Just had my first quick game of gmdm2 this evening, as kindly hosted by Azelito and organised by KoRn. Thanks to them and r00ts who also turned up.

It was great fun, and apart from KoRn's horrible lag when the boulder approached - he's on 56k - there were no real technical problems. It appears that this map works okay online.

I had an absolute blast, as the map seems to work just as I had intended. It was really quite a surreal experience for me, and I'm not alone. Someone (r00ts I think) described it as "the work of a mad scientist". I don't think I can better that description. There was so much going on and so much to mess about with.

Even with only 4 players it wasn't too quiet. There was plenty of shotgun combat of course, but also good moments of just about everything else (including the Xbow. I sniped and was sniped). Plus lots and lots of satchelling.

Probably my favourite moment was when Azelito managed to use one of my own doors to trap me. I only survived because I'm battery-hoarding scum; it was a simple but very effective use of the map features to gain an advantage, even over its author

That was me I believe, in the end I had the score -4 - 32 or something, damn doors were all traps and I managed to kill myself where ever

Its a amazing map. What more is there to say?

Oh yea, being chased by the boulder is the worst experience ever!!!

The one thing you should do, before downloading Steam, is copy all your HL resources somewhere. Alternatively, just don't tell Steam to delete the old copy of HL.

Steam is great. Honestly

I wouldn't mind joining for a round sometime.

and Aze, you can have both WON and Steam running on your computer, they don't interact, but you can still have both (I personally do )

heh, stupid me.. i did a search in maps, and it came up...

I havnt played it with any partners yet, but its a really smoooooth map. The shots dont dont what an easy map it is to move around in... which is key for dm maps. nice nice ; )
