Too late. :( there was no reason for my nice car to be destroyed and I couldn't remember which model it was when I drove a new one into my garage. Picked wrong. Sigh

Apologies to the goon in the lobby with me who I just blew to hell with an amazinly acurate buzzard shot (on the wrong target), "Charles McJeffrey" or something?

I fired only once as I winged around for another firing line and I thought it was half-assed BUT aimed at the other dude on my minimap. I was just killing a few seconds between calling Martin to help you get over 29th level. :(

Goddamn I'm starting to feel that BS is some B.S. :(


Also I went to put a bounty on a pubby and

Nobody really knows why it's a thing but Rockstar said they are adding co-op missions to the voting screen in a future patch.

Mega deal with it

Two guys went on a team-tank-rampage in freeroam tonight. It was pretty fun being hunted, got some really good practice in using cover and dodging tank shells. The most effective antitank method seems to be driving a bike up close and throwing stickybombs, if you can't snipe them out of the tank.

Also if a tank shoots at you while you're in passive mode you just get sent flying for no damage :v:

Make sure you're not blowing the truck up. Sticky bomb the back of the doors, detonate when there aren't any cars near the truck, slow down a little so you don't zoom past the cash bags that fall out, as they have physics and you can run them over and send 'em flying/perhaps destroy them.

After killing someone who's got a bounty, I go to the atm, deposit the money, and leave it at the ATM menu screen while I go take a piss or eat, as they wait forever for me to exit out so they can kill me. I can hear them firing shotguns and RPG's at me in the background.

You can buy a Faggio online for 5k. I've not seen a pedestrian use one before though.

Twice in the past 2 hours I've been booted from a mission for no reason, and then it wipes all the stuff I had done. I gained about 2 levels each time and about 20k and it keeps getting erased. Seriously just wasted my entire night for NOTHING wtf.

This isn't cool at all Looshkin! These are dark forces you're titting about with!

God loving dammit. Spent an hour doing a load of races and made about 30k. I was in the middle of banking it when I was kicked from the session for zero reason. Started online again and I got a bad sport warning and all the money I'd made had vanished. Ffffff.

Oh for gently caress's sake it didn't register the fact that I'd levelled up a few times either. Balls.

The first time I ever saw a Armored Car in MP, it was being driven by a pubby with a ton of police chasing him. I rolled up behind him on my motor cycle and threw a c4 at the door and blew it up. The money flew out the doors but the pubby had no idea and just kept driving. I got killed by police as he drove off, I then ran up and picked up the 10k and then left

Here's what I don't understand about destroying cars and bad sport hell...

If destroying a player's car is such a griefous (yes that's an intentional
misspelling) then why allow it at all.
I'm not saying *I* want it gone, I'm saying, if R* thinks it's such an evil that deserves banishment with cheaters and hackers, WHY is it a gameplay mechanic in freeroam at all?

Right??

It's not that hard to understand, destroying personal cars is okay just don't compulsively destroy every single one you find and if you do happen to blow up five or six cars in a short time, go do a few drat missions to get some good sport points to compensate.

I regularly destroy 3-5 cars in a session, then get the good sport 1000$ reward an hour or two later anyway after doing some missions.

I know the rules are a little annoying, but you can either play by them, or you could get constantly blown up every single time you exit your garage over and over by high level crews in tanks and buzzards who would never stop. Actually I can soon afford a tank, and I just unlocked the rocket launcher, so I would love the chance to blow up all your whiny asses without consequences until you ragequit!

I vastly prefer it as well. But people are focused on PVE missions for the most part so they use Auto-Aim for ease of play and making money. Then they say that Deathmatch sucks. It sucks because they're using lockon, and they're using lockon because they think Deathmatch sucks.


It's a vicious cycle.

edit: probably the best time I've had in this game so far was right when I started, playing LTS (the one life mode) before I realized all goons were on lockon and switched so I could play with them. It was three on three, but my two partners dropped out immediately. I then over the course of the next ten minutes slowly stalked and murdered the opposing team. It was fantastic.
