Half-Life 2: Deathmatch server, gravity gun 24/7
Grabbing a toilet with the gravity gun and launching it at a friend: some joys never age.
Our Half-Life 2: Deathmatch server runs classic free-for-all with 16 slots, rotating through the eight official maps: dm_lockdown, dm_overwatch, dm_runoff, dm_powerhouse, dm_steamlab, dm_resistance, dm_underpass and dm_largo. Twenty minutes per map, then a new battleground. And anything not bolted down is still a weapon.
HL2DM is one of those games almost nobody takes the time to host properly anymore. A shame: twenty years on, its physics-driven deathmatch still has no equivalent. So we take care of it: a clean dedicated server, online 24/7, ready for your gravity gun duels.

How do I get Half-Life 2: Deathmatch?
It costs a few euros on Steam and goes on sale all the time. If you have owned Half-Life 2 for a while, check your library: it may already be in there.
Free-for-all or teams?
Free-for-all, the game's historic format. Sixteen players, one map, a gravity gun each: alliances rarely outlive a radiator.
Which maps are in the rotation?
The eight official maps: dm_lockdown, dm_overwatch, dm_runoff, dm_powerhouse, dm_steamlab, dm_resistance, dm_underpass and dm_largo. The map rotates every twenty minutes with scores reset.
Is the server protected?
Yes, VAC is enforced and everything is logged. Network rules apply: report abuse with a nickname and a time, the crew handles it.
