Nevertheless, if the player dislikes that character, they are able to choose another one from the list.
In the gaming aspect, team deathmatch has almost the same rules as deathmatch mode, except for: In the team deathmatch mode, players are organized in two teams, Resistance and Combine, both of them with different characters that appear exactly as they do in Half-Life 2. The game is server based and each server contains different rules for each round therefore there is no default time limit or kill limit for each round.
If a player is killed, they will respawn with 100 health points and the default spawn weapons, but will lose all the weapons and ammunition acquired before being killed. If the player accidentally self-kills, they lose points. The aim of the deathmatch is simple: the player must kill other players to score points.
Deathmatch includes some notable features such as instant respawn weapons that have specific spawn points and special abilities (sprint, flashlight, etc.).
