Let's talk about the GTAO Train for a moment...

[livejoker]

I honestly thought that this was a joke thread.

There's too much thoughtful posts in here for this to be a joke thread.

OT: Well seeing how trains are gonna cost 40 mill, I want one of those cargo boxes as an apartment, fully furnished with TV, radio and stripper pole. Watch Dogs had some gadget-y hideouts around the city.

While looking for a pic of it, I found that the new Ass Ass Creed has train hideouts:

I honestly thought that this was a joke thread.

Not sure what led you to think it was joke thread, though I try to keep a sense of humor about whatever I post here.

 

As for the term "hideout," I really like the idea of a train "hideout." Reminds me of playing with friends in the woods when I was a kid and having a home-base and a hideout.

 

As for humor, well, to each their own giggles. This gets me chuckling:

and for heist , one elite challenge is : Better than CJ

There was a nice little glitch on the train where you'd have to mess about taking cover and going in and out of passive, the result being that as long as you didn't touch the sticks you'd float up into the air and loosely follow the train track. Quite a good laugh not sure if it still works.

 

Other than that I like a good cop shootout on the train or holing up there with a bounty. For an added style bonus skydive to just above the train then open the chute last second.

Here is what I would do from the top of my head....

 

I'd have four teams.

Five train stops around the map.

One team gets on train, fighting a few NPCs that climb onto the moving train along the way to the first stop.

Meanwhile the other three teams at the other stops are fighting NPCs (like mini-survivals) while they wait for the train to arrive.

 

Team 1 arrives at the first stop, gets out and battles Team 2.

Winner proceeds to the next train stop.

 

Only team to make it to the last stop wins.

 

There is a timer at every stop where you have to kill the other team or the train leaves you behind.

 

That's what i got.

 

Nice, but unbalanced. You could be in the last team and only end up killing 1 team and win. How about 8 train carriages where you start with 2 teams, in carriages 4 & 5. You have to kill all the other team and then you can move forward a carriage and do it again. It's basically a conquest or supremacy type mode, but moving through a train. Different carriages could have different attributes, like the ones nearer to the end have fixed miniguns, or even have a couple of team members spawn in a Buzzard outside the very last carriage.

 

Well I was thinking, teams that get killed will respawn once the train departs to the next stop and they can chase the train in cars.

Hey i came up with that while at work so i really didnt think things all the way through like I normally would. lol

I like your idea also. One of my fave things to do back in 2013 was ride the train and shoot cops from it and watch the cops get pissed that they couldnt get to me.

[Mokuakae]

Missions & deathmatches ok could be good. But in free roam, stay as they are. Don't f*ck with the train!

[Furry_Monkey]

No-one's mentioned the best thing to do with a train, yet.

 

Get on the train and get someone to send a mugger after you.

 

You're welcome.

[Shadowfennekin]

I just want to be able to jack and drive the train myself like in that SP mission which is a weird thing to do, having a mechanic implanted to only be used in ONE f*cking mission -_-

Mercs is also fun, but the mugger is just creepy, especially if you get one wearing a mask.

By "access to clothing" do you mean I get a cute little conductors hat to glitch onto the fox mask? Cause I'm all for that.

[markyhitch]

I used to be in a crew that placed bounties on each other while on the train to entice randoms to chase us. Then it was a case of how long we could last.

 

Great fun.

[Pete4000uk]

I had a guy chase me right around the map trying to get my $1000 bounty

[Mrs. Buzz]

I love all the ideas with the train (heist/mission etc)

Just want to mention: It's not unstoppable at least on PC

 

(at 5m11sec)

hellayaya! I'm talking conductor's hat, suspenders, rolled up shirtcuffs, and dirty boots... that's right, i said it – dirty &%$# boots!

[Arachne]

So...I'm not the only who cares for trains, eh?

 

 

Yeah, I'm kinda wating for the devs to be imaginative and create some cool little mission taking place in the train where 4 players had to survive from 8 others who must stop the train.

The only use i have of the train is jumping on it while i go to the shops to stop from timing out. Other than that it's useless.

[GR Choke]

your polls/threads are always interesting

[fw3]

your polls/threads are always interesting

I appreciate that, man. Thank you!

[Winonas]

Runaway trains! And a mission on the train during a storm at night.

[ThaSouljaCity]

I want a luxury golden train complete with champagne and cigars for passengers. Oh and laptops too cuz why not

You can just go to the train platform at Palmer-Taylor Power station and it will stop right in front of your eyes without any input. Think it's online only but i'm not sure.

[LogScottWood]

Since Margaret Thatcher privatised the railways here in the UK, we Brits have always scoffed at the absurd prices of tickets and refreshments whilst on board. For once, we would actually welcome the GTA Online prices that Rockstar would implement. $28 for a Pisswasser? Sure. It's £35 here.

 

Hope this helps,

I think it would be cool if there were two trains circling the map; the existing one and one with passenger cars. Then we could have a private space akin to a small apartment in one car. Then we can chill out and watch the world go by. Imagine being in your train car and watching a gang of players come up next to it and try to jump over/on it. Would be pretty cool.

That sounds like it'd be good fun, it could be a pretty sweet Uncharted style contact mission too. Start at the back of the train and fight your way to the front to rescue some fair maiden/packet of coke.

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. With bandit motorcycles riding alongside, shooting at you. Having to duck into one of those flat, open cars for cover. And having Martin's Anna calling out from the front, "Halp me! Halp me!" or maybe Gerald, "Yo! Hep me, motherfletcher!" or maybe Dom, "My 'chute is tangled... Help me, please, and we'll find some cool spots to jump to!"

 

But I digress.

I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it but having googled it, it sounds awesome.

In a nutshell, it's pretty much what you described in your idea. Semi-decent movie. Requires some suspension of disbelief though.
