The Fretta server has it on the gamemode list. Doesn't get voted in much though.

It was fun. Believe me.

Bob's DM server used to host Suicide Barrels, along with other classics. But then it died due to lack of donations :'(

It took me a while to realize I really missed what was.
Guess you never know what you got until it's scattered and gone.
The reason for the lack of all those old gamemodes? That's easy, they're simple. You can't make thousands of DONATE FOR COOL SHIT motd's without making the gamemode unplayable. With RP and sandbox however you can just withhold things for money.
RP gamemodes are all stupid, Sandbox mods are all stupid (honestly people making money off "buying tools" is the most bullshit thing I have EVER heard).
A good server owner knows this: He is not selling services, he is accepting donations. He shouldn't have to give incentives for people to put a couple bucks his way, people should give them the money at will because they like the server and hope for it to stay around for a while.
Well, one problem is that people [i]do[/i] recreate these, but most people are like "lol i want rp onlyz" and thus you have a very small populace that actually wants to play it. Also small gamemodes like suicide barrels can only last so long before they get boring, so it's better they're mixed in with a few other minigame type gamemodes.
However, I'm in the process of a few gamemode developments at the moment (although stranded is already released), so I'll throw up a thread soon with a couple of servers with them on.
Yes I'm reinventing the wheel, but hell at least it means people can get at least a taste of what things were like while trying to give a new experience.
I'd love to just play that classic Fortwars game. That old 4-way 6-or-so players per team Fort War with just crates as your fort and the classic weapons. If only that, I would be so happy.
I miss woodwars. Now that was the shit.
Never played that either. I missed some of the old ones and that's an even bigger reason for people to recreate this stuff.
I've been told WoodWars is done in Sandbox. That true?
Yup. Modified sandbox that has a few kinds of props disabled and has its own custom weapons for things.
[QUOTE=russduck;16082832]I just wish somebody would host one or two servers with these. 16 or 20 players is perfect (4-6 players per team, if 4 teams on full server) for both Fortwars and Build-A-Bridge. Hide and Seek would only need like 10, 16 would be wonderful too. I wonder if that's been remade yet. The glider gamemode could be like 4 or 6 slots as well, they don't all require that many players to have fun.[/QUOTE]
What about Fretta?
I don't know - what about it?
About hide and seek, ever heard of prop hunt? It sounds pretty similar.
I've played prop hunt, pretty fun, but not the same thing :P It's real close though.
YAY i got something right.
Ok guys. someone needs to go out there and do this shit. make that build a bridge and fortwars. WE NEED IT.
Does anyone remember the small gamemode that came with GMod 9 , Where you would attach balloons and thrusters to your car to then fly the furthest and highest to win?
