    This.

    I wish we just had a VIP. It would be so much more fun defending a fat dude with an umbrella, then yelling, "GET ON THE FUCKING CART!" 3000000x.

    escorting something that can die sounds like it would be so impossible in TF2

    except with VIP the assassin team is (was) limited to Spy and Sniper

    also, get in the drama chamber

    The lighthouse king of the hill map is a control point map with a single CP, and a timer for each team that decreases while they control it. It caps in like 2 seconds, and the timers don't reset if you lose the point.

    Ah, that sounds different than Arena with respawn. Is this what King of the Hill is usually like?

    I can think of a fairly easy way to experience it for yourself. :winky:
    Granted, it's a bit early in the day for it...
    but later today...
    honk honk? :D

    There is already a king of the hill lighthouse custom map?

    There are at least 3 king of the hill maps that I've seen on the HoNC:
    • Lighthouse, rather compact (there's also an arena version) but still fun. I also really like the atmosphere of the map, very well done.
    • Garbage Day, larger than lighthouse and featuring an actual hill of which to be king. Good map, although in the version I played it was stupidly easy to completely and utterly block the elevator, the only route to the CP other than climbing/rocket jumping.
    • Ziggurat. This map is bad, don't vote for it ever.

    Attentive checking will fix the spy problem, and the sniper problem can be dealt with by staying behind corners.

    It's more fun than you'd think.

    There's actually a fourth, the KOTH version of Waste. There was a "final" version that came out a bit ago, uploading it now.

    The VIP team gets heavies, soldiers and medics so the assassins can't really brute force things.

    Also the VIP is a melee only engineer and the wrench has a 316.04% crit chance against spies.

    And then they backstab half my team and both medics who were just charging their ubers and everyone screams SPYCHECK PYROS GOSH and there I am coming around the corner...

    I am always super surprised when spies backstab multiple people in a row.

    I'm lucky if I get one backstab in before everybody in the group turns around and kills me. Even if everybody is turned away from me, as soon as I get close, everybody turns.

    at least the cart sticks to the fucking plan.

    Somebody needs to make a payload map where there is a very easy path from start to exit, but the payload is a VIP that just wanders all over the place like a fucking moron before finally reaching the exit, falling over, and exploding.

    Yes, because using a VIP class all of a sudden rids you of any movement and all thought process..

    Sticking to the plan? You mean like winning the game? o_O

    At least with the VIP you can flank people and actually have a sense of teamwork. With the cart it's like, yayyyy let's setup sentries all day before the cart gets here AND add some demospam WOO! :winky:

    Man, you guys are prob the same people who haven't eve played hunted for TFC, let alone TFC. Trying to explain is pointless.

    Yea what the greatest part was, you could give the VIP a boost into the vents, then while he's in vents, just keep shooting rockets while he jumps and he'd skip the whole level pretty much.

    "Man, you guys must have never played hunted," is the worst argument ever by the way.

    And anyway, everything that I have heard about the original Team Fortress makes me want nothing at all to do with it.

    Edit: I assume "sticking to the plan" means you at least know that the bomb will move along the track if someone touches it.

    While a VIP may die instantly or wander around aimlessly or run into a corner or be afk in spawn or whatever.

    Not necessarily insurmountable issues, but issues nonetheless.

    It is an argument, since the opposing argument is really "this will never work" when the original hunted shows it did.
    Hunted is way way more fast paced than payload is. Payload is basically a more linear version of A/D, and really doesn't have much in common with hunted.

    Also I don't think medics would have ubers in that mode, Unless they let the hunters have scouts.
