Abscond as a VIP map.

Interesting. This map has some possibilities as a VIP map, although it is sort of a straight line map. It would be interesting to try it, esp. given the lack of VIP maps (proportionally). The nav shows hostage rescue points, so it has a problem there but otherwise seems ok.

Nice looking map we could use a new Vip map.

I'm looking at a lot of vip maps right now. I'll post each one as I look at it (if they look decent)
1) make sure we don't already have it on server
2) make sure we haven't all ready discussed it and said no
3) make sure the map is decent
4) look for any interesting points
5) look for any major problems

I'll be looking at:
as_abscond_07v2
as_de_nasafinal
as_de_r0ok
as_dolls_bb_final2
as_dust_2
as_hot_cn
as_mansion_v2
as_vespa

haven't seen any other comments about this map.

I looked at it again.

The name is a vip/assassination map.
But it shows two hostages at the bottom of the map (as if there are two to rescue) but none seem to be on the map.
The minimap shows hostage rescue zones. That could be the vip extration, but I"m not sure.

I like this map. It has some neat details. Abscond without the snow. I'm just not sure it is big enough. Perhaps it is a bit too limited. If the ts moved up to guard one of the open spaces between buildings, I think that would turn into a snipe/shoot match.

Anyone else have some thoughts about this map? Only plude made a comment and this is a semi-recent map

I cant really test as a vip map I dont have the plugin but the layout of the map looks good.

The VIP mod requires that hostages be present in a map so that if the VIP doesn't escape in the alloted time the T's will end up winning the match. If you're zooming around in ghost cam on Oilrig you can find them underneath the helicopter landing pad.

I'm not real keen on this one as a VIP map. As a hostage rescue it's really mediocre at best.
