The objective in Deathmatch is to reach the score limit by getting "frags". A player can earn these frags by killing an enemy player. One frag will be awarded for a kill. If a player kills him/herself, the player will lose a frag. The first person to reach the score limit wins.
There's a team-based variation, Team Deathmatch, and a one-on-one variant, Duel.
"If you're running a UT competition I'd strongly suggest using these settings:
Official Epic Games Tourney Settings
One on One ---------- Weapons Stay- OFF Game Speed- DEFAULT NO TRANSLOCATOR NO BOTS (duh) Game Setting- HARDCORE Mutators- NO REDEEMER, NO POWERUPS Frag Limit- 20 Time Limit- 10
Suggested 1 on 1 Maps (my personal opinion) ------------------------------------------- Liandri Codex Grinder Turbine Malevolence (to be released in upcoming free Bonus Pack)"
The Unreal Engine handles interior and exterior spaces extremely well and maps like Peak and Hyperblast really take advantage of this. These maps are original, you get to frag in really exquisite environments. Sure, they may not be the ones you play in a tourney, but they sure have that "wow" factor."
"Many server admins think that just because a map shipped with the game that it is ok for dozens of players to play at once.
Deathmatch maps like "Fractal," "Oblivion," and "Stalwart" are TINY and are meant for one on one, no more. When you run a server with a 32 player limit and add these maps to your cycle list you're just ruining the play experience for those who are trying to find a good local server.
So, please, don't cycle these maps unless you're keeping your max players very low."
Some mods in Unreal Tournament 3 have maps with multiple vehicles. The gametype is referred to as Vehicle Deathmatch.
According to UT, Deathmatch was legalized in 2291.
While Deathmatch exists as a gametype in Unreal II, it is not regularly accessible within the game. One must use mods to access a menu for the gametype.
"Kill as many competitors as possible and try to avoid being killed by them. The player who reaches the frag limit first (or has the most frags when the time limit is reached) is the winner. Winners advance to the next arena in the ladder."
"Deathmatch is an every-man-for-themselves sport in which you use weapons and pickups found throughout each match to kill the other players. Every time you kill another player, your score goes up one point. The first player to reach a predetermined score wins the match."
