Then you have read wrong, the contest winners are to be released (posted at steampowered) on the 28th. The "datacore" map and the 3 new weapons are to be released tomarrow. The HDR "lost coast" is later on I believe (I mean valve needs to post the min. requirements for the HDR, and have you DL the map). And I have yet to hear of the single player map/or even the "expansion" pack that everyone seems to be raving about (I still have yet to believe them because no one has given me a link to where valve actually said they are making an expansion).

edit: read about it here: http://www.steampowered.com/Steam/Marketing/Feb4.2005/?l=
This says "in the comming months" for the HDR.

Time zones: If anything valve releases it in their standard time, which happens to be Pacific standard time (where I am ) the rest of the world has to wait. Thats how the release of HL2 was, 12:00 midnight here was when everyone started playing .

If you read the contest rules, then you would know that the contest winners have been notified by now, their maps will be released/posted on the 28th at steampowered and they cannot tell anyone about it, so if the winner was here, then we wouldnt know about it, its all about that contract junk.

More like a silly grin with drool dribbing down the corner of the mouth. Oh boy, the anticipation is unbearable.

Me anticipates that the steam download servers will be more full than ever before. Arm yourselves with patience and a few days off.

This is where ill say steam sucks, because everyone will be updating at the same time, sucking up the bandwith.

I could almost hear the echos in the forum right now. It's so empty because everyone is playing the HL2DM with the new weapons (or waiting for their computer to finish updating Steam). I am stuck at work, after working for twelve hours straight already. I am about to shutdown myself. [addsig]

New map is pretty cool, a very nice reimagining of datacore. I couldn't figure out what the wheel in the RPG room did though, anybody enlighten me as to its purpose? I'm loving the SLAM (even though I haven't been able to use it yet) and I also like that the stunstick and crowbar are team exclusive - kinda encourages a bit of thought into what player model you choose (stunstick all the time IMO ).

The combination of slam and physics should prove interesting. I can imagine some nice little traps, using the slam and concealing it with props. With all the little dark corners in hl2dm maps, the camping should be quite good.

I enjoy the SLAM, it was that aspect that was missing in HL2. When I first loaded the new map, I ended up in a familiar part of the map, I thought to my self, now this looks familiar, this is the imfamous dead end.

I also like that frag grenades have a secondary fire now to throw them short distances

They always had that...

Anyways, the crowbar is awesome, as is datacore revisited. I don't know if I like the stunstick as it seems to be slower, but that's probably just because I'm not used to it. Now I just need to find a server where the opposition doesn't completely suck, seeing as I just dominated three different steamlab servers while going crowbar-only :/

ReNo, the wheel in the RPG room does the same as the wheel in the old Gauss pipe room, it causes a delayed explosion that kills anybody trying to get those weapons.

Man, you're that good huh? I wouldn't want to be your opponent. I am probably one of those sucky opposition you referred to.
