HELICOPTER UPDATE OVERPOWERED!

Recommended Posts

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!

Yeah, dumb. I was asking if it shoots rockets in GTA: IV, not The Lost And Damned.

Isn't "Lost and Damned" technically still GTA IV?

 

EDIT: @post below: Well, there is at least that...

pfft... dozingoff.gif

no, they both have seperate online gametypes and leaderboards, seperate vehicles, seperate guns and seperate helicopters....

 

so us 360 players do still have a choice, nothing is forced upon us

I really loved the challange of being a good pilot in the regular gta 4, it gave me something to work for. now its just stupid, I cant really understand why they would give the chopper so much power, without giving an equally powerfull weapon to fight back with.

It was always fun to go into a freemode and kill people with the guns, and watch them bow down to you.

I must agree. Listening to 13 yr old british kid bow down to you due to video game domination is the ultimate satisfaction. Much more satisfying than watching your child being born or seeing a beautiful sunset. sarcasm.gif

If R* are going for realism then they are succeeding! Helicopters IRL(Heard of it?) Have something called incendary (Spelling pls?) Which fires explosive bullets/whatever, perhaps not to the extent of blowing up cars in seconds though...

Listen 2 this guy, he definitely knows what he is talking about.

 

If Rockstar only could test their updates before actually releasing them. dozingoff.gif

I think this is all down to R* trying to make GTA4 full of action. What with the new weapons and exploding Annihilator rounds and new elements of gameplay.

yer a multiplayer beta weekend might have been a good idea,

 

prior to LAD some of my pilot friends were talking and we heard rumours about explosives on a heli for chopper vs chopper... we were hoping they brought in the hunter or something with missiles, specific for chopper vs chopper. or if they altered anything... put in a heli with guns and a missile launcher that has a huge delay, so say every 20-30 seconds you can unleash a missile to quickly take out a vehicle.

 

even having auto aim rpgs along with a choice for an annihilator with auto aiming turrets.. (mini guns which will follow your target as long as the heli is facing somewhat in the right direction... ) - this would be like having an auto aim setting for weak ground shooters... but for people going in the heli...

You Xbox user do nothing but bitch.

Your worse than the PS3 users, and they dont the DLC confused.gif

 

I think its great that the helicopter has more firepower, it was pissweak with those standard guns.

I never feared people in helicopters, but now you should.

Well, even though those are some nice dogfight vids in your sig Tonski, I still think:

 

Good shooter on foot > Good with any vehicle in the game

 

Unless the guy on foot is running on an open field like the airport of course. As soon as you get some cover, there is not much a heli can do without the DLC-upgrade.

 

With damage like I saw in the vid, the DLC ones shouldn't be allowed in competitive modes though... DAYUM!! suicidal.gif

There's a whole Pilots VS Footsoldiers thread somewhere, like a competition organised by people here. If memory serves me correctly, the Pilots wiped the floor with the guys on the ground.

 

There are no absolutes. Every time I think I have found a clever tactic/safe place to avoid getting pwn3d, someone finds a way to kill me. Or vice versa.

But you / they are doing that on the airport right? Try it in Algonquin and things might change...

 

I think what Bean really wanted to say is that you don't piss you pants when you suddenly see an Apache-like-helicopter above you, like you would be in real life. This obviously changes with the DLC...

Still, now they should have an option weather or not you want to allow the helicopters in multiplayer... it could be fun in FM and a laid back way of griefing, but having TDM's where most people are driving to the airport in the first 3 minutes to grab a heli could be annoying.

 

I shouldn't give a f*ck anyway though... I got a PS3... choke on your DLC X-Box'ers!! devil.giflol.gif

Yes, we did the matches at the airport and yes, the ground forces were once again humiliated. When I can brag about killing somebody ONE TIME, it's pretty bad!

I'd like to see that sh*t go down in Bohan and stev150 as ground force... monocle.gif

Naw, Algonquin is probably the toughest area for a pilot (except Middle Park). As you can hit the sourrounding builidngs when you try to get away from the bullets and ground forces have a lot of stuff for cover...

 

Stev could be a true ground force though... if he is as good as taking out pilots as he is with drivers.

I mean seriously... there is no f*cking way to run him over unless you get him from behind while he is busy 2-shot-killing somebody else or blips are off and your car doesn't make too much noise. When he knows where you coming from, your dead on sight... unfortunately not only in a vehicle. angry.gif#

 

When is the next "Pilots VS Footsoldiers"?

Don't know, I've been trying to train these pilots to be griefers.

lol.gif You already got a grief-boot-camp now?

 

Anyway, I just found that thread in the "Events" section of the forum. Gonna keep an eye on it, so I'll hopefully be in the next one. Already killed SCARFACE99 who is in the playerlist of the tread, in a chopper from the passenger seat of a car this week. biggrin.gif Maybe I can convince Stev to give it a try aswell.
