Co-op ideas for FM

[giraffeboy]

Ok, so there's a lot of threads with people complaining about how FM is just mindless rampage and that there's nothing to do apart from killing each other, and then you get rebuttals from people saying there's loads to do, just need to use your imagination. So in this thread I'd like to come up with ideas of how to actually reward people for playing cooperatively. It'd be good if we came up with stuff that doesn't take much coding and preferably uses elements that are already in the game (so things like gambling together in the casino, however nice it would be, isn't really viable as it requires a whole new interior to be built). So to start:

 

Coop FM Skydiving:

Players are awarded RP for skydiving together, to expand, you get points for staying in close proximity to each other as you descend (multiplying for each additional person, ie try and get 10 of you together for a massive bonus), how close together you pull the cord, you could do things like set a waypoint before you jump and try and both hit it perfectly with no bonus if one fails etc. Ripcord chicken, where you and a friend see who can pull the cord last and survive, winner gets a nice RP bonus with more awarded the closer you are to the ground.

 

Armored Truck Convoys:

I started a post about heists with armored trucks as an example of one, but there could be armored truck convoys in FM, too tough to take on alone so you'd need to team up. 4 trucks defended by 6 cop cars, with a 5 star level for attacking. There's $100k in bullion in each truck but you gotta survive and lose those stars to keep it.

 

GTA in 60 seconds:

Simeon texts you, but instead of one car, he needs 20. And he needs them all within 24 ingame hours (48 mins). Deliver them all on time for $500k, but you'll need serious help to get it done. Whoever delivers the cars gets a cut so you'll need to work together to deliver them and fight off any players who might wanna spoil the fun.

 

Picture tagging:

The game already puts a name above each player, so it wouldn't be hard to incorporate tagging in snapmatics like on facebook, You get RP multiplied for each player in the frame, could even "sell" the pictures for cash by publishing them. This could encourage all sorts of group meets like car shows etc, you could incorporate this into the skydiving idea above for example and have a cameraman snapping the whole thing for his own bonuses.

 

Synchronised Stunt Jumping:

Probably would work best for bikes, but you'd get rewarded with cash/RP for doing stunt jumps together (multiplies per player), all need to land it to succeed obviously. How cool would 10 people all taking on the airport sign together be?

 

 

So yeah, any other ideas? People come up with loads of things to do in FM, how could we be rewarded for it so there's an incentive? The game also keeps track of loads of stats, there could be a lot of ideas incorporating those somehow.

i prefer something as simple as growing pot on a farm perhaps fending off players who would try and steal your crop and so on.

i also would like the spray can to come back and have people free draw around town.

that may cut down on the hostility.. of course theres that one guy...

Gta in 60 seconds would equal me calling for my tank and driving it to Simeon's.

[giraffeboy]

Haha yeah guess I never thought of that, would be some epic rage if you'd got 19/20, 2 mins to go and then a tank rolls in......

There are tons of things to do in freemode...but like many have said there are no real rewards in freemode. Until there are more things that reward cooperation rather than the endless destruction that we face everyday, nothing will change.

and that's the point of this thread, ideas of how to reward the activities you already get up to and maybe come up with others. Yeah it may be pointless but I prefer to think of how things could be rather than complain about how they are

Skydiving as in tbogt would be cool, where you just instantly teleport to the roof of a building

 

for co-op stuff i'd like train heists

 

Player 1 drives a pickup truck with crew mates in the back

 

Player 2+3 jumps aboard the train in some mission impossible like animation and robs the goods off the train

 

Packer heist

Bit the same as the train heist. 6 cars on the packer (low-end supers or upgraded sports,muscles)

And you have to steal at least 3 cars and bring them to a drop-off. There you will be voting if you want to sell the car or keep it, if you want to keep it,you gotta pay a fee to your team mates so they still make profit

 

Casino, we all want this, no explination needed.

 

 

(Invite only option)

 

This is only available in an invite only lobby.

You and your friends can own stores (ammu-nations, car dealerships) where you get money from every in-game day, income depending on how well you control your businesses (defending from robberies etc.) Togheter with your friends you can build up the city and become millionaires...or just bring down the system and cause riots everywhere through the city!

All the moves you and your friends make, will have an influence on the daily routine of LS for example : robbing a train wagon or truck filled with egochasers will end up in all stores having no egochasers for an ingame week (just a dumb example but i think you'll understand what im trying to say

 

Yes i have alot of fantasy ideas...
