Exactly why hasn't the crouch ability been added yet?

[Member's Only]

Aren't you crouching anyway when you use stealth mode?

Your name fits your response perfectly and I mean that as a compliment.

[CarimboHanky]

in the early days i had hopes things would change and they would add this with a patch... close to 3 years later, all hopes are gone!

 

guess we would have to wait til VI!

[Setzaroth]

Hopefully stealth is a factor in future games where they can actually program A.I. to have more reactions than: "Oh you went within 50 feet on an enemy, combat engaged with 99% accuracy!"

 

It really feels like I'm playing a PS1 game in that regard. I mean, how many times have we hit a SWAT van going 150mph, spun it out, only to have your health chipped away rather quickly by the robotic aim of the side passengers? All you can do is laugh at how outdated and goofy the engine is.

 

 

More on topic, as far as GTAV goes, I don't see what adding the ability to crouch would really do. There's no scope sway to compensate for. Gun accuracy wouldn't really be effected, as has been stated stealth is meaningless.....Why do you want it again?

We can kill eachother, troll, harrasse, and be an all around dick to eachother, but being able to teabag is where R* draws the line...

There is already a crouching feature in this game. (R* disabled it though)

 

You need to find gameconfig.xml and change it to "true" while setting it to "false" for stealth mode (It only works for PC version)

Because the crouching in-game doesn't function fine and works like ass.

 

We have a cover system, we have this "stealth" crap. We have enough.

teabaggin and destroying other player cars are a huge no-no

Not bitching or moaning, but do you think we should be allowed to crouch in GTA V? (I'm talking both MP and SP)

The thing is, it's literally in the game files and can be easily used on the PC version - matter of fact, many NPC's do it.

The reality is, the stealth feature (which basically replaced crouching), apart from in some SP story missions, is f*cking useless. Why exactly did it replace crouching?

 

No, I'm not talking about crouching from the cover, by the way, I'm talking about being able to crouch freely even if you're not behind anything or anyone.

Stealth mode in online is NOT useless. There are a few contact missions where you can go stealth and stealth kill enemies without alerting the others. It is pretty much required for some heist setups like Humane Labs - Deliver EMP.

 

In deathmatches, it lessens the probability of your dot showing up on the map. If you use this technique, you can get in some sneak in from behind and stealth kill 'em kind of kills.

 

In free mode, you can use off the radar and stealth mode to sneak up behind another player. They are less likely to hear you if you are in stealth mode.

 

I'm not sure what crouching is going to do for you, other than lessen the probability of getting hit. You can use cover and combat rolls instead.

 

You dont need stealth for humane labs...

[Sky_Light12]

as far i've know , during development , GTA V were actually made out of GTA IV ( hence why leftovers such as same radar )

if the crouching feature were reinstated , the same automatic glitch would also returned ( by repeatedly crouch , semi-auto weapons become fully automatic )

[jdwarfer]

I never use the stealth stance. I don't see any interest about it. My stealth ability is very low and I don't care. It doesn't affect my results in missions at all.

If at least the game would take the sound volume into account, it would be usefull, but it doesn't, apparently. That's crap. There's no good stealth thing in that game.

But quite often I want to crouch, as a reflex, like in other games. It comes naturally you know... but then I remember I can't XD.

I know. But this is something that should be doable without modding at the first place.

Infinity kudos to you. Edited January 18, 2016 by lol232

[Biggie Kaniff]

yes we need crouching.

 

they did add the point action (which is useless) and there is loads of actions to do via the interaction menu.

 

so why not add such a basic thing as crouching? its so stupid that it wasnt in the game from the beginning. a shooting game where you cant crouch? really?

 

maybe if we raise our voices R* will add it. they obvously can do it. lets not stay quiet about this. E-mail them, write on their support site, do everything.

[EkaSwede]

In GTA San Andreas Crouch doubles as stealth mode.

 

I suppose it being two things was too complicated and complex for new players...

Stealth was only active on that cargo ship mission? It was like the Manhunt guys worked on just that mission for GTASA.

[am30]

Not really a necessary feature.

[Fidel Cashflow]

??? Wtf do you mean not necessary? So double clicking the right analog stick to point is more necessary than crouching? Good god.

[MaddenedGhost]

Sooo stealth is useless but crouching is useful? ...

[_PANiC_]

because none of the missions have any dynamic approach options, Its a shame each and every contact mission and Heists cant be done stealth as optional, so things like crouch, prone and silenced weapons would actually be worth while

Some of the contact missions can be done stealth. Artificial Scarcity for one.

Honestly, it's the fact that it sometimes feels like the game acts like stealth mode is more useful than it is. The stealth stat is practically pointless, you'll only use it a handful of times in SP missions and Online missions. There is no real freedom to it. It's not like you can do any mission you want with stealth and get away with it. It's not like it has any real use when you are just roaming the map. It just seems dumb to me that they took out crouching, a feature that was in every main GTA game since Vice City, only to replace with stealth mode, a useless feature.

When a thread starts with not bitching and moaning it basically is that. To be honest? It doesn't even matter to me. Crouch isn't needed.

 

 

Crouch isn't needed?

 

 

Ooooh... it was definitely needed over 3 years ago and still is.. Its useful for taking cover, dodging bullets and hiding just like in any game that involves shooting.

 

 

Anything is better then the nearly useless hump back sneak mode... Which still boggles my mind that R* thought that was a good concept.

Taking cover...

 

As it stands the only way to take cover is to actually run up behind an object and press the 'take cover' button. Which makes you duck behind it, but that sucks because you stick to it and you need to be close to it.

 

Against walls and corners ducking does not matter. You can just strafe along side it. But anything else.. you can't duck behind it without pressing the take cover button that makes you cling to the object and really screws with your mobility.

It's just another of those things the tyrannical Rockstar have removed that used to be in all the old GTAs. If San Andreas and previous GTAs had a crouch, so should this one.

Edited January 18, 2016 by Icantthinkofonew

[Demoz]

I agree dude, they went full retard on that one.

 

Someone at R* must have been on a 12 hr crack binge and just removed it and replaced it with that sh*tty stealth mode feature.

Actually, this is more of a "suggestion" so Rockstar can hear us. Apart from than just saying it isn't needed, can you elaborate a bit more?

 

You should probably try Rockstar's actual forums, then, and not some 3rd party private forum.

What I would do is create a poll here, then email Rockstar a link to that poll/the results of it. Along with the best argument for adding a crouch position that he can come up with.

[REVENGE777]

The current stealth mode along with the cover mode are dumpster water... If they added crouch, atleast we wpuld be able to dynamically cover.

[Bolatsi]

Yes I like Crouch

 

[Arrows to Athens]

 

If they do add it, it better not improve accuracy, just like it did in IV.

 

Uhh yes it should?

 

So people would constantly crouch just so they can kill quicker?

 

Roll, crouch, roll, crouch, roll, crouch...
