What do you like/dislike the most about the police AI?

As the thread name says, What do you like/dislike the most about the police AI/NPC's? I like how aggressive they are for example: I can't help but laugh every time they just start shooting at me for standing by them or looking at them for too long. Depending on the situation I either like or dislike the fact that I get a wanted level when they crash into me. I'm not sure if something like this has been posted before sorry if it has but I tried searching for it (Not very extensively).

It's a good or bad thing I guess, it can be a pain or really funny. I once had a four star wanted level and couldn't get rid of the cops for some reason, until I took a sharp turn where some near bye players were waiting in their cars and the police smashed into their vehicles and all attention was on them I then managed to get away unnoticed it was amusing but I couldn't help but feel bad.

I dislike their surrealism. The cops in GTA IV were more fun to deal with in fact, I'd love to have the police AI from Driv3r.

 

Cops: (WHILE SHOOTING AT YOU) "Police! Do not move! You are under arrest!"

They had a similar system in RDR where you were allowed to surrender in single player just like gta iv but in multiplayer they're all shoot to kill which kind of sucks I guess because I was hoping that they would have added that option to RDR or Gta iv at a later point. Although I'm sure a small amount of people would actually want to surrender in online but I too am disappointed that it wasn't a feature.

The cops can be used as a distraction. I love going into calling the police on griefers. You can also use them to troll people just get a wanted level and get into someones unattended PV.

^^ Wrong thread? @NikkoCharger do you mind explaining just how getting into someones unattended pv gets them a wanted level? I don't mean in detail, just what actually happens to them.

I really hate that they just shoot you! No matter what amount of stars or anything, they just shoot. I've never been 'busted' once in this game, SP or online. I just wish we could talk it out before they start ripping shots at me.

I don't like that you can't have a lobby with out them. I know you can go into a death match, but i want the option of having a lobby where people can just kill each other. I would be fine with no stores or armored or simeon cars happening in it. Just all out fighting in the city. I also don't like that their cars don't have bullet proof tires, and the number one things i hate about the cops in gta online, well it's maybe not about the cops, but the game engine or options. When i'm going up against another player and my gun auto aims on the cop and i get killed by the other player. That annoys me so much. I want an option to aim at players first.

I simply love the fact after they insult me and shotgun me in the face for giving them a small tap with my infernus. They make my day even more by taking my cars bullet ridden corpse to sit in their lot 100 miles away

I hate how they continue to auto-spawn in front of you if you drive in a straight line but do not when you zig zag through streets.

That any car they get in is instantly rocket fast

 

Exactly! There Civilian Counterparts are Sedans, like the Stainer. And I don't know about Real-Life Cop Cars but the engine in them have to be Stock, and yet still it can out run a damn Jester.

Los Santos needs more donut stores!!! All of the patrol cars are actually available instead of sitting on their a*ses drinking coffee.

The way it is IMPOSSIBLE to outrun them, as soon as you get far away from the cops behind you they despawn and more respawn in front of you.

It's the worst with the helicopters spawning looking right at you even if you are in a helicopter or jet miles in the air, I mean helicopters take some time to deploy and fly to you IRL, they can't just teleport -.-

 

They way all the cops have a phobia of tunnels is pretty stupid too, but I should be thankful I guess since even if you have 5 stars you can just go into a tunnel and they will all be dumbfounded

There are a few things I think are just flat out broken with the police.

 

-The fact that their squad cars can keep up with you no matter how fast you go.

-But that doesn't matter since they will magically spawn in front of you anyway.

-Unrealistic helicopter gunner accuracy, I understand the vehicle getting shot up but if I'm flying the Lazer and just so happen to fly near a police chopper I find myself taking damage, this should not be.

-I do not much care for this whole shoot first yell your under arrest later business.

-Having the sheer audacity to drive by a police station on your way back home and getting a wanted level is ridiculous.

 

My stance on the police well the AI altogether is that if the player cannot do it the AI should not be able to do it. Granting them unnatural superhuman characteristics is just a cheap way to make a game challenging.

@Op

I guess you never noticed if someone with stars gets in your car, you get the stars too

Aiding and abetting..:p

depending on my mood.

I just love seeing them mindlessly try to blast into me while I'm driving left and right. but the most annoying thing gotta be the helis. I mean, I'm in a damn Lazer. how could their bullets hit me?

@ Malibu454, thanks for pointing that out. On another note the police AI is broken in a sense(Not really game breaking flaws just a lot of annoying ones), but some of its flaws are just so stupid its funny and others are just unfair. It could do with a lot of tweaks as mentioned countless times but some people might actually be happy with the police AI at the moment. Maybe they should just bring back the option of police free lobbies as they did in IV(That may be asking for too much). I mean the in game media and people try and explain that the LSPD is corrupt etc. But its not really a reason for them to teleport or be unrealistically accurate at shooting form heli's and some other flaws mentioned above.

How unrealistic they are, smashing into you wrecking other cars and killing civilians trying to kill you just for robbing a car, yes its a game but the cops are so over the top its really annoying and no fun, just their overeaction to everything you do. Stand next to them for long enough they point their gun at you, hit somebody at the top of Chilliad cops appear in seconds. Rob a store and get 4 stars, seriously Rockstar? I like nothing about the cops.

For me its the constant spawning infront of me when ive gone like 10-12 blocks undetected then as the wanted time is about worn down a random cop about a half a mile to a mile away from the scene of the crime just randomly happens upon me. Then i absolutely hate when youre running away for fun just for the chase its gone on about 5 mins or so and the game starts using pedestrian vehicles to attack you. They drive across the the double bars and ram you spawn sideways on the road and if it still doesnt get you they will spawn in nonmoving clusters blocking the entire street. As far as shooting accuracy goes i get much more annoyed by enemy crew vehicles and their 90% accuracy rate at 100 mph.

Grangers are the bane of my existance. They ram into you at high speeds, forcing you into walls and other police cars only to gun you down once you're pinned. One time I was in a 4 star chase trying to make it to my Rhino in the police station by Vespucci bay, when a Granger comes out of the blue and smashes into my Adder. After that, my Adder barrel rolls to the left and goes over the railing into the water, where the mavericks proceed to end me off.

 

-12.5 K all because of the LSPD...
