VIP is a very versatile gametype, as we all know. I've found that Halo actual has an auto-rotation of VIPs, making it even more helpful. For example, I have a game where one person, the VIP is playing the minigame, and everyone else must be held somewhere away from the playing area.

-Place the VIP team starting points where you want them, and set them all to Defender.

-Place each other teams starting points where you need them.

-Now, so every team has a chance to be VIP, set the # of rounds = # of teams. This will only work with single-VIP

-Start the game, and you'll notice that Halo 3 automatically rotates what team has a VIP, and that it will not repeat if you set the # of rounds correctly.

All there is to it. This technique got me through 2 minigames, and I'm sure it can help with many others.

now how exactly does this choose which team is the VIP? is it the whole defender spawn thing? does this make the defender automatic first VIP? and why not just one spawn point then? and finally, this only works with 1 person per team, correct?

I don't get what you mean. Do you get to choose where the VIP Spawns or just his team?

But yeah, this helps me a bit, and would have helped a while ago

His entire team. Can't choose where the VIP spawns (unless its a one player team)

They should have added a vip spawn or at least a vip starting spawn.

They didn't do that for the same reason they didn't do it for juggernaut... VIP is chosen in game, not before it... this is because VIP can change instantly during the game due to death. So yeah... I agree a VIP spawn would have been very useful...

Though you can still manage to isolate a VIP from their team in-game.
