VANQUISH #54 September 4th

Fairly certain we had Kobi's job circa VQ45 (or maybe earlier)

Okay so if you can shoot, scoot to different vantage points to shoot at long range. Before people can react and return fire you need to be running to your next vantage point, or immediately appearing on foot from an ideal position you drove to like over a hill or something and looking down on 2 people etc. If not then use the explosives, get to cover nearby and lob from cover on my job. I took heavy inspiration from another creator who will be named should the job go okay. Try and stay out of auto aim range

Vanquish 41: gccc.boards.net/thread/2987/vanquish-41-feb-20 I noticed Trigg-rHappy updated another old gen job this week but forgot to submit it. Could be a good last minute replacement. Probably won't make the 1st list but should be on for the second. Cya later.

actually he updated 4 and is being swamped with messages from angry ps3 folk... so you have a few more for future vq

A holes vs D heads by Tesseractor
A series of mixed weaponry at both the lost camp and nearby Meth Lab provide the basic backdrop here. The addition of cops provides a decent wildcard to proceedings but, because both bases provide plenty of cover and weapons there's little incentive to move around the map. Some more heavy weaponry, and cover, in no man's land and boats to make the map more dynamic (and sinking the weird floating cabins using the advanced placement options) would be a nice addition IMO. What does work though is the smallish play area that doesn't cover the road between the areas making sneaking around easier.

It's great to see such a good quality water based job. A rare delight and although it's a simple setup it works perfectly well. Sticky Bombs and Seasharks work very well, although to have a better replay value this probably needs more of a hook, some simple jumps or maybe compact grenade launcher in the middle (?)

Duckhunt - BunkerBridge 5 by model
Nicely made but 2nd round onwards was sabotaged by with pistols and then owned weapons. Shame that a badly made game ruined a well made job. Balance between the 2 teams seemed about right, although maybe some normal snipers with only one or two heavy snipers would slant it back towards the runners who did seem marginally the weaker side.

Smokey Shootout by juicy
A unusual cover light setup with bikes at either end separated with the open stunt roads and grenade launcher(?) in the centre to focus the action. Although this job undoubtedly suffers in AA as it makes no sense to aggressively drive around on the bikes it played OK with combat taking place at the edge of the AA window and some tactical drive-bys. Would undoubtedly excel in free aim.

Will You Live Or Die 2 by JC2-FAN-FOREVER
The lags not quite as staggeringly painful as the 1st draft so that's a definite improvement. The bottom hole still kills more than it should though IMO with suicides galore around the rim. Some health packs scattered around the outside could counter that issue perhaps.

- RPG vs RPG - ª by Trigg-RHappy
Matching the theme of the night a simple enough idea but leading to a very playable job. The build quality is also pretty good with the usual flashing platforms and huge lettering. As both platforms are exactly the same level only direct RPG hits count so it's a good skill battle.

HyperTugz VS Grenades by loftonian
The usual modded job crazy delight with a ton of speed boosts making a genuinely fun airtug vs grenades job (there's something I never thought I'd say). Inventive, weird and pretty well balanced. Like. A lot.

Under World Valkyries by NerfThis_97
A four way Valkyrie battle under the map. As the maps symmetric obviously balance isn't an issue and neither is gameplay thanks to the vehicle choice. However action starts a little bit early for my liking given how clumsy it can be entering the Valkyries in the front gunner position, only to realise it doesn't have front guns. I'd suggest scaling up so the initial fight takes place latter and isn't quite so jarring. Otherwise this was enjoyable enough.

Strip club massacre!!! by cookinwithcoop
Grenade launcher battle in the strip club. As it's easy to pick people off coming through doors this does turn into a battle of patience with a disappointing lack of sexy dancers. The imbalance of each end is an issue with one end having easy roof access making it easier to shoot the other team at their start point.
