Why is capture almost dead?

[Zneral]

It turns into a deathmatch with no one capturing, that's why

[EvilFiend]

because this is GTA not an FPS game

For anyone that would like to try a decent one. That Zombie Clown one that recently got verified is actually kinda cool. Just get enough people to make it interesting.

 

Make it at night, forced weapons.

Capture has potential. Unfortunately 95% of the ppl in the lobby treat it like a DM. So only 1 or 2 ppl actually try to do the objective. This leads either being long and tedious, or just a camp fest. Perhaps having a set # of lives per person could help?

Personally i love lts capture and verses missions. You only need about 6 ppl to enjoy these modes. I think most dont play them because of payouts and not giving different modes a chance (hence all the 'im bored with gtao threads).

 

just my $0.02..

I've tried to join capture over the past couple of days but the best lobby I ever got out of it was 2 players on each team with people leaving throughout the game. Most quick joins end up with empty lobbies.

 

Anyway, I'm wondering, why are these game types so neglected in GTAO? Is it because deathmatch is better, or maybe they're just plain boring and the payout is measly?

 

In my opinion capture game modes don't offer enough objective incentive whereby players that capture or defend the objective by giving those players an extra $1000-$2000 at the end of the game weather they win or lose. Also, there's not enough interesting buildings like the intricate insides of a building where you have to run up and down stairs, break glass windows and jump from rooftops.

 

What are your guys' opinion on the state of capture? Can it be improved by R* in the future or is it a lost hope like the possibility of heists coming out?

 

What platform are you on?

 

On Xbox One, just about every game type except missions is dead.

R* should do a Double RP & Cash event for captures. It might gain some interest. I enjoy a good capture, but mostly play crew created ones as Rockstar captures are complete junk.

I believe capture is a great game mode, and has plenty of potential in GTA. It just suffers from it being overlooked by most players. As well as bad matchmaking. Rockstar should do a better job of promoting LTS and Capture, such as weekly playlists with cash incentives, special clothing or whatever else motivates people to go all willy nilly on GTA. It would be great.

Because if you play with people who understand basic game strategy, the first team to score a point wins.

 

Capture one and defend...

This thread inspired me to create a capture job. It's in the college and pretty fun.

 

I think the mode has potential, just like a lot of things in gta. I wish you could hide the player blips.
