CS:S VIP mod released
Yesterday saw the release of the long awaited VIP mod for CS:S.
What Is VIP Mod?
Old school Counter-Strike players will remember a gameplay mode called "assasination mode" that randomly changed a member of the CT team into a VIP. The VIP player was only allowed the pistol he spawned with as his weapon. But, he also spawned with 200 armor. The misson in this game play style was simple: "Protect The VIP Team!". The CT's were to escort the VIP to a rescue zone to win the round. The terrorists objective was to kill the VIP. If they did, the round ended no matter how many other CT's were alive.
This game play mode, maybe more so than any other, demanded team play and co-operation. It was exciting to play and was a dream for those of you in to tactics and stategies. Unfortunately this game play mode died when Counter-Strike: Source was released. Valve Software didn't include it in the "Direct Port" of Counter-Strike to Counter-Strike: Source.
Because of differences between 1.6 and source, the VIP spawns with 150 armor and 125 health. VIP has more potential to turn into deathmatch than bomb or hostage maps. As a result, VIP is only available on PCS server 2. The server is restricted to players who have earned PCS Proven status. The requirements for this are simple : consistantly demonstrate that you put team, objective and communication before all other considerations. Further information on PCS Proven can be found here.

Now you just need custom skins for VIP's so the lowly terrorists can live out their dreams of assassinating upper echelon infidels

I'm confused. Is the image on the front page not sufficiently custom?
