IT's not a big thing GTA =) and it is possibly a client side thing?
And as Zoggy said after like 2-3 hrs of gaming you start to realise the game didnt change much. But some things are broken, like the Physic hitbox is buggy , the fast orb is weird, smg gained a little more power , movement is crippled , but mostly it's the same thing Oh and xbow shooting is SHIT! :[

i find the game seriously lags when you get 10- 16 players on a server. I mean unplayable laggy, like the server cant handle the amount of players. Never happened before the update.

For all those unhappy with the current valvel hl2dm change, you can always download AG2
www.hl2dmpro.com
This game is on orange box but is just like the original, you can player HL2MP or AG2 , its an option in the game, to switch back and forth also this has better bhop physics, as well as long jump module to spice things up LOL....

Don't get me wrong I never said it was the dogs bollocks.
Some of you might be experiencing problems and I can relate to.
I have a very fast i7 and that might be masking a lot of problems that are manifesting themselves on others machines.
For the record, here is one of the post I put on my home clan forum ~

" I think the problem with the xbow is that you can no longer see the bolts as well - they are moving faster I think. That also seems to make the reaload time slower but I am still not sure if it could actually be slower. If you don't kill first shot it is harder to adjust your aim based on the previous bolt's trajectory. Its like a first aim every shot now.

I dont know if its just me but I am having a hard job seeing the conbine balls in the ball spawner in some maps. I have tried adjusting the brightness and various combinations of vidio seetings in the game options and also externaly with my monitor but it makes little or no difference. Anybody any ideas?

As Dav points out the timing is different with the nade/grav gun combo. I used to toss the nade slightly up and ahead and now when I do this it is going over the top of me . So a little less elevation is helping quite a bit.

Once again this seems to be problems with the grav gun and seeing what you are catching and throwing. Its especially noticable with the combine ball when you first catch/grab it and are moving in a straight line. Its difficult to know if you have actually picked it up. I was trying to pick up clues from the sounds but it too subtle to hear if there is a lot going on. The whole thing with combine ball seems to be a lot faster as well. Its hard to catch the ar2 fired combine ball with the grav gun if you are static. You neeed the forward momentum to be certain of a catch and if you don't get it completly right the ball flys of in a random direction.

The lifts are not that bad and I have seen some players using them almost as if nothing had happened - once again slight timing changes pay dividends.

Fundamentally the game is the almost the same as before and I think I can bring my play back to what it was by making the adjustments that are necessary. I have however yet to try 600g. This I recon might be a bit more problematical and may mean a change in basic tactics."


Yes, I am having difficulties as well but I don't see them as unsurmountable. I am not a major league player but I have derived a lot of enjoyment over the last 4 years from the game and made a lot of friends. It is easy to slate Steam for the actions but at the end of the day they are there to make money. I paid £19 for the game a long time back and now it is free so it is not unreasonable that Steam don't give it the support they used to.

If you all love the game as much as I do then stop moaning and get on with it. At the end of the day it is an old game and if the changes redress the balance in the favour of the less skilled player then that is a good thing. I don't see many hl2dm clan membership applications anywhere and that speaks volumes.
It was always going to end up like this. It was just a matter of time.
I hope some of us will remain faitfull and keep the game going a bit longer. In whatever guise, there is nothing yet to touch it for the size of the community that was or the game itself.

I must agree with Zog.

First of all , lifts have delay? erm... I thought that thay are the same as thay were.
Secondly, the Xbow bolts are not going faster or the reload speed is longer , it is just the fact that Xbow shoots with a delay , that is why it is impossible to shoot with it :[ But i get by
And Zog is right , tha game is pretty much the same , just the movement is SLOWER ... thats a bummer. Maybe VaLve will be so kind and UNF*CK it up ? )

movement was the most important thing to me, now its broken, bhop still works but not as good as before. it was a good 4 years, now I´ll probably hardly play it at all.
