What is Half-Life 2: Deathmatch?
About this game
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch (HL2DM) is a fast, physics-driven arena FPS built on the Source engine. Frag with classic weapons, master the Gravity Gun, and use the map itself as a weapon.
Matches are quick and expressive: control armor and batteries, out-position with movement, and turn crates, radiators, and sawblades into projectiles. Community servers mix Deathmatch, Team DM and wild modes like Deathrun, Jump, Co-op and CTF—pick your flavor and dive in.
