Official Grav-gun only map?

[acidrainy]

Personally I would love to see one of either type!

Provided of course there is lots of things to pick up and play with

 

[AntiAnto]

I wouldnt like to see the blue super one. It would be just too easy.

Yeah, agreed.
I thought that right after I voted :/

A combination might be nice. Maybe a sort of King of the Hill type game.. One person with the Blue-Gravity gun, and the others with the orange one (with the main target being the one with the blue gun).

 

[ArKTisK]

they should have a power up that turns the grav gun blue for a short period of time

I like that idea.. sortof like flag-tag or something.

seems like a good idea at first until you put yourself in the blue gravgun users shoes... try dodging about 500 toilets aimed for your head at once!

That's the beauty of the Juggernaut style of play. You're beefed up with some kind of advantage to help you kill...but then again everyone is out to get you. It's fun.

I like the king of the hill / juggernaut idea. One guy with a blue g-gun being chased by the rest with orange ones. No other weapons and a lot of things to throw about.

What I would personally like to see is a map w/o the gravity gun at all.

 

[Carnage_333]

mutant mode from UT 2004 would work well with the king of the hill blue grav gun idea.

 

[AGENT 15]

your crazy! what about all blue but just huge things, imagine seeing a bus come flying a hundred feet above you, then crushing the guy beside you. LOL! *chunk* whooooOOOOOOOSH! *BLAM!* lol... that would be awsome!

I just finished a wee sesh of multiplyers and it was grand, it truly was.
I think a Gravity Gun only map would be a bit dull, to be honest. From my admittedly limited experience the Grav-Gun is The Gentleman's Choice. It is the weapon chosen by the fellow wishing to distinguish himself from the shocking hoy-polloy of SMGs, pistols and other such crude paraphenalia.
Make no mistake, the Real Man is only content with flattening his dastardly foes with an angry, swift dose of porcelain.
As such, play normal maps with the Grav-gun only and prove YOUR SUPERIORITY AS A GENTLEMAN. Oh yes.
That is all.

I think there is room for both. I think a king of the hill type mode with the Blue Grav Gun would be great. Whoever has the blue gun longest wins type deal. Play for 10 minutes... Make a map with a TON of traps and stuff, so people can try to trap the blue grav gun guy and vice versa.

I have some other ideas too. e.g. a "virus" mode like TS2... but instead of Virus, have it called Headcrab. Start off with one guy with poison headcrabs and the goal would be to infect everyone. The poision headcrab guys could throw their crabs... anyhow make it all grav gun. And when a zombie dies you respawn at a set place like a graveyard.

There are a lot of good MP modes out there in other games to adjust and adapt. Personally I want assault/defend maps, objective maps, and most of all Control Point/Conquest maps like BF1942. As you can tell I want more TDM stuff, the formal everyone for themselves DM is sort of boring for me. I like working with people

 

[diluted]

Just played for a few hours, out of the couple hundred kills I racked up, only about 2 or 3 dozen were with a regular weapon. The gravity gun is so much fun. The other weapons suck... everyone just goes crazy with the SMG... while I throw radiators into the back of their heads.

 

[acidrainy]

Wow, thanks for all the input to this thread!
It certainly appears that people love the grav gun!

I do like ArKTisK's idea of starting with the orange default gun and the possibility of a power-up on a time delay! Is that a little too UT/Q3 though?

 

[Asuka]

2 maps:

1 for the reg grav-gun
1 for the blue grav-gun

 

[kenyo]

2 maps:

1 for the reg grav-gun
1 for the blue grav-gun

yeah!
a blue grav gun game for people wanting chaos and destruction!
everyone dieing all over, like 30 people playing counter-strike in a map that is way to small sep they can respawn!

then a norm grav gun game for people that don't want chaos, and want to live for at least 10 seconds, more of a game that death isnt as chaoticly comon.

 

[SupahFly]

I love the king of the hill concept !
There need to be A LOT of HUGE objects to throw for th blue gunner. and lots of open space. (i love seeing huge objects flying high through the sky in that street/building DM map

maybe another idea : somekind of pillowfight on the rooftops !
Huge soft objects to throw at ur opponents and try to kick them into the abys :d (object hit doesn t kill , but "throws u away")

yeah...could work.
i can live with one or possibly two grav gun maps.. but lets hope it doesn't become a common thing to map because then it would lose its shine :|

 

[Gorgon]

both blue and orange in one map, but you can't use the super one more than 3 kills ..............***les

 

[huff]

i think the blue one whould just be pretty gay ... u die instanlty as it grabs you? no thats pretty stupid and there is no defense towards it as with the orange u can atleast catch things bein throw at you ..

 

[acidrainy]

Wow! Great news everyone!
Here is an email I just got from someone at valve.

<[email protected]> to me
In the future there will be a server side option to turn any server into
gravity gun only.

We are also planning to make the MegaPhys cannon avaliable as a powerup
but don't have an ETA on that.

Thanks for the email.

w00t. Me and my friend tried HL2 DM for the first time the other day and we spent about an hour just messing about with the manipulator playing catch with explosive barrels and stuff. And manipulator only fights. Be good if someone makes a mod that allows you to grab rockets out the air if your quick enough.

 

[N|A-Orion]

any news on getting a grav gun only option? im doin a lan this weekend and would like to use this feature.

 

[MIXIDesertEagle]

It would be better if the blue grav gun had the ability to pick up everything except people.
But just thinking about it now,...how would you see over the cars and trucks?!

 

[N|A-Orion]

do we have an option for grav gun only yet?
