Weapon Customization

[JustRob]

Let's talk guns.

 

I think we can all agree that the weapons up until now in GTA have been pretty awesome. However, there's always room for improvement.

 

I for one would love weapon customization. Not different weapons for a pistol and a silenced pistol, but instead a silencer that you can put on the pistol and take it off. Different scopes for your sniper, magazine enhancements, etc.

 

What are your thoughts on this?

I would love this.

 

Now, I love the M4. It's a solid rifle that can take down a man with one round if placed right. So how do we improve this? I know most would say "Add a thermal scope, laser sight, blah blah blah." But I have a better idea. Let's simply open it up and change a few things so it fires a .50 cal. Now, for all you people that call me a "f*cking retarded c*nt". This weapon does exist.

I thought it would be almost certain we can mod weapons, since we saw silencers,laser sights, etc. in screenshots and trailers.

But hey, no 100% certainty until the official word is out.

It would add some extra depth to the ingame experience but its all up to R*. Maybe its possible you could only change it in your safehouse and in amunation (since ammunation is back) just like clothing in gta iv. And it would make for some sweet DLC.

I'm all for weapon customization, but I honestly think they need to get rid of automatic assault rifles from the game. All the shootings that have involved automatic assault rifles, it's just too fresh in everyone's memory to think R* can slip them into V unnoticed.

 

I'd hate to see another shooting make national headlines, and have the media ready with the knowledge that GTA V has automatic assault rifles readily available to people with a few short presses of a button. I know it's too close to release to take them out completely, but put a firing cap on them or something and make them strictly semi-auto.

 

The last thing R* wants is GTA to be caught in the crossfire of another massacre and give the media that kind of firepower to bring down the franchise, because the next one might really force politicians to make a stand on these violent game/real life simulators.

 

Soon it won't be about the race to buy weapons before they get banned, but rather these coveted video games. I'm seriously thinking about reserving 3 copies just in case something happens to my original and the game is banned when I go to try and replace it.

 

This isn't the 90's anymore people, these things like gangs and violence just aren't as accepted as they once were.

Whatever you're on, can I have some?

A man can be taken down just as easy with a .22 rifle. A pellet rifle, if ya know what'cher doin'. But I like the M4 too.

 

I'd like to see some gun mods like in Far Cry 3, but R* inspired and refined.

 

 

@Arcaneknight:

Dude, keep your anti-gun control lunacy away from GTA please. What the hell do video games, movies, or books, have to do with shootings or massacres? If you have guns, keep them locked in a safe, especially if there is someone mentally ill in your home. It's called being a responsible gun owner. It's common sense. I have to nominate your post as the dumbest I've ever seen here at the forums, BTW.

We've already got a thread for this, dude.

 

Still, I'd say weapon customization is a given considering all the guns we've seen in screenshots and trailers so far. Personally though, I want to see silencers like everybody else. High-capacity magazines for certain weapons would be good, as long as they keep it balanced. If you throw a drum magazine on an assault rifle, it should take twice as long to reload to compensate for the ammo boost. I think scopes could work like they did in Max Payne 3 where you can activate it in first-person mode. I was skeptical about scopes at first, but after seeing the first-person mods for GTA IV I've been convinced that a first-person shootout with police is awesome. Everything else seems kind of trivial, i.e laser sights, flashlights, camouflage.

yeah and deal with the 3x higher recoil and stress on the receiver (although GTA doesn't have gun jams and such so it shouldn't be a huge problem) among with worse accuracy, less magazine capacity and alot bigger ammo price.
