Tonksi Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLJKvXtpUTo&fmt=18 honestly its good fun and all.... the first 20 min game i went in i got 131 kills to 0 deaths. but its a little laggy.... it doesnt feel as satisfying other than shooting cars... which blow up in one hit, so you can take out an entire street. its very very fun but i feel bad for the ground guys... as you can see it causes earthquakes and is almost un-escapable.... what do the other guys think about this? i want some pilots views and some ground guys views.... i can understand why they did it... because of people complaining the helicopters arent good for casual players.... but there is no way i can play teamdeathmatches anymore without the other team leaving... ive had to go to deathmatch where im ranked number one for trueskill with around 600 kills 0 deaths and only a few games played mwhahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC. Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Haha I love the topic title. I have a question. Does the Annihilator shoot rockets in the 360 version of GTA: IV as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherD Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Haha I love the topic title. I have a question. Does the Annihilator shoot rockets in the 360 version of GTA: IV as well? I think that the vid is from Xbox (I think). Tonksi plays on Xbox. I have a better question: Once you download the expansion, can you go BACK to the normal version or are there now two seperate versions of Multiplayer? And exploding rounds from the minis is just...well...dumb as hell! Makes it impossible to get away from even the newest n00bs who has gotten a Heli! EDIT: @post below...So this is for PC only...Phew! EDIT again: This IS on Xbox!!! How friggin dumb! Edited February 17, 2009 by ChristopherD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Colt Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well I imagine it does balance things out for "Chopper Vs Chopper" seeing as using only bullets against a motorbike racing through the streets would be quite difficult indeed.

Not for the Elite Pilots like Tonksi... they made it so rotars damage people onn bikes rather than making them fly... so its always a noob in 3rd person dragging his rotars down the street spraying like crazy... its the worst gametype on there... the others are fun though, and i do like flying this new chopper you can choose to play either gta4 online or lost and the damned online... so we get both... but for griefing its rediculous.... even if you are bad the earthquakes are annopying as hell Edited February 17, 2009 by Tonksi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mylungsareburnin01 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 for the so so pilots like me, I am lovin it. I had 38 kills and 2 deaths ( both my fault ) in a 15 minute game. Great job Rockstar for leveling the playing field. If I come across an elite pilot I now have a legitimate chance to get in a chopper and blow them up...WOO HOO!!!

They're gonna remind me of tanks from CoD WaW now greatt. However, people Ive seen grabbing helis to torture us are not good at not crashing them so I can only hope they're bad flyers and dont know how to fly low good.

Tonksi Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 i can see it now....... noobs getting too close to the ground to shoot and blowing themselves up LOL ive had a few close calls when ive flown close to rooftops and rinsed my clip dogfights are easy still against most players... if you fly sideways fast enough only showing the front of your heli it act the same as an rpg (it blows up but does almost no damage)... this allows you to take out weaker pilots VERY easily. but pilots who would have struggled to get me smoking in the original now pose a threat.... like this one guy i just played started saying how he was the best in the original.... we were just like.... ok lets see it took him 30 seconds of circling to get a hit and in the heli he fought me around 3 times in a row without getting smoking before he quit to go back to his "lost and the damned" where he can get some kills... i was honestly hoping for them to make it harder for pilots, so it could be more of a challenge.... me and about 20 other pilots have been going into team deathmatch and deathmatch lobbys all day and terrorising people with averages of 60+ kills a game, most games you go in you hear people complaining about pilots, and if you talk to any of the pilots they all complain too... in all i think it was a huge mistake and the only things that will be enjoyable beyond griefing is the races / bike mini games (not chopper vs chopper which is trash) so here is my plan. any one that can fly a chopper half descent, get into teamdeathmatches and deathmatches and own the crap out of everyone in that heli, we want as many complaints made as possible, grief ALL. hopefully if we make enough people pissed off and even quitting the online aspect, then we can scare R* into never f*cking up this bad again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELETEDUSER Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 This is like it shooting depleted uranium or something. I mean WTF! How realistical is for a heli to not only destroy a bus, but also move it like 100 km/h only with bullets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job Rockstar for leveling the playing field. If I come across an elite pilot I now have a legitimate chance to get in a chopper and blow them up...WOO HOO!!! Actually, it would just help the pro pilots kill you faster they didnt put annihilator spawns in free mode, so if you want to use it you have to go to a deathmatch or a team deathmatch, and if you do that all you get is people whining, and although thats good, i prefer them to wonder how im so accurate with the guns... fact is the wiith these new guns, they have a time delay..... so heres what happens: you shoot no bullet trace appears bullet in range hits a hard surface bullet deals damage to surface like before time delay.... grenade explosion from where bullet hit the thing is.... ive been in some games with such bad lag the explosions were a whole 2 seconds after impact..... which is just strange and means spraying is the best bet.... ive even been in games where the bullets hit with no explosion, then after 20 seconds they all explode at the same time blowing up an entire street. fact is that although the good pilots will have the edge in terms of fast mobility and quick locks on targets, i could probably go 40 to 0 in third person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxSIDESH0Wxxx Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 i haven't tried the new deathmatches, yet. but the helicopter missing from free mode just sucks if only because you can't travel around the map as fast. you have to drive everywhere. so far i like the original free mode better. tonksi, next time i see you on TLAD, i wanna check out a deathmatch with ya. wait, make it team deathmatch...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherD Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 While the idea of exploding minigun rounds sounds rediculous to me (I AM a Pilot hater after all), I think it is a good sign to see R* experimenting AT ALL with Multiplayer. This means that at least they are looking at it and are willing to change things...now whether they change things for the better or worse remains to be seen...but at least they are playing with it... Can't wait til GTA V! Maybe they will have it down by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
