Team Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch is a game mode in the Battlefield series that has only been featured in two Battlefield games: Battlefield 1942, and Battlefield 3. The goal of the game mode is to reach the score limit set by the server by accumulating an amount of kills equal to the score limit.

Gameplay
Team Deathmatch is played in an enclosed arena usually surrounded by an 'out of bounds' area. The goal of the game mode is to acquire the amount of kills to match the score limit and thus win the game, the score limit is set by the server and can range from 50 points to well over 500.

Team Deathmatch contains no vehicles and is thus played entirely on foot. There are no weapon restrictions (unless imposed by the server), but weapons that only target vehicles are useless yet still selectable.

Battlefield 3
The game mode consists of two sides with a minimum of four players per side on all platforms; consoles have the usual 24-player limit, while PC players can join servers with up to 64 players.

The player kill system in Battlefield 3 makes it impossible for a deathmatch game to end in a draw, in a game with a score limit of 100 the maximum score of both teams combined can not exceed 199.

Team Deathmatch Close Quarters
Team Deathmatch Close Quarters (Team Deathmatch 16 Players in the loading screen) is a gametype added in the 1.05 update for Battlefield 3 because of the Battlefield 3: Close Quarters expansion pack. Instead of a total of 24 players like regualer Team Deathmatch, it pits 8 players on each team against each other. The gametype is available on all maps and is not exclusive to players who own Close Quarters or Battlefield Premium. The rules for the variation are the exact same as for regular Team Deathmatch albiet the smaller player count.
