topshot Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I've got a good caption for that pic. "Holy smokes! They threw in everything AND the kitchen sink!" I've never even played Half-Life before......
StormHammer Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 And the surprise is... ...it kills all of your Source games. YAY! Now I can't play HL2 SP, HL2 DM or CS:S The disc spins up - and nothing happens. Brilliant. Now I can gnash my teeth to splinters in frustration and play the 'waiting' game until they fix this POS. And no, I'm not the only one. Hundreds of people are reporting the same thing. Valve seems intent on annoying their fanbase at every opportunity with this sequel.
Rad Blackrose Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Did you purchase through Steam or did you grab one of the store boxes? I haven't had a single problem (using Steam) except whenever I try to use HL:S. Although I have heard quite the uproar over the problems with the storebough boxes.

I just installed DM, played it abit, seemed fine. After I read your post I checked CS:S, works fine as well.
StormHammer Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I have the retail (DVD) edition released in the UK. A member of the steam forums initially thought the retail version was the problem - but apparently some who purchased through steam have experienced this problem as well. At this rate I will never be purchasing another product from Valve if it requires steam activation. The hassle simply is not worth it.
IG-64 Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Well, mines retail CD, maybe that makes a diffrence *shrugs*
Mex Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 They fixed the crash problem hours ago. Anyways, HL2DM is awesome. I'm going to go back to playing now.
GonkH8er Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 I never knew flinging toilets at people could be so much fun
Crow_Nest Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Half-Life 2 Deathmatch lags too much, more than CS:S and other games. I know you are probably asking why. Its the FREAKIN ZERO-POINT ENERGY FIELD MANIPULATOR's FAULT!!!

I don't see why everyone is complaining about this lag, I've got a rubbish machine and a average connection and I don't seem to get any at all.
Elijah Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 mmm, I havnt been gaming for MONTHS... I didnt Realize I was so distant from the gameing scene... when did HL2 come out?
Mex Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 It came out around the 16th. Edit: Had a game around an hour ago, was awesome and I finished in the lead.
Alegis Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 All of you grav gun whores played it when it was out and was laggy as hell... don't really like it with too many people... anyone up for a game ring me on xfire
Crow_Nest Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Originally posted by Pal™ It came out around the 16th. Edit: Had a game around an hour ago, was awesome and I finished in the lead. Good, but not good enough im afraid. [HLF]SparkyX and i were fighting for 1st place. Originally posted by Pal™ I don't see why everyone is complaining about this lag, I've got a rubbish machine and a average connection and I don't seem to get any at all. well maybe its because not many people are using the gravity gun. Or there are just too little players, the map that lags the most is dm_overwatch, thats nightmare.
StormHammer Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I'm trying to stick to servers with no more than 8 maximum players. It's a lot less choppy with smaller numbers. Anyway, if you stumble across BlackBow somewhere, it could be me. I'm just an average player.
Crow_Nest Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 People could actually have less deaths, but unfortunetly the enemy so happens to be at your spawn point and you get killed instantly.

And there are spawn campers. It would be good if they added invulnerability for a few seconds on spawning to sort out that problem. It would also be good if one of the spawn points wasn't in direct view of the rocket launcher position in the Overwatch map. Spawn...boom. Spawn...boom. Not fun. The lockdown map is a lot more balanced - but still prone to spawn campers.
Crow_Nest Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 dm_lockdown gets kinda diffuclt if there are more than 8 players, the map is indoor thats why. But doesnt lag as much as overwatch.
Evil Dark Jedi Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I havent played Half Life before but I decided to download the demo. Its ok but not as good as Halo.
Crow_Nest Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Duh, half-life is so old already who wants to play it when you've got Half-Life 2?
Mex Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Originally posted by Evil Dark Jedi I havent played Half Life before but I decided to download the demo. Its ok but not as good as Halo. What? I'm a Halo fan and even I have to admit that Half-Life (And HL2) put Halo 2 to shame. I had to face the truth after a while, Halo 2 is no where as good as I had thought it would be. The ragdoll physics are rubbish, half the time I teleport and go through things in the floor. Theres no aiming what so ever, you just dual wield, hold the triggers and hope for the best. Anyways, heres a few games I had today. Almost won! Won that one. Heres a little video that me and some friends made, we spent like 1-2 hours just trying to sort out the office. It took a while but it was strangely worth it. Click
