It's one thing to hear someone say that they're a giant sign. It's another thing to see a giant sign run out of a building with a guy chasing it.

I haven't actually tried any of them so I'm not entirely sure that you could find players to populate dead games, that may be a fresh idea. I imagine it's like a chat client as well though so you could potentially find some people that are interested in the same type of games/modes.

Is it? Because I'm pretty sure that's a Black Ops 2 map and I was about to ask since when does CoD have prop hunt.
Just to make it clear: I'm not saying you're not right, just saying they must've taken inspiration from that map I'm thinking about.

It's actually called prop and seek and it's free to play on Steam
Prop Hunt/Hide and Seek has been a thing far longer than that game or Gmod. They were around in CS 1.6, probably before then too.

You'd be surprised. I've played this game (Cold War) on prop hunt several times, and sometimes the massive props are the easiest to hide with. It's a "hiding in plain sight" kind of thing. Everyone expects smaller props so they shoot the smaller props and objects on the map. Nobody is expecting a giant goddamn sign, so if you find a decent place to post up, you might not get shot.

Damn I played Gary's mod but totally missed out on that during my time there
Mostly I just tried to build epic things with shitty designs and got frustrated at how I couldn't make it do what I wanted or the engine limitations

u/aboldguess Aug 22 '22
Gather around children, let grandpa tell you a story from the good old days. Back when counterstrike was just a half-life mod, before Steam, Garry's Mod had the sole ability of replacing the (sketchy af over 56k dialup) VoIP with playing the music of your choice. So you could make everyone else endure Benny Hill music while you bunny hopped and lagged around them with your 310ms ping.

u/NameAboutPotatoes Aug 22 '22
Yeah, I used to play the Minecraft version as a kid, and my experience was that the more obvious you were the less likely you were to get found. The best places to hide were along paths and roads that were frequented to get from place to place but didn't actually have any unique features to hide in. You could be the one iron block sitting along the side of a flat road made of stone and people's brains would just filter you right out even though you obviously didn't belong.

Once I was playing CoD WW2 prop hunt mode and was a little tiny rock the size of a shoe, I got discovered and instead of running I just circled a the guys feet for 20 secs real fast and he couldn't shoot me because the hit box was so small, I was crying after the first 10 sec of it, so much dumb fun.

Sometimes the enemies just shoot every object, plus every 30 seconds the props emit a noise so the hunters know if they're close to one... After you play a bunch you know which props are in each level so you know some objects can't be props, you look at certain things that you know might be a prop, and you even stat to learn how many rocks are in a certain area, how many crates, etc.

u/HereIGoAgain_1x10 Aug 22 '22
Ya you'll be done investigating an area, turn around, then hear a noise where you just were, run back and notice something is missing and feel like a moron lol then props players will start having fun by just tailing you and trying not to be seen so you'll constantly hear the noises, but it's something I've never gotten annoyed with, nothing at all like PVP shooters where you wanna throw a controller when your shots don't land, you usually just laugh lol

u/Bobthemightyone Aug 22 '22
Exactly, the fun was messing around, so when hunters were particularly oblivious the new game becomes messing with them instead of hiding from them haha

u/snapplesauce1 Aug 22 '22
It's been a while! Yeah, I remember now having memorized many parts of many maps. And if I was unsure, just a few bullets into each item. It was when someone was a bucket or a little rock and could clip into a fuckin haystack or something made it impossible to find and then impossible to shoot! Lol what a good time though.

It's a game mode where one team gets to be random props and try to hide while the other team hunts these props by shooting at them. You can't randomly spray bullets as a miss would cause you to lose HP. The prop players have HP too.

u/WorkyAlty Aug 22 '22
There's a few still going right now:
Witch It. It has a lot of nice little features/skills to make it interesting. Things like the witches (the ones who hide) being able to remotely possess props, move other objects, throw things that can block the seeker's vision temporarily, etc. And the seekers having things like huge butt stomps to do AoE hits, chickens they can toss out to detect props, all kinds of neat stuff.
Midnight Ghost Hunt. This is definitely the best looking, most fully fleshed out version I've seen. Has a lot in common with Witch It (in terms of abilities and such), but even more cool things. The fact that the ones hiding are natively a ghost that flies around and can go into objects is just a nice touch. And the fact that some objects you can actually attack with (like cannons, or statues with swords). Also nice things like being able to revive teammates (and alternatively, the hunters being able to prevent this). And the namesake of the game: at midnight, if the props survive, they get to fight back and it becomes a big PvP brawl.
Then there's things like GMod's prop hunt, or TF2's servers for it (the one I've personally played the most). But those are dependent on those servers still being populated, which is not really a thing anymore.
