Re: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair
Some people like chocolate ice cream, others prefer vanilla. I don't play games for the realistic experience, team play, or social interaction. Screw the team, if it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, plug it just to be sure. I'm number one! I killed *everyone*. Me! Me! I! I personally despise round based games, and refuse to play them.

RE: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair
Wow. Read my post. I offered up the fact this list is for >>>>servers<<<<< of all kinds, not just CS:S AND I included a request for valve to fix HL2DM as well. The meaningless banter is your friend's novel about how much better HL2DM is than CS:S. I love playing both these games AND yes I agree HL2DM is "neglected" in a sense (as compared to CS:S). I am sure everyone realizes this is strictly a business decision on Valve's part to focus on the games which have more users. Again, Valve, please fix HL2DM - this is a great game! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phoenix Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 10:31 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair Meaningless banter to you maybe, but not for all of us. I happen to agree with everything he said. The updates always seem to be for CS. HL2DM has so many bugs and yet it seems to be always ignored. Correct me if I am wrong, but this is the dedicated server mailing list. Where else should we post server problems? The steam forums are worthless, unless you enjoy reading mind numbing responses. The earlier post from the steam forums that Kyrios pointed out, is a very good list of some "Major" issues with this game. The maps from the contest were promised to be released a while ago... still nothing. I have also made a few posts regarding possibly having some kind of pre-match, restart rd, or even an option to choose which team you want to join at the start of a team dm game, and I have only gotten one response. The response I got said to use mani-mod... that is not an option for me at this time. I just want to use a built in cvar for these things... just like the ones available for all the other team games. Have you ever tried to start a clan match on a team dm server? It is a pain in the @ss. These are legitimate server issues that I don't think should be ignored, and to my knowledge this is the only real place to voice our opinions or questions.

Re: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair
Sry if I missunderstood something.
In my eyes crying around ("Valve hates HL2DM") isn't a server discussion.
If it's really about server bugs, and not about missing maps I'm totally sorry

RE: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair
The whole point is that if you can die and have to wait the rest of the round on the bench, there is a real risk and it makes the experience real. Game theory goes into risk and reward. With Deathmatch there is no real risk. No team play, no social interaction, no organization, no strategy etc I hate it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mikee Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 11:49 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair Oh, I understand the realities...but I find it ironic that Valve's legendary new game that was released last fall was called Half-Life 2, not Counter-Strike 2.

RE: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair
Thanks for your clarification on "a coon's age" - but your posts still smack of "I am better than you." You will also notice that Valve's legendary new game which was released was called Half-Life 2 NOT HL2DM! HL2DM and CS:S (yes they had a new name for this as well) were both released at the same time for everyone's enjoyment. Some of us prefer one over the other for many different reasons. It doesn't make your preference any better than the next guys. Quit wasting list space with your meaningless banter. That being said, Valve, we would like to see some more updates to HL2DM. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mikee Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 8:49 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair Oh, I understand the realities...but I find it ironic that Valve's legendary new game that was released last fall was called Half-Life 2, not Counter-Strike 2.

Re: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair
My favorite CS 1.6 map is iceworld because it's a small map and everyone dies within a minute, unless two nubbies are camping on the opposite side of the map behind a wall. It's a fast-paced map because everyone picks up a gun that's available and starts shooting. I hate going into regular servers where the round time is default (5 minutes) and there are players on each team that camp the spawn area and wait for the opponent to cross their path. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair
You are rightI just had to rant my frustration for a moment. I forgot that no one wants to hear about any problems on this list unless they relate to Counterstrike, Counterstrike, or Counterstrike. Just ignore my rant.

RE: [hlds] HL2DM inherently unfair
I hardly post on this mailing list anymore, but after reading this email I had to comment. If at all possible, would people please stick to clean discussion. Heated (but justified) discussion I of course welcome with open arms, but I think I'm speaking on the behalf of others when I say that language as seen in this post is unacceptable and unwelcome in any community, nevermind this one. In a faceless medium such as the internet, it becomes even more apparent then reality that racial slurs are not necessary. A mailing list about the administration of gaming servers doesn't require the use of words like "coon" to make something stick out. Sorry to those that have - for whatever reason - objected to this post. If you do object, email me privately instead of trying to duke it out publicly. Here's hoping this post improves things here.
