Game Mode: Escort the VIP

[Deadpool]

Remember a long long time ago, in a CS-version far away, we had a VIP gameplay mode where one player would be a VIP that had to be escorted to a helicopter? I think it was awesome, Valve should totally implement it again.

[cavcav]

Yes, valve, please valve.

[Cpt Crunch]

Agreed.

[Robin]

Above is a ♥♥♥♥, but yes do this valve.

I feel the new hostage rescue mode (2 hostages, being carried solo) is better than the old one (4 hostages running on their own, all to be rescued), and it is also more similar to the mentioned VIP mode, rendering it like superflous.

There were complaints about the handicap "BOT hostages", which is solved by now.

two total different game mods. sure the new hostage mod on cs_ maps is much better, but beeing a VIP with more health and just pistol with some mates who have the fight the way to a helicopter at the Terror Spawn sounds pretty funny too ^^

[Kutya7701]

Yes please would like this mode.

[Thoren]

could be nice sometimes. Please do it valve!

[Dr. Tatwaffel]

oil-rip nice map
but nothing for mm
but as a single game mode like deathmatch pretty nice

It would sound funny, OK. But how would it even be close to competitive, compared to the new and quite balanced hostage rescue mode? VIP mode is not necessary, is it?

[creeky.wiggly.bones]

sounds like a great idea. and as for making it part of comp / mm i dont see why this could be a problem since you dont HAVE to que for such maps or scenarios , but yes i could see were it could go very arye is that chance a team has to win trying to defend a VIP that is playing poorly and or a team not defending properly ..( escorting them to the safe zone ) , and for those of you that are unaware of the old VIP scenario it was a map type where for example 2 teams of . lets just say 5 a piece , the T's and CT's but 1 of the CTs is a VIP and looks different ( more like a citizen or a person of importance ( lol watever that might look like ) .. anyways the VIP has increases armor of 200 and can only wield a pistol , and the other team has to defend the Extraction point where the cts are trying to escort the vip to , if they succeed and the vip gets to the point just like a hostage would to ct spawn the round is won and rinse and repeate , switching at half time of 15 rounds for now the other team to escort the VIP and others to defend/prevent Extraction... it was a cool mode and the map it was played on i remember was a awsome one.. i think it was like a oil rig err somthing on the ocean where the cts had to get the VIP to a heli pad ... i remember players always screaming and typing "GET TO THA CHOPPA!!!" :) was a great mode and would love to see it resurected +1

[Deadpool]

It was definitely Oil Rig that we all remember because it was an awesome map.

[Catfish]

I definitely miss the assassination game mode... as_oilrig, as_highrise, and as_tundra were some great maps to play. Tons of fun to play as a VIP and it's a very different style of game as a supporting player. I can't request this game mode enough! Bring it back, Valve!

[G0rd0n S3m3n]

Totally agree but not many people played those maps. Popularity would be an issue... Plus their opperation bravo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is far more important.

[G0rd0n S3m3n]

In fact it could be more exciting and popular than _de maps. If only they would put some thought into these things instead of bowing down to the ultra competative professional community like thier little towl boys.

[Catfish]

Not really... I've seen enough maps that have been around for a long time that may get less play than these maps would (de_vertigo, cs_italy) including Payback (cs_downtown) or Bravo (de_ali) maps. Bring them out, it's a new game mode, I'd rather see it and let the community decide (or at least get it into a beta version). Operation Charlie, anyone?
