HL2 DM Verdict

[Black Mesa corp]

So after all the hype over HL2 DM, what is your verdict?

 

[-JeZ-]

All the servers I've played on are laggy. 700+ pings. On the rare occasions when the game isn't lagging and on TDM servers it's great fun. 8/10

8/10
yes yes its good fun, magnum too powerful, still a bit buggy. would like to see 32 player more stable.

i am giving it a 7/10 and my reasons are not so much to do with lag as they are with the limited number of weapons.
i am disappointed that theres no crowbar, no snarks.. basically no creative alien weapons :|

hence my score for it.

I love everything about it. 9/10

-1 point for the lack of maps (atm)

 

[HadouKen24]

7/10 until we get more maps, including big ones with at least a couple vehicles.

Hopefully they will change it from just a DM into something based on objectives or something, not another CS but something more interesting

 

[Thadius Dean]

9/10: -1 for lack of maps, and small little complaints.

 

[Hazar]

9/10

not enough maps yet, and some lag/slow problems.

But the fun factor nearly makes up for all of it

Mebbe something like Halo 2's multi? It's got a lot of variety, including some stuff that's a little like CS objectives, but manages to be fast and furious anyway.

 

[NachoMan]

it's vanilla deathmatch with physics. 7/10

 

[Dr. Freeman]

the lack of maps will be fixed over time by Valve and the community as well.. we have some really talented mappers in the community i think that lack of maps will go away soon.
