Gcombat (or how I stopped worrying and love the bomb)

October 28, 2007

I feel it’s time to tell you about this wonderful mod I discovered a week ago, and which is very popular among the Garry’s Mod players. I was a little skeptical at first, but now, I absolutely love it !

In a nutshell. Gcombat (the Gmod Conflict Or Minor Battle Action Toolkit)  is a combat mod for Garry’s Mod which allows the player to destroy any prop with a bunch of very diverse weapons such as flak cannons, howitzers, or machine guns. This is unprecedented in the history of Gmod and opens new horizons: players can now wage war against eachother without having to use already destroyable props and invent complicated rules (cf. WoodWars). Besides, the system is very flexible: the building of any vehicle is really piss easy, you can stick weapons to any prop…

You can find this great mod in the forum thread : right there. This mod also has a forum of its own. You’ll need Wire to fire the Gcombat weapons (don’t worry, you only need to know the basics) : www.wiremod.com

If you aren’t convinced yet, here are a few videos. I know it’s not much, but I’ve just started using it!

My second gcombat tank. It’s okay in my opinion. Very basic.

The last thing I built, a plane ! Great handling.

That’s all for now!
