Another TF2 Classic/Classified remake mod hits the Internet, this time it's Alphablaster/AgitationSkeleton/Vio/VioLink posting
Deathmatch Reclassified. Yet another deathmatch gamemode mod, this one copying the early TF2C beta versions of deathmatch and adding it to Classified as VScript. Based off the credits, this is largely composed of assets by people that split off to make Open Fortress. Some of the credited are also from the presplit TF2C and TDC groups as well.

This specific version of this gamemode is well over a decade ago and anyone old enough that remembers it is out of TF2 as a whole or not playing TF2C. The community that was alive to remember it was pushed out and thrown away by the developers. What's the point of constantly trying to bring this gamemode back when it's been cut and split at least three different ways now with Open Fortress, Team Deathmatch Classic, and Classic Prime? Now we get yet another "Team Fortress 2 but it has Quake-like Deathmatch" mod to add to the pile except it's now a community addon for the dumpster fire of TF2 mods that is Classified, the very mod that all these other mods split off from? Vio's Server (formerly Redchanit) is one of the few verified servers hosting with Classified, so it makes me wonder what behind the scenes drama is unfolding or level of desperation happening to come crawling back to the exact gamemode on the exact mod that caused years of fractures in the community.
