Just play HL 2 Multiplayer...

I still cant get HL2 to work.. i play it for 10 minutes and get a Memory Error.. so much for that game

new maps are probably going to be out soon once people finish making them. it just came out today... (or yesterday?) also, the lag is from the game. hopefully there will be a patch soon.

Wow...HL2DM is horrible...I played it for like 5 minutes and got bored and frustrated.

what are the levels like? i havent tried it yet... still too obsessed with CS

The levels some of the same ones from the game. I was playing in a server that has that prison type atmosphere. The problem that I saw at least in the server I was in was:

1. Mad lag. Most people's pings were between 50-100 yet everybody was teleporting everywhere
2. The weapon selection. From what I saw all you could use is the gravity gun, grenades, the pistol and the SMG. Those weapons got boring real quick. Plus the fact that you can unload an entire clip from the SMG on someone and they can still be alive but ANYTIME you are hit with an object thrown at you from somebody's gravity gun you get owned.

HL2 Multiplayer has a way to go to get up to Team Fortress standards...

I'm a TF fiend, so I'm kinda insulted as too what you mean by "Team Fortress Standards".

huh? I mean TF is sweet and HL2 multiplayer aka only DM right now sucks

halo 2 is way cool....i just had an xbox lan party...now the ghost haunts my dreams

Halo 2 is cool but I myself have never found console based FPS multiplayer to be as good as PC based ones. I guess I prefer the comfort and control of a mouse/keyboard combination over the gamepads...

are there any HL1 maps that they remade? that would be kinda cool...

Not at the moment. I suspect the map contest sponsored by Valve will produce some bomb a$$ maps though...possibly some classic ones as well..

that would be sweet... how cool would it be to have a source map of the Hl1 level where you can lock people outside and launch a nuke and blow everyone up..... that would be so much fun....

I get a memory error at a random basis while playing, it even shuts down my computer. I have an area 51m, anyone else geting this??

What is exact error? Did you update your drivers with the latest version available?

That is a VERY know problem with this game, check the steam forums. They are all over it.

Will do guys thanks.

Man, the gravity gun 0wnes in multiplayer!

Seeing this reminds me of this funny quote from Actiontrip.

I fired up HL2 Deathmatch last night after I had it installed on my HDD by the magical Steam software. Aside from the fact that I was getting godawful ping on a broadband connection, I found the whole thing, well, kind of ridiculous. There we all were, carrying around desks and other stuff and throwing it at each other. Is that supposed to be fun? I guess it is to some people. Personally, I found the whole scene rather surreal and silly.

The best part of it though was that when I eventually got tired of flinging objects at other players (and that happened in 10 seconds flat), I switched to an SMG and racked up a bunch of frags while idiots kept trying to fling desks at me. God that was pathetic. Just try to imagine what an AWP whore would do on a larger DM map. On the bright side though, at this rate I will become a pro HL2 DM player, as no one seems to think that bullets still fly faster than toilets. Next thing you know, rabid Valve fanatics will be issued toilet permits.

People are such suckers for stupid novelties. "Ooh, I can throw a toilet at another guy... Ahh..." Here's a ****ing clue, you morons, if toilets were such powerful weapons and flinging large shit that doesn't explode was so ****ing great, the army would still be using catapults instead of cruise missiles.
