Go frawst go..
GG valve :P
alright! I am ready to go modding....
props to valve!
do you have to own hl2 to get the full sdk?
sounds reasonable, but just wondering for knowing's sake...
it sucks for us and it wont launch
-Janson0, yes, you have to own HL2.
w0000000ttttt to VALVe. Thanks for the fairly quick release!
Time to make maps! :D
HL2DM is really, really fun!! There is just something so satisfying about hurling a filing cabient at someone and slamming them into a wall. Whether the gimmick will still be fun after days and days of playing is another story, though.
I want to play HL2DM so badly, but when I try to run it, my CD spins a lot, and nothing happens. Any ideas on how I could get it to freaking run? Thanks!
San-j, I have the same problem :/
I'm going to try this in the morning: Support2.vugames.com .. It sounds like it may work.
Seems alot of people are having the problem where after downloading the patch nothing will run.
The CD spins and then nothing.
Halflife2.net
I don't think it's Retail specific either as some people have the steam version and it still doesn't work for them.
Ahh well, all we can do is wait. I wanted to play some HL2 today as well :/

There is now a new patch for the problem that some ppl have encountered - just restart steam and you're ready to go.
Now to figure out how to setup the SDK for MSVC++ 6.0
Let me hear a WOOT.
W00T!!
I knew I'd need VC++, but it still comes as a blow. Oh well, at least I've got some deathmatch to keep me happy! :D
WHAT DID I TELL YOU!? HUH!? I told you the secret was HL2 DM :p
I cant play for 3 more weeks...
stupid problems with my pc, i had to send it back to the company, now i have to wait and sit back..
I WANT HL2DM! :'(
I like throwing toilets at people :)
YOu did not know it was going to be dm :I, you guessed
Oh my god, try the SDK!
I made a huge battle with about 300 entities!
Just beware, there is one bug.
If a stalker (tortured human creature that shoots red lasers, which you don't get to fight in singleplayer) dies the game will crash.
"Lord of the Rings" has nothing compared to Source!
