It's a miracle this still has active players from time to time!
I had a lot of fun playing with a handful of people :)

As the name suggests, a real classic.
Deathmatch Classic is as simple as it gets. Start it up, connect and go shoot people.
The game is a mod from Half-Life in which the original Quake multiplayer has been refined with shinier textures, enhanced models and lightening.
The game play is fast-paced, you re-spawn instantly and the carnage only end when the time is up. I had so much fun with this game and it is still one of the best, yet the simplest online First Person Shooters that I played today.
There are a lot of different weapons scattered around the map like shotguns, machine guns and rocket launchers. Ammo is plenty and while rushing through the stage, you can always find more. The rocket launcher is a little overpowered sometimes, but it does require some skill to land a rocket at the right time between someone’s eyes, so in that perspective, it is well balanced.
The graphics are the same as Quake, but a lot more shinier and more detailed. Not that I cared that much, this is one of those games that would play just as well in 8-bit (as a matter of speech), but the solid frame rate and smooth transition makes this game beautiful in its own way.
The sound design in Death Match Classic is straightforward and uses the same format as Half-Life. It is just as good and when blowing people up with a rocket, the satisfying explosion lets you know you blasted someone’s ass to the moon.
When talking controls, this is the best aspect of the game. Because it is so simple, it plays so fluently that I have the feeling like I am in total control. Aiming is spot on, moving is fast and responsive and changing weapons easy. It is one of the best and most responsive control schemes I have ever experienced to this day. Maybe this is just a weird feeling or something, but still.
There are some matches in which other players are just so good at the game that I don’t know what is happening around me because everything is going so fast, but most times, I just join the fun and enjoy chasing the bastard that just killed me in my previous spawn.
Deathmatch Classic is, in my opinion, one of the fairest shooters out there. What I mean by this, is that everyone, including noobs like me, has a solid chance on wrecking some kills. There are many online shooters in which I just did not stand a chance, but with this game, I always have a fair amount of kills, motivating me to keep playing.
Overall, I really liked Death Match Classic, despite its simplicity. It is one of those games that does not feature all that extra hassle of gaining levels, upgrading stuff, ranking boards, loot boxes etc. It is a blast from the good old days that gives you a break and brings back the definition of Death Match games.
I would surely recommend this little gem to everyone.

Este modo de juego no me gustó, se siente muy primitivo y vale lo mismo que el juego base, aunque es bueno como fueron mejorando.
Hay pocas cosas tan divertidas como un shooter multijugador. Encima, con el nivel del caos que tiene Deathmatch, debía ser una maravilla reunir a un grupo y empezar a matarse sin ningún objetivo en particular. Pero sin un grupo al que consigas reunir para jugar a un juego que ya en 2001 se empezaban a sentir anticuado, no hay juego. Es la tristeza de los multijugador, todos están destinados a desaparecer.

Deathmatch Classic is a spiritual successor to the deathmatch game mode of Quake, it features really similar gameplay, weapons, and maps ending up just like if it was a GoldSrc version of Quake.
And as expected from a Valve Deathmatch game, it's a ton of fun. it's a deathmatch game, there's nothing else to say, just get on and get some frags!... Actually, you can't... because this game is dead as hell! Literally, all servers are empty, I had to sit for a while in an empty one till a rando joined and it was a 1v1 but still a ton of fun.
I'd like to say "Do give it a try!" but you can't! So, maybe check out the Source version of Deathmatch it might have more players, may you rest in peace with Ricochet.

The game itself is great and fun, sadly most servers are more or less dead. Still got a small community though and playing this always is chaotic but also joyfull
