ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED....

Just been looking on www.steampowered.com to see what's going on with this, it appears there are quite a few issues with the friends network, and not being able to find, connect, chat etc with each other.

The good news is that everyone seems to suggest using a similar product called xfire, so I will be d/loading that tonight and setting that up.

Have a look at xfire and get it downloaded and installed

Yeah, I did the same with you but got nothing back too.

I had great fun running round throwing toilets, radiators, filing cabinets, chairs, barrels, etc at others! Getting the hang of it all now as I haven't played DM properly since Unreal Tournament a few years back!

The xfire thing looks really good, looking at the destructions, and what you can do it sounds really impressive in game instant messaging, and we don't even have to be in the same game!!

OK...now registered on Xfire as Harv748...no DSC before username this time.

Its seems quite straight forward. Once others register they can be added to your friends list...then away we go!

I know what you mean Antony...at one point I was in a game with 19 others...and it seemed everyone was using the Gravity gun, launching radiators/tables/filing cabinets at each other...all got a bit silly really! You were lucky if you survived longer than 30 seconds!

I think it would be better if they didn't give you the GG to start with as it seems every man and his dog just uses this and nothing else...its better when you find a game were peeps are using the other weapons of choice (ie magnum/crossbow/shotgun etc)

[JPM]

Me too, I dunno if I that keen on the GG for attacks etc, great for moving stuff etc, but I prefer just all out gun fire etc

It's just a case of knowing how to defeat them. It's only good for a medium-distance weapon so try to get them into tighter spaces where they'll find it harder to fire and pick stuff up. Keep blasting away and you'll get the hang of it.

The best ones are those guys with the GG who are holding explosive barrels - shoot the barrel and they go boom! Last night I was lobbing grenades at one guy and he tried to pick something up to throw at me, but picked up the grenade instead, just as it went off. Another guy threw a filing cabinet at me and I caught it with the gun then threw it back at him and killed him.

It's a great laugh!
