Play in “DeathMatch” Mode: Launch a multi-player DeathMatch game in which you play
against, rather than cooperate with, other players. You can’t see your opponents on the map or
switch to their viewpoint, nor will you begin in the same area.
Play in “Deathmatch II” (altdeath): Similar to a regular DeathMatch, except that objects will
reappear after 30 seconds, killing yourself subtracts from your score, and negative scores are
possible.
Fast Monsters: Gives monsters extra speed. This is standard behavior for the Nightmare skill
level.
Respawn Monsters: Monsters will remain dead for around eight seconds, then return with a
vengeance. This is standard behavior for the Nightmare skill level.
No Monsters: Start a game with no monsters. Commonly used for DeathMatch play, when
monsters can be an unwanted distraction.
