deathmatch + packaged version?

[Fat Tony!]

Could it ever exist? It will take too long to download for me on teh 56k ;(.

[Brian Damage]

Took me about two hours...

[Fat Tony!]

How big is it? I havent got hl2 yet so I cant tell, I was only guessing that its huge

[UndeadScottsman]

It's only 30mb.. I've seen game patches that were bigger than that.. (Heh, the original Half-Life comes to mind :D)

Sincerely,
Jeremy Dunn

[Fat Tony!]

Hmm 30mb, I suppose I could wait but im not a patient person :P

[Brian Damage]

You'd probably be waiting longer for a packaged "HL2+" version...

[Fat Tony!]

Yeah of course, Im not going to wait longer for Hl2 :P I must play!

/me hopes for op4:source :D

No offense, but if you're on 56k do you really think you'd have a good DM experience anyway? It sounds like people with Cable connections are getting lag. I'd hate to imagine 56k.

Yep I have ISDN and when playing at 64k on 20 people server ping is 300 and laggy as hell and when 128k its still laggy. But luckily I'm changing to 1mb/512 connection, it cost like 5 euros more than isdn.
So you need to give out hope for you playing with 56k.

[Psychx]

is it laggy to all servers or just ones that are distant from you?

[Fat Tony!]

Well Im assuming that the deathmatch is in its early stages at the moment and it will become much less laggy. But then I realise my halo online experience= hell. May as well wait until im at uni with my broadband

To bad most university's have a habit of blocking the ports that steam needs to connect.
