Features
Grandest VC:MP Event Vice War is a one-day VC:MP event where the entire community is split into two teams to battle it out for 24 hours. This will be the 10th edition of Vice War, scheduled to be organized this summer. We are proud that the previous edition had 308 participants and saw more than 90 players connect to the server as the event commenced. | ||
Starfish Island - Sunray Cartel vs Vercetti Mob The Vice War will be contested in Starfish Island and the surrounding water bodies. Expect a lot of action in the tightly packed island. The battles will have a lot of variety including the long-range bridge control skirmishes and close quarter battles inside the Starfish Mansion. We will get to experience a mixture of land and Sea combat as the game mode offers a lot of Speedboats and Skimmer action. | ||
Vice War X is themed around '80s Miami Vice, original to GTA Vice City roots, and features a traditional, simplistic TDM game mode that everyone likes. There is no limit on the number of members for either team, so teams are required to gather support by inviting as many players as possible to join their team. VC:MP’s player base has declined significantly in recent times, but we hope the nostalgia and the community’s bond are strong enough to gather a record number of players one more time. | ||
New Round System Vice War has tended to be one-sided in previous editions. A strong team gains a lot of points quickly making a comeback impossible. This time, the 24 hour event is being split into 7 rounds of 3 hours each. There will be a 30 minutes break in between the rounds. This system allows a losing team to re-strategize and attempt a comeback in a fresh round with equal scores. We hope this will extend the duration of competitiveness. The game mode will also have some provisions to grant bonus side missions to the losing team for reducing the points gap. |
