DeathMatch Mode on Half Life 2

nah, only if you pull the object towards you with secondary then fire it with primary. If you see a car, and your punch it with the primary and it squashes the unfortunate behind it, it shows a kill sign (skull and crossbones) same thing with exploding barrels.

Preddy much everyone in the servers i have played in are ignoring the guns and just throwing shit at each other.

rah my first full game. Look at the size of my e-penis!
 
"If you were having trouble launching games, restart Steam now. Small update.

Cliffe
VALVe"


Well, there ya go. Hope that fixes it for you guys.
 
In the heat of battle you're just throwing anything you can grab in your immediate vicinity at your opponents, chairs, cabinets, tables, barrels etc. It's good shit, and this is combined with the gun play so trying to shoot your opponent while at the same time dodging flying radiators and sinks is quite something. Now that the full SDK has been released, user made maps will pop up really quickly; in fact Valve have a contest going of who can design the best DM map with the top prize being $3,000.
 
My "Latency" has been 800+ for most of the games I've had with most other ppl below 100 :( It sucks! Only the first game I tried was playable with minor lag.
 
Just spent the last 3 hrs playing multiplayer... only this time on LOCAL servers! :lol Makes a huge difference. I haven't played much online multiplayer before as I'm generally a console person but man this rocks. Can't wait to play against my friends.

BTW when u take a snapshot using F5 where are the pics stored? What folder? thanks!

Just downloaded the DM files, gonna check it out.
 
Haha. It's crazy.

Very rough around the edges... spawning in and getting my ass wooped instantly before I even figure out what's going on.

Plus, the weapon changes need to be instant, because everything is moving too fast! YARRR!!

But fun!
 
Dear Valve,

Gosh it'd be nice if I could download this update as a seperate file at work, you know, where I have BROADBAND. Did you guys even test Steam on dial-up, or did you just chuckle to yourself and go "man this is going to suck for those guys" and sent it on its way?

Sigh...looks like I'll have to wait until I drag my PC to its next lan party before I can check this out. Thanks guys, for punishing people who paid for their games in the name of fighting teh piracy.

Go to Program Files>Valve>Steam>SteamApps and burn "half-life 2 deathmatch.gcf" to a CD-R. Then just copy the file to the same folder on your home PC.
 
Just a heads-up. We have a SteamID collection thread in the online forum. If everybody posts their stuff in there we'll have a much easier time finding people
 
Looks like I'll be picking this up today. Can no longer resist. Probably won't get to play 'til tomorrow thanks to all the bullsh!t yo have to download...

Will Steam actually allow you to install one copy of HL2 on two machines? I honestly haven't tried, but if that works, then cool, I appreciate it.

Yes. You just can't be logged onto the same account from two different machines at the same time.
 
This fucking rocks! I played my first full game of HL deathmatch with around 20 people and I won it with a score of like 71. Prior to that I think I played with teh pwn, unless it was a different guy with the same name. Anyhow, this is so much fun. I love using the gravity gun and chucking radiators and whatnot at people. Instant kill. I was in the bathroom and had a fight with 5 people and I just kept killing them by chucking everything that was in site. It was great.

The weapons seem pretty balanced too. I saw people using all sorts of things, and I found myself using different weapons in different situations. The magnum and teh crossbow are really, really good.

I love this....

I'll read this thread and see if GA has picked a server to play on. This is so much fun.
 
I love blocking bullets with objects. Its funny when you see the other guy emptying a clip or two while you just strafe around him
 
Steam name is Chodermeister, let's get a game going
 
The fence in lockdown needs to be nerfed :lol. Seriously, the thing is like 6 feet wide, anything in its path = DEAD. Too bad you can't get it out of the little fan area. I like desks the best, sinks and toilets are fun because they fly, but you have to get the right trajectory. It's pretty sweet beaning someone in the head with a toilet from like 100 feet though :lol.

Overwatch sucks IMO. Nothing to throw.

Fun stuff, I just hope there's a lot more maps coming out soon. A level based on the nexus or in the citadel would be cool.
 
Anyone know how to force a maxplayer limit for servers you create (without using the Dedicated Server tool)? I made a game and turned off LAN mode so people could connect, but maxplayers was set to 32 and I ended up getting 28 people to connect and it was turning to shit because my computer couldn't handle it. 18 players seems to be a good limit, but whenever I try "maxplayers 18" in the console before I create the server it resets to 32 after the map loads and doesn't allow me to change it.
 
Does anyone have any info on the required CPU/memory/bandwidth per player for a dedicated server? How about for a listen server?

way toooo laggy. we need someone here to host a game with a password.

I don't think thats likely. Look for another server thats empty. And not too big, cause it gets really laggy then.
 
I played with Firestorm, the game is so fun. My 2nd time playing and I was killing everybody though, I hope I don't get too good for this game, just like in everything else that I do.

Wha you were in there? Under what name? lol. I kept getting owned by Thaedolus

I was Sactown, I was like 90/30. I died from several explosions caused by you.
I love the game, but I hope the lag issues get fixed up.
