Half-life 1 was successfully released in 1998. A little later, modifications to it began to come out. One of the best was, in my opinion, Counter-Strike. But there were others. This is Deathmatch classic, Team Fortress Classic, Ricochet, Day of defeat. Do you remember them? Many people have these games gathering dust on Steam, but, unfortunately, some of them haven’t even launched. Team Fortress 2, HL2: DM, DOD: Source – these are essentially the same games, only modified in accordance with the requirements of modern graphics and with new goodies. So let’s remember some of them.
These games use the “GoldSrc” engine. The first game on the engine is Half-life. I think he is one of the “Grandfathers” of modern engines (I mean the family of engines of that time, i.e.To. GoldSrc is a modification of the Quake engine)
If you want to read more about it, here it is, I found it on Wikipedia
Today we’ll look at 1 game from the CS 1 Anthology pack.
Deathmatch classic or DMC
“But again, Although the blood flowed from the wound in a thick, wide wave, The battle began to boil, a mortal battle!»
Developer – Valve Release date – June 11, 2001 Game engine – GoldSrc Genre – First-person shooter Game modes – multiplayer System requirements Pentium III, 256MB RAM
Deathmatch classic is a remake of the multiplayer game from id Software, Quake. “Well, how can your favorite half-life do without multiplayer?!?” – that’s what Valve probably thought. And then in 2001 Deathmatch classic was released. In fact, they didn’t achieve anything new. DMC is the same Quake, only with your favorite crowbar and slightly different guns. (I heard this phrase somewhere, only the games were different). But there is also a difference. DMC looks nicer than Quake – this is due to modifications to the engine.
Beauty! It’s a pity you won’t admire it for a long time..
First impressions
I honestly admit that I only played https://casino-666.co.uk Deathmatch classic for the first time relatively recently. Well, naturally, I expected to encounter a small number of servers and people, as in any old game. But no, there was no such problem. Quite quickly I found a suitable server and started playing. It’s not enough to say: “I started playing,” most likely: “I started creating chaos and causing fun.”!“I haven’t had this much fun in a long time.
Well, just look at this! By the way, one of the main reasons why I liked the game.
In Deathmatch classic you can choose a character skin to your liking. The list consists of popular characters from Half-Life. This is the beloved Gordon Freeman, G-man, Security Guard Barney, Zombie(!), some Gina, 2 types of special forces, a robot and a scientist. There are so many, everyone will choose a character to their liking.
I killed the g-man! Oh! It seems we won’t see him in episode 3
But what pleased me most was the ability to change the colors of the upper and lower parts of the character. The opportunity to surprise your friends with a chosen and coolly painted character is, for 2001, something new.
Glamorous zombie.)
ATTENTION! For your safety when playing, I strongly do not recommend releasing the LMB!
The game contains a considerable number of different types of weapons for total or subtle destruction. Again, everyone finds something to their liking. Well, you have to try hard for this, because the weapons are scattered all over the map in a rotating form. It says: “Choose me! I’ll bring more frags!“And in the game, unfortunately, there is no script for the appearance of weapons and equipment in a random place. It appears at a strictly specified point on the map, which is why campers appear.
Nice model, there are even buttons, I wonder what they are for?
Well, there’s not enough time to talk about all the weapons, so I’ll tell you about the two most popular types of weapons.
1. The crowbar is a symbol of the Half-life series. No comments needed. Is it to say that in most cases, when it comes to close combat, the question only comes down to who has the most accurate crowbar. And if there is someone who does not use a crowbar, then know that he does not understand anything about Half-life!
This thing never gets old!
2. The rocket launcher is a real weapon for chaos and total destruction. Blood, meat, skulls await you. And if you also take the perks of immortality and increased damage, then… In a word, a weapon for real psychos.
What’s better to admire?? On what you did or on the upper right corner of the screen!
The standard set of weapons given upon resurrection is a crowbar and a shotgun, but these alone won’t show off coolness.
The game uses several different types of opportunities scattered throughout the map. Well, the most common is the possibility of increased damage (represented as blue rotating lambda letters in a circle), immortality (the same, only red). There is also armor, but it won’t help against a rocket launcher, but, unfortunately, it saves you from a crowbar.
ABOUT! Hell’s cookie!
Cards.
There are not many standard cards, only four. But they have diversity, the landscape is different, some have lava, others have water. You won’t be bored. The maps are small, some are multi-level. Cookies are scattered throughout the map, and the most delicious ones are in almost inaccessible places. There are also different weapons on the maps, well, for example, on maps that are designed for meat in abundance, rocket launchers and high ground.
Yeah, but I know I can’t get you.
One step left, one step right and you won’t need to be shot.
I won’t give a rating, since everything was sorted out 9 years ago, but believe me, the game is worth remembering and it’s worth spending a couple of hours reminiscing.
If you want to have an all-out massacre, relax after a busy day, dominate your friends and, finally, remember the times of the first online games – welcome to DMC! Fun awaits!
If I liked it, I will continue. And, damn, why did the blogs fall just when I was finishing the last lines?!
