The problem is that 90% of reviews make a huge deal out of HL2 not having DM. Well now it will. So there.

Why do you care what reviewers say?

Because I want Half-Life 2 to get the best scores possible and outrank all other games ever made until something better than it comes along.



Also, I don't really care what they say, I just like when smug bastards like them are made wrong. I'm mostly pissed at the larger sites and mags that were really hard on HL2 because it didn't include deathmatch, while they give other shittier game higher scores (Gamespot, anyone?)

Killing zombies with bricks to the head never got old. Here's to hoping there are one hit brick headshots in this~

Sucks to be a HL2DM mod maker right now. Laugh.

I hope it's more compelling than HL1 deathmatch was. Never was a fan of that, just felt uninteresting after a couple hours of playing it, and never really had any desire to return to it.

I think DM wasn't in before as to make the deadline, and now releasing it will cause people who didn't buy it, to buy it...it's a good marketing plan....Someone better make a map with lots of blades....lots of blades....

I say HL1 Deathmatch was expected because it was an unmodded game. There was no such thing as a multiplayer alternative to HL, so they figured "hm, deathmatch".



HL2 is such a different game from CS and others now that I feel it needs a DM / Multiplay.

They [reviews] are always 100% biased, based on the reviewer, and theres no solid truth to any of them, because they're just opinions of some random guy on the inter-web.

Well, yeah...that's what reviews are. They're subjective opinions. This is no secret.



However, they're usually the subjective opinions of people who play a lot of games, and know what they're talking about, and I think it's worth reading their opinions. That doesn't mean you have to accept what they say as the absolute truth.



As for the reviews complaining about the lack of deathmatch, I suppose that was a valid criticism at game launch - very few FPS games don't have deathmatch out of the box. Like you, I'm glad they're adding it after the fact, but that doesn't make the launch criticisms any less (or more) valid.

screw that, keep working on CS:S. Fix the hitbox/netcode problems. Fix the log output so we can get accurate stats. Geezuz.. finish the projects you already have before releasing new ones...

Well at least the SDK will be out so the guys over at amxx can get started on sourcemod.
