Half-Life 2: Deathmatch 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.

PlacementTip.pngWorkaround: RCBot2, Botrix, and HurricaneBot are plugins that provide Server-Side Bots, and can be used on a listen 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 Half-Life 2.

Players can't collect wooden planks after destroying wooden boxes. This is unlike Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2.
