Tactics and Strategy - Half-Life 2: Deathmatch

[Chris D]

A couple of months ago, forum member, Rickdeckard sent me a "newbies" guide to Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. At first I was rather offended and I replied back with "I ain't no newbie, fool!", but then I realised what he was actually trying to do is to submit the guide to us for content on the site.
[br]
The guide sat in my inbox for a while but now we've got the new sections on the site I thought it'd be perfect to upload so everyone can improve on their Half-Life 2: Deathmatch skills. The guide has been edited a bit by our very own ComradeBadger. So, if you want to take a look, then please check it out by clicking either one of the links below:

Additionally, if you fancy yourself as a bit of a help guide writer, editing guru, game server monkey, modelling master or expert in any area you think Halflife2.net should cover, then please drop me your work by e-mail to [email protected].

The slam guide is posted twice.

EDIT: And the basic playing tips guide is missing the link at the end.

Very nice work Rickdeckard and CB!

Nice work.
Just wanted to add something at the Grav gun though. I find that if I have my crowbar, and strafe around them coming closer, I wil eventually be behind the object and infront of the player, free to swing his head off. (I sometimes only play with nades, grav guns, and crowbars)

At the VERY END of the Basic Playing tips, you need to correct the link so that it leads to the weapons guide.

Found a bit of a bug in the new article system. Should be ironed out now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Thanks heaps Rickdeckard, CB and Chris_D.
Your guide inspired me to play HL2DM for the first time ever last night.
