The MP-Free Mode

I had an idea how FREE ROAM MP should work in GTA5. Or at least how I would like it to be.

First I explain some Event ideas and at the end I explain how all of this should work in free roam. ( how to start events and how to set them up etc.)

 

 

 

1st Event Idea:

Free-Races across the Map:

 

You can set a marker on the other site of the map which all your friends can see. then you race to the destination without GPS lines or something. only with the destionation marker and your knowledge of the map. this would be so much fun cause its really not just about your driving skills but also about your map knowledge.

 

 

2nd Event Idea:

Hide and Seek:

 

i want something were one of your friends hides in the city and you have to find him. every 15 seconds u get and indication in which part of the map he is currently located. would be boring alone but with some friends it would be really fun. especially as I saw alot of ladders and stuff to go up on buildings. So if you work in a Team for example, two guys go for a chopper and search the "bad guy" from above like the police does and gives the players on the ground some advices where he is located.

 

 

3rd Event Idea:

Team Hide and Seek:

 

same as hide and seek just with 2 teams. first team who kills him gets a point.

 

 

4th Event Idea:

Stunt challenges like in NFS MW:

 

u drive to a monster stunt location ( or probably can set up one by you own ) and choose a goal. for exaple:

1. the longest jump wins,

2. the guy with most barrel-rolls ( car flips ) wins,

 

 

5th Event Idea

Drag Races:

 

explains itself pretty good. You search for a straight street/highway, first guy who arrives at the finish wins.

 

 

more will be added...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How this should work:

 

The Host of the session can bring up his phone and has options to start all these events. For example, he brings up the phone and chooses "free race". then a map appears and wants him to mark the destination point. if he has choosed the destination a starting line appears very nearby with markers ( as much marker as Players are in ) and everybody has to hold at one marker. then the countdown starts and the race beginns.

 

 

 

After one of these events has finished, the free roam continues where all players are currently located without a loading screen or something.

 

 

 

If this Thread doesnt gets closed/deleted/trolled/bashed/flamed/hated Ill update this post with some improvments and additions. Probably add your ideas if I like them

 

ps: sorry for the very cheap design-layout I used there. Ill improve it if that Thread doesnt gets closed/deleted/trolled/bashed/flamed/hated

How about they have two versions of freemode.

 

Version 1. Would just be the standard freemode we all played in IV run around shoot stuff, run stuff over, be a griefing ass to noobs, meet people, be social.

 

Version 2. Would be the new GTA V: Persistent Crew World. Where you would have goals, and crew territories. Your crew would mean something, every bullet fed into an opposing faction member would be counted on a world scoreboard. Your attempts to rule the game with your friends would be rewarded with status and ganghouses. Be able to purchase revenue streams with your crew and scheme to get further than the rest. All this would be happening organically with a persistent server tracking all crews registered on the Rockstar Social Club.

 

With the mini-MMO element being used in a lot of mainstream titles these days, Borderlands, and Dead Island just as examples. I think its feasible to see Rockstar doing something like this or in this vein seeing as how experimental they are. It would definitely keep me playing for a long while.

They should integrate less popular modes such as Car Jack City, Mafiya Work, and Turf Wars as being Free Roam activities. I think it would breathe life into these modes.

Cool story bro.

[ugotsmoked]

I really enjoyed Chopper VS Chopper in TLAD when I could get a game.

[crazyal888]

They should incorparate events like RDR. They had many things you could do in Free roam such as gang hideouts, and it can be transformed into crime locations/gang fights.

[PTG_]

Very good ideas OP. It would be awesome if we could play team hide and seek or have some stunt jump challenges.

I know what u mean. To let this fit in my idea the crew feature should be in the normal free mode but the crew leader has to request or accept a request to activate that they can shoot each other imo. it would be annoying if you want to do stuff with your crew and they try to interrupt you all the time.

 

 

[USAPatriot]

I really like number 1 through 3. All very good ideas. Hide and seek is something I have done before, when you run around hiding a person on your team, but it would be cool if it was done like how you said it!

[Xayias]

Yes. I am sold on the Free-race thing.

 

It would be nice to have more things happen in free mode, like small events that happen dynamically in the game. Though there is the people not doing the activities that can ruin it for the other players but I am sure there is a way around all of that.

[Tagan55]

I had an idea for an awesome game mode, it's kinda like a ffa where say 1-8 people all go one at a time to see who can build up the most $ damage done and kills combine for a score of some sort in a certain amount of time. All around the map this would be awesome to see the different kinds of techniques in areas with different weapons and such, Like an online rampage mode would be so awesome!

If, there should be seperate Events for MP. Events which fit a Group of 6 or more guys. Maybe a Biker gang which appears and tries to attack you because you are in theri territory

You mean like all 8 at the same time?

 

I think this would let the consoles crash

 

Saints Row had such a Mode in SP. Called Mayhem. YOu had a certain amount of time and u had to do as much damage as possible. kill people, destroy cars, shoot trains, u did get score for everything even when destroying a bucket. in that certain time u had infinite ammo. the mode was pretty awesome. Another version of your idea would be that the players do that one after the other. the guys not playing atm have to watch him . but that sounds a bit weird to me.

Personally i would like a mode where the protags can be CO-OP. You can be Micheal for Ex. Your friends can be Trevor and Frank and they can help you out and stuff

unfortunatelly its confirmed that V will not have SP co op if that is what u mean

R* always takes out some of the best things. Would you have included it if you were MR.HOUSER MD

I would have had it more in LA Noire, with the fact that there is always some dude following you... -_-

the 3 Protagonist Feature almost jumps in your face when you have to think about possible MP modes

 

in SR you could play the complete SP with a friend online. Like you are in SP free roam a friends always can join like in Borderlands. after that u can do EVERYTHING together. all mini games, missions, you can tune cars... everything you can do alone

Yea I meant that each person would get like 1:30 and the other people spectate and chat while he causes destruction and whoever has the highest score at the end wins, and specific locations the game could add tons of peds or destructible stuff

[JOSEPH X]

They should integrate less popular modes such as Car Jack City, Mafiya Work, and Turf Wars as being Free Roam activities. I think it would breathe life into these modes.

Good idea!

 

I think the game should set objectives, like steal a certain car and take it to a certain point. Or take over a patch of turf with your gang. The objectives are randomised and you get them via text. It would be great if people were doing lots of different, worthwhile things all over the map.

Ill think about how to this could be implemented into my idea of the free mode.

I think these Modes should then no longer be modes but random events like you said

[douggoud]

I wonder if they'll incorporate some sort of treasure hunt in the game, be it in the city, the countryside, or the ocean. Everyone shooting and killing each other to get the treasure first. (Once you get one, you keep it no matter how many times you get killed), and then there's another treasure than gets marked and the race continues (kind of like a point to point type of race and whoever has to most "checkpoints, or treasures is the winner). The amount of "rounds" being determined before hand. I don't know, it sounds sort of interesting in my head, lol.

 

Actually, what about a submarine race? lol (would be slow, but I wonder how underwater collisions would work).

 

The possibilities are endless for multiplayer (of course, that depends on what R* will leave in from single player, I expect trains to not end up in multiplayer, for whatever reason, but seeing as in IV and RDR they were absent, I don't expect them to be in V's multiplayer either, but I've been wrong before, and it would be a pleasant surprise would actually be cool to have everyone on a train and derail it to see what happens) so we'll have to see just what they leave in. Even if submarines weren't a closeable vehicle for races, you could just set one up manually, mind you I'm using them as an example of course, I don't think there'd be enough submarines in one area to have enough to have a race. Either way, unique races like that will be interesting, if not for just a moment.

[iNero]

Nah. They should just expand online racing to air and on sea. I highly doubt submarines will be any fast
