'''Deathmatch''' was a fast-paced free-for-all gamemode in which all players must fight to win via reaching 50 points or getting the most amount of points after the time limit is reached. It had a special class unique to the mode, much like [[VIP]], named the [[Mercenary]] who would be the only playable class in this mode.

Players would start with two starting weapons ([[Pistol]] and [[Crowbar]]), and would pick up weapons to replace them as they go, deathmatch-specific weapons would be scattered around the map alongside weapons seen in the base game (see below). Power-ups could also be found on these maps, providing varying buffs to the player that would last set periods of time, listed below.

Deathmatch would eventually be removed from the game for a number of reasons, splitting off into ''Team Deathmatch Classic'' and ''Open Fortress'':

* It was too large; it felt like its own separate game.
* Any gamemode that removes classes/weapons to function goes against some of the core principles of ''Team Fortress''.
* The code was getting to the point where if one thing was done in X, it'd screw something up in Y.
