Ummm... why not just join a Team DM and a Round-based? It's really easy to do and the differences will become apparently very quickly. Why wait around for people to ask, when you can play and learn? No harm in doing that. Find your own answers, when they're easily achievable.
If you are curious about Objective, you must first download the Objective map called "The Hunt". Then, it's easy to join one and find out.
---------------------------------------
Here's my take...
Basically, Deathmatch is mostly played by people new to first person shooters, as more experienced players have become tired of deathmatches.
Team Deathmatch is the next step up in evolution for shooters. It involves a little bit of team cooperation, but not much. Really isn't too different from Deathmatch.
Round-Based brings you more into the realm of serious players. Round-Based type playing was popularized by games like Counter-Strike. In them, you only have 1 life. No respawning, if you die you spectate the rest of the round. This requires you to play with much more strategy than the previous two game styles. Also, the lives of your teammates are much more important as the winner of the round is the first team to eliminate the other. You have to work much more cooperatively with teammates and should try to watch each others back, do what's best for the team, etc. if you want your team to win the rounds.
The most advanced form is the Objective-based games. It requires the same kind of strategies as Round-based, but more of it. In Objective matches, your team is either working towards accomplishing an objective, (blow up the bridge, steal the secret plans, rescue the hostages, etc), or defending those objectives. Even more-so then Round-based, strategy is crucial. A consistantly winning team is one where players perform specific roles within the game, coordinate movements, communicate effectively, etc. This isn't to say that some people don't just run and and shoot shoot shoot and could care less about coordinating efforts. You can do that and many do. However, Objective-based and Round-based matches reward good teamwork and are structured in a way where being a lone gunmen often finds you sitting on the sidelines while those who work together succeed.
None of these gamemodes requires you to be a better shooter than other modes. Think of it more as advancing levels of strategy and teamwork. These elements are what are breathing new life into the otherwise tired genre of shooters. Give Round-based and Objective-based a shot. You'll like it much more in the end.
