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

[.Vooodu.]

 

 

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.

I have no idea what are you talking about. You aim at what you want, Rockstar has nothing to do with it. If you prioritize cops then you can only blame yourself. It's really not hard at all to see who is a player and who is a cop.

 

The only way this makes any sense at all is if you play Free Aim and have never even heard of the Auto-Aim setting...

 

 

 

But.. you can easily manually aim in AA. Even i play ALOT in AA. There are moments when AA will not be useful due to so many targets when you are focusing on a single target. Thats when manual aim is useful. If players NEVER choose to use manual aim even when its the better option at certain moments.. then its sort of their fault not the AA that they rely on.

 

Or just keep moving....

 

 

Moving is the main course of action if your AA is on overload. You can easily MOVE to a better location where your AA is more funneled and targeting is much smoother.

 

There seems to be this mindset that has infected alot of players in GTA> Where they feel the need to whip it out, in the middle of the road, with cops everywhere and shoot ( And then their mind goes blank) They don't think any further then that, then complain about cops OR what their AA is shooting at.

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

Haha. Throws controller through flatscreen.

 

'Throws flatscreen through controller'

[8up local]

one thing i see not being brought up is that maybe, just maybe rockstar intended for us players to possibly "work together" in these situations, but quite frankly with the "mind set" of players today i figure it never even occurs to them.

 

now like i have always said since i joined this forum, if someone wants to run around in free roam shooting it out with other players then dealing with the cops is what they have to put up with, so stop complaining about it. if people want to shoot it out with other people without the cops interfering then there are game modes just for that. there is no reason to lay blame on things just because people are too lazy to use the features that are given to us.

This isn't about the merits of auto-aim or free-aim and which is better (reality is, neither is better or worse - it's down to the choice of each and every individual. To argue otherwise is the sign of a true idiot).

 

It's about the game targeting NPC's over the person who is trying to kill you. Clearly, this is only an issue in auto-aim so frankly, the free-aim pseudo-elitists can either shut up, bugger off or say something constructive.

 

On topic, as has been said already, we need a targeting priority NPC v's Player option added.

 

 

You need? You neeeeed?

 

No... you need to learn when to use AA correctly when too many targets are around. This holds true no matter when and where you use AA.

 

Even in survival. You can't really FORCE AA to aim at the target you want, IF to many targets are around. You basically just start snapping around.

 

 

Theres NO elitist BULLsh*t being posted. Just telling it how it is.

 

 

Manual aim is simply a part of GTA, even in PURE auto aim. If you can't spend a second to manually aim because so many targets are around. Then deal with the lock on having a mind of its own. Thats when AA becomes a problem, when you have to many targets and can't focus on ONE and that holds true in all games with AA..

 

 

You need to either stop trolling and contribute constructively. You play free-aim and constantly berate anyone who doesn't. You have no frame of reference here.

 

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. When the game makes you spin round 180 degrees away from your intended target, there is not much you can do. Of course there is time to flick the right stick between targets, no one is saying there is not, but when the game has a mind-fart, it totally screws you. Now no doubt you'll think you know better than everyone else. Fact is, you don't.

 

Now, I'm telling you how it is.

I still play in AA and have used AA in GTA games for years... i know full well what im talking about. You just hate free aim for some reason and scoff any any sort of logic involved when manual aim comes up. Even tho its an option that makes sense when TOO MANY TARGETS have your AA on over load.

 

 

And i don't berate anyone that doesn't ask for it regardless of the topic, i don't shoot 1st.. This is not even about FREE AIM. Not even a aim debate. The option to use manual aim in AA simply exists for a reason.. Use it.

WRONG. And its so wrong its funny.

 

 

I never start anything. I don't even make topics about FA or AA. Im the guy who comes into topics and tells everyone talking sh*t about FA that never play FA to STFU. Seriously.. thats my style. If you chose argue after, im game and il go all night long.

 

And even in this topic. No once did i bring up FA like its some sort of eltist MUST way to play type of thing. You did..and guess what. Now you're arguing about it with me.

 

But the reailty is. What i posted in this TOPIC is 100% spot on. If AA is on overload MOVE locations or manually aim. This not a AIM DEBATE. I could careless at this point what you use. And you know full well im right.

 

If you cant be bothered to aim manually, then deal with spazzy lock on when you hammer the AA button when to many targets are present. Don't blame R* or me.

And this is exactly why I and many others use the suicide option. You're forced to do it unless you want to give your foe the opportunity to shoot you in the back while you're fighting the cops.

 

 

FORCED to do it?

 

 

Funny.. i always avoid the cops by simply moving around. I never suicide.

 

 

I know.. moving is complicated. So many choices... theres left, right.. up.. down and vehicles to use.

 

Its just much easier to sit there infront of 20 cops and shoot at a player and then kill yourself every 5 seconds. That is a the gold standard, its what GTA is all about... LOL

 

 

I don't kill myself every 5 seconds. But I also don't want my opponent to get an easy kill while my aim is forced on cops. You're a hypocrite if you call that a fair fight. Anyway, the suicide option is there and people are free to use it.

[ThiagoBass]

The solution is simple. Take off those sh*t cops from GTA online. They dont help in anything.

lmfao, just why do you think they should "help"? imo they help keep free roam from becoming even more of a war zone than it already is. if people want to have fights or wars without the cops then quit being lazy and use the features that are given to us. to me it makes no sense to bitch and moan about the cops in free roam when there are already ways to battle without the cops butting in.

Because cops are terminators

Theres no such thing as a fair fight in free roam. Unless two people agree to meet somewhere and slug it out. Free roam is about survival.

 

I never use suicide... I don't have too. Il move. Seriously..thats why i bring a crotch rocket with me all the time, im outta there. Im not sticking around, even on foot im running. If i want to play shooter il go play a death match where there is actually a point and its actually meant to be a fair battle.`

 

I've got better things to do then shoot myself in the face every second because im too stubborn to move... while im trying to kill one player in a feeding frenzy of cops in free roam. Il pace myself. Il keep moving and get as many kills as i can while not taking the easy way out. You know.. the way its meant to be done.

Or just don't use the Left Trigger. Just moving and shooting while using LT as mildly as possible helps a great deal. Even using the weaker AA option because its easy to un-snap and aim with. The more snappy the AA, the harder it becomes to aim with when aiming counts.

Suicide is a bitch way of playing... Thats why I DON"T USE IT... And openly mock people who do.. How you confuse that with whinning is beyond me.

 

 

As if im gonna blow my brains out. . No player i've met is even worth a single suicide ever. Id rather die by cops or the player then off myself.

 

Its just a Basic GTA mindset here. Im not some COD wanker trying to have a shoot out in free roam crying about cops and fair fights. Its not COD.,, Doing crime and avoiding cops is just part of playing GTA

 

 

 

I could give a rats ass about getting kills.. Im simply not entertained by their feeble attempts to kill me with no style or thought what so ever. Waste of f*ckin time and a lobby spot.

You just said you love suicide drama queens before. Plus, you just said there is no fair way of fighting in free roam, so people should be entitled to play in whatever play style, and that includes taking the easy way out whenever they see tiny drop in health. So why complain and mock them if there is no 'fair' way of playing? If there is no such thing as a fair fight in FREE roam, everything goes and you shouldn't be whining about their tactics, yet you insist on doing so.

''Play style?

This forum is funny. Play style my ass

The suicide spam problem in this game is beyond retarded. Its pathetic..

On a daily basis i see suicide drama queens killing themselves NON STOP just because they could NOT kill me with their 1st shot.

So the real question is, why the f*ck do the keep shooting at ME?

99% of the time THEY attack 1st. It has nothing to do with anything other then "They want to get kills and avoid getting killed by players"

And the reality is.. I just laugh at them because its funny that they can't actually fight worth a sh*t; Free roam combat is about survival not getting kills.

And nothing is funnier then TWO suicide drama queens shooting a few shots at each other then using suicide. Holy f*ckin sh*t that is a sight to see. So much BITCH..so little fight.''

If that's not bitching and complaining, then I don't know what is.

In that quote, you stated that ''Free roam is about survival, not getting kills'', which is in itself kind of flawed, mainly because of two things: One, you have a vast collection of lethal weaponry that are given to you, and two, killing is on by default. Also, how are you supposed to survive without getting kills? And why are you so pissed about people killing themselves if you don't care about getting kills? Move on...
