About Half-Life 2: Deathmatch?

Developed by Valve Corporation, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game available on the Steam platform. It utilizes assets from Half-Life 2 and the Source engine, offering unique levels designed for multiplayer arena play and introducing a selection of new weapons. Additionally, the game includes portions of the source code, which have served as the foundation for numerous early Source-based multiplayer modifications. As the successor to the popular multiplayer component of the original Half-Life, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch is offered as a standalone product from Half-Life 2 and does not contribute to the plot or story of the series. The deathmatch mode incorporates features commonly found in other games with a deathmatch mode, such as instant respawn, specific spawn points for weapons, and special abilities like sprint and flashlight usage. Players aim to score points by eliminating opponents, with self-killing resulting in point deductions. Upon respawn, players are equipped with 100 health points and default spawn weapons, forfeiting any previously acquired weapons and ammunition.
