After teasing players for a few days, Valve has “announced”:http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=news&id=364 the availability of a Deathmatch add-on for Half-Life 2. It is only available via Steam, so of course all of the servers are completely slammed at the moment. The download features 2 levels, and all players start with a gravity gun, pistol, SMG, and grenades, and you can pick up the rest of the weapons throughout the levels.
Valve also released the Half-Life 2 SDK, to help all of the inevitable mods get under way.
There is also a level design contest, where the winner will take home $5,000, along with 2 runner-up prizes of $3,000.
Shit yeah!
and the level design contest will encorage some damn good maps to be made. Thinks are looking good for HL2 fans.
Good stuff. Nothing beats knocking someone out cold with a swift toilet to the head. Gives new meaning to crappy aim. ;)
Two words and I’ll exit stage left!
