gd i'm so frustrated with deathmatch now. every server lags like hell no matter how many players are there. when you're standing right next to someone and unload a clip in them, half the bullets miss (wtf?!) team deathmatch is retarded cuz every single time the teams are stacked (when one side starts losing a lot of the players leave so you are faced with 10 vs 6). why don't you fix these kinds of issues before worrying about making the magnum useless valve?!
 
hmm i am able to hit someone unless they have an uber ping. Also, team stacking isn't really a big deal as players can switch teams....
 
[dunno why I'm posting this but...]

if you want to complain to valve, you might want to go to their forums, not here. even though I can guarantee you it will do very little good as valve is already swamped with stupid requests from idiots like you.

Yep, you're an idiot.
 
if you don't like it don't play it. Simple.
 
What do you mean?

HL2DM being fun? I can understand that but it contradicts the rest of your post.

OR

HL2DM being gay ? How can some software be homosexual?
 
I think I'm met you and wopped your ass,

sorry pal, take it or leave it but coming on to a HL2 forum and moaning about lag is not the most sensible thing to to.

take it easy pal.
 
i don't remember seeing you. but my main gripe is the lag. anyway, if i'm not supposed to complain here, where am i supposed to go? the new york yankees forum?

Hey man I'm on your side.

But I am sure I saw your ugly butt out there. :p

Don't get me wrong but as much as I hate steam it is unfair to blame them for the lag.

Hey man I am broadband' but not everybody is.

thats more like it ^^^
 
The game is not laggy although it does need a little faster connection than 56k. ;)
Try closing AIM or other programs when you play. You might get a lot better experience that way.

That's my server list I just pulled up right now off a basic cable connection with Windows Update busy dling something in the background.

Dunno why but I perfer TDM over regular DM. ;)

I dunno about team stacking, and I seem to be able to hit my target pretty well, but for me most servers are very choppy despite me being on cable and not runny any programs in the backround. Maybe Im just not on the right servers, any good ones you guys wanna recommend?

maybe you did see me then. i don't remember the names of the people i play. and i'm not blaming steam for anything, i'm blaming valve for not fixing the lag problem. when i was using my college's 100mbps connection the lag was ok. but now i'm home on my 3mbps connection and the lag is really really frustrating. makes deathmatch no fun right now. and to the guy who said my shot sucks, like i said, i was right behind someone with my crosshair in the middle of their back. unloaded a whole clip and he didn't die. something's messed up.

yeah, notice how there are only 2 servers under 70 ping? when i join any server from 70+ it starts to get annoyingly laggy.
 
i find many servers below 70 ping...some even in the 20's... oh yeah i too have a 3meg connection and i can play the game quite fine...
 
i meant servers under 70 ping with people actually playing in them. obviiously there is no point in joining an empty server
 
well idk what steam ur playing on panda but im always finding plenty of choices of servers with pings 40 and under. its one of two things.

1. your connection sucks (win)
2. your steam is ****ed up (maybe)
 
Obviously i too meant servers with people playing in them...which there are plenty
 
Well so many many people whinged for deathmatch before release, now they get it and there's barely any people playing.

GG vocal minority.
 
For the record Mr-Fusion not all of us that "whined" wanted a DM style HL² multiplayer, I for one wanted a Combine vs Resistance domination mod. I know DM has be over played and is a dieing gameplay mode, But I am very happy to have something offical based in the Half-life² universe.
 
I never have a problem with lag unless I join some shit server, if you just stick to the ones with the good pings (of which there are plenty) you should be fine. I think one of the main problems with the servers, is that people are throwing them up without knowing what their server is capable of handling. I don't have a problem with team stacking, if the teams get uneven, someone usually changes over to even them up. I have also never had issues with hit detection in HL2DM, or CS:S.
 
I'm on a great university connection and see servers with pings of 6 to 50 all the time... but I've yet to find a server that can handle a good 12 or 16 people throwing crap around the map.

Where do you guys play? I'd like to find some good servers that I can stick to.

Thanks,
aleksandr
 
The poster is right i have broadband and my ping on these steam servers goes from 23-89. Somtimes i jump in an empty server and everything is cool then a few others come and everything is cool then when 10 or more players come thats when the lag comes. Now it was ok when deathmatch 1st came out, there was no lag even with 20 players, but these last few updates have done something to the network code....if we b&%tch to steam enough they will fix it..i hope. I like the game overall its fun and often funny.
 
Drunk Panda, I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time finding the homo erotic nature of HL2DM. Haven't seen any piles of men having sex with eachother or anything like that.

PS: Thank god that panda's suck ass at reproducing.
 
Ok, let's look at this from a logical point of view.

You have two different kinds of server.

1. Linux
2. Windblows

Linux is 10x better for running a server. You are less likely to have lag and overall poor performance.

Steam needs to have a filter for viewing only Linux based servers.

A lot of people try to run servers from their home on crappy cable/dsl connections. Those people are most likely to be using windows as a server. Linux based servers are more likely to be run by a server hosting company or at least at a business with a very fast connection.

If you could filter out only Linux servers you would weed out a lot of people running a server from thier house.

You may get a good ping to a windows server at someones house but after a few people join you are in trouble.

HL2DM is a very resource hungry server to run also. It uses a ton of server resources. All the more reason to not use windows.
 
It a shame making maps that run in Linux can be a real bastard eh Pro[pH]et...:D
 
Yeah, and it is an issue Valve needs to look at very seriously. They are bound to get a bunch of maps submitted for this contest that won't run on Linux.

Now you are talking a mess when servers start crashing all the time. I expect the top 10 maps to be a part of a Steam update and what if half of those maps crash Linux servers?
 
I would imagine that before releasing the maps Valve will edit them and optimise them wherever necessary to ensure they run on Linux servers
 
The rules don't say anything about including the vmf file. I don't know much about mapping but don't you need the vmf file to edit and then recompile?

It makes sense that Valve would validate maps on Linux before release. I felt smart there for a second. Oh well, back to reality. rofl
 
Wow, i just read this thread and i really can't take DrunkenPanda seriously after reading the title. He failed his argument the moment he wrote "deathmatch is gay".
