Ever get BS bad sport points? Here's how to nulifly them. (360)

[Omnifarious]

Ever blow up somebody's car unintentionally? Fire off a quick few rounds at someone trying to run you over, and their car suddenly explodes? Ever have someone ram your plane and explode? Ever fall of a building and land on someone's personal car? Ever fire off a grenade at a jeep of military personal to save your friend, and it blew up his car that was right next to the jeep? Ever accidentally drive your friends Sultan into a drink while off roading it in an impromptu race?

 

Well, then I'm here to help, a simple solution to most situations. Got bad sport points for blowing up your pursers car? Simply dashboard, or turn off the power to your console, that simple. I don't know if PS3 has a dashboarding feature, if so, then it will work for you as well.

 

You see, the servers aren't a bunch of all knowing eyes, recording every thing you do, as you do it, no. They save every so often at specific points, like right after leaving a clothing store, or when finding a new session, or after completing a mission. If you blow up a car, and don't want the points, just dashboard.

 

I just purposely blew up enough cars to get a bad sport rep with an alt character of mine to test this out. And sure enough, every time I blew up a persons car that would put me "over the edge" and have the game consider me a bad sport, I would dashboard, and it would not save the incident. I hope this helps some of you guys out! Yeah sure, this could be used to troll etc, but the troll could only kill one person, than have to wait 10 minutes to kill another before dashboading again and heading to a new server.

 

This has helped me twice already, some guy in a Cheetah ran me over in passive mode as I exited a store, and he parked his car on me until I died, I re-spawned, he did so again before I could get into cover. Now, the third time, I took passive mode off, and fire off my shotgun at him as he tried to run me over, his car exploded in only 3 shots for some reason...

 

Another, as mentioned above, my dad was trying to get into a jet, I fired a grenade off at the soldiers shooting him, blowing up his bike that was near by, no bad sport points either. Thank bloody Christ this work around works. It may seem tedious to some of you, but it's plenty worth it to me. Not to mention, any exploits that can be had from this, are far to tedious to do. Like farming a bounty for 9k, or trolling.

 

*Get bounty*

 

*Have friend shoot you for bounty*

 

*Dashboard*

 

*re-load game*

 

*Start up Online*

 

*Have friend re-invite to game*

 

*Load into his server*

 

*find friend*

 

*Have him kill you again for bounty*

 

*Restart process*

 

See? That'd take like 20 minutes per 9k for only ONE of the people, and like 4 or so k if they split it, not worth it.

A simple fix but I'd just like to add: be careful doing this.

 

Exiting the game from the dashboard closes the game before your progress can be saved to R*'s cloud servers. While useful for removing BS points or retrieving money from hospital bills, etc. It will also wipe whatever other progress you made in that session. Just wanted people to know before seeing follow up posts calling OP a dick because they just lost their new sports car or some sh*t.

I had a hilarious accidental badsport last night, was at about 4 stars in a Buzzard blowing up cop cars and helicopters when one of the missiles locks on to a cop car in a parking lot. Unfortunately that parking lot happened to be the impound lot and I accidentally blow up 3 impounded vehicles.

That's pretty awesome that you play gta with your dad!

I don't get that....everyone talks about accidental "BAD SPORT"....because u blew up 3 cars?...Hmmmmm.....I don't see it myself. I blow up personal cars...more than 3 a day everyday.

 

I get a warning saying that I will be a bad sport if I continue....then if I keep doing it...I get the "stop or else" warning.....then the next day I do it again and again and the warnings seem to reset.

I still get good sport money....so don't understand when people get bad sport because they just blew up a few personal cars.

 

In your case maybe because its the time frame why you got it......for myself (my opinion) its a time frame thing.

This doesn't work on PS3. I lost power in the middle of a race this morning (immediate console shut off) and had a bad sport warning when it came back on.

"Hey, here's a fix to being a bad sport. It's a good thing there are no mods, or R* members that read these posts, so they can patch it, no longer letting us do it."

Why would you be all proud to be a marine and then make a crew called "One stop pot shop"? really dude?

 

Lets see how proud you are when you fail a UA.

 

Been in the military for almost ten years and I see soldiers go left and right for stupid sh*t like drugs.

It would be more interesting if missile locks and impounds were in the Online aspect of GTA.

Firstly: The narrower the mind, the wider the mouth. <----- That's you Ballistic.

 

Secondly: My brother was in the corps, not I.

 

Thirdly: How can someone who has been in the Military for 10 YEARS, be so blind and deaf to the medicinal properties of Marijuana? You realize Marijuana is a proven treatment considering the effects of PTSD. (Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder, if you're too blind for that too.)

or just play clean?

Because I am so sure you are using Medicinal marijuana you were bad enough to need medicinal drugs like pot and amphetamines then your military career would be non existent anyways.

Either represent our heroes or you can represent drugs. but please do not do both because it is rude.

And don't speak about my service as if you know what you are talking about, I fought for my country more then once, you supported a family member from the sidelines. It does not entitle you to think you know what it's like.

 

I don't need some punk pothead kid telling me my business when it comes to my colors.

[csukar]

You sounded like a salesman XD

[LcplJarheadFi]

Did I say I used Medicinal marijuana? No. And dude, I f*ckING LAUGHED MY ASS OFF AT YOU TELLING ME WHO TO REPRESENT. f*ck you. My brother died supporting our rights. What have you done, you pussy weekend warrior? Again. f*ck. You.

 

These "drugs" you're talking about, are safer than any Big Pharma sh*t they're pumping into your dumbass. Not to mention it is getting legalised/decriminalized more and more every day, because idiots like you are finally dying off, and are no longer able to brainwash our future generations.

 

Do you even have any clue as to why they made Marijuana illegal in the first place? Not because they were worried it would be the next heroin, but because the production of hemp would have put many large corporations out of business.

 

My brother told me stories that would make you cry like the bitch you are, and then some. I'm not entitled to anything. But I'm gonna call a wannabe out when he talks sh*t about something in my life that I care about.

 

Thank you, come again. I look forward to your kindergarten level rebuttal.

You realise both ARE in the Online aspect of GTA? You can missile lock onto police cars, and the impound lot exists for when you are killed by the cops and they impound your car?

You know what I do when doctors give me prescription? I throw it away when I get home. I will only take something if I know its 100% effective and greatly needed. Marijuana? You can get the needed aspects of it to help your "medical" issue without the THC. Except, the only reason people want marijuana is for the THC and yet that is not the part that is needed.

I've heard many people say this. But it doesn't work like this for me. I blew up exactly 3 personal vehicles before the game put me in a bad sport lobby.

All either accidental or me just defending myself from someone else who shot me first.

Wow, someone with a brain cell? THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive compound in Marijuana, while CBD's (Cannabidiols) are the compounds assosiacted with pain relief.

Okay, keep dashboarding and when your character is deleted, please don't make a thread about it...
