Half-Life 2's deathmatch has been released unto players.
I'm not the biggest fan of deathmatch. It's chaotic fun, but after the fun wears off it's just chaotic. Team matches are too tough to play because everyone has whatever model they want and the only way to tell who's who is by pointing your gun at them and looking for the word "enemy", or just turn around to face whoever's gunning you down already.
But things are interesting here. The gravity gun, especially, makes it unlike any other game's deathmatch out there. Even if you're out of ammo, you can grab just about anything that's not pinned down and give it a good hurl.
It's almost a little unbalanced, though. With a stash of large objects that you can fire off quickly enough, you've got something of a one-hit-kill machine. And of course that's annoying if you're the one constantly getting killed.
But it is fun and unique. Whether or not that lasts - I don't know. But I enjoyed using, and defending myself from, the gravity gun. It's also nice to get a chance to use the new Half Life guns like the Combine rifle, and one of the two levels available now (Overwatch) is pretty damned cool, in my opinion.
I don't think it's perfect, but it sure is fun to play with right now, and a free download for all Half Life 2 owners.
