Free-for-All


 * "Deathmatch" redirects here. For the team-based alternative, see Team Deathmatch.

Free-for-All (FFA), also known in some games as Deathmatch, is a game mode for 8 players where it is every player for themselves. While a few years back it might have been the most popular match type and the standard, in this new age of gaming, FFA games are much less popular. In CoD4, the number of people playing it is usually under 1,000. Due to the smaller groups of people, the games usually take place on smaller maps. It takes place in the smaller or medium sized maps.

Hardcore Free-for-all
New in World at War is a hardcore version of Free-for-All. Same rules apply except players have 30% of normal health. Upon death, respawn time is fixed at 7.5 seconds (unlike 15 second waves in Hardcore Team Deathmatch), during which time the dead player can spectate other players. However, due to the fact of it being a hardcore mode, as well as widespread camping and simply the fact that it is every player for themselves with basically one hit kills makes the playlist considerably less popular than its regular counterpart.
