Deathmatch

Teams: Two or More

Objective: To eliminate all players who are not on your team.

Overview: There are as many different variations of this game as there are nerfers. Sometimes there are respawns involved, sometimes there are bases or minor objectives to be achieved, sometimes there are medics etc. The two most common, however, are 3-15 and 4-20 elimination:

3-15: Every time a person is shot, they must leave the skirmish area, count out loud to fifteen, shout "Clear!" and then re-enter play. Each player is allowed three "lives."

4-20: Each person is given four lives instead of three, and counts to twenty instead of fifteen, otherwise this form is identical to 3-15 elimination.

Another form that was popular on the East Coast involves having a total of 10 hits, each player keeping track of his or her own remaining hits. When a player is hit, he or she continues playing, noting the hit and reducing the number of remaining hits. When a player's hits reach zero, that player is considered out for the rest of the round.
