What would a Los Santos without cops be like?

[manitouscott]

It would be like floating on a sea full of titties.

[Cavot]

A f*cking dream, that's what it would be.

[CarimboHanky]

 

people that are against copfree lobbies obviously didnt play IV...

 

there we had cop off option and it was great!

Get over it. IVs MP was a piece of sh*t. It was a singleplayer game with crappy MP features. Just horrible from todays point of view.

[LordRaijin]

 

I'm not that type of guy who loves gunfights or engages in them every chance they get. Cops are involved because you shoot other players then they come in packs and take away your health, eventually killing you and impounding your car. The game will also lock on to them instead of the player in front of you. I'm aware it's part of the game but a no cops option existed in IV and was the most preferred option in free mode.

 

 

A no cop option? I haven't played IV yet but IMO that is just a horrible and terrible option that Rockstar put out. Lack of consequences results in a sh*tty game IMO. No wonder people are whining and complaining about it... their use to the unrealistic approach.

 

People play too much of Call of duty, and then expect games like GTA to have the same kind of system, and it doesn't happen that way.

 

If you don't want the police pursuing you don't shoot other NPCS and don't shoot other players.

[Chamber53DV]

I don't see how this could be a bad thing in any way. What do you think?

Much of the same. They're already doing a sh*tty job at stoping crime.

 

It would be nice if they programmed cops to identify and "book" all modded accounts.

If only the cops were even a microscopic disincentive to the assholes....but they aren't.

 

Seriously, to the OP's question, "What would a Los Santos without cops be like?" I was going to answer, "It would be just exactly like free-roam is today. It can't get any worse."

How about if there was an OPTION in PRIVATE LOBBIES to have the cops only care about crimes against pedestrians and their property?

 

Blow up another player? Fine.

 

Beat a grandma with a bat? 1 Star

[JohnDoe7125539271]

 

You act like the presence of cops prevents players from committing in crimes a virtual video game called 'Grand Theft Auto'. Even if there were no cops players will still kill each other, fly planes into buildings and steal cars. No cops would mean no superhuman NPCs, no gunfight interference and no running away from cops every minute.

every reason that makes freeroam less atractive to mindless killers is a bonus.....

and to be fair, were pretty superhuman to....my character fall of a 5 meter high roof, get up and take pistol shots to my head from cops without even fainting.

 

 

I fell like 6-7 meters (IRL) and im still here. Landed on my arm, which was broken, could have been worse though, if i landed on the damn bike, less than half a meter near me. However...

 

Topic: I would like to have a option to turn them off, in a private session, but if i had to choose between Cops & no Cops, i would choose the cops. It just wouldn't feel like GTA if you never had cops. Just like a random 3rd person shooter.

[rlr149]

not a true gta anymore and a true deathmatch game

seriously as much as cops can be iritiating when into a fight they are the extra reason for some bloodlusted killers that are not capable to do anything more to go and find a deathmatch instead.

 

i mean, its not like they discriminate.....they atack anyone that does something wrong.....like they shoud

it would be nice if they protected and served occasionally.

tbh, beating grandma's to death deserves 3 stars.

[FFDP999]

No cops?

But who else would ram me off my motorcycle and have it impounded?

[R3CON]

I started playing GTA with III in 2001 and I've played every GTA since then. In my opinion, cops are a fundamental part of Grand Theft Auto. The name itself is a crime. You remove law enforcement from a game about crime and it's honestly kind of pointless.

 

What are we really doing then?

 

Yes it's multiplayer, so theoretically cops could be removed and apparently IV MP had the option, but I'm glad cops are part of V's Online. It's just how it's supposed to be. It can even be fun to battle the cops if you can believe it.

 

I don't understand how people really have issues evading the police or killing the police. If you can't handle the cops then you're honestly not that good of a player. It comes with the territory. Cops kill you when trying to kill another player or rob a car or hit someone. So what? Kill the cops before they kill you and you can still keep your 1v1 going. Maybe you can't shake the heat, again, so what? Let them kill you, lose the stars, gain the full bar of health and keep going. Hell, you can even call Lester and presto change-o, the hail of bullets cease and desist. My car only gets impounded say 5-10% of the time and when it does it's not the end of the world to get it back. Is it inconvenient, yes, but it's completely reasonable.

 

It's not like the cops bust you and take your weapons. Just rise to the occasion.

Those who complain about the police are pretty sh*tty about not being able to lose them. In fact I want my 6 stars back. Bring out the military action!

Not that at all it's the fact you're trying to have a battle and the cops just ruin it.

[gtafan26]

Freemode would be exactly the same, a war zone, just without cops.

[Officer Garza]

No Military please, unrealistic.

[gtafan26]

LOL, out of all the "unrealistic" things in the game, you pick Military

Well, yes, it's the most unrealistic thing in the game.

its not about evading and killing the cops, try having a friendly battle with friends in freeroam and see how difficult it is to enjoy the battle when you have 12 cops and 2 helis constantly spawning on top of you!

Grandma's only worth 1 star?? Sh*t, I get 2 or 3 stars, just for shaking down the 24/7 for 70 bucks and a handful of Ps&Qs.

 

On topic, yes, all of these simple lobby options are sooooo needed. What the f*ck is Rockstar thinking? Oh, that's right, they aren't thinking.

[slimeball supreme]

It'd be cool, I guess. If we are not doing it in special lobbies (like IV, which were great and the best multiplayer in the series #noregrets) than it would be sweet. But as a lore junkie, I cannot stress how important a backstory would be if it were its own special mode.

 

I don't know. I'm silly sometimes.

I either (a) kill the cops before they kill me and then kill whoever I'm battling, (b) kill the player before the cops kill me and then try to fight my way out or © I let the cops kill me and I keep going. No big deal

I got 3 wanted stars because I shot someone to death, from a roof, with a silenced sniper....

Those cops are f*cking annoying when you fight other players online.

I agree I pisses me off when I'm scoped on someone just about to pull the trigger and the cops kill me right before I take the shot

[obsidian_eclipse]

People saying it wouldn't be GTA? Wtf? GTA IV had no police lobbies and they were always popular and filled with chaos.

And no. Playing a deathmatch wont cut it. You cant access your properties or any stores while in a dm so thats a pretty silly solution not to mention you cant see people on the radar.

But IV was so 'good' and you couldn't store vehicles there either. So what's wrong with creating a dm sized map with various vehicles placed about?

 

GTA v is good the way it is. However, as a concession I'd like other types of lobbies so long as people aren't forced to play them. Cops n crooks lobbies. Cop free lobbies. However, certain activities would need disabling (robbing stores for one).

This is a great idea, especially the part about disabling the store robbing.

[mmm chocolate]

60 minute deathmatch. problem solved.

 

why would you need access to your apt anyway? to hide?

 

no blips on the radar = more of a challenge = more fun
