Why no spawn points inside the Airport?

[StormerBoy]

Free Mode would be so much better if there were spawn points inside the airport (ie runway) when you died there. Instead of having to respawn outside the airport.

 

This would in effect create a 'playground' area like we had in GTA IV. Not because it's the airport, but because there is currently no large open/flat area where everyone can congregate.

 

If they did this, you then could get epic f*cking about in helis and blowing sh*t up with RPGs.

 

I have to wonder as well why R* specifically did this? I can understand the logic of not allowing you to respawn inside the military base. But why do they want to prevent us from spending large amounts of time at the airport? No doubt it ties in to how they want the game to be played, and perhaps that indirectly steers us to playing in a way that involves us spending our money, which in turn leads to, well you know...

[JON22]

Because they're boring pricks.

[WavyWeazel]

The airport in GTA 4 was almost always a clusterf*ck in multiplayer. Perhaps they wanted to discourage this from being the case in GTA Online?

Because your not really suppose to be in the airport...

[Killzone3265]

the airport is too bland

no fun jumps, no fun places to hide, no plane to get squished by, no vehicle spawns far out on the runways, no airport vehicles like the little thingy and that big thingy, blah blah

they drained the fun out of it

[CrysisAverted]

Can't wait for next-gen populated airports online

[KornbreadMaf1a]

Because you must first go through security, take off your shoes, and receive a rectal exam before entering the airport

[Delminator]

I spawn from time to time in the airport... Not much to do at the airport tbh.. if you want that open space you were talking about? you can go to Sandy Shores airfield

[gizmonomono]

Leave the airport alone. It's the only place where you can chill, where people don't spawn in sniping distance of you.

But will anyone join me there?

[LL Cool L]

I like it this way, plus you forgetting in gta4 weapons were on the floor to pick up

But that's the point, you get a huge free area to play around. There's really nothing else like it anywhere else on LS.

Just imagine, an airport filled with all kinds of taxiing planes, from the Jet/747 to Shamals to the uncontrollable twinjets to civilian airline-decorated versions of the Miljet... Well, maybe with mods?

yeah its really stupid not having spawnpoint inside the airport.

 

even more stupid is that you cant even make a deathmatch inside the airport to recreate the glory if IVs airport!

the airport in IV is what the main LSC is for gtao... the main gathering point!

But will anyone join me there?Guaranteed! steal a couple cars trying to get a bounty or ask a friend to put a bounty on your head.. as soon as you see a guy incoming put a bounty on his head.. so thats 2 bounties at the airfield.. try to survive a minute or 5 and piss that other guy off so he will stay to kill you over and over.. untill that time it will be crawling with greedy bounty spawn killing son of a bitches sometimes even without a bounty it can be a battlefield over There...

[bangbangyouredead]

It wouldn't work in V. People sniping you the instant you spawn would happen none stop. Like someones already said, in IV you picked up weapons but in V, everyone is over equipped with bombs and Heavy Sniper ammo... meaning you'd be f*cked.

why /thread? because you dont contribute at all? because you say so? gtfo

This is true. I don't even know why this is a question. Hundreds of meters of flat land. Why would that make a good spawnpoint?

Yeah. If you are unlucky it can happen on the beach. I got in a gun battle with two guys and I kept spawning right by the sea and they were by the houses. It got very silly, very quickly and the airport would be far worse.

[MuhNamesTyler]

^ agreed hard on both of these, sniping would be out of control and have fun walking for 5 minutes, you can't even call helicopter pick up cause they won't come in the airport which btw is freaking retarded

[UP9390]

I think they should add spawn points around the perimeter of the airport outside the fence. Make some of the pedestrian fence gates open, and make the vehicle gates always open (I don't want to scratch my car Rockstar from doing the stunt jump!)

[mikkelhansen]

Because I'd have to run for ten minutes to get a vehicle (ie. outside the airport).

[Special Agent 25]

you must be .... this tall to spawn inside the airport.

 

...No seriously probably to stop spawn killing is probably one of the reasons.

the area is too open for gunfight

Remember landing Buzzards on the moving passenger jets in IV? Then get out the chopper and it slides off the back of the plane, floating in mid air? And landing on the rotating radar aerial and being able to get out and walk on the invisible surface?

 

And the stunt jump at the end of the runway onto the little island of cardboard boxes in the water?

 

IV's map was better in many ways.

[Johan]

Guess they wanted to avoid it being like the GTA IV airport, which never bothered me in the first place or anything.. made the game extremely more chaotic and fun

I have to wonder as well why R* specifically did this? I can understand the logic of not allowing you to respawn inside the military base. But why do they want to prevent us from spending large amounts of time at the airport? No doubt it ties in to how they want the game to be played, and perhaps that indirectly steers us to playing in a way that involves us spending our money, which in turn leads to, well you know...

I know what you mean.

That big open area north of LS, that desert area, I think there's a small airstrip nearby. It's just to small.

[SimpleJack_420]

There are a couple of spawn spots in the airport. I myself have spawned on top of the building directly in front of the heli pads and a few other locations in there. Yesterday I killed a guy entering a helicopter because he was coming to get my bounty, and he respawned about 20 yards off the runway.

[xXepicjasaXx]

airport would of been way bette if there was AI there
