Suicide Run is a more challenging take on the one sided vip game variant, intended for 4 vs 4 play
both teams start in bases at opposite ends of the map (valhallah works well)
one team (gold) has to defend a goal point from the vip of the other team. they are equipped with energy swords, do double damage and run 50% faster than normal, but they cannot pick up or use any other weapons. they gain 1 point for killing an enemy (black) or 2 points for killing the vip (white)
the other team can do no damage, but are armed with explosive weapons and regenerating grenades for distraction purposes. the vip, however, can do minimal amounts of damage, but is armed only with a pair of magnums with limited ammo. he/she does, however, have far better shields than anyone else, and an overshield.
the overall aim is to get the vip into the goal point in the enemy base in order to score the 5 points needed to win the round. alternately, they can attempt to kill the enemy for 1 point each or 2 points if the vip kills one (normal kills are made possible by a custom powerup which increases damage to 150% and allows the use of an weapon but reduces speed slightly).
should the vip be killed, he awards 2 points to the defending team. this means that in order to gain the remaining 3 points and win the round, the defending team have to hunt down the remaining players. the round time has been limited to around 4 minutes so that should the vip be killed, there is a chance of preventing the enemy from scoring by running and hiding.
I have tried to make the game fairly balanced. my best hope is that the teams switch sides after each round, though im not sure if it does that anywhere or i have to set it somewhere.
currently there are no forge maps for this yet (they're in the pipeline), as its very new and untested (add me if you want to test it ;D) but if anyone wants to play it on the fly, id reccomend valhallah with a custom powerup in the middle and perhaps a smaller goal point.
feedback would be nice, so feel free to tell me what you think, and if anything needs to be changed i will see about updating it. enjoy, and play nice!
