Cliffe confirmed it.

Perhaps "Barrel'ed" is the name of a map?

Yup, looks like DM. Combine VS. Rebel Citizens.

Yay!

My only question would be, when are we getting this? At the end of the week? Tomorrow? Later today (doubtful)?

Well they have that image posted up in the news section over there but unfortunately there is no description. Just the title "SOON" and the picture.

It clearly is Deathmatch. Not only was this the most likely option for the surprise, but some guys at steampowered.com have found some file in Steam that says "Half Life 2: Deathmatch". Now, with this picture, we know that it's DM. It's rebel citizens fighting against combine. What else could it be except for HL2 DM? It's highly unlikely that it's an additional chapter where you play as one of the rebels. It just wouldn't make a lot of sense. Besides, if you look closely it takes place in a place that very closely resembles Nova Proskept. In other words, it's a multiplayer map modded for the Nova Prospekt level.

Barrel'ed as in 'just got hit by a barrel'.

Presumably because it sounds much better than toilet'ed.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any better.

I just got very excited. And it seems to be some sort of team deathmatch going on in that specific pic, if you look at who's shooting who. So regular deatchmatch + team deatchmatch + some sort of ctf (it's mandatory these days) are what we can expect?

I say it's just Team Deathmatch and Deathmatch.
