GMod's Best Forgotten Map

is that the real bigwig? if so it's a pleasure to see you here!

[@bigwig1386]

​@@RichterOvertime yup! one thing I'd say is I think it was originally uploaded in september 08. I remember because fallout 3 came out a month later and I was super hyped! oh and as far as I can tell nobody ever talks about the secret way back into the spawn. it involves trains >_>

I liked to explore these types of maps when I was a kid.

I wish I remembered the name, it would be cool to see you show off that one too

[@Csp499]

This and Bigwig's bigcity and buttes maps were commonplace on the ACF servers I frequented. For Atomic, one of those servers would have Mad Max themed events, so I took a 1950s style sedan I made, turned it into a monster truck covered in spikes and improvised armor, and put a 75(?)mm howitzer and machine guns on it, plus a skull on the steering wheel for good measure. Led raids on the shanty town, and forts set up at the oil tanks and the gas station. Fun memories.

[@rcmac206]

It's not forgotten, well, at least not by me. I still love playing on it

[@RushFreak]

I still remember when this map first came out, It was shortly after I had first gotten into GMod. It holds up extremely well. It was really impressive to see something with that level of polish and visual coherance, there wasn't much to compare it to as far as custom maps go, and where visually interesting full-grid maps were a novelty. This was back in an era where even gm_bigcity would cause many people frame dips. I was never much a multiplayer kinda person but It did see quite a bit of time from me messing around, and It ended up proving useful shortly after in a GMod video. This was well put together! I'd love to see more individual map showcases like this.

[@warman_RIYB]

love the editing and vibe of this video, good job my dude!

[@drstrangelove307]

Can’t wait to see Union City become one of these legendary maps in Gmod History.

[@friendofp.24]

Lol, I remember wanting to play this map as a kid but it required Episode 1 & 2. That's when I learned you could download all the assets from CSS and the Episodes from an unofficial site and put them into Gmod. This was the first map I played, then I proceeded to go on a downloading spree of all the maps I wanted to play but required CSS.

[@Captain23rdGaming]

Pretty good tour my dude aswell as the editing but I greatly do remember playing on this map alot back when I first got into Gmod and I'm happy to see people remember playing on this map aswell 😄

OKAY Richter this map is cool and all but I'm trying to find another one from the same time that was a representation of Fallout 1. It had Sandy Shades complete with the cannibal in the well, a vault, and an underground military base. One of them was connected to an outhouse I think...

I never knew I actually saw gm_bigcity before, but I had heard of it multiple times from one of my steam friends basically only playing on it while playing gmod. Hilariously, I'm pretty sure the first time I saw it was before I got Garry's Mod, and in a TF2 video.

[@labenvenci1584]

It's a shame no one uses Atomic anymore. I remember people used to make Sandbox or Fallout / PA RP servers. Such memories. Map memories include 1 Pony server, a few DRP servers, 1 Serious and 2 Sandbox. Most recent is a year ago. I remember one server using a edit with the Vault from CSC desert and a teleport to a big City with Fallout 3 Assets. Made some fun RPs and builds there. Such good memories.

[@mr.cinematics679]

I remember playing this map in TF2 eons ago(probably 2015/2016ish). It was an old server that I used to frequent back then, which I think shut down because I can't find it after that time period, sadly. If I recall correctly though, that server used to run Achievement_Turbo a lot, in case anyone remotely recognizes that specific server.

[@commanderfoxtrot]

gm_bigcity_sh is my favourite variant of gm_bigcity, especially if you get the additional navmesh mod to go with it so that all your VrejGaming NPCs and monsters can run around, or whatever mod adds the raptors that will follow you across the map. Add in Titanfall 2 weapons, a few parkour mods and a double-jump, plus Drones, Drones Rewrite, Drones Redux, Drones 2 and Drones 2 Addons, you can have a really fun time. Don't forget to bring your friends along, and make a Workshop collection for them to download for easier access to playing together. Finally, you'll want a few skins (to also add to the collection), like Rachel from Las Lindas, all the Team Fortress 2 classes, Jack Cooper and a few Spectres from Titanfall 2, or whatever else you think would work. And a final mod that you absolutely need (other than WireMod) is SeatGuns. That's how you play gm_bigcity_sh.
