About

A direct port of the original Deathmatch mode for the half-life to the Source engine slightly improves the game flow, by making controls more responsive and the connection more stable. Half-Life Deathmatch Source recreates the gameplay of the original multiplayer of Half-Life. All players are randomly spawned at the different map points and battle each other within a free-for-all brawl. To acquire any resource (weapons, ammo, health, and energy) players must scavenge the map for the various caches. Victory is achieved by obtaining the largest amount of kills during the match, by eliminating other players. In case of the draw, the player with the least amount of deaths is a winner of the match. Aside from the user created content, there are 8 available maps for the Half-Life Deathmatch: Source.

        Half-Life Deathmatch: Source reviews and comments

        A game that was broken. Everything was fine before «SteamPipe».
        In 2007 I played this game without bugs. Everything worked. Items weren't duplicated and hitboxes worked correctly. RIP
        «Buggy as hell»

        My Opinion and Rating on the Game: 1.Graphic (resolution, Power, particles) Points: (0/10) Positive:/Negative: No Good resolution or Particles 2.Game up (main Menu, Music, steering) Points: (0/10) Positive:-Light steering negative:-Rather not a good Menu no Matching Music 3.Gameplay Points: (0/10) Positive:/Negative: No Logic Game Buildup-No Good Online Mode Final set to the Game: My opinion after one of the worst things of the Series Half life, because it has really very bad Graphics, a Multiplayer Mode that is not Fun, and no logical structure! Bad Cards/Weapons. I only received this in the Orange Box with all Half Life sharing, otherwise I would not have bought this individually! Test it myself, I hope I could help you!

        ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Game: A simple First-person shooter like you know and love Him. It's a pure Deathmatch Game. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Multiplayer: The Multiplayer mode is well designed and very clear. Unfortunately, there is a lack of Servers and Users to Play with. In the LAN for Fans, however, it is certainly still interesting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Graphic: The Graphics are good, and I could not detect weakening Due to a lack of playing Time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Music: I Couldn't hear due to a lack of playing Time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Control: Has been well played with Mouse and Keyboard, unfortunately the Weapons I find a bit cumbersome to choose. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pro/Contra:-No Servers-No Players---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verdict: Have certainly been a good First-person shooter, but anyone expecting Online Multiplayer action is out of place here. It is more worthwhile to play Counter-Strike in some variant, at least Users and Servers can still be found. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Summarized: Multiplayer: 2/10 Graphic: 7/10 Music: 52 10 Control: 7/10------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------Game: 4/10
