Half-Life 2 Surprise = Deathmatch [Nov 30, 2004, 8:32 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A post by Valve's Adrian Finol to the
Steam Users Forums (thanks MonkeyBrains) reveals that Half-Life 2 deathmatch
is the surprise announcement they recently hinted about (story).
The post simply links to this
image, which says the proverbial thousand words about our upcoming
opportunity to throw more than just the kitchen sink at each other.
"There are tons of fast servers (pings < 100), but they fill up immediately... "
That's the thing. They al show up with <100 pings but when you connect, lag city. It's been unplayable for me so far.
If I remember right HL's netcode sucked huge piles of ass when it first came out too.
Steam forums are down. I wonder if this is due to server load, or if they do this after a release to avoid the inital shitstorm of pissed off users.
