Deathmatch? No Standard?

In Deathmatch you are supposed to start with all upgrades no? What they are calling Deathmatch is really Standard mode… Odd why so many changes, just needed new leaders & maps, Campaign. Will there be an actual Deathmatch mode?

I want changes otherwise I might as well play Halo Wars.

I was also expecting full upgrades and a ton of resources for Deathmatch though. Perhaps they’ve changed it permanently.

Just because its called deathmatch, doesn’t mean it resembles the gamemode from halo wars 1. The deathmatch type gamemode from halo wars 1 has been removed and will not be in halo wars 2

At first I thought it was a free for all based on its description in the Community Update.

Standard is deathmatch in halo wars 2 just renamed because there is other gamemodes now, suprisingly I like the gamemodes.
