Half-Life 2: Deathmatch was released on November 30, 2004 as the multiplayer component to Half-Life 2. Gameplay is fundamentally identical to Deathmatch Classic, and the multiplayer mode in Half-Life, where players get one point for each kill and they lose a point for each suicide.
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch was, at one period of time, available free for users of certain ATI and Nvidia graphics cards. As of the 20th anniversary update, the game is included with purchase of Half-Life 2.
The game was updated on 15 November 2024 for Half-Life 2's 20th anniversary, adding HDR support to all the maps, vscript from 
Team Fortress 2[confirm], and several bug fixes and map design fixes.
Limitations/Bugs
Bug:Players can get stuck when spawning on top of certain props at maps such as dm_lockdown.
Workaround:players can push the objects with weapon_physcannon.
Warning:No bots in the game.
Workaround:RCBot2, Botrix, and HurricaneBot are plugins that provide Server-Side Bots, and can be used on a listen server.Use GitHub in order to prevent duplicate or outdated bug reports at the wiki.
Official maps
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch has the following official maps included:
Weapons
Players respawn with weapon_crowbar, weapon_physcannon, weapon_pistol with 18 loaded and 150 reserve (max), weapon_smg1 with 45 loaded and 45 reserve ammo (without alt grenades, 225 max), 2 grenades[Clarify] (5 max).
Dedicated server
Notes
Most props like barrels and wooden boxes are only grabbable by the weapon_physcannon at maps like dm_lockdown. This is unlike 
Half-Life 2.
Players can't collect wooden planks after destroying wooden boxes. This is unlike Half-Life 2.
Since the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2, the x64-bit build of HL2DM (hl2_win64.exe, srcds_win64.exe, bin/x64) is available, however it's impossible to run it due to missing DLLs.
