Sudden Death is a game mechanic often used in First-Person Shooter (FPS) video games to determine the winner when a match ends in a tie. This mode is typically triggered when both teams or players have the same score at the end of the regular game time.
In Sudden Death, the game continues for an additional period, but the rules are usually altered to increase the intensity and speed up the conclusion of the match. The most common change is that players or teams no longer respawn after being eliminated, making each player’s life extremely valuable. The first team or player to score a point, or the last one standing, wins the match.
This mode adds an extra layer of strategy and tension to the game, as players must balance the need to score points with the risk of being eliminated. It’s a thrilling and high-stakes situation that tests a player’s skill, strategy, and nerves to the utmost.
