Half-Life Deathmatch: Source Server Hosting, Explained
New to Half-Life Deathmatch: Source?
What is Half-Life Deathmatch: Source?
Half-Life Deathmatch: Source is Valve's 2006 recreation of the first multiplayer game set in the Half-Life universe, with all the classic weapons and most-played maps, now running on the Source engine. Players spawn, grab weapons, ammo, health and armor around the map, and fight free-for-all until a frag or time limit ends the map. It plays like a classic arena shooter: fast movement, map knowledge and control of the weapon pickups.
Classic Deathmatch.
Free-for-all by default, or team play when you turn it on.
The Classic Maps.
Crossfire, Boot Camp, Bounce, Datacore, Snark Pit, Stalkyard, Undertow and more.
Why rent a server?
What is Half-Life Deathmatch: Source Server Hosting?
Players often find public servers empty, so running your own lets your group pick its own maps, rules and password. A listen server needs one player to keep the game open and forward ports. A dedicated server runs on its own around the clock, with a stable address. With Physgun it deploys in minutes, with the start map, tick rate and passwords in the panel, match rules in the config editor, SourceMod one setting away, and full file access over SFTP and SSH for your maps and plugins.
Always Online.
Your server stays up when you log off, so your group can play any time.
Full Control.
Set your map, match rules and passwords, add custom maps, and run SourceMod plugins.
