Gungame

So we now have a Gun Game server, but I, for one, find the reverse Gun Game much more fun. It's much easier to keep the game exciting and people fighting for the win. You get one good player blasting through the weapons quickly and people get left behind with pistols trying to kill people with assault rifles and shotguns to advance. Reverse is much more balanced and fun.

But, it's not my server and my opinion is but one of many in this community. I'm just curious how others feel about it.

Also, how does everyone feel about Turbo as opposed to non-turbo, and advancing levels with knife kills? I've played a lot of Gun Game so I'm taking special interest in the operation of this server :)

I agree reverse is more fun in my opinion, plus stealing levels from other people with knife kills. Don't remember what turbo is, enlighten me.

What's turbo again?

Will we lose levels for suicides? (Obviously that can make the HE level tricksy).

I think you need to have people losing kills when knife killed (I'm agnostic on gaining a level for it), because it does flatten out the guy who gets lucky early and runs out ahead.

Man, I can't wait to be able to play again for a little changeup.

Turbo is when you automatically gain the new weapon without having to respawn, I think. Then if you died there was no real wait for respawning. If that is the case then I say yes. I always liked that feature. It made for a fast passed and hectic game.

Ew, half the fun of GG for me was getting a kill, then either sneaking around trying to knife someone or crazily looking for someone who'd died and dropped the next weapon I needed!

I know!

Yes, the turbo I'm referring to is getting your new weapon every round instead of magically materializing in your hands. I agree with Plinko's opinion, but it can also be an effective method of evening the playing field, so the pro player on one team doesnt fly through the first 8 or 9 weapons in one life.

Turbo mode is where you get the new weapon right away, and the most levels you can get in one round is 3. There is no respawning regardless of turbo mode, but I think there's an addon to add that functionality.

Well...if there is a cap on the levels I guess it's not so bad...normal is still more fun though :P

I prefer Stevo's other idea where the rotation is based on the color of the weapon.

I like reverse, as we have it, but prefer turbo mode greatly. If a player is good, their weapon devolves the farther ahead they get. If they're good enough that they're beating people using a pistol, when their foe has a machine gun, more power to them.
