Gameplay revolves around your typical online shooter gameplay (memorize map, find & camp 1 hit kill weapons) and has nothing remarkable about it. A real disappointment considering how amazing Half Life 2 was. Full Review »

Unfortunately, the community seems to be really putting an effort into deliberately ruining the game. There is a decent sized selection of servers, but only about 20% of them are probably even running a deathmatch gamemode. All of the other community created gamemodes are completely and utterly horrible. Even worse, out of all the servers running deathmatch maps, less than half of them are running Valve/stock maps. Most of the are running awful "killbox" maps, which are...well...just awful. tl;dr The game is good granted you are lucky enough to be able to find a server that isn't horrible. Stick to default gamemode and play Valve maps and/or Valve-tier community maps. Full Review »

    In addition to having very few servers with more than five people playing at a time, you will spend 90% of your time downloading custom serverIn addition to having very few servers with more than five people playing at a time, you will spend 90% of your time downloading custom server files, and the rest of the time realizing that the servers you join, even though advertised as deathmatch, are playing some indescribable and unplayable version thereof in awful maps. This was a complete waste for something that could have been a lot of fun and provided countless hours of gameplay. If there was ever an actual game here, it has been long dead. Half-Life 2: Deathmatch is a disappointment and disaster! Full Review »
