Bit laggy on mostly all servers but none the less very fun indeed. I'm not really a fan of CS:Source so i have lots of fun playing this. It's very easy for me not that hard to get into. See you guys playing!!

stick to ur own pointless nub threads, kthanx

I havent had any lag problems.
*shrug*
 
If I can make it work once I've downloaded it, and I can find someone willing to put up with my 56k-ness, I'll have a go at it...
 
I gotta Steam platform.I started Steam, and it informed me, that HL2Deathmatcn is released, so I installed HL2Deathmatch. After that HL2 didn't launch. HL2Deathmatch also didn't launch!
 
oh wow the deathmatch is excellent! no other words can describe the thrilling experience while playing it. u can literally see chairs, toilet bowls, cabinets and all other imaginable things fly (toward other people of course). damn, i just stop playing just to write this.
 
Ok so public servers are SUPPPPPPER laggy butttttt

My friend setup a passworded server and it was just him and me and the lag was non-existant. I was pinging in the 50s and it worked really well. We enabled cheats an spawned buggies and airboats with the console :

ch_airboat
ch_buggy

just make sure your aiming far enough away from yourself so that it doesn't spawn in the ground.

we also tried driving around in the tiny maps which was kinda fun. We also tried spawning NPCs with :

npc_create npc_fastzombie

but they didn't react ......... just like in the un-finished deathmatch we found in the original HL2. So no co-op.

The one other thing I was gonna try to get him to try was to load a map that didn't come with HL2DM like d2_coast_04 or something like that but then his mom came and told him to get off the comptuer so heh ad to shut the server/PC down. Now your probably wondering how would HL2DM be able to access HL2 files, I dunno either how but if it can access the model and partial AI for npc_fastzombie then it must have map access too.

Anyhow, if oyu really want to enjoy this, have a friend setup a passworded server and keep 4 or less people in it. We ran 3 with NO lag (pings in the 40-60s) and haven't tried any higher than that for now.

wtf...... they are all 700+ latency for me..... im not kidding

EDIT : I just checked and the latencies are all down....... thats so wierd because within the first 15-20 minutes that HL2DM was out all the servers were SUPERRRRR high ping and in-game play was impossible except for on my friends private server
 
my first impressions : seriously kick ass, and im ****in good at it as well (played five rounds and came first in all 5 by quite a margin)
 
hmmmm GRAV GUN + CAR = 4 ppl dead at once !! :D


No crowbar though D:
 
Well heres my impression..... it screwed my single player!
 
HELL YES!!! I knew the suprise was gonna be DM :D
*downloading*

post impressions later
 
oohh yea... and...

VALVE RULES!!! This shows how much they care about us! :)

Most likely because everyone who got it instantly threw up a server based on whatever crappy connection their PC has, most likely not able to handle a large server, but people did it anyway because they were desperate to play the game with someone else, no matter how laggy. Obviously as time goes on actual dedicated servers will come up and you will be seeing much better pings across the board, just like in all the other mods.
 
first impression, really boring, once the novelty wears off people will soon get tired of this. wheres tfc:S dammit, valve keep the tfc community happy as well not just the cs and dm players. not everyone likes pratting around with the bloody gravity gun you know.
 
How the hell did Valve think CS:S was a better choice than this? They should have spent the time making CS:S and refined THIS game! In other words, I love it. :D
 
Well when I finally got onto a server, It was a bit laggy with 24 people running around but great fun.
Al the stuff flying everywhere.
 
My Impression is that its laggy to high hell. Unplayable.
 
HL2 Dm rocks hard. Was playing this morning with a latency of 45 ish, and I absolutly loved every second of it. The Grav gun is the most awsome deathmatch weapon I've ever seen. Unfortunately things seem laggy for me now, but I'm sure it will improve soon. Can't wait for some new maps.

If some uber genius out there could make a version of the undertow map from hl1 with extra things to throw about, that would be sweet.

Wait for proper dedicated servers to pop up. Some people have reported perfect gameplay.
 
Is it just me or does a low ping help a LOT in HL2DM ?

yep and the server connection.

for example SWE servers are the fastest in europ cause they use 100Mbit line connection :amazing:
 
This game is pure ace! All you need to do is finding a very fast server, joining a server with 10 players, (20 players is just madness) and enjoy! I just played tdm but I think regular dm is funnier :)
 
Giving everyone a Gravity Gun when they spawn was a bad move imo. Thats why it lags so much. I think the Gravity gun should be like a super weapon with only 1 Gravity gun per map. That would be much better. Making the weapons able to carry more ammo would also be great..
 
Good Lord! I just got done playing for about half an hour and I must admit that HL2DM is really good. I'm bettin' the farm that we'll be seeing some great maps and mods comin' out for this sucker in the coming weeks. There certainly are some lag issues, but further optimizations by Valve will soon straighten all that out I'm sure.

The weapons are surprisingly well-balanced, althought the magnum certainly needs to be toned down a little. I got 10 kills with it in the first 30 seconds of one match. The gravity gun is a blast of course. There really isn't anything more satisfying than some bastard firing a radiator at you, catching it in midair and firing it back for the kill. Brilliant.

I was thinking the exact same thing... infact i just mentioned it to badhat :D


It'll probably get changed... though madness is hillarious at the moment :LOL:

Totally. It's incomprehensible.
 
It's damn fun... but really difficult for me, with my connection, to use the gravgun properly :p.
