"Evacuating" in Virus

Basically birb but in Virus. When there is 1 minute on the clock, an escape is available that allows 1 survivor to save themselves from the infected. Depending on the map, it is a different escape method (Solar has you escape on an escape pod, Subway has you escape on a subway train, Desertion has you climb into a helicopter and fly away, You drive an ambulance away from the infected in Hospital, in Overtime you take an elevator to the roof that breaks down after use, effectively stopping the infected from getting to you.). When the escape becomes available, you get to the area where it is and hold E on the aforementioned object and have to wait for 3 seconds until you can escape (time is halved if under the effects of adrenaline), once the timer is done, a small, first person animation plays (escape pod starting to fly away, climbing into helicopter, elevator door closing, putting key into ignition, subway vehicle starting to move, etc.) and the screen fades to black. After you have escaped, you can spectate all of the other players. Escaping will give you a unit bonus of 150 units for your efforts.

I don’t know about this, it sounds pretty interesting though. Maybe make it so you forfeit the unit bonus for being 1st,2nd,3rd, and 4th? Also, if you escape, you can’t do it next round so someone else has a chance to escape?

Good idea, evacuating is really just forfeiting the match for people who cant take on the barrage of infected barreling down towards them, perhaps it could only be used when there is only one survivor?

Nah. Either you can survive the onslaught or you get infected. There shouldn’t be a middle way IMO.

I tend to agree but I do like the concept though. Maybe it could be a titanfall-style bonus event for the last survivor. If the last survivor manages to live until time runs out, then he could get a chance to escape for some bonus units. If he escapes, he gets the extra units but if the infected prevent his escape then he would just get the normal reward for being the last survivor. And maybe the infected who stops him could also get a small bonus.

The last survivor already has a big chance to win if it’s >20 seconds remaining + still has adrenaline remaining.

this would be pretty fun though because it can also give incentive for infected to strike there also

could work id think

Hmm like titanfall, great idea id love to see the ambulance one

Oh and how about a scene where you call in an airstrike or alltillery to your location and run to and bunker and let the infected burn, that would be badass
