I'd like to host a smaller map with about 8 people, but I don't know how to open it up to the internet. Can anybody tell me how?

What's up with the ImmortalGaming.com server that has 128 slots?? Constantly clicking refresh in the server properties screen shows the number of people on the server going up and down as fast as it can go.

There is no DOD:S in any of the retail packages. "Deluxe" (CE) or just plain HL2 package. Which is why they are both total rip offs especially the CE.

Er, what's your computer components? I can barely pull 30 in 1024 with no AA and bloom HDR.

Dang, no bots. I did a quick google search and it appears there will be eventually, but not now. Graphics look decent but I want my bots for coop LAN mode with my kids dangit. Guess we'll stick with CS:S

Eh. Lagged as FVCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH??

It was almost a slide show. My buddy reported the same on that server and like 3 others. r_netgraph 3 nor show_fps 1 seemed to be a command. I know my FPS isn't that high at 1680x1050, but I run CS:S with 40 players on the same settings at 40-50+ fps. Whys it so laggy??? And HDR seemed to look like crap. I had it on 'High', but I'm gonna turn it OFF next time I (try to) play.

You sir are correct. Looks like I got riped off hard buying the "Collectors Edition". In essence I paid 25$ for a crappy T-Shirt. Thanks Valve... you make me feel special! :(
That also means that I will not be playing DoD. I wait for Call of Duty2 and spend my money on that. Too bad, I was looking forward to something new to hold me over.
I do feel ripped never the less! Valve makes good games, but that customer service thing is not their forte (brings back memories of the Steam disaster on release day).

What a bunch of complainers, seriously this game looks absolutely outstanding

Its not out of the question to complain about a SERIOUS drop in FPS from other source games (and even BF2) to this game. The game is fun as hell but its kind of rediculous to have to get a 7series geforce just to have it look good.
