Garry's Mod 2007 Beta

[Operational]

Has anyone else given this a try? I've been playing around with it for the past 20mins or so. At the moment it seems to just be interface improvements with Portal, TF2 and Ep2 content, although Garry has put in a gun which shoots Hunter Flechettes.

As I understand it this is the first in a sequence of beta updates, for instance at the moment you can't seem to spawn a companion cube because it shares the same model as a regular cube (the blue team in TF2 is the same) but it is something that will be possible in the final version - it was shown on Garry's blog.

Also pitting Hunters against Antlion workers is all kinds of epic.

One bug I noticed was when you change your weapon it repeats the same sound over and over everytime you highlight a new weapon. Probaly fixed now.

BTW you can get the instructions for installing the Beta here but you have to have an forum account with facepunch because, in theory, you are getting the Beta to help Garry by reporting any bugs you find. While you need Episode Two for the Beta it won't be needed for the final release/update.
