Prop Hunt

The most popular game mode on Garry's Mod.

There are two teams: The Props, and the Hunters.

The props have the ability to turn themselves into almost any object in the map -- from oranges to entire tables -- and must disguise themselves to hide from the Hunters, whose goal is to find them and kill them before the time runs out.

While players spawn with the default 100hp, the amount of health you have depends on what object you change into; small objects have only 1-3hp, while larger objects can have as much as 200hp. The hunters also spawn with 100hp, which decreases by 5 for each time they hit something that isn't a prop. Thus, if they aren't careful, it's possible for the hunters themselves to die.

While Prop Hunt is quite popular, it's far from perfect. There are several flaws with the game, such as:

-Balancing; if you play the game enough, you'll realize that the Hunters win almost every time.
-If the Props win by default (All the hunters die), the game will declare "Hunters Win!" instead of "Props Win!".

-Props with only one HP have incredibly terrible hitboxes while moving. It's not uncommon to shoot a moving one HP prop and see ACTUAL BLOOD, but it still doesn't die. "HE'S BLEEDING EVERYWHERE!!!"

-Speaking of which, some props are incredibly unfair, such as the pencil and the billiard balls.

-Small props can get into areas that are inaccessible to the hunters, almost always requiring a noob tube.

-Props can not adjust the way they face, but the prop "moves" with the camera, making it impossible to tell if you're facing the wrong way if you're hiding as something like an office cabinet.

-It's not uncommon to accidentally change into an incredibly large object and not only get stuck, but stick out like a sore thumb as well. Plus, it may be difficult or impossible to switch into something else.

Despite this, it remains quite popular with the VanossGaming Crew.
