We really need a Hardcore Free Mode


Red DEAD

Recommended Posts

Hardcore would be identical to the Normal Free Mode sessions in every way, except that only Free Aim targeting is allowed, and other players' blips only appear on the radar when they sprint, fire their weapon, respawn (would only show for 5 seconds) drive/fly a vehicle. In addition, the names which appear above players' heads during gameplay now only appear when targeting them (excluding your crew members).

 

A lot of people want a Hardcore Free Mode.

 

Hell, how about some extra RP (not a crazy amount) when in Free Aim when completing Gang Attacks, and such...

 

Did I mention PASSIVE MODE WOULD BE REMOVED in Hardcore Free Mode sessions?

To me hardcore would be no cops, everyone has same health and access to all weapons. Simple.

Can everyone stop complaining about Lobbies please.

 

- As there is no "Host" we will NEVER get Lobby Options we can change ourselves.

 

- R* have provided Invite Only and Closed Friend's Session for the very reason that you can specifically play with like-minded people however you choose.

 

As an aside, the Double Standards of people wanting "Friendly Lobbies" and continually shooting down "Hardcore Lobbies" amazes me. You are basically saying you want Freedom of Choice in Lobbies, provided the choice is the one you want.

For free roam, I think this part would require too much usage of pausing the game to check the map to see other players' location. It'd be better if everyone was on the radar, but if they were within a certain distance of one another, Then what you said goes into effect.

 

I think anyone for hardcore sessions of any game mode type (free roam, missions, whatver) should e-mail rockstar about it. I already have. But on the flip side, I don't think many people would play in them. A lot of people actually aren't in free roam to fight, and for the ones who are, this would likely be too challenging for most of them.

I dont really want anything to change aside from removing the blips from the map, i could have hours of fun skydiving down to the rooftop of a high-rise building and setting up as a sniper but the blips make any such activity a waste of time.

problem is that players will be separated even further. We already have Free-Aim, Auto-Aim, Assisted-Aim, Bad sport Auto, Bad sport Free, Bad Sport Assisted, Cheater Auto, Cheater Free, Cheater Assisted, and Private lobbies. This is why most lobbies aren't full. We don't need to add more lobbies. But I do like the concept. But I'd rather play with at least 20 most of the time instead of just 7.

No -_-

 

For all intensive purposes, isn't that just one large Free Aim DM?

 

Smh, if so, then again, No, we don't need it, cause it alredy exists mostly.

No Map, No Radar, No GT's. Nothing on the screen. No passive mode, leave cops on.

 

Free aim would have to be fixed first. It truly is horrible in this game especially compared to MP3.

That would mean more lobbies, right?

Why not? IV had more lobbies, RDR had more lobbies, Max Payne 3 had more lobbies... Why can't GTA Online? Be it if you are an Auto-Aim player or a Free Aim player than it should cater each players' different play styles.

Couldn't people just say that was the case for every Free Mode then? The current Free Mode could even be called one large DM then so therefore IT DOES EXSIST. Edited by Red DEAD

You would spend hours just trying to find any other player. I think you're forgetting just how massive this map is.

We need a no HUD lobby.

 

I know you can turn off HUD personally but I want a lobby where everyones HUD is permanently off. It would benefit people who like roleplaying as cops or private investigators, etc. (ME!)

The map really isn't that "massive" in my opinion... San Andreas was more impressive due to multiple cities. No need to get your feelings hurt if "I" don't see it that way.

Actually, yeah most of you are right... I apologize.

 

*Goes back to playing Red Dead Redemption*

 

(Rockstar's BEST game that dropped on the PS3/Xbox 360)

 

Don't worry guys the next Red Dead game will be upon us while most of you are still playing GTA "BROKEN" Online and you'll be missing out. :D

 

Doesn't it bother any of you that GTA Online just keeps getting worse and worse after each patch/update? (IF IT'S NOT BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!) IV Multiplayer will always be superior compared to GTA Online because of customs lobbies and of course Cops 'n Crooks.

The GTA V map is much bigger than any previous Map.

 

GTA SA felt bigger to me when playing it compared to GTA V, however this perception is mostly due to differences in Vehicle, Airplane etc speeds (Vehicles are faster now).

Uh, I'm not sure I understand Whatchu mean by "every free mode." There is only one free mode, so I don't get what you are referring to when you say "every."

 

The current free mode could be called one large DM, but that's ultimately an opinion. It could also be called one big car meet. Orrr one big robbery mission. That VERY subjective. But at any rate, There are fundamental differences between a DM and freemode, that clearly define the two. DMs basically put restrictions on an instanced activity in order to tailor it to the goals of the activity.

 

Pretty much ALL of what you list are some of the EXACT SAME details that makes a DM what it "is" in the first place.

-aim setting

-temporarily visible blips

-player names visible upon targeting/ when in line of sight

 

So unless you can distinguish an Important difference between this "hardcore lobby" and the pre-existing DMs with specific settings.... All you are really asking for is a large DM.

 

And I'm sure that's what rockstar might say if they saw it. Before they can just go adding anything to the game, they would have to see how it's significantly different from what's alredy available.

 

The current Free Mode could even be called one large DM then so therefore IT DOES EXSIST.

If by that logic you also believe it alredy exists, theN why are you asking for it? Unless you are being sarcastic right there.

"I think its terrible to disregard a string of words because it isn't the "traditional phrase". Why is "for all intensive purposes" not valid then? Intensive confers that those purposes be honed, thought out vigorously and thoroughly in a short amount of time, whereas "for all intents and purposes" conveys a lackadaisical determination or perhaps a conclusion/outcome by a suspension. One gives the sense of force, a process with the final conception of quick thought or and the other seems merely the passive or slashod determination of something through nondescript series of events as contrary to its nature almost with a feeling of irony."

 

Guy has an interesting point.

 

Thanks for addressing my post, while at the same time not addressing the important part of my post as well. :^:

Your idea is bad and you should feel bad. GTA is already tryhard central with the multitude of arguments of free aim vs assisted aim and passive vs no massive players. We don't need hardcore vs core either.

By this math there would be only about 63 players online at one time. There are probably more than that. :p
