Thoughts on Gun Game (Poll inside)

So im here wondering how you guys feel about Gun Game on this server, honestly i think it is fucking terrible.

When i get on gmod i always get on the seriousttt server which has the most people (generally more than 30) even tho most of the servers generally have 25+ people on them, even with 25 people gun game is a cluster fuck. It was entertaining and funny the first few times i experienced it, but now its just annoying and not "fun." It takes no skill and at all to win it with this many people on maps that are this small, it would be ok if the maps were about 2-3 times bigger but these maps are way too small to host gun game for 30+ people, although there are some bigger maps where its not as bad. The best comparison i can think of is Black Ops 1 for PS3 back in 2010 which is the first time i ever played gun game, it was limited to if i recall 6 players on maps that were twice as big as the bigger maps on here, AND IT WAS FUN AS HELL. Games would last 5 minutes on BO1 vs the like 60-90 seconds its over in on gmod. Even on the servers with less people (closer to like 15-20) its still too many people imo.

Hidden and Harpoon wars are infinitly more fun and its more about wanting to play these two modes more often. This isnt a petition to remove it, rather just to see how you guys feel about it

 

Honestly the only fun round that I enjoy is The Hidden
The others suck dick.

 

I'll say Harpoon Wars, Hidden, One in the Chamber, Headshot Wars, Gun Game

Mostly because the amount of interaction you get from Gun Game is lacking. It's mostly just, don't get knifed!

EDIT: Forgot TDM, would put it Harpoon Wars, Hidden, TDM and the remaining is the same

 

It's mostly just, try not to get your kills stolen and steal other's kills!

I hate gun-game.

 

yeah gun game is fucking broken on the majority of the maps played

 

Gun game is the worst of all the fun round

 

Gun game is easy point earning mode so i like it.

 

It's also headache inducing with all the stolen kills and shitboxes

 

Gun-Game is eh, most maps its broken, some maps its actually fun, but for this I will still say yea, gun game is pretty bad.

 

Harpoon war and The Hidden are always funny, but I think if they remove others fun games and we play more those kind of games, we'll get bored of them and we'll ask for the other games... So, I vote yes because you're right, but I think the better idea is leaving things as they are.

 

I personally don't enjoy gun game that much and it's mainly due to the issues created by the unusual spawning.

I have no idea how to improve this however I wouldn't like to see the mode removed, but slightly adjusted.

 

Gun Game is fun in my opinion... though I agree with Hello my friend that the spawns need to be fixed.. maybe a random spawn system

 

i dont mind gun game

 

I'm actually enjoying Gun Game quite a lot. I agree, the spawns are messy, but I like the game itself.

 

There are 2 major problems with Gun game:
-Spawns
-Lag
The thing with spawning is that you are already spawned before you even get back to the fight (It sounds odd but it's actually true, before even being able to move or see, your player model is already there), thus giving your opponents an advantage over you.
And now the lag... It usually only applies at the beginning of this minigame, and is even more severe on smaller maps (mostly because of the guns you get, first 3 of them are smg's).
Truth be told, it's not that great to begin with, but it's not bad either. It just needs a few fixes.

 

It's a brilliant idea just poorly executed.

Simple fixes

• Only triggers on maps with a variety of spawn points around the map (i.e not Black Mesa or Innocent Motel)
• 1.5 seconds of spawn immunity to give players chance to actually get into the game without little fuckboi jonny spaming at the same headshot height the entire map.

 

I like this idea but there would need to be some kind of indicator that the 'spawn shield' is active. That way we aren't wasting our clips on protected players. If that makes sense.

 

Well Im sure the outline used in TDM to identify friendly players could be added as a "shield"

 

Good idea. I like it.

 

Let's say that the spawn immunity is applied. We are still left out with the lag caused by the amount of shots.
Any ideas on that problem?
