Deathmatch

I never understood those computer games where the goal ends up being to kill other players. Isn’t there enough to do in the game, such as killing the computer monsters or completing the quests? That’s why I never played the Deathmatch mode in games like Doom. I wanted to kill the monsters and complete the puzzles, not just run around and see how many times I could frag people.

I mean in those games it boiled down to finding the respawning site. Then, you basically just stand there and shoot the person repeatedly every time they try to spawn into the game. This process of spawn, shoot, die, repeat will last until you finally run out of ammo. It’s just pointless.

Besides, you can still shoot your buddy in Cooperative mode. I used to let my stepfather walk into the rooms first and then shoot him in the back. I’d always follow with an innocent, “Oh my gosh! That imp just shot you.” I don’t know that he ever bought it. Especially when my frag total was higher than my kill count at the end of the level.
