Thursday, February 17 2005

At approximately 4:00 pm PST we'll be releasing an update that primarily focuses on Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. This update will include the addition of the Stunstick, SLAM, and the Crowbar. It will also include a new original map made by Valve, called Steamlab.

Along with the update to the game, we'll be releasing the source code for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch in an update to the Source SDK, which should give our MOD community a wide range of functionality they can use to build their games. We're all excited to see what is built based off of it. The update to the SDK will also allow MOD developers to write their own custom shaders, which will lead to some unique visuals in their games.

Looking ahead to next week, we're still on track for the Counter-Strike update, which will include a new map called cs_compound, along with a number of smaller changes and bug fixes.

gotta get me some coffee

I fell asleep at about 8.45pm. Woke up at 9.30pm on the sofa. Been feeling so tired all day and was definitely ready for bed (mainly because I went out and got quite drunk last night), but I check my e-mails first. On the off-chance, I restart Steam and see this update.

Yeah, I aint going bed now until I've played it

 

[.syL]

hehe, THAT's the spirit!!

Almost feels like the really good old cs days...the excitment just before beta 7 was released...DRIVEABLE VEHICLES!!! We played jeepathon_2k for hours. And then, after 1.1 cs started sucking real hard...oh well, at least I'll have time to get some AG2 skills

(omg, that's the coffee talking...or the weed)

 

[ComradeBadger]

Wait, shit, today's the 17th |:

Oh bollocks bollocks bollocks :|

Time to stay up and play ;(

 

[.syL]

you didn't know that? Did you think we were just staying up for the heck of it?

btw, I recommend the HLCCL servers, if you wanna play later. I play on the league server a lot, but we could try out the TDM one

I await its release with open arms! I can't wait to play the new map with the extra weapons.

 

[ktimekiller]

thank god thats after my mom leaves for work!

 

[poseyjmac]

excited

 

[diluted]

The 'slam' is a tripmine, right? That should liven things up a bit... as DM is right now, I find it very repetitive with the limited amount of weapons.
