a. Deathmatch
-------------
The most popular way to play Sin
Multiplayer is a Deathmatch, which has no
computer-controlled characters, just player
versus player! The goal of the game is to
kill your opponents more often than they
kill you. Each kill counts for one "frag",
and if you kill yourself then you lose a
frag, thus it's not a great idea to jump
off of tall buildings or shoot rockets at
your own feet.
After you die, press the fire button to
reappear, or "respawn," in the game. You'll
be brought back at one of several random
respawn locations. Throughout the map you
will find different artifacts, such as
weapons, ammo, health and armor, that are
needed to be successful at destroying your
enemy. When starting a Sin Multiplayer
Server, you have the option of making
weapons disappear when you pick them up and
respawn after time (length of time depends
on item), or they can be made to stay put
at all times so your Deathmatch experience
is a true Sinfest!
