Hl2: DM update

[{I}{K}{E}]

At approximately 4:00 pm PST we'll be releasing an update that primarily focuses on Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. This update will include the addition of the Stunstick, SLAM, and the Crowbar. It will also include a new original map made by Valve, called Steamlab.

Along with the update to the game, we'll be releasing the source code for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch in an update to the Source SDK, which should give our MOD community a wide range of functionality they can use to build their games. We're all excited to see what is built based off of it. The update to the SDK will also allow MOD developers to write their own custom shaders, which will lead to some unique visuals in their games.

Looking ahead to next week, we're still on track for the Counter-Strike update, which will include a new map called cs_compound, along with a number of smaller changes and bug fixes.

yea but they always update shit so whats the big mistake? ;)

[Money Fist]

well once it was released (HL2 v1) they must of got a shit load of forum complaints about DM mode missing
its funny because DM was in HL1 v1
and that HL2 is supposed to be more advanced than HL1 in every way
so big design mistake

if we rewound time back to when we were all waiting for that DM update u would be wholeheartedly agreeing with me

an almost flawless MP mode implemented within a few weeks. i think it was a clever marketing experiment. i doubt it wasn't finished on time
