installing now what a nice early xmas present

Played DM this morning and it was *very* laggy.

BUT

It gave me enormous pleasure ripping a bathtub from it's fixings and using it to kill 8)

no crowbar

I managed to get everything up and running in a couple of minutes. So far my experiences with STEAM have been very pleasing. I've had no trouble really. It is a bit laggy, but at least we have a DM mode now, it's better than waiting for a mod team to create a multiplayer for it. Obviously it's going to need tweaking, but so far it's been rather good (a lot like the DM in the original IMO). I got addicted to it for a while.

I know what you mean Zappster, also reminds me a lot of the original dm from HL. Not too laggy for me tbh but it'll improve as we go along. I just want some team dm now, all this dm action is a bit frantic these days...lol!

I like the way they default you to the gravity gun when you spawn, just to encourage you and enforce the point.

I want to see some gravity gun only servers, that would be cool. I'm also excited that the full SDK is out, it should mean new maps and stuff for CS:Source and HL2 (I'd love to see a remake of the crossfire dm map that Valve had for the original HL). I can't wait

Imagine some decent mods talking full advantage of Source's facial animation capabilities.

It wouldn't surprise me if a number of Half-Life 2 mod developments end up being more highly produced than actual full-time developed games. Step up Rogue Agent.

Turns out I can afford a new PC now but I dunno if I can justify it for one game.

Btw, what's the latest with the SDK? Does anyone have it yet or is it due to be released over Steam?

The SDK was mentioned in the same press release as the multi-player announcement.

Might be released at the same time...?

[Zapp$ter]

The full SDK is out now, it was released alongside the Multiplayer update for HL2

[Magnakai]

They're both out now.

The DM is pretty good so far, though it's hard to find a sever that isn't lagged to hell.
Still, no crowbar...

Do you find it's hard to see what your aiming at when using the gravity gun? It got on my nerves a bit in single player and I imagine it'd be much worse in multi with people running around quickly.

It'd be nice if the object you carry was semi transparent.
