Great suggestion!
But I would expand it even more. If a player is VIP, let's keep his spree even if he disconnects or dies himself (without being killed by anyone particular). It would be just Heaven for everyone.
Of course, it was sarcasm.
-1 from me. Everything starts from blank page when a new map is loaded. I see not a single reason to make sprees transient.
P.S.
Altus and Mia is about to make a suggestion of removing the sprees and here is the extension suggestion is given for sprees lol (j/k) , coz game mode is necessary to be played as compare to make pplz bussy in making there sprees, -1 for that
They say that every joke has only a grain of a joke. I wouldn't mind if sprees disappear completely, they are not necessary at all for the gamemode, and some people care too much about them. But I don't think I am going to suggest it.
