Half-LIfe 2 Deathmatch available  by Craig D at 10:29

PC
Yes, soon was in fact more or less immediate, and it's already avaialble on steam. Just a 32mb download too. Gamespot have already taken it for a spin.

We also quickly set up a server to get a sense of the available options and also to get a better look at each map. A team deathmatch variant is available, pitting resistance forces against the Combine, and some other basic server-side options can be toggled, such as whether to make stray weapons stay or temporarily disappear on pick-up.

It is 'just' a 32mb download but the cs update (200mb) contains files used by hl2 dm as well

I'm trying to setup a server, its being a pain atm

It's fun until the novelty of throwing objects at peoples heads and killing them wears off, lol.

Gets boring too quickly for me, never have really liked deathmatches.

Would be fun to play with you lot though

ehe, I understand CPU usage is high due to all the physics calcs the server has to do, flying toilets are more compex than bullets apparantly.


Why not register and have your say?
