STEAM: HL2DM updating coming that included two new weps and a map.

For those of you that do not leave Steam on, there was an update that came through yesterday. Here it is:

Last week marked the end of the Half-Life 2: Deathmatch level design contest. We received over 200 submissions, and we're going through and playtesting each one. There are a number of great maps in here, and we're already having trouble picking the clear winners. The release of the winning maps will coincide with a release of Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, which will include two new weapons: the Slam and Stunstick.

Also of note for level designers and Mod builders: there will be an update to the Half-Life SDK this week which most notably will include source files for six Half-Life 2 maps.

Lastly, work on Dave Riller's new map cs_compound continues, along with the other projects we're working on here at Valve. We'll have an update on the map and our other projects next month.

We dont have an exact date, but its probably real close if they're talking about it this way. Good to see Valve is very serious about keep HL2 updated and adding features.

WTF is a Slam! Cannot wait, sounds like fun!

I got a 403 error when trying to get there:

...funny thing is, I've never even been in there before.
