Deathmatch Classic Deathmatch Classic (DMC), is a remake of Quake I's multiplayer with Half-Life assets by Valve in the GoldSrc engine.

Deathmatch Classic was released as a free mod for Half-Life on on June 7, 2001, and was subsequently included in an update for Half-Life the following month. When Valve ported its GoldSrc titles to Steam, the mod was changed to a paid game, along with adding a new map and main menu background. Owners of retail copies of Half-Life that registered their Half-Life CD key via Steam have been grandfathered in, receiving a Steam copy of Deathmatch Classic for free.

The game only contains its titular free-for-all deathmatch mode. A port of David "Zoid" Kirsch's popular capture-the-flag mod for Quake, "ThreeWave CTF" (or simply "3wave"), was planned, but never announced and ultimately abandoned, despite having new assets and maps created for it.

The source code for Deathmatch Classic and the unfinished ThreeWave CTF expansion can be found in the Half-Life SDK code repository, in the 🖿dmc subdirectory. A fork of the HLSDK 2.4 version of DMC updated to properly compile with Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition can be found on GitHub. HLSDK 2.5 compiles with VS2019 natively.

A port of Deathmatch Classic to the Source Engine was planned, with cubemaps for the water materials remaining in Half-Life: Source's files, but this too was abandoned.
