Half-Life Deathmatch: Source Dedicated Server in Docker

Half-Life Deathmatch: Source is a Source engine port of the multiplayer portion of Half-Life. The game is given to players for free as part of their purchase of Half-Life: Source. Gameplay is similar to that of the original multiplayer component of Half-Life; players are spawned at random points across one of many maps and battle each other in an all out free-for-all.
