alright this wont make any since to anyone but me but i feel like posting it cause im mad. so the biggest half life 2: DM tournament was supposed to start today. theres like 5,400 people in it. first off i cant even play cause im not 17 and the game is rated M so thats pretty gay since theres 100,000 dollars prize money!!! but anyway there are tons of exploits and glitches in DM that allow people to cheat so for this magnitude of a tournament valve decided to release a patch for it that got rid of the majority of them. they decided to do it now even though this game has been out for years and people have complained for years they have all but ignored DM. so last night they released the patch like 12 hours before the tournament was supposed to start. so after waiting for ever for all the servers to update it turns out it fucked every server totally up so i thought maybe they just need to be reconfigured and it will all work because JM managed to fix our server with some work. so we start playing and discover that the update that was supposed to fix exploits did fix them but totally ruined everything else. heres a list off problems it created: health packs dont work, shotgun and smg dont do the right amount of damage, people were getting over 900 ping, magnum shots arent registering and arent doing the right damage, the entire game doesnt run smoothly anymore, some of the maps dont work now, some sounds dont work, meele weapons hit people from way off and dont do any damage, player names r huge when u look at someone, and a lot of servers just disappeared. so a long overdue update designed to fix exploits and glitches basically ruined the game. i dont get how valve can be so stupid. i mean they are supposed to be fixing the game for us not breaking it. they dont test the update before its released so they dont see all of these problems hapening. they design some of the best games ever but cant manage to fix the problems with it without ruining it. fios tournament will now prolly be postponed for a while at least and i cant play my favorite game all because of valves incompatence. they get all their money from people who play their games then they totally fuck the game over i just dont understand it. ahhh that feels better :D
