If you own HL2 you have probably been prompted to play/download HL2DM, and read about the mapping contest. What is HL2DM?

A deathmatch game on the Source Engine, with HL weapons and such. Including the gravity gun Shocked

Going to play it now. Report later.

Stayed home from work today...wasn't feeling too well. Crying or Very sad

Started doing some long awaited maintainence on my machine here. When I cracked open steam...saw the HL2DM...and gave it a try.

WOOHOO....not too bad at all. And yes, you have the grave gun by default when you spawn. I only played one level, but recognised it as one of the levels in HL2. You'll prolly recognise it also.

I got a toilet kill with the grav gun...fricking amazing... Laughing

PLayed for a few minutes, didn't do so good. Quit at around 34- 45. But yeah, grav gun kills are so sweet. (And fairly common). It's only a matter of time till there's some grav gun only maps.

I Played on a few servers. Didn't do bad but most servers are a little laggy. Still maybe after a few weeks it will be fixed. Only 2 maps so far but i heard there will be more. Still the few servers i went to playing it was a blast! Razz Exclamation

I downloaded and installed the dedicated server software for hl2dm... Laughing

Yes...this means we could occasionally run this and have some fun. Something I noticed...as I watched the files download, I saw references to just about every entity and creature in the game...including the striders, vehicles and helicopters.

Although they are not currently being used...this could get very interesting as development continues...Shocked

LAg will likely be a problem for a while with the game. In a 20 person game, if half are using the gravity gun, that is a LOT of different entities moving around the map. I was playing a 32 player server had a ping around 200; the lowest I saw was 110. I'd image a 14 player server would be much better ping-wise.

A 14 person DM is better some of the few severs with less lag has less people but a went to a few servers with about 20 people with no lag it kind of depends where you live pretty much.
