Developed by Facepunch studios, Garry’s Mod is named after its creator Garry Newman. It is one of the first community-driven games which lets PC gamers to play with tools they want.
Prop Hunt which is more of a modified game version of “hide and seek” is one of the most popular Garry’s Mod game modes. In this mode, the prop disguises objects on a map making them blendable to the environment. You either play as the hunters or the props. The hunter’s objective is to hunt the props and kill them. The hunters win the round when all props are killed, whereas, the props win when time runs out or all Hunters die.
Two teams take on each other on the battlefield; the Red team and the Blue team. The Red team chooses a prop from a wide variety. They try to blend in the environment to hide from the blue team. The Blue team, on the other hand, is fully armed and focused on seeking and destroying the red team disguised as props.
The wide availability of props and maps is a perk you get due to other source games running on the game engine such as Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The game starts fresh after the completion of each round.
Props are All Around You
Garry’s Mod – PropHunt Hide n Seek is originally based on Garry’s Mod. This implies that it automatically covers all the options of Garry’s Mod such as creating custom tools and utilizing assets from any source game. This gives players a lot of flexibility to create and enjoy amazing situations.
The “prop” that the red team uses as a disguise can be selected from any game run on the server. The PropHunt also works on many of the Garry’s Mod extensions.
Garry’s Mod – PropHunt Hide ‘n’ Seek – Original is worth playing for all Gmod fans. It provides a similar gameplay for anyone familiar with the Source game, but in a less fun, violent and wacky manner. You may experience a few glitches around the edges and you should know that this mode was developed independently
Half-Life 2: Campaign & Team Fortress 2: Invasion are two of the most popular games you can play on GMod. Here is a brief overview of both:
Half-Life 2: Campaign

Team Fortress 2: Invasion
Team Fortress 2: Invasion is a cancelled TF2 version which was in development between 2001 and 2002. It has undergone various design modes from Humans vs Aliens to the War of the Worlds. However, this was not publically revealed. Its gameplay is different from any TF2 game. The objective is to get more resources before a round ends. Resources are used to build objects for your team. Spawn vehicles such as Motorcycles, Wagons, Battering ram, Siege tower, alien-exclusive tripods referred as striders or walkers at the vehicle bay!
The buildable objects include Sentry guns, Powerpack, Buff Station, Healing Station, Spawn Station, and the Resource Pump.

It requires a serious gameplay such as playing: a part in the military in a war environment, an oppressed citizen or even as a fictional character in a universe. Other roles are light in nature and do not feature a fixed setting or a character’s role.
DarkRP
DarkRP was created as a modified version of LightRP. Its development team changed hands a few times until Falco took matters in control. This game mode does not require a serious role.
