The thing that still captivates me about tfc is that after all this time playing tfc I'm still finding new genuinely useful tricks/jumps to spring on an unsuspecting defence in an attempt to grab/escape with the flag. When you find a new trick and perfect it I get a rush doing it and leaving the defence for dead.

You may not see much skill in a public game kurt because there is a diverse array of players skill and a medic rush does get past the weakest link. Clan matches are a whole world apart from pub games. 0-0 draws after 30 mins with multiple 4 man rushes getting repelled by the nme defence. Hopefully pub games will get alot better soon with voice comms so that a team can be organised better.

Often I find on public 2fort that as soon as you get across the bridge and jump up the grate you are clear to the flag. Thats really disappointing as it takes practically no skill at all to cap. That is boring, TFC not being played with the team defending and attacking in balance.

Deathmatch doesnt hold any excitement for me at all but nor does a badly played public game of TFC.

 

[Moving Target]

ok 2fort game - medic, spawn, run to battlements with conc which has its pin pulled, conc to nme battlements, run into flagroom and get mowed down by SG or 2 HWGUYS defending. Next time ask for backup but noone helps. Get to FR only to damage HWGUYS quite alot but not dead...repeat and so on :sleeping:

 

[Atomic Rammer]

HWG's in the FR? Surely they should be on the bridge with their finger stuck down

LOL u guys have sum funny ideas on hldm

hey just introducing myself as a wp hldm player fer 3yrs

i got pointed here from my forum and i have to say u lot have made me laff

right got sum points to make here:

i have NEVER known dm to b slower than any other mod..
yes, spawn mining, gluoning, and bees are VERY LAME in clan games u wood never see em used.. kinda the unwritten rules

only in public svrs where there r n00bs do u them used sumtimes.

ive moved from duke nukem to quake to hl and never looked back hl has bin my fav fer mp fer yrs.. i do play cs now and again but im not a fan.. im not the sit in a corner and wait kinda guy.. i bet bored and leg it round a corner to find there entire team is waiting fer me hehe

soz to peeps like like it but i think tfc suxs beyond all measure thou it is funny to watch soldiers try to rocket jump whilst im shootin them and kinda loose too much hp and splat everywhere

err oppfor.. hmm hldm wiv a couple of different weapons.. good if u wanna change but not fer me

hldm has and will always get my vote.

i say it is underrated m8ey.. all of u give it a go after all wivout the hldm, ALL the other mods never wooda existed

(and dont get clever and say u can buy cs on it own.. yes u can but it wooda not bin around if not fer hl ) hehe

have fun guys (playing dm of course)

Hi all I am a dedicated HLDM er and have to just say a couple of things

for one the above comment does apply to FFA BUT the teamplay game is VERY different, games are won and lost on tactics,

if this wasnt the case then my HLDM Clan wouldn't spend 2-4 hours a week working out tactics for maps etc,


as for their not being many who play it, well I have over 400 people on my icq list alone who play HLDM on a regular basis,

the old WP community has over 500 members and the HLCCL league contains 48 clans who play every sunday night in a stuctured league

now is only 1 community and 1 league,

then there is clan base that has countless HLDM clans playing on a regular basis (my clan [FlowerPower] included)

as for weapons such as the trip mines and det packs, they are not really counted as tacticl weapons in HLDM because they take no skill whatsoever to use, I am more impressed with an X Bow shot to the head taking me out instantly than somebody slapping a trip mins down and hoping for the best.

At the end of the day CS, TFC, Quake, HLDM etc are all very different games and everybody is entitled to their opinions and views on them, everyone has their own tastes as to what games they like to play BUT you dont catch DM'ers making sweeping statements about games they have little or no experience of,


I will offer the following challenge to those who think HLDM is too easy/boring/not tactical enough,

ICQ me and my clan will play any of you guys clans at a HLDM match and I promise you we will give you a good, clean enjoyable game of HLDM

we did this recently with a hugh CS/TFC clan and they enjoyed it so much that they are now considering starting a HLDM team, we also repaid the compliment and are playing them at CS soon


ICQ is 97277210

come an find out what HLDM is REALLY like in a team situation

 

[old.SuperFLY]

go morty go morty go go morty go morty go go morty go morty go *breath* and *repeat* :E

 

[Moön]

They got any decent costom map server's out there to try then ?

1 thing that does annoy me about hldm is the way some of the weapons are lagged and they follow your crosshair to far behind

 

[old.SliNkY]

HL-DM is under rated !!!!

it is a blend of realistic maps & weapons...........

tatics...................

huge amounts of skill to get it right .............


clan games are very different to public servers...........


each to there own .......

I don't lag and I have a stable ping of 20 on most UK server's .

Maybe I described it wrong if you move the crosshair on the rocket launcher the red dot is following you, unlike the red dot in tfc that the sniper has which stays with you, also the ghost buster thing does the same when firing

If I'm reading this right your saying this problem that I have discribed is being corrected, this is the only problem I have with the game and will surely play it more in 1108 in that case

 

[lovedaddy]

that bee gun thing always used to cause lag if I remember correctly, especially after the new netcode patch?

 

[old.foamy]

if you think hldm is a minority game
have a look here

 

[Moön]

Hmm you've got clans in a deathmatch.....thats funny

 

[old.MORTY]

not when there's a team play option

 

[Moving Target]

i still dont like HLDM..when you spawn you get slaughtered because the guy has an MP5 and you only have a glock

 

[old.MORTY]

errrrrrrrrrrrrrr no, only takes 3 headshots with a glock to take someone out, takes about 6 shots from an mp5, maybe you need to improve your aim?

 

[old.Kez]

Only takes one MP5 Grenade

The RPG was always meant to be fixed in the same way as the TFC rifle, but never was, because valve are shit cunts.

WPHL is (was) possibly the best HL community I've seen (and vaguely been a part of) and is certainly not a minority :/

Hands up who's old school enough here to remember Dr Eraseme?

 

[old.MORTY]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh them good ole MP5 grens, tho if someone is hev'd up you have to get it just right above the head

an no I dont remember him,

 

[old.Kez]

Your loss :/

(he was evil, eeeeeeeevil I say)

 

[old.MORTY]

in that case I am glad cos I cry easily if I get no kills ;(



j/k btw

 

[old.[KIA]angel]

read: you can get across bootcamp in about 6 seconds if you're in any way good.

pro = lamet.
