When Half-Life 2 was released to users, some were saddened at the fact that there was no multiplayer function, instead another game, Counter-Strike was bundled with it. Shortly later in the year, the creators released another component of the game with multiplayer functionality for a small fee. All was better in the gaming community, for while. Read on to learn more.

From Quick Guide: Online Gaming
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Install the Half-Life 2 program and then install the Deathmatch add-on to add multiplayer capabilities.

  2. Step 2

    Run around the first section in the game and grab any weapons and resources you see. You will need weapons, and anything you can find for the rest of the game. There is a small window of time here at the beginning to get what you need so be quick.

  3. Step 3

    Enter the Half-life 2 multiplayer Deathmatch game. Deathmatch itself is multiplayer so if you see the title Deathmatch, you know you are in the right place. You are playing against your other players so take no hostages. As of yet there is no plan to make any large choices.

  4. Step 4

    Live up to your Half-Life persona and kill, shot, and throw toilets at any and all players in your Deathmatch world. Your goal is to be the only and last one standing, friendship does not expand into this world.

  5. Step 5

    Start getting up as soon as your player dies. He will float in the air and re-spawn to stay to fight yet another day. But be quick but others can kill you as soon as you come back to life.

  6. Step 6

    Use your memory of the characters and the scenes from the single player environment of Half-Life. The whole expanded program is based from the single player version and you can use all your prior knowledge to defeat your enemy.
