I don't think Valve intended anyone to be playing it for long tho, which is why we only got two maps. and they want other people to make maps for 'em
I think it was to appease the masses that wanted Deathmatch. Financially supporting a deathmatch mode I dont think would pay off for them in the long run, so they release an extremely basic package and let the public make the maps.
I've been saying this all along, you can't argue with the 50,000+ people playing CounterStrike at any given time compared to the 300 people playing HLDM at any given time.
Personally I'd rather they just focus on DoD:Source and the new single player levels they stated they are working on. But at least make HL2DM playable, cus its horrible atm.
