I don't understand why the aim prioritises cops over other players

[Adeel007]

Cops are not even after me and a player is trying to kill me but the stupid auto aim locks onto the cops getting me killed.

Why haven't R* fixed this.

Simple fix: Add an option that lets us prioritise aim like we do with friends.

Free aim or get gud.

 

Just knocking out those two responses for you op.

Rockstar has shares in all the big flat-screen manufacturers and controller makers.

I would love to play free aim but the lobbies are always dead.

[Cripto136]

And the one time you actually try aiming for the cops but instead aims for friendly players.

[CommercialPilot]

Killem all and keep movin.

Not sure why people still... years later. Keep claiming that the lobbies are always dead. They are not.. I play in packed free aim lobbies every day since release.

 

But the other.. get gud is another option.

 

 

You simply cannot have a 1 vs 1 shoot out on the streets like a death match in free roam without cops getting involved. You need to keep moving and pick your spots to shoot. Or die by cops... or in your case target cops. Just..get away from them.

 

Using a weaking auto aim helps in AA. Less clingy and snappy.

[am30]

Should be an additional setting to prioritise players over NPC's.

Free aim on GTA is horrible and utterly pointless. I'd consider it if it felt closer to how Destiny plays but it's just far too clunky.

 

Besides, it's just full of jets and RPG enthusiasts (even more than AA is).

Haha. Throws controller through flatscreen.

[Arrows to Athens]

Yep, even regular pedestrians that are simply minding their own business. The aim mechanics in this game are horse manure anyway.

Dude is shooting at me

I shoot at him

cops start shooting at me

aim directly at dude who was first shooting at me

do a 180 and autoaim to the f*cking cops

get blasted by cops and dude who have me surrounded

 

 

f*ck the police

[Jenkiiii]

Why is this even a thread? The OP is complaining that the computer decides who to kill for them when they have selected the please 'assist' me option. Groan. So you don't want the computer to help you and potentially cock it up? Then turn 'assisted' off.

I sort of fixed what you posted to actually make sense of the real issue.

 

 

It really is two problems..

 

1.) Staying in an area with cops present

 

2.) Relying on auto aim

Not everyone is going to play by your aim preference. That's what the majority of the players play on, so deal with it.

 

And for the cops, well, they follow you around on foot and come in groups with their cruisers and grangers.

I am dealing with it. Im not the one complaining about auto aim not targeting who i want.. when i want. Even when im playing in AA myself, i deal with it because AA is AA.

 

Im not even debating or arguing about aim preference either. Just stating the obvious here.

 

And the COPS. Will always show up. You have to keep moving..this is just basic free roam skills here. if you just waddle around the block shooting at the player the cops will hunt you down. Free roam is not a death match, the cops are proof of that. Cops can't kill what they can't catch or see.. If players chose to stay around cops and shoot, thats their problem.

Killing is on by default, so obviously people will treat it like deathmatch, especially when you've got a vast collection of lethal weaponary and vehicles. If I'm trying to kill another player, they will have the cops on them, so they will get in the way of course.

 

The locking onto cops and NPCs issue can easily be solved by adding a priority that only prioritises players and not cops or NPCs. They did that with the friends didn't they?

[nWo_Y2J_2015]

The point isn't whether Free Aim is better than Assisted Aim, it's that Assisted Aim targeting needs to be fixed. There is the 'Targeting Priority' option in the Interaction Menu, so why not separate some of the options to include whether or not you aim at NPC/Cops?

Some people can't grasp that basic solution. And what's the difference between Traditional GTA and Assisted Aim anyway?

Or you can simply take my advice at face value and deal with it.. Just like you told me.

 

You choose to use AA. Then deal with it when it targets 'threats' near you.

 

You choose to shoot at players in free roam.. deal with the cops.

 

Seriously... nothings stopping you from moving to spot where you have an advantage.. Or from losing the cops.. Or picking where the battle ensues. Where AA is useful instead of a problem.

 

But.. If you rely on AA and spam the sh*t out of AA. And fail to pick a good spot to engage in combat. AA and the cops are gonna give you a problem regardless of what it targets 1st. It can't read your mind.

 

If you want things done right... Do it yourself. That holds true with aim choice too. ANd even in AA, you can choose to NOT to auto aim by NOT holding lock on.

I clearly said that Rockstar can easily add a cops and NPCs priority option in the priority section in the interaction menu.

Two auto aimers rolling around. with cops present...complaining that AA is not aiming where they want, when they want really is pretty funny.

 

 

But like i said.. Be smarter about where you choose to shoot. AA becomes less snappy because of less targets. OR simply don't press lock on..

You ignored my point once again.

 

For the last time, Rockstar added a priority for friends, since players complained about accidentally locking onto friends instead of the enemy, so they added that to solve the issue. From looking at that, we can say that it would be completely logical and correct for them to add a priority for cops and NPCs, since it is a issue that many players complain about. I'm assuming you don't play on auto-aim, so why do you care?

[M.K.N.]

Free aim is just as broken as assisted aim, because enemies still have superior and god-like aim and its not a matter of getting better, its R* that needs to show level of competence when it comes to having AI with ridiculous aim, who seem to never miss their shots.

Not too sure about terminator aim. Every time I want them to kill me so I can respawn with full health, they literally stand next to me and miss every shot with their pistol

 

anyway, I think they should implement an aim priority setting, seeing as they have made PVP styled activities for free roam
