Gun Game for Dirty Bomb

#1

Would you like a Gun Game mode for Dirty Bomb? Answer above.
Feel free to comment too as well.

Below is my own personal experience, which has nothing to do with the poll.
The poll is JUST about ANY SORT OF GG MODE FOR DB.

My personal experience of GG:

This mode I just löve ™

I löve it in Counter Strike Source (<3 crazy fun custom maps + custom sounds)
I löve it in Day of Defeat Source (<3 crazy fun custom maps + custom sounds)
I like it a lot in Counter Strike GO (Has Gun game in menu, but there its only 8 or so maps, and no “fun-sounds” like “megakill”, or “UUUULTRACOMBO”, or whatever the admin puts in for fun when you make awesome kills. CS: GO does have Gun game for custom servers too which are more fun.)

It is alright in COD BO1 (maps arent designed for it, and no fun sounds)
It is alright in COD BO2 (maps arent designed for it, and no fun sounds)

Pretty please with sugar on top, :slight_smile: Let me pay (or get it for free) a gun game mode with fun sounds + very small aim maps for this mode in Dirty Bomb!

It is 100% fun and addicting, when you just want 100% fun for 20 min.

I dont claim everyone likes the spree-sounds or spree-music and much as I, but I, I löve it!

I have only every played GUN game or FPS.

I have tried Diablo 3 and LOL… Back before that it was N64 haha

Here is the basics:

First to level 30 wins.
You may start with pistol and only that one, and after killing 1 or 2 oponents (depending on setting) you gain rank and recieve new weapon.
The new weapon on the new rank is accessed directly when you gain the new rank. And now you only have this one, lets say another pistol.

Order may be:

  • All pistols
  • All mini-SMGs
  • All normal SMGs
  • All assaults
  • All LMGs
  • All Snipers
  • Next to last level may be nade
  • Last level may be knife

Its direct action (no waiting), high action mode. If you join late on server you dont start from the beginning.

There is settings available if you are an admin, that admins should avoid. (bad settings: )

  • Not ranking linear = Using random weapons every 60 sec (the fun of ranking get removed)
  • Knifing some will remove their rank (it pisses people off)
  • Knifing someone will steal their rank (this is rarely used since it promotes winning this way)

I dont know if explaining it, will help understanding it.

I suggest trying it out in CS:Source to find out what it is.

Its not normal game mode. Its for servers who specificly run gun game mode, and gun game maps. It has different settings / rules and small maps so you can play it with few people.

Its sounds like a fun mode, but I’d imagine Devs would leave it to modders

#8

Actually Devs of CS:GO put it in, as a real mode, and called in “Arms Race”. Its the same thing as Gun Game, but “professional maps” and no fun sounds.

(Szakalot) #9

I have no problem with Devs making this work; but there is lots n lots of stuff i’d consider higher priorities right now (maps, UI, matchmaking, bugs)

(INF3RN0) #10

I like it in CS, but I don’t know how this would work with mercs.

#11

True.

I’d would like DB to succeed first with its main stuff.

But, when its reasonable done, it would be an awesome extra mode :slight_smile: Then I could play gun game in Dirty bomb instead of in CS:S or CS:Go.

(Rex) #12

Where is the option “maybe in 10 years” ?

(DJswirlyAlien) #13

Nope. Nothing personal but its a terrible game type and a terrible idea.

I’d prefer SD adding modding capabilities 100000x more than adding a mode like gun game.

Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime. => Give some gamers a game mode and they will have fun for a few months, give them modding tools and they will have fun for years :slight_smile:

I wonder how fast W:ET would have died if it did not have awesome mods like shrubet, etpub and etpro (sorry pro gamers of the world for mentioning etpro and two pub mods in the same sentence). And lets not forget total conversions like True Combat: Elite and Enemy Territory Fortress, those were great fun too!

Not to say Gun Game isn’t a heap of fun btw :slight_smile:

This works in CS because you have different tiers of guns. In DB there isn’t really such a distinction.

(prophett) #16

This x 100!!!

(Phandy) #17

It could be called Merc Mode, and you play through a ordered set of mercs, you have to get a certain amount of XP as each merc to move onto the next. Mercs could be limited in some ways to make them interesting (like medics can only revive/heal, fragger only has nades).

¯_(ツ)_/¯

This mode only works in certain games where the damage received packs a more mean “realistic” punch.
It works in the CS franshise, somewhat in the CoD franchise and less in the BF franchise.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with Dirty Bomb, but the ET/Brink/DB games aren’t similar in way you play these other games.
There’s more a level of skill and high intensity play rather than the better-weapon-one-hit-kill in the ET-style games. More “tricky” -if you know what I mean.

Furthermore, it’s just like tokamak says: there’s no tier destinction in the ET-style weapons to make it work.

I personally think this one’s for the modders to handle when/if that time comes.

I dont like this idea but I do have to say it might be better then crap OBJ mode…

SW and OLTL will be easy to make. Heck SW is basically there and needs to be polished and maps fixed.

Please NO! The 100 modes is what ruined ET. It split the community into tiny little groups. I wanted to keep playing so much but the only modes with people were shrub, etpub and jaymod; plus then these server owners started adding random crap that you need to download and it made the game ugly.

DB right now needs to focus on a getting the game ready for Open Beta which I am sure if Months if not a year away. SW will be the main Comp mode so hammer down and get that right. After that work on OLTL and then replace OBJ mode with something or fix it!

3 Main and totally different modes will give people the chance to try new things and give them a break from other modes. Not take SW and cut it in half and make it a spamfest with no clear objectives and very unbalanced. OBJ needs to be like BF with A, B and C or Hard Point (Maps are small enough) or cap the flag or King of the hill or straight up TDM or some awesome combinations that is balanced between both teams.

i realy dig the idea, but since there is no option “mb later” i voted “Meh”

Gun mode will work with some merc restrictions. (for example all players are fops, or all mercs are proxy)
Merc mode is a much more unique idea - i like it even more.
The thing is that Mercs will not be stronger and stronger here - because they are not balanced that way. it will be “The player, who masters all mercs and all weapon ranges wins”

so yeah - mb later.
