Some of you may remember sbox 2 that was a build only server, which died out. Instead, of a build only server, I'd like to suggest a different kind of sbox 2. This one is based purely on pvp. So instead of tools and weapons, its mostly just weapons. But instead of just taking all the weapons and entities from the sbox server we have now, I'd like to suggest some major differences:
-All maps are made for pvp. so no gm_hugehill or gm_slopes or gm_mines. To an extent no freespace either, which ill get to why in my next point. The maps in this sbox 2 are smaller or large but can work well in pvp like warmap. There would also be maps that are only available in this server, since they wouldn't work well in regular sbox, like pyrosandbox.
-The weapons are very simple. The kind you can just equip and use like serious sam, cso or toybox sweps. And its very basic. no tanks or LFS (maybe WAC, thats up for discussion). This is to make everything more fast paced and simple. You just get in the game and shoot whenever you feel like. As for entities like grappling hook and exosuit, again thats up for discussion. it adds variety, but this is more about simplicity and getting right into the action as you respawn and things like grappling hook is removed when you die and you have to fix the settings when you re-equip it. This is also why I'm referring to maps like freespace not being included since there's just ground mobility, and snipers would be everywhere instead of all types of gunfights.
-Way less tools. adv dupe, and maybe wire would be allowed. some others that could work are radio spawner and npc controller for pve events. but barely any building tools since the main focus is ground pvp instead of basing and defending.
-Most of the rules would still transfer over like since you can still build, no prop block and no spawn camping. And some of the things we have now like spawn protection, LFG pointshop, and uber weapons can carry over.
This my suggestion for a different sbox 2. I don't plan on adding a poll yet because I want to see what your opinions are and if Saint even allows sbox 2 again, what a final version that we can agree on would be like.
