i wasn't able to find any reference to a specific game mode built around the golden gun - the nearest thing i saw on the wiki was the command that enables players to spawn with the golden gun (ge_goldengun 1).
i suppose one could enable the golden gun on the server and enable teamplay as well, but the result wouldn't be anything like what i'd hope to see added into the game. enabling goldengun + teamplay would just be a team deathmatch game where some people randomly have golden guns at various times; it would lack the structure of a gametype specifically built around the golden gun.
there is actually a reference in the
Golden Gun article on the GES wiki, which describes it as this:
"The gun was most commonly seen in The Man with the Golden Gun gametypes. A modern equivalent to this gametype would be a Halo-style Juggernaut match with a single player having a large advantage over the other players."
that's pretty much what i'd like to see: halo juggernaut style, using the golden gun - except the other (non-juggernaut) players would be on a team to prevent them from killing each other. another possible change (as suggested earlier) would be that instead of a player becoming the juggernaut/
man with the golden gun by making the kill on the current juggernaut, they have to actually
pick up the golden gun off the ground. this would have its own advantages and disadvantages.
an advantage being that you can choose more precisely and strategically when to become the "man with the golden gun". you generally want to
kill him right away (so he doesn't kill you, and get more points), but you might not want to actually
become "man with the golden gun" right away. for example, if you have zero health after making the kill, or if you have multiple people standing right behind you, you'd get it and die right away, wasting it for nothing. being able to pick the gun up off the ground would allow you to choose the moment you become hostile. the disadvantage would be that you could get a hard-earned kill on the current
man with the golden gun, but then someone else could run by and steal it off the ground without any effort. maybe you could lock the golden gun for whoever made the kill for like the first 30 seconds, then it becomes free for anyone to grab, heh. now i'm getting way ahead of myself!
anyways, thanks for reading, and keep up the great work
