Deathmatch (video games)

Okay kiddo, have you ever played a game where you have to beat other players by shooting them before they shoot you? Well, that's kinda what a deathmatch is.

In a deathmatch, you get to play with other people who are also playing the same game as you. The goal is to get as many points as possible by killing as many opponents as you can before they kill you.

You start with a certain amount of health and weapons, and you can find more weapons and health scattered around the maps. The more people you kill, the more points you get, and the person with the most points by the end of the game wins!

It's really important to be quick, sneaky, and strategic to survive in a deathmatch mode. You have to be on the lookout for other players who are trying to kill you while you also try to kill them. It can be super fun if you like fast-paced action video games!
