Oh WHAT THE f*ck, BONEYARD SURVIVAL

[Kifflom]

THEY MADE THE ROOFTOP OUT OF BOUNDS?!?

 

What is this sh*t?!?!

 

First they f*cked up the Sandy Shores Survival by making the wrecked house of bounds. Now they f*ck up the Boneyards by making the roof out of bounds. Watch, next, they'll "rebalance" the Trainyards by making the entire shipping crates out area of bounds. You will stand in the MIDDLE of the street, or nowhere at all!!!

 

The worst part is, it doesn't even make the maps more competitive. It just means that players will find lamer, more boring spots to defend from. You know where my teammates spent the last Boneyards match? Wedged in a tiny crack between a trailer and a brick wall. I sh*t you not. Spent all ten rounds behind two ten-foot high walls, taking dinky potshots at enemies funneling towards them no more than five feet away.

 

OH HEAVEN FORBID WE HAVE A FUN SPOT TO GO ON A SURVIVAL MAP.

agreed I got kicked because I was on that roof top for 25 seconds

[Virtual Pancake]

I support this thread.

 

I use the same trailer/brick wall combination now due to rooftop removal. Stupid R*.

if they patch that trailer, there is nothing to do but run around.

LOL, yeah, I think I was on the roof with you. I noticed the countdown, and I was like, f*ck, bugout. Wish I had a headset to warn ya.

[ProblemChiild88]

Finally experienced the out of bound bullsh*t yesterday. If I wasn't on the roof top then I would hide inside the garbage can that was right in front of the rooftop building,

 

Survival was my favorite game mode for a while, I just wish it wasn't limited and kept going until everyone dies.

[Doolz351]

Go to the wall behind the roof, right side. near the downed plane. pretty much untouchable from there.

 

And more so with cover

[Remmi420]

This is total bs

Used to have a lot of respect for rockstar they always seem like they care n will fix problems

But come the f on !

I was wondering y I got kicked the other night now I know y

Agree w kifflom god forbid we find a spot we like

[JasePearson]

Took a bunch of newbies into a Survival match, thought I might help them get some cash. Got them into the barn and wanted to make it easy for them in the first few waves, so I climbed up onto the roof and didn't get any warning or anything.. Poor newbies had to fight wave 4 with pistols..

[Black Rabbit]

Total nuts they removed the roof. It's not like it was an automatic win spot, especially in free aim.

I just go behind the planes now, where the body armor shows up on the wing (but across the road) and make them come to me.

Also have been getting a little better at using the hangar, but need two people in there.

[Munx]

Its one thing to nerf these locations, however the way they did it is COMPLETLY inexcuseable, getting kicked from your game without any sort of explination why, and no indication that you shouldnt go there..

 

No idea what the f*ck R* were thinking with this move, they seem to have lost it completly tbh.

 

Almost feels like im back to playing WarZ, those who have played it should understand the refrence.

i don't know if it's true but yesterday i was searching online about the survival missions and came across this thread this person made and they said the reason the changed it is so the AI wouldn't have such a hard time or so it would be easier for the AI.

[Dr. Mantis Toboggan]

Oh, is that why I lost without dying last time? That's totally lame. They also rearranged the crates on either end of the warehouse so the cover they provide isn't quite as good, plus they removed that small bin that was in front of the structure with the roof, which was also a good hiding spot.

 

And you're saying they pulled the same sh*t with Sandy Shores also? That sucks...

[GotDjent?]

Again. I blame cash cards. They want to make it nearly impossible for us to make money. These spots weren't even a sure fire way to win. I've still yet to survive wave four by myself. What's next, we can't do missions or races with crew members? God f*cking forbid rockstar spend time fixing the actual problems with online...

[Glockodile]

they don't f*cking fix glitches and sh*t like Criminal record yet they nerf a totally legitimate way to play... wow

 

And boundaries... really? in a open world game!?

[Garrison64]

My favorite spot on Boneyard is the wrecked car that has the destroyed red van by it. It's over where the blue bin used to be next to the roof that can't be used any more. You can squat behind that wrecked car near the rear axle and nothing gets to you except the choppers. On levels when those are coming I go back just a bit and squeeze between the two cargo bins. It's not quite as good but you can still cover both yards and it's a lot harder for the choppers to hit you in there. Before the really crazy levels near the end I toss out a few C4's just in case things get hairy.

 

They just made the maps a bit more challenging. All of them are still possible to get to level 10 on. It just isn't a cake walk like it used to be. Personally I think it's more fun this way.

[MyLittlePony]

Good because you idiots keep dying.

[Alix626]

If I want to have fun playing 10 wave co-op survival-type matches I'll go play Mass Effect 3...wait, that's what I've been doing the past few days.

[RAS_ZeroZ]

I got stuck in a 2 player boneyard last night and he asked me to come behind the trailer with him.. we covered both sides until wave 10 having only picked up armor only once. First time I've done that.. very effective.

[Loser_1337]

It's still just as easy to beat guys. I never used to roof or glitched back room either you just need to play smart!

I use pistol till round 8-9, its actually pretty fast and good.

Everyone needs to stop blaming the cashcards.. It was the worst spot in Boneyard I can think of, so they only helped the noobs. Ok it's a fun spot to stay some rounds, but it is in no way the most effective one. I played a couple of survivals today and people were all picking pro spots now and were actually.. surviving. I reallt don't get why they deleted it, I heard about some glitch there, but they certainly didnt delete it cause it's some kind of magic superspot.

You led them to their deaths.

[RAS_ZeroZ]

lol, it's a learning experience

[Elemental716]

In R* defence they are trying to make it more challenging by setting more distinct boundaries. I found survival very easy on free aim because you could just set up in certain areas and force the AI to spawn in chokepoints.

 

A better fix would to have more random spawn points for AI to keep you on your toes.

[Mikeol1987]

The dockyard crates are off limits now too. For scrapyard I always take cover behind the wrecked car just near the roof but behind it a bit. Near plane wing and near to where mg spawns later waves. Pretty good spot .

[Pitch~Black]

Well, I can understand the glitched side room being blocked off; it was kind of cheap. The rooftop, however, seems a little silly to "fix" as it was by no means an insta-win. As others have pointed out, there are better spots. What I don't care for is the way the rooftop was "fixed". Why not deny access completely? It's just stupid to climb up there (which is a logical thing to do - high ground and all that) just to be told, basically, you have to get down .... but thanks for scrambling up here and all that! Sorry!

But ... but ... I can get up here!

 

Yes, you can but you cannot stay. Muahahahaha!

Actually, you're wrong. So wrong it's almost funny! The roof is not a "magic" superspot - there ARE no "magic" superspots, which is part of the reason why all this nerfing that's been going on is complete bollocks - but it was the spot with the best fields of fire. With a two man fire-team, you can cover most approaches on the map with little risk of getting flanked, including at least two major spawn points. The cover is low, but given the angles your enemies are shooting at, it's pretty solid defensively. You'll take a lot of fire, especially in later rounds, and it's very exposed to helicopter fire, but that just adds to the fun. And that's what it's all about, cowboy. Fun.

 

And I hate to break it to ya, but GotDjent is totally right about the cashcards. I love how it's always the total noobs who jump to the defense of cashcards (LEAVE CASHCARDS ALONE, THEY'RE A HUMAN BEING waa waa waa, that's what you sound like)

As do I.

[iVoltScopez V2]

I personally thought Boneyard was hardest to complete... I love trainyard for the shipping crates and if that gets fixed than why not just shut down survival overall?
