Half-Life Deathmatch: Source
Half-Life Deathmatch: Source recreates the original game’s competitive deathmatch within the Source engine. Familiar weapons and compact arenas keep the emphasis on movement, timing and pickups. It is a distinct multiplayer release, so maps and modifications should be checked against this exact edition rather than Half-Life 2.
