Dont know if someone has made a post in here about it but VIP... well yeah V I P !!!!
Vip is a good gametype but its just spam central. Its good in moderation. Was thinking if others thought that maybe an elim VIP gametype would be nice to replace some of the VIP rounds (because elim is far better than any other gametype accept for mario, that was just insanly fun)
It would prevent rambos just spam-die-spam-die-spam-die and it gets boring, well for me i dont speak for everybody. If the VIP still had some superior strength then it would be more of a strat game. You couldnt just go in kniving whatever u see because u will likely die. And going for the VIP would be hard to do even on his own with the upper hand in the health department :D
Anyway just a suggestion

Hey,
I haven't been playing Obscurity for long, But i do agree with Kevie.
I think that would bring a lot more fun and thinking/strategy to the VIP gametype as I also find it boring with the Spam.Die.Spam.Die.Spam.Die.Spam.Die.
Just my 2cents
Cheers

people spam as they have no tatics and rely on the fact that the obs is gonna walk infront of them (through the open doorway) and then simply knife them instead of actually thinking.
the removal of the damage indicator has lowered the amount of spam but i think if anyones getting bored of the game type the change how you play. this could be going from a camper to a constant runner or from using a shotty to using an assult rifle. Dont rely on other to change something if your getting bored.

People spam because they dont care if they die, no matter if u have assalut, sniper shotty or slingshot people will spam and tk if they can just respawn. Look how succesfull Elimination is, its the best behaved game mod out of all of them. Like i said i like vip in moderation and i know alot of other people do as well. VIP elim is the best of both worlds. And as for changing my ways.... well its scope scope scope *shoot des* scope, Plus it can be used as an auto anyways rofl

Perhaps a limited amount of respawns per person, or a way to earn a respawn, will have to think about it later.

VIP health isn't that much. Just aim for leg then head and it's a quick kill

Is there a way you can make an Obs vs Obs (TDM) Elimination?
That would be interesting.

That would be interesting to see, altho it would be very difficult. How could you tell if the sounds were ur teammates and how can u use a gun to teleport a enemy you can barely see!!!
Fun but inpractical i feel!

Sif describe. I took the time to have a good crack at an AFK VIP that just spawned near me. I knifed him in the back and he went straight down, which I expected thanks to someone on here, but then I think it took 4 knives to the head before he died. Meanwhile the bastard couldve been sitting there barbequing my ass like a Greek family BBQ's a whole lamb on the spit.

I suggest cripple, gut, or neck. Don't sit there either, knife, move, knife, move, knife.
Alternative, cripple + gut or neck, then keep the marines away so he cant revive, he will drop eventaully, and his aiming will slow down greatly if you wait 5-10 seconds or so once he has been gutted and then hack him.
Next update we are aiming to release a change that should address most of these problems you people are talking about with VIP.
AzzDawg: Your sig will be getting a shrinkage when I have access to the shrinkage controls. 350 pixels wide max thanks people

OK thanks Snake, sorry didn't realize. I will take it off and resize.
No other input of my Obs vs Obs (TDM) Elim idea?

ob v ob could work. If there was a single shot weapon and others were quite visible. About 50%? That would work, make things very interesting... But the whole posession weapon would have to go, and how about on a 5 kill streak you get full vision so you can properly see the others? then 7 kill streak you get super speed and more health? Then 10 Killstreak you get to use an inter-stellar bomb? That completely obliterates the opoosistion? Just a few of my ideas xD. Completely off-topic but owell.

I could elaborate why, but too much effort at the moment. Let's just say, why rebuild the mod for a single game-mode, as that seems to me what he was suggesting we do.
