-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mikee Sent: 01 June 2005 20:19 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Does any one know? re:how armor works I apologize for speaking so strongly against Valve like I just did, but it is a reflection of how angry the community is towards Valve who love playing HL2-DM. The Steam Forums are filled with disgusted players and server admins, many of which have left the game and won't return. Actual server and player numbers have clearly dropped over time because of this. Valve NEVER gives us any feedback or progress about this RETAIL PURCHASED LEVEL, or even let us know they give two shits, either here or in the Steam Forums. No patches in over 5 months...that is truly disgusting for a product that they openly promote on their Steam Product Sales webpage. (Not to mention DOD has been coming soon for about 9 months). http://www.steampowered.com/?area=product_packageoffers Anyway, this autoswitch fix at least helps those of you who still care about this game. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ned Haskin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2005 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Does any one know? re:how armor works > Great link , thanks Mikee going to stop the auto switching asap. > > Saint K., future reference, put "how armor works" in the subject line > these posts are archived by subject, it will help others find answers. > > Mikee wrote: > >> The only way to actually define what happens is to go in a server with a >> friend, and with 100/100 shoot each other in various body locations with >> single shots from various guns. >> >> I went through this exercise while doing Valve's lazy ass job with their >> failure to fix any of the bugs in HL2-DM in over 5 months.
