Deathmatch

Deathmatch (abbreviated DM) is a widely-used gameplay mode very well integrated into first-person shooter computer games. The goal of a deathmatch game is to kill (or "frag") as many other players as possible in the time given (until the level is completed or a certain limit is reached). Once one of these conditions is met, the match is over, and the winner is whoever has accumulated the most frags. It is based around the idea of player spawns, and weapon/item/pickup spawns in one play session.

Some games give a different name to these types of matches — for example, slayer in Halo and combat in Perfect Dark, but the underlying concepts are identical.
