    Map Title:VDP[very dangerous person]
    This is a 2 team VIP game. Its a VIP gametype where the VIP is very powerful but has to be released by his teammates to start killing people.

    Sorry but im still banned from posting on the bungie forums so I have to give you this link to my fileshare instead of a forum link. It was supposed to be a one month ban but its been like 3. Game and map are the last two things in the fileshare.[/url]

    Description:
    Both teams start in these cages like in the first pic, but the vip'gravity is too high for him to jump out. The rest of the team can jump out and have to fight their way to the switch in the other teams base to release the doors so the vip can get out. The teleporter in the cage where everyone starts leads to the other teams locked room in their base.
    Scoring in this game works like this, Vip's get 2 points for every person they kill. Normal people get 5 points for killing the Vip's. These are the only ways to score. So the best thing to do is get your vip out and protect him while he gets kills.
    The vip's are hard to kill , as they have extra overshields, but this game uses vip proximity traits which means that if you are within 40 meters of your vip you get camo and 150% damage. There is loads of powerful weapons but it will probably take a few people to take out a vip.
    The score is up to 50 so those 5 points for killing a vip can be very usefull.

    Here's a few extra points because of the comment's posted.
    1. This is meant to have at least 5 people on each team.
    2. I forgot to mention that the VIP's have needlers and rockets and cannot pickup weapons. But you can change that easily if you want.
    3. I know it wasnt very hard to make, but i dont see any point in putting in loads of stuff for no reason. It's more just an edit of standoff. Im not sure if extra bridges and boxes and other stuff would make the gameplay any better. I played it once and its pretty good stuff once you have at least 10 players.
    4. The vip has 4 overshields.
    5. Lol at people complaining the map could have been better, I didnt make standoff bungie did, I just edited weapons and a few shield doors.
    6. I will post some gameplay photos later...... I only played it once and that movie got deleted off my harddrive after a few other games.




    This is the cage where one team starts.

    This is what one of the bases looks like with all the weapons and stuff on it.

    This is where the vips are trapped until they get released.

    This map looks like it has some good potential. Gameplay-wise. I like how you trap them in the bottom of the base. You could use this for a gametype similar to CTF. Where your team tries to recover your VIP and return them to base for a point. So the enemy basically tries to protect the VIP "switch". Wouldn't that be great?

    Map-wise, I don't think it is as great. It seems like you threw a bunch of boxes around and a teleporter. I hate shield doors as well. 2v2? I think it could rezise to a 4v4 because of the fact it is Standoff. Other than that, kudos to creativity.

    For such a simple game, I would have interlocked. But that doesn't matter.

    How much Overshields did you give the VIP? Make sure it is higher than x2 Overshields, because of the amount of the power weapons on the map.

    I don't see this as a Competitive Map. It has too many Power Weapons on the map in my view.

    Also, please remove the Shield doors, especially with an Energy Sword on the map. VIP's could camp behind those with Swords and Hammers, then when someone attempts to go through, the VIP can lung through the shield door and kill the person on the other side, if they get too close.

    With all of the items on the map itself, this game could easily be a game of 4v4, 5v5, or even 6v6. I would think it would be more exciting with more than two people on each team.

    I give the game and map combined a 3/5. You could have spent some more time on the map, but the gameplay is great.

    However, once your ban is lifted, make sure to post this map. You must have a link to the post on Bungie, not you file share. However, I could see this problem as an exception.
