In advance of the Counter-Strike: Source update we've mentioned here recently, we'll be releasing an update for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. This update will include two new weapons (the StunStick and the Slam) as well as a return of the trusty crowbar. We've decided to also include a new map called "Steam Lab."

Here are a few images:

Right around the same time, we'll be releasing the source code to Half-Life 2: Deathmatch in the SDK.

This release will happen some time next week. Right now, we're shooting for Thursday the 17th.

And just a quick note for those of you who have been asking -- yes, VAC 2 is coming.

VAC 2 is VALVe's New anticheat module for All Source games

the lil cheat kidddies are gunna get owned and there accounts banned for a year

 

[th3Phallex]

the lil cheat kidddies are gunna get their accounts banned

didn't they do that already?

isn't that what Steam is for?

 

[The Dark Elf]

didn't they do that already?

isn't that what Steam is for?

steam is just a delivery app really, with accounts being banned mostly by hand with someone checking up on things, vac2 is the anti-cheating part that'll handle a lot of the more boring parts automatically or something along those lines.
