kgrogfefji82 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Alright I don't know about you guys but I'm thinking a helicopter capable of lifting up trains and cars is a f*ckload of more fun than a rhino tank. I can just see myself lift up cop cars super high up then just let go of them high up in the air and just watch'em fall to the ground I just hope this is possible during gameplay and that it just doesn't happen during a missions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slomojoe Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 it's gonna be only for that mission. trust me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruePiMs Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hope it won't be like in San Andreas with the same helicopter only playable in mission ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guns N R0se Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 it will be one mission most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanjeem Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 One Mission? If R* make the parachute for 1 mission, as along with the Helicopter that lifts thinbgs up, Rockstar has dissapointed us all and they are truly un-wise to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OysterBarron Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 since forever but you only get to use it in one mission, i think you use it to steal something from the military base? I would like this copter and a rhino put them both together and you have major win, exspecially if its avaliable in multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just has a hanging magnet trailing from underneath. This new one looks like it's used to pick up containers ect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgtafan Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I doubt it will be used out of mission. Plus I still liked the Rhino more than the heli that could pick up cars in SA so I'm biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic_Al Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 The helicopter in San Andreas was the Leviathan, and you got to keep it but you didn't get to keep its magnet. The physics were interesting because the magnet was the same as the one on cranes you could use anytime, but in the mission with the Leviathan only the target car was light enough to lift and fly easily with. If you screwed around and tried to lift any other vehicle, you could grab on and pick it up but you could barely stay airborne. So Rockstar cheated the physics for the mission and it was pretty obvious why you didn't get to keep the magnet. Maybe a better San Andreas comparison is the Andromeda cargo aircraft which appears in two missions but is never drivable, except thorough cheats and mods.

EncryptedReality Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 haha even if it aint usable ill just fit that heli in mah garage (do whatever it take ) just to hav it , and for parachites just save mission before and i can use em always in mission. There you go , problem solved LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlJaDa Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I often like to annoy the boaters and airport racers in multiplayer free mode by hovering real low over them in a heli, hopefully this isn't a one-mission chopper and I get to REALLY cause some trouble for them!

EncryptedReality Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I beleive that the chopper grabbing a train vagon is a script only for mission , and that it wont be usable always , just like in San Andreas !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Rockstar cheated the physics for the mission and it was pretty obvious why you didn't get to keep the magnet. Rockstar can easily go around that limit by increasing the thrust. If you put the magnet on a regular Hunter, it can lift almost all small vehicles. Increase the thrust and you can lift even the heaviest vehicle in the game.

SovietWarrior42 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 What about the chopper on the box? In the game? That one reminds me of the old Leviathan and Cargobob in one. Also, I've always remembered the Skycrane helicopters from the scene in Swordfish where the bus gets lifted. Wouldn't mind recreating that in multiplayer.

CryptReaperDorian Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) I think it's scripted for that Skycrane heli lifting up the train car. Also, I think it was only designed to lift up the train car. EDIT: I think the heli is going to be called the Skyhook. Has anybody else catch that in the preview thing that they have an uppercase "s" on the word "skyhook"?

SovietWarrior42 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I hope not, because hooking up a bus to it would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I think you might be on to somethin Dorian, Skyhook would be a good name for it. After Luis jumps from the heli, the next shot shows two Annihilators, wasn't the window layout different in the interior shot of Luis jumping out? p.s. Does anyone read the topics before posting?
