Posted by Zonk on from the frag-this-grey-man dept.

Satertek writes "Following up a previous post, a teaser was posted on the Steam website with the image HL2DM.jpg entitled 'Soon', confirming rumors of a Half-Life 2 Multiplayer Deathmatch game. It was also brought up on the forums by Valve. It will be released alongside the SDK sometime this week." Update: 12/01 13:49 GMT by T : Since this was written, "this week" has turned into "now"; the update was released last night.

  1. Hey, tell me if this is sufficient by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I see the HL2 specs - sure - but could anyone tell me from real or close experience, should I even bother with HL2 on an Athlon 2800 w/a 5700 Ultra ? Or is that too slow of a geforce? a year ago they said you'd *have* to have an ATI but the specs for the game are really low..

    In Korea, only old people have deathmatches.

    How can I "demo" HL2 without stealing it or playing a friends computer (none of my friends have it)? I tried asking in Steampowered forums but it's no go.

    Since it's a source engine game, ... what about Vampire "Bloodlines" ?

    I wonder if MP ability will follow for it too now?

    Only old Koreans mod funny posts as insightful or interesting.

    I have a question about the backups you can make with Steam. Is it possible for me to burn the HL2 files to a dvd, and then have my friend able to install HL2 using that dvd (he has his own steam account and bought the game but is on dialup so downloading the game is well.. rough)... not sure how valve handles this..

  9. I Want good console CO-OP by robertjw · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This brings up a good point. Does anyone know of a really good multiplayer, four person, co-op game for a console (PS2, gamecube, xbox)? Can be any genre - doesn't have to be fps.

    My brother-in-law has a 96" projector screen in the basement and it's a blast to play on, but we would like to have a cooperative game to play. Played Halo 2 last weekend, but the co-op was only two people.

    Any suggestions???

    Imagine that, no moron filter. Maybe Slashdot should have some kind of karma system to help hide morons. They could let users put users on their foe lists and maybe two more features. That would be cool, and then you wouldn't have to complain about morons on my interweb.

    I wish there was a moron filter on the interlink.

    Then that would make them smart old people. No one wants to see this shit. Way to propogate the herd mentality "we all say the same retarded things" way of posting around here.
