Half-Life Deathmatch Sourced For Aftermath

Revamped version of original Deathmatch included with the latest episode in the adventures of Gordon Freeman

Valve Software's forthcoming Half-Life 2: Aftermath will include a Source version of Half-Life Deathmatch, say reports. No further information on the revamp at this time, although we imagine it'll simply be a cosmetic makeover and feature a combination of classic maps and the original DM weapon line-up. It's possible the developer might choose to add new content, but don't hold your breath.
It was recently announced that Valve plans to ship Aftermath on April 24 and, according to website teamkilled.net, it'll hit your wallet for around 20 USD with the Half-Life 2: Deathmatch tossed in as part of the bundle. April 24 is also the planned release date for Half-Life 2: Platinum, which features Half-Life 2, Aftermath, HL DM: Source, HL2: DM, DoD: Source and CS Source. Expect to fork out around 50 USD for that.

Finally, it's said Valve plans to unleash special pre-order offers for Steam and retail versions of the above HL2 packages. Precisely what form these offers will take is to be revealed soon.

This is great news for any big Half Life 2 fans such as myself. I find that Half Life 2 is the greatest first person shooter game ever created. It embodied everything a FPS was supposed to be. Fun, a little scary, challenging, and just so damn good looking. The story was astounding and proved that if you just played Single Player you would have a great time. And then you play Multiplayer and its like a whole differnt game. And now with this revamped deathmatch for Half Life coming out Multiplayer could be that much better. Thanks for the news

Ive been looking forward to add-on for a while and having not heard to much about it was disappointed that they missed the Sept 24th release and had no more news on it so this was a relief to see it is on way (and soon)
