Deathmatch is a term supposedly coined by John Romero to describe the visceral experience of being in a "match" where two live players, each on their own computer, link up a game for the purpose of fighting the match to the death. Deathmatch differs from other "online/multiplayer" games or game modes in that there are no actual rules, except for maybe a time limit or fragcount limit - it's kill or be killed and at the end of it all whoever has killed the most wins.
There are different types of Deathmatch, here is (some?):
- Deathmatch mode 1: Weapons disappear when took and return 30 seconds after pickup. Ammo returns 30 seconds after pickup.
- Deathmatch mode 2: Weapons dont disappear (weapon stay). Ammo, Health, Armor and Mega-Health dont return after pickup. (this mode is rarely used)
- Deathmatch mode 3: Weapons dont disappear (weapon stay). Ammo returns 15 seconds after pickup.
- Deathmatch mode 4: Starts with 250 Red Armor and 200 Health, all weapons except Grenade Launcher, unlimited Ammo and a Pentagram of Protection that is burning out.
