deathmatch

Definition: The deathmatch is a common gameplay mode in multiplayer action games. Essentially, everyone is on their own and the winner is the player with the most kills when the match ends. Team deathmatch is a similar mode of play, except that instead of being a free-for-all, each team is trying to get the highest combined kill count. Most multiplayer online FPS games offer several different play modes, which can include capture-the-flag and last-man-standing.
