ok so youve probably seen when we get into escort and people say "dont kill the vip" yes?

This is because killing him early makes half your team get very little points for the match and thus very little c-bills, now i believe i have an idea on how to "fix" this partially or maybe even wholely:

Once the VIP dies the attackers will be considered the winners, however a 1 or 2 minute "carnage" timer starts, effectively a chance for the defenders to get some revenge and the attackers to... well cause some carnage.

This would mean that killing the VIP early would not be "bad play" for half the team as they could simply go on a hyper offensive in that last minute or 2 in the knowlege that they already won.

What do you guys think? a plausible solution?

I think that it would be better to remove it from the game and fire the person who created it....fire them from earth in a catapult.

There's not that much of an incentive by the "side that loses the VIP" to continue on. I mean, yes they might get some more money in the end, but in some ways it's just adding insult to injury due in part that in most cases... they are in the process of being wiped. You're mostly feeding the winners.

The thing is that the idea is based on the assertion that people would go strictly for the VIP.

What actually happens is that the fight happens, and clearing out the opfor that is escorting the VIP is usually the most effective solution.

The primary reason people say not to shoot the VIP is because a good way to lose is to focus on the VIP while the defenders roflstomp you.

If the defenders are timid bads then you can still win by taking out the VIP directly but then as you said the rewards are garbage.

Sorry OP, but no. I think we could all agree the VIP needs to be able to shoot back and give us a heads up as to witch path hes taking.

VIP kill should give every attacker 50,000 C-Bills, at least.
