Someone create a server!

UPDATE: Try joining 24.36.2.222 in a few minutes. Someone's server should be up!

26.5MB & German (I think). Is it worth downloading? (any English versions?)

I'm not gonna try working with a makeshift multiplayer, I'll just wait till the real mods come out.

It is in English when you download it (and also the readme)

I've been playing on a few servers. After you die once, you cant die unless by an explosion. There's quite a bit of lag,and the game will crash if you rocket at someone's feet. Fun though!

Here's the continuing thread on server IPs:

If someone would make a real server and actually keep it running I might still try it at least.

screw HLDM, Co-Op mode was foudn in HL2, run a server with that, need to find the forum that had the info about it though, as it wasnt steam or neowin forums.

No Servers for HL2-DM

I can't stay on a server long enough to play because they keep shutting down :(

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

i think they are crashing not just shutting down. HL2DM (as well as HL2Co-Op) are still unstable

loads of bugs :p

Ok question guys.  My gf came home from work today and said that one of the guys she works with said he got the HL2 CE version but when he went to install it he had to D/L the entire 4+gig of HL2 in order to play.  Is this true?  I was under the impression that the DVD would have the full game and the extra's as well.  wtf?

he bought it off steam if you buy the dvd you get it all off there and you just have to activate it off steam

hmm, it's running late :(

Planet Half-Life has an update from Erik Johnson at Valve stating that the patch may be delayed a day for additional testing:

We're still working through some testing on this release. It might be something we'll want to hold for another day and release tomorrow.

Also, I have received a number of emails asking if the texture management fix will also work for stuttering problems in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. I have emailed Gary McTaggart about this and will post an update as soon as I hear back. I am guessing that Vampire has the same inherent problem based on the reports I'm seeing, but I do not know what kind of arrangement Troika Games has with Valve as far as receiving Source engine updates.

- Screen Shots

Just thought I would post 2 screenshots from my 100+ screenshot folder from HL2 (hey it was a magic moment I had to take screenies :D)

http://img20.exs.cx/img20/4364/d3_breen_010004.jpg <- :laugh: (this ones fine even if you have not played the game it dont give nothing away at all)

http://img95.exs.cx/img95/7505/d3_breen_010008.jpg <- This one is a MAJOR spoiler so DO NOT look at this unless you have BEATEN the game.

Fine, I removed the pictures...as if the heading wasn't big enough! I don't know how to link them because I have no user space - that's why I added them to the message.

Oh well, they've gone - go back to your happy land if you must.

So I bought the game Saturday and completed it today.

although i'm pleased with it, i feel the plot wasn't very good at all. there wasn't very much character development, and the story was too basic. I no longer felt like I was 'on my own'.

The friendly characters where annoying to say the least...i can't even count the number of times they'd just stand in a doorway stopping me getting out.

Graphically amazing, but gameplay-wise, not very taxing at all :(
