GTA Race experiences

Okay, so I've been getting into some GTA Race matches to try something different and I am surprised by something very strange.

 

When I try to ram another opponents car off the road or put him in the wall like a Nascar driver, I am sometimes kicked. bored.gif

 

monocle.gif Now, maybe I'm not the brightest tool in the shed, but doesn't GTA Race imply you are trying to kill your opponent, or at least f*ck their sh*t up and gain a position?

 

Anyone else experience this?

 

Another funny is when someone sets up a GTA Race with no weapons. Couldn't they have just set up a regular Race? ph34r.gif

Speaking of, just a couple of mins ago. I was racing and accidentally caused a huge chain reaction on the freeway. After the game they all kicked me.

Regular race is intended to be about skill and racing clean.

GTA race is where you race dirty and kill eachother.

@ Im_The_Supreme_Bitch_Round_Here, your name is hella long.

I'm just gonna call you ITSBRH lol

Yeah. icon14.gif

 

Wonder why some people don't get that. Mind boggling.

 

 

@Supreme - That would have been cool to see.

Personally, I like Race to much to ruin it with weapons confused.gif

 

I know it's anything goes, but I hate when the host switches from race to GTA race. And it's supercars on 4 laps, and someone 'nades my car on the first lap. Then I get spawned with a faggio for the remaining laps... are you sh*tting me?

 

I think about 70% of the time it's luck, the other is about actually driving and shooting!

 

And pretty much every game you enter, there's at least 2 people spawn killing which is funny when it's you but f*cking annoying getting killed repeatedly Shifty41s_beerhatsmilie2.gif

 

Once when I played GTA race not long after getting the game, I was being spawn killed at the airport. It was my mission to actually get away and I only had half a lap left... I ended up going 6-65 LOL

They had a female character who said "someone needs to keep a low profile" EVERY single time she killed me haha

Lol, I was kicked about 5 times in one race for making a blockade in GTA Race. I have experienced it and it is indeed annoying.

And in a GTA Race with no weapons, and crappy starting vehicles. The 'clever' one gets out immediately (after putting Traffic to High) and finds a bike or banshee and wins the race, while the 'not-so-clever' guys in trucks keep racing and ramming. And you can't get out of your car in regular race is another reason confused.gif

You get the point.

I actually find it easier to win GTA races instead of just regular races. Since most people just mess around, it usually makes the competition to the finish line pretty easy. Yesterday I was doing an eight lap road race on Stars in Your Eyes and after the third or fourth lap, everyone was just running around killing each other. I just kept on driving in my Comet and being careful of not running into anyone. Plus, the fact that a health pack spawned every lap, I didn't have to worry about my car becoming too damaged.

It is actually possible to gain more fictional dollars than the winner by just killing. I think this is what really annoys people. I try to never waste an opportunity to cap someone who just respawned because that is what's been done to me.

You might get pissed at me then because I'll ram your ass. ...Or, I mean I'll hit your car that is. blush.gif

I prefer just racing. If i notice some wee guy doing some ramming (me or someone else) i'll make sure to spin him out. Had some toppers where they're grinding with me and i'll pull away then slam, next thing their straight into a wall lol

Grenades are annoying as hell. As J4 said, its annoying getting grenaded in the first lap. They really should have made you start off with a better vehicle.. lol

Its very rarely that someone will get more money that the guy in first place (well thats as long as the guy in first has had a fair few kills.) The amount of times i'v had say about 6 kills, and the spawn camper gets double, i finish 1st - 3rd which means i tend to get more.

I tend to just do races. GTA races if full of grenaders (some of them must finsih with a good 40 odd grenades lol) and then theres the AA nub spawn campers. Doesn't feel like a game or fun, just nubs that can't race and give up at the beggining.

the best game i ever played on the amiga was road rash

 

i want to be able to kick ppl of their bikes in a race but i cant so i ram u instead

 

the way some ppl act after u rammed em u would think i'd rammed them in rl

get a life its only a game if you wasn't suppose to ram why did they make damage models

The more annoying thing is though... every fairly big race, they'll be a f*cking spectacular wipeout colgate.gif and thats when they start leaving sad.gif

One thing i love the most, is overtaking people when you've been held back/spun out. People leaving makes that difficult as theres more time between everyone. I always have to get the guy back that spun me out. Always orgasmic when you do it ha ha

I'll never go into a race and decide to spin, push etc. One thing you notice lol is the idiots that do try and stop people overtaking, always end up being overtook due to them leaving space at the other side when their trying to deal with someone he he

I might need to start doing it though.. come on, so close to being 10 and i do win a fair amount. Soon it'll be time for fun and f*cking about happy.gif Had a hate message last week by a 5 that complained about me f*cking him over in a race. He started it.. lol

I don't understand this..

 

Mainly higher levels aswell to, prefer to not race but about turn and set crap up so they can get easy kills.. Now that ain't a part of AWP.

Got invited to a race, me and another 10 and a 7 with 2 or 3 noobs. The 10 immediatley turns round, so i pick up a gun and do the same (he woulda killed me and the 7 woulda had a breeze.) I finsihed with 7 - 3, him 3 - 6 i think. Got spam kicked, hate messaged and he's even turned into a bigger bitch by spam kicking me whenever he's in the same game as me.

Now this is something i'm gonna be doing alot (I'm 10 now, don't need to win.) So why are people such big cry babies when people do the same thing (griefing) back to the stupid f*cks? lol

The most annoying this is when you are in a normal race and a guy is mostly the last in line and starts ghost riding! This is especially annoying when you got a track that has intervening laps, one guy was just sitting there waiting for someone to bash over, he never got me though, i got good eyesight and saw him waiting, i dodged him just in time and someone behind me crashed right in his side!

 

And i really don't like doing races with weapons turned on, you always get idiots who will just start shooting at everything and just forget to race! Sometimes i just switch to Team Deathmatch, most of the times they suck hard at it...

 

And i sometimes set up a gta race without weapons, just so we can race with trucks, choppers and other stuff you won't get in normal Race.

I wish there were no weapons off option in GTA race, go play a regular race if you don't want weapons. I will go out of my way to take out a host who has weapons turned off. Surprises the heck out of them when you shotgun the twits. Same for hosts who set up 8 laps of SIYE. Why is the crappiest track in the whole game the most popular? I save spawn camping for lag cheats, turbo users, spawn campers, and modders. I love GTA race and I usually race to win but if you get naded or shot on the first lap there is the fun of griefing the leaders or whoever took you out in the first place.

I was in a GTA race just last week. Taxiing, some guy got the SMG spawn pretty much right out of the gate, and was SICK at drive bys, shot and killed 4 people before the first corner! 4 lap race, 4 people on faggio's who decided to spawn kill for the rest of the 4 laps. and because everyone joined in the shooting, and stopped the racing, i had to leave the game because i was waiting for about 5 mins before anyone else finished the race, and still the countdown didnt start as too many people were still 'racing'.

That's the reason why i don't like weapons in GTA race! We can just start (Team) Deathmatch for these kind of situations...

I've been doing races in the normal race mode, and it gets boring after a while... In GTA Race, it's awesome... sure they're some guys that tries to kill you, but still, it's fun dodging and avoiding them. Slamming other cars is the most common in both race mode, but idk why, in GTA Race, it's more aggressive and awesome...

 

a few hours ago, I went into 1st place in a 5 lap GTA Race with full 16 people on it (no one left icon14.gif ). Only 7 people racing and the others were just trying to stop us and kill us. It's fun as hell, the teamwork on both sides... it's like Team Racing Deathmatch biggrin.gif

Sure it's fun, but some people take it to extreme measures, a votekick rarely works. But it makes you better in racing, i was starting a race few days ago and just a few seconds in the race my left tire was blown off entirely! i still managed to finish the race on the rim. My car was burning yesterday and the guy who did it crashed so i thought, good opportunity for revenge! So i crashed into him and BOOM! took him with me.... devil.gif

Don't like the guys in GTA Race that aren't racing, but only deathmatching?

Disallow the auto-aim. Simple as that. They will stop, or start shooting at their own feet instead of the other players. Shifty41s_beerhatsmilie2.gif

^ I couldnt agree more..

 

Yesterday I was is first place with almost a whole round down to number two, but I got killed and kept spawning the same place where this guy killed me about ten times before i finally got away. plus, even when you are done, you have to wait about 10 mins. for the others to finish because they keep getting killed by that same guy.

When I want to race I don't even bother checking the GTA Race section.. sly.gif

Exactly.....GTA Race is a completely different game. Really several games in one. Sometimes it's a race, sometimes a deathmatch, depends on the settings and players. I like that wild card element. Deathmatch bores me, WTF is up with no penalty for getting shot? If R* could make one change it would be to add the option of costing a player $100 every time they are killed. Deathmatch might be a little more interesting, more strategy and less melee.

Nice... I'm now at the SPEC of a GTA Race (Auto-Aim Allowed, 8 LAPS, Star in your Eyes). The race started with like, 13 players. Everybody was racing back then, but then some losers (that must suck in a DM) started to fight. This is so annoying, this f*cking race started like, 40mins ago and these assholes are still fighting. ¬¬

Here's the PSN ID of some of these guys:

Set up the races with a friend who won't ram or kick you and get all your trophys and cash or whatever. Want cash? set up Team mafia with a friend, then wait for a third to start game, then U both kick that 3rd and split the $50,000 and the missions. cool.gif
