i think its terrible. Why no hl2 multiplayer? I mean wow....... even doom3 had mp.
 
Counter-strike source is the multiplayer component of it.

Some people complain yea, but I mean, how often to do you play HLDM?
 
I'm not worried about it...VALVe or someone in there garage/basement will make a HL2 themed multiple egg merchant...I mean multiplayer after it is released
 
...CS:S is hl2 mp....there's also DoD:S and apparently TFC:S too.....ALL multiplayer....
 
I never play HLDM. I played it 3 times total of the what 4 years i've had it? But it was pretty fun. :)
 
Who needs hl2 multiplayer when you got CS:S??
Really who played the original Half-Life multiplayer??
I know i didn't.
 
Stand Back Everyone!!

The Dummy Has Been Thrown From The Pram!!

exactly. im not gonna play a 5 year old game for 5 more years
 
i believe that no multiplayer is absolute bs based on this.

If Counter-Strike source was to be the Half-Life 2 component for multiplayer then it would not be getting released tomorrow. This i feel is because obvioulsy VU would have rights like it does over HL2 so it would ship with it. Valve stated they would not talk about their multiplayer component because they wanted it to be secret. They have not mentioned i believe that Counter-Stike source is the multiplayer but have just released it to draw the Cs community who would not buy Hl2 otherwise.

To the mag reviews, maybe the people who reviewed the game played a non rc complete version. In saying this they had no multiplayer option in order to conceal what it is they want a suprise.

Basically this is my version of what is happening because i don't believe that Valve would release HL 2 without a multiplayer of its own because there is just to much potential for a good multiplayer !!!!!

thanks :)
 
because its quite a big component of most games, and people almost expect them these days :)

i brought battlefield 1942 recently so i could play DC ! , heh it rocks
 
hl2 seriosly needed its own oroginal mp.
 
Doom3 multi player, sucked.

no really it did, it sucked really really bad. It was no different from the multiplayer with a thousand other games, for example.. identical to the MP in Red Faction. Nothing new, nothing inovative, and very very dull, very very fast.
 
i still wanted to use manipulator in a closed down City17 street, throwin cars at peeps
 
I don't consider CS:S "HL2" multiplayer. its still 5 year old HL1 modified multiplayer with some new make-up. As "re-made" as they want to call it, Its still the same game. but thats just my opinion.

im with you on that opinion
 
hopefully we'll get the SDK sooner than later. ive sent ANOTHER email to someone at valve today, asking about it.
 
Im not that worried about it I know valve has one hell of a MP experience created for us, that they have been working on for the past 6 years, that I think we will all love very much, that has been built on the source engine, and its called....TeamFortress2! I also believe that vavle has saved alot of their MP goodies to put into this game.
 
i think that hl2dm would be fun to mess around with just because of all of the new possibilities of source. also tfc is such a classic, that it would be awesome if they were to go through with that in source version. im satisfied with css, because that is what i mainly play now adays anyway. im not really worried about it because i KNOW that a hl2dm mod will be out VERY quickly since its would be a relatively simple mod to make and its very wanted.
 
In the leaked source, there was an option to start a server and play online and the maps were c17 ,bugbait, phystown, and lots of others. Basically the maps that were some of the levels in the game. So they were developing a working hl2 multiplayer. We will all have to just wait and see. Why argue about it. I don't really care. Never once played hl1 mp. But I did play cs for a couple of years.
 
dont worry guys. a group of people are already getting ready to mod hldm with 20 different modes i belive. the thread on it is somewhere around this fourm i just cant find it

edit: too lazy i mean, even though it would take less effort to find it than editing this....
 
lol

Jeez cmon man, i used to want to play hl1 DM and well ther was HARDLY any populated servers, hl1 dm SUCKS face it. its just not that fun.

You missed out on a lot, when there was no CS or barely any mods it was KING of the MP :)

I hope so, but I doubt it. The reviews are official information about the game distributed by Valve to the gaming public (via magazines). Why would they distribute mis-information such as "There is no MP apart from CS:S" when they could just have easily said "There will be an additional MP component, but it will not be revealed until the game ships"?

Yes, the former would make it a big surprise, but it would be dishonest, and could cost them some fans (unlikely given the notoriety of the title, but you never know). Whereas the latter keeps people's hopes up and makes them clamour for the release even more, generating more publicity for Valve (who promise a ground-breaking MP, for example - every news source would post about that).

So, yes, it's possible, but from a marketing stand-point, I doubt it. Then again, they blissfully lied about Sept 30 (as Fragmaster says, they knew months before that it wouldn't happen), so who knows what retarded PR stunt they'll pull next.
 
I loved hldm, and I still play it today, I really HATE how people are throwing out things like "No one plays hldm anymore" and "hldm Sucks, no one wants it". Keep your opinions to yourself, as there ARE people who want it. I am looking forward to CSS as much as the next person, but I still want hl2dm!
 
I'm not the slightest bit interested in CS:S at all. I feel very disapointed that there (seems) to be no HL2:DM. I absolutely loved HLDM, I can remember a few days during the school holidays where I spent 8+ hours playing it and doing nothing else.

Unfortunately there aren't really any other DM games that I've played that quite capture the uniqueness of HL:DM. Farcry multiplayer comes close, but it's still a ways off.

dont worry about it .. i honesty dont think thay will leve anything as big as hl2dm out as thay know about a lot of hl fans not likeing cs and vice verser ... if its not out on releas it will be out in a mod or something .. dont forget there working verry closely with some surten moders out there
 
Chances: 95% it'll be released with HL2
100% it'll be released eventually



What did they say about having vehicles in multiplayer? I don't think I've imagined it.
 
Yeah, HL2 mp would've been kinda fun, instead of CS:Sucks, but what are ya gonna do?
 
The thing I like about DM is the fact that its still fun with only four people, while CS with four people is bollox.
I used to set up a private server after school and invite some of my buds to join in and frag a bit. You know, camp long and dirty without some kid yelling "WFT f00king campzor, leave n00b 0r I |2 reportzor your a$$"
In my eyes, its more challaging and fun playing against some people you know, than anonymous people online.
HLDM was excellent for this, so I was hoping for HL2DM, you know, throw a matrass on someone
 
doesnt matter much to me.

Sure its disappointing as there is TONS of potential with HL2MP, but CS:S will do....i guess
 
This...might have nothing to do with anything, but you know when I see stuff like this I think, man, how could they NOT have made a HL2DM out of maps like this? Its perfect for it!

dam right there ... that be wicked as a dm map .. i loved watching that map in the bink demos was cooooool
 
i'm disappointed. i think its pretty lazy as well. i really didn't care as much if there was a deathmatch (i still figured it would come with hl2 kind of like the quake deathmatch for hl1), but i definately thought vavle would come up with some sort of creative hl2 themed multiplayer. counterstrike definately isn't as fun like FOUR years later. its about time for a change...
