I have never played Horde anywhere else.
>I don’t like the griefing potential that comes with this mechanic, where people can pick up dropped weapons from people with very small amounts of cash, who would essentially just be useless in subsequent waves.
Yeah, but that doesn't really happen on the /mlp/ server. you can usually just ask for dosh and people to look for your guns (if they haven't been blasted away by Source physics [some weapons can do this]).
A class like warden is really good if you want to try things out without losing everything, because you'll keep your towers even if you die. Those towers help everyone, and Horde, at the end of the day, is a co-op gamemode. Engineer is another class, though you ideally want to place your turrets where they won't die while you're dead, and you can even make money from their kills while you're dead. Anons tend to congregate around Engineer turrets, or follow their minions, so it's a safe class.
Also, playing safe and not seeking out kills is the best preventative to stop you from losing your guns. If you need extra cash, there are other mares. You could also just use budget high-power weapons like a deagle if your class allows it, and it's worth remembering you can change classes once per wave during the buy phase, so it's not like you can't, for instance, play Survivalist to stay alive (which, IMO, does live up to its namesake) and make some money, then switch to a DPS class for access to the higher tier weapons.
And if you're still dying and dropping your weapons, just use the camera to go to where you died and keep an eye on your weapons. That way, you can see who might pick it up, or where it might get flung to. Keep in mind some maps have fucked up collisions, so weapons occasionally hide under map geometry, but you can still try to pick it up when you're back alive.
