MONDAYS AT 8PM BST - 3PM EDT - 12 NOON PDT

VANQUISH #2
A 2 or 3 Playlist Event showcasing the newest and most innovative Last Team Standings that the GCCC has to offer, with an optional Xtra playlist closing out the night.
The first playlist will feature crew submissions, whether yours or some you liked, while the second will be selected by the host(s). The Xtra playlist will be made up of selected content and submissions.
Each Playlist will consist of 4-5 jobs, and we'll aim for two Matches consisting of quick-fire rounds (Match length max 10-15 minutes), whilst the rest could have the possibility of becoming a little more drawn out (Match length max 20-25 minutes). Matches will be played first to 2 or 3, depending on recommendations, consensus and general exhaustion levels.
#VQ
HOW TO JOIN
Crew-only pre-lobby will open at 7:30PM with invites and reminders sent out periodically. A PS4 Portal Party will be hosted by me,

, add me on PSN.
Invites for the first playlist will go out at around 8PM BST, giving you five to ten minutes to join.

Rules and requirements
The usual rules for Crew lobbies will apply, so let's not be killing each other until the event gets underway (unless a Freemode Event demands it). Please ensure you are not wearing bulletproof or motorcycle helmets, as these both can confer an unfair advantage within jobs. Finally, please remove invisible or glitched clothing whilst participating.

Submissions should be made to the Vanquish topic in the PS4 Share tab, here on the event page or as a PM here or on

Social Club. Members can submit one of their own creations per week and any number of creations from other crew members.
The optimum size for submissions is for 30 people, but some smaller jobs may be considered for bonus rounds/ playlists, if circumstances and demands allow. I will endeavour to test all submissions before each event, so worth considering the minimum player requirement too, as jobs where minimum is too high (more than 4?), may be difficult to get enough players to join (the test).
Please include a brief description with any special settings you think should be applied and the number of players (min + max). Innovation, whether new ideas or new takes on old ideas, is strongly encouraged.

There's bound to be someone that I forgot, because I forgot to screenshot the first playlist, but I did my best to work out who we'd lost. Let me know if I forgot you.

Albalush-Ba7rain who got kicked just before the first job and then couldn't get back in.

Well, it's taken me all week to get around to writing all my reviews on the jobs in Vanquish #2, but eventually I got around to it...

Uppers Vs Downers by Some12Hate
Mostly explosive showdown at the Rockford Plaza, with snipers and advanced rifles thrown in. This seemed to work well. The team with the height advantage initially dominated, but eventually had to break cover to take on the smart members of the ground team who stayed in cover, making themselves vulnerable. Well balanced and fun.

Star Wars AT-AT Walker by AlanBold
Had to be included because it is an AT-AT walker from Star Wars, though is heavily stacked in favour of
the team with jets. Of course, sometimes the pilots will all kill themselves before they get around to killing everyone on the walker and those on the walker can jump down and get their own jets, so it can go either way, but perhaps it needs a bit more work to make the insurgents/tanks fixed in place on the walker (and perhaps a bit less vulnerable to explosives). Maybe a head could be added incorporating a tank and given the dlc weapons now in creator, homing launchers could be added.

Downtown Bridge by Frezyys
A layout perhaps more suited to deathmatch than LTS. Half my team died jumping down to the next and were lulled into staying in the laid out arena, when the LTS zone is circular by default and so the opposition could just pick us off from the flanks. Perhaps some props could be used to cordon off the areas we aren't meant to go and make more ways to get down without dying.

Z78 The Jetty by Zille78,
Another high ground Vs low ground LTS this time at the apartments overlooking Vespucci. The high ground have the advantage unless they let the ground team flank around, which is very tricky, with barriers in place to stop this. Couldn't find an advantage that the ground team had lost quickly. Mildly enjoyable, but a bit one sided.

Snipers Vs Wingsuits by RODO77
Weapons were scarce for snipers and jumpers, but hardly surprising given that RODO had to provide 15 parachutes too. Maybe this could be solved by putting some helis somewhere where they can't take off, but people can still get in and get a parachute, props used seems to be limited, so this could be done, I reckon. That way jumpers wouldn't have to wait for weapons respawns and could jump en masse. As it was, the jumpers trickled down a few at a time and were muche easier to pick off.

#RS Broyeur d@nu$ by roxasv6
A rare four team LTS - each team starts with beach buggies on platforms arrayed around a central battle zone made of barbed wire fencing with a hole in the middle. Beneath this is a large bowl and in the centre a gaping maw of death where those unfortunate enough to fall get macerated to death. It is entertaining enough, but perhaps a bit too long. Teams can't really succeed through skill, more through fluke and connivance. We played it first to three, but it was taking so long for any team to get the upper hand, that I got one player who had joined (with all their weapons) to bring about a hasty conclusion. All in all a very imaginative and original construction, but probably best not played to more than 2 rounds.

STUNTERS PARADISE by ManOfFire

My own creation, so some bias here - although I recognise it is in drastic need of updating, I still really like the idea. The stunts are awful and need to be remade and perhaps I should add some barriers so people can land on the platforms easier.

Demolition Derby Hangar by ingmarKrustyKrab

Fun LTS and one of the closest to a demo derby I have seen. However, before we even started there were complaints of "ugh, this one takes so long to finish!", that it occurs to me that if more wooden fences were laid out on the floor (like they are in the centre) then there would be more fires to catch the cars and their tyres on fire and write them off quicker.

HELICOPTER Vs RPG PS4 by JC2-FAN-FOREVER

I was expecting this to be heavily over-powered in favour of the RPGs, but was pleasantly surprised to find that after the first round, the helis won every round. A good fun LTS - recommended.

King Of The Hill by JamieJohnWard

When tested with 8 people, this seemed like a good enjoyable LTS, with some drivers managing to get onto the platforms and the game being fairly well balanced. However, when played through with 20+ it just didn't work as well. Perhaps the tyre walls that were along the edges of the platforms could be replaced with more runway signs, so cars had a better chance of getting on the platforms.

Duckhunt Bunkerbridge 2 by Model_One
A good duckhunt from Model_One who brought us some of the best of this type of LTS. Those runners who linger too long at the start can be expected to blow up when the gas tanks next to them get shot. Runners must zig zag up the bridge, whilst staying in cover, to the weapons which are arrayed around the enclosure where the snipers are trapped. It did seem quite easy for some of the runners to get to the end, but they were still susceptible to our shots when they had to climb to the rim of the box to finish us off. Win or lose, this is an enjoyable and laugh inducing LTS.

Sniper/ Stunters Dragons by ChrisMassilla

A variety of different stunts feature in this Stunters Vs theme that is just too busy for my tastes. With the original the stunters are just coming from two directions, but here they come from three sides and the sightlines are greatly reduced by all the proppage. Plus it seems a lot easier for the stunters to get on the platform - though this could be because I was playing with pro stunters.

Tanks Vs Hydras by GTA5THUG

Totally unbalanced LTS. Most of the tanks are stuck on floating barges on the river and Hydras have homing rockets that lock onto occupied tanks. The only way to survive for any length of time is to stay out of the tanks, but eventually the Hydra's explosive bullets will find and kill you.

Destruction Derby: RAW by Atheistsw
Given the name, most people stayed on the roof of the Maze arena as long as they could, before realising that our team members that got knocked off were being killed by the opposition armed with assault rifles on the ground. The next round I and a couple of team mates got straight on to the ground and collected all the weapons, so that we could pick the others off as they came down. Not really much of a DD, rather the DD is a distraction from the real job of killing.

Autoscooter by Der Herr Gott
Panto Demo Derby with a twist at the wind farm. As is usual, you leave the combat area when you fall off, but there is a ramp/turbine catapult thingy, that you can use to get back onto the platform or just pass through the combat zone and reset the kick counter. Fun, but tricky LTS and usually over in quick rounds.

Thanks again to all the Crew who helped with and promoted the event, especially Cheeseball, Jager and Doc.

o_ManOfFire_o Thank you for the feedback and for hosting this spectacular event! I believe weapon respawn time has been reduced from 30 to 10 seconds since the last update (last tuesday), so this will change a lot for LTS matches where weapons are scarce or only placed at starting points!
The use of a helicopter is a great idea! I would have to box it in though, to prevent people taking advantage and come flying down
