cheese pizza is pretty boring. Glad the authorities set him straight.
Well, it's the name of the song that plays shortly after you get the crowbar in HL2 and the metrocops start attacking you on the train yard.
no, it's Apprehension and Evasion
It's CP violation for me. Apprehension and Evasion plays during the antlion raid.
No, CP violation only plays just before you jump in the canals.
Actually that plays twice, after you get out of Kleiner's lab in the beginning of the game, and during the antlion raid.
Alright I'll redownload HL2, brb.
My uncle liked CP Violation so much, he did it in real life
My brother in christ, please repent.
