Kinda hard to say if it's "better" than another mod, since tastes vary.

Comparing Gloom to NS (since I haven't played Tremulous alot), Gloom is simply alot faster and more furious.

Your average Gloom game last about 10-20 minutes and due to the much smaller maps, the time it takes before you're back in the thick of the action after you respawn is rarely more than 10-15 seconds, even when your team is on the offensive.

Bases tends to be run over and rebuilt alot quicker as well, making for quicker turns in the balance of the single game. Of course, since bases have nothing to do with the availability of resources (you gain access to better classes solely from killing enemies), losing a single base position doesn't have nearly the same impact in Gloom as it has in NS, as long as the builders are on the ball to rebuild someplace else.

Simply put, the focus in Gloom is less on the resource management, strategy and RTS part of the game and more on the purely tactical and FPS part. If faster and more action is your cup of tea, then yeah, Gloom is better. On the other hand, if you prefer a bit slower, strategic gameplay, then NS is the way to go.
