I don't think I've seen a thread for gungame yet there are so many for source cs:s where many end up bitching about its challenges. have you tried gungame? gungame removes so many of those pet peeves that ruin the gameplay in regular cs:s. ie: awphore, buying items etc etc. gungame is fast paced, like DM but with a twist. you must get a kill to advance to the next gun and depending on the server config, winning the round by knife or nade kill, etc etc. finally, the knife and nade are brought into play not to mention the huge resurgence into map making

while it may not be for everyone (those being pussies) its all we play at our lan house for a fps as nothing compares to its pace and fun. it is the shit! get that knife out and GO GO GO!

comments? Cheers!
 
I had given up on CS:S until I found Gungame... I really like it, but only play it in short bursts.
 
I generally consider gun game to fix most of the flaws in the gametypes for counter strike.

Basically the game remains round/team based but everyone starts on the glock, and works up through all the weapons starting with the pistols then subs/shottys, then assault rifles, snipers and finally the grenade and knife to finish with. The person who kills first with the knife on the last level wins.

Most setups have knifes turned on all the time allowing knife kills to accelerate your progression through the guns, some servers give you the next gun as soon as you kill with the one you're on allowing multiple levels per round, and some servers do away with rounds and let you spawn all the time which is funny.

Other round types include reverse gun lists so you start with the best weapons and work your way down.

It's fast paced, rounds are over in under a minute usualy.
It's more balanced, no awp whores ruining the server.
It's n00b friendly, anyone can pick this up.
It lets you try out a wide range of weapons.
It forces diversity in players/weapons.
It has diverse rounds.
It has small maps which are easy to learn.
It has maps that are hard to camp.

Counter Strike is basically all the best players getting the best weapons early and owning with them for the majorety of the rounds, one team almost always starts to lose early and stays losing unless something drastic happens. All the "pro's" camp with AWPs or just camp full stop and rounds become the same old rush or camp tactics which just get so boring in the end. Camping draws out rounds so you're in ghost cam most of the time if you're not very good.

Games should be played, sitting out and being punished for not being very good is a bad thing, players should be playing as much as possible and in the fray, the idea of punishing death to allow the round structure is a good idea but with long round times it gets very boring.

I wont play regular CS:S anymore, I only play gun game, leave regular CS:S for clan matches and leagues it's way to competative to play in pub servers as a chilled out bit of fun.
 
check out Thinking-Man's GG server

Gun Game - 8.3.7.89:27015

I just started playing GG myself and think it's a blast ..I really stink at it, but fun none the less :)

Nice, I'm gonna try some Gun Game when I get back from work.
 
Yup, I'll play a regular CS:S game every once in a while, but it's usually all about GunGame for me. Deathmatch Gungame in particular (where you automatically respawn after dying) is ridiculous amounts of fun.

I like it because (especially when I was new to CS) it let me try out all the different guns and see which ones I like best, and adds more variety to the game.

That sums up my thoughts precisely.

I started out playing CS:S but since I've found/gotten into GG, it's all I play. I too enjoy DM GG, I like the chaotic fun :)

I also enjoyed being able to use all the weapons. The few times I go back and play regular CS:S, I can use weapons that I wouldn't have found before but discovered through GGs

yeah I agree with these two. At first I was kind of disappointed with source play, but the gun game is fun and gun game with deathmatch is fun too
 
I have been playing GG off and on for months, and enjoy it a lot.

The various zombie mods are pretty cool too, though depending on the type of zombie mod, the options in use, and the maps on the server, the zombie mods can vary from awesome to boring, much more so than GG does, which is consistently good.
 
Any of you guys know of any good GG servers that stay full? I'd like to try some more modded servers but all the GG and Zombie servers I've tried are empty most of the time.

Do a search with the filters you want...and let it finish searching. Then add the ones that you see are full and keep them in your favorites. The "Titties and Beer" ones are usually full.
 
as much as i love just good ol CS:S or 1.6, gungame is amazingly fun

you bring it up now makes me want to go and play it right now, unfortunantly i have stuff to do so it'll have to wait
 
Our Clan has a GunGame server....however, it's a DoD Gungame server ;)

check it out under 89.163.147.11:27019

very well said. good synopsis. we dont play regular cs:s anymore either because of its challenges and the way people play it. its too unbalanced. gungame re-invents the game to where anyone has a chance. even if you fall behind in getting guns you can catch up with ease...and nothing feels as good as a knife kills. its the utmost pleasure in killing someone online PERIOD!

we drink as we play so I'd hate to hear us from outside. there is a lot of swearing..all in fun but it gets out of hand. its too much fun! best fps going

cheers!

EDIT: deathmatch is great to start at. quick, balanced action..gets the skills going then we usually go to regular GG. where is the filter or column seperating DM and regular GRRR ...but then where are all the options in the steam gui for filters and such. something so easy should be implemented. namely block!
 
gun game rules, i play on a server where you can only get 1 gun kill per round unless you find your next gun laying around on the floor, otherwise you have to pull out your knife no matter what after you kill 1 person with your gun and level up. Basically there is no attacking unless you will level up with the kill. It makes the gun game much better.
 
The only pet peeve I've heard of with CS:S was not being geared for competitive play like CS 1.6. I don't particularly care either way myself, I shoot someone with a gun, they die, I get shot I die, same in both versions.

That said, gun game is a simple but refreshing twist on CS:S play, in regular play it's generally the same guns being cycled over and over. It removes the penalty of using the less effective weapons by making it a mandatory step towards victory.

Warcraft 3 mod for CS:S/1.6 is a blast too.
 
event ho its an older thread im still gonna add to it :p

Ive been playing alot of GG as of late. only thing ive noticed is that my FPS drop like a rock at times...yet when im playing normal CSS they remain pretty damn high. Im assuming its the way the maps are laid out then the shear amount of shit going on vs CSS.
havent tried any zombie mod games...but if anyone has some decent IP addys for a zombie mod server hook me up please
 
i played gungame for cs:cz and usually tend to win it.

nothing that special. scrims are still way harder than those pub games if u like an challenge

it should remain constant. generally we dont play on a server >20 ping because it really means f'all if the server has jitter of warping. many do so one should watch for it
 
yes GG was a fantastic idea for cs. I havn't played source since christmas but I was addicted all last fall, switching between GG and surf maps.
