Any HL2DM gamers on here? If so pop along to the Arcade Generation Clan server sometime, we're a bunch of older players (hence the name) of reasonable (but not elite) skill level who like a good laugh as much as we like the game.

And if you're not playing HL2DM yet ... WHY NOT???

I'll drop in next time I have the chance for a game. What maps do you usually play? I'm by no means an expert but I think I can hold my own . Never did manage to get the hang of that grenade & gravity gun trick, though.

Say hello if you see me around. I use the same handle on Steam as my username here.

Our current map cycle is:

dm_lockdown
dm_powerhouse
dm_lostvillage
dm_biohazard
dm_swamplight_final
dm_vault
dm_zeta_prefinal
dm_fortress_f1

although we have a lot more maps on the server than that so if you have a particular favourite and any of the [AgC] are online request it and you may just get lucky.

I'm only just getting used to the grav'nade trick, I still kill myself as frequently as anyone else with it!

I also use the same name on Steam as on here, all be it with the [AgC] tag on the front.

No Overwatch? Shame

The gravnade trick is a source of constant annoyance to me (mainly 'cos I can't do it properly ). However, I since learned that some people appear to be using a keybind script to automate and speed up the process - the lamers. Frankly, I'd rather develop strategies to overcome the gravnade, rather than use a script myself, which I think is akin to cheating.

I know what you mean about the gravnade trick being annoying, but if you can't beat them join them! One stratagy to use against it is to catch the 'nade as it comes over, this resets the fuse on it and allows you to lob it back - however it's by no means easy!

Some people do use a keybind script(or at least they did, I think the last patch may have made it impossible) and agree it is totally lame. However I know a lot of the decent players across Europe (a lot of them seem to be on our server quite a lot) and none of them ever use this kind of script, they get as good as they are by lots of practise - [PiC]Noodle once told me that to get as good as he is he'd spent about 2 months playing 12 hours a day! yikes Unfortunately some of us have lives so will never get that good! hehe

Overspam is on the server but not in the rotation as a number of our guys can't stand it, I on the other hand am quite partial to a bit of RPG whoring! hehe

Our server IP is 217.146.89.30:27025 , it runs 24/7 but is only usually in use of an evening. Drop by if you get the chance and say hi!

I might pop over; while my usual online tipple is Counter-Strike:Source, I'm occasionally partial to an evening spent chucking radiators at people.

I'll use my PH handle for ease of identification.

Although Tuesday evenings aren't the best time to come and find us as we usually lock the server for clan practise.
