I just wanna start out on my old account i have over 3000+ hours on it from 07 to 11. To start off hl2dm has a very special place in my heart has it was a introductory to my PC gaming adventures back in late 2007 that's when steam had the classic green. UI layout. miss those days!! Anyways... I digress.

I remember the first map i played on it was dm_star_wars_v4 and i was absolutely astounded seeing a map that was completely custom. Being very young at the time the way I played half life 2 before was on the OG xbox and never had a PC. I became very addicted to hl2dm at the time.... I remember getting hooked on killbox servers and awesome coop servers like bouncyball which is still running today which is very impressive. and with those servers with the js_build maps were fun as hell to me back then. They always felt very unique to me.

Used to hangout on phoneburnia zombies servers all the time and my personal favorite map from them was z_tower i think it was called. It's very unfortunate this game isn't as popular as it used to be, it really is. it is still fun to hop on this game every now and then but I can't seem to get into this game like I used to. This game like i said is still fun to play it still holds up today but just isn't active as it used to be. You can find servers to play on with plenty of people, no shortage on that.

Thinking back on the old days when it used to be so much fun to play on kind of feels depressing. I really wish I could go back and experience everything all over again. 2007-2011 were truly the funnest days on this game. But thanks to valve and all the updates to source this game won't ever feel the same.

Thank you for all the fun ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ times. I truly mean it.
