Your reasons for hating the cops in online

[NuggittZ]

My one (and probably not only, but this one sticks out) real issue with the cops in this game...

 

Is when they hit my NOT MOVING vehicle while I'm in it, and then BOOM, I'M THE BAD GUY.

 

I mean sure, I've done alot of illegal things in Los Santos to be shot over, but they didn't even know about that.

[Roronoa Zoro]

Hating cops in GTA is like hating guns in COD.

 

I have no problem with them, if you use tactics and strategy they are a joke. If you don't, well... here we are.

[That69Guy]

I hate cops because I have to hear some idiot bragging about how he just killed me when in all reality it was the cops who got my health down to 3% with a shotgun from across the street.

[Roronoa Zoro]

This is partly why:

 

To be fair, you hot-wired it and then immedeatly crashed it lol. Why not have your phone pulled up and call lester as soon as you get in?

[Non Funkable Token]

Why I hate them?

 

How long it takes to lose one...... ONE f*cking wanted star,,,,,,,, GOD DAM. I had 1 star blinking for 10 minutes before, I'm not kidding.......

 

How OP they are. They rape you in Hostile Takeover LSIA.

 

1 star takes more time to disappear than 2 or 3 stars. Ridiculous.

 

With 1 star they should be programmed to chase and hit you with sticks, but in this game every fault has to be solved with shootouts. I know R* tried to parody the US cop mentality, but still........ The fact that cops in SA were better worked is terrible.

[Pedinhuh]

 

Could you imagine if they made it where cops were armed with special carbines, assault shotguns, Valkyrie as a replacement for the helicopters and the insurgent as a replacement for the cop cars?

You should have played the "hacked-in" mission FOS v4. The Valkyrie and Insurgent weren't in the game yet, but the cops 'n gang members players fought had at least one Annihilator and Buzzard and were heavily armed.

Those were the days, I saw more cooperation with randoms in that mission than I ever had in heists...

[Matyrosas]

Because SIMEON WANT THAT CAR.

[iddqdvie]

thats a loooooooooooooooong list and alot as been mentioned.

 

the ultima ratio of this is lester, cause the police is so annoying, i don't even want to play the game of getting away from them. gta police was never so annoying, i am not saying they are good, cause they are not. i can still get a good corner and just kill them all because thats what they do, they run around the same corner his partner just dropped dead out of it, and the 12 cops before....

LSIA takeover is really not funny when your buzzard just doesnt make it away from the airport. u spawn in the middle of the airport with 4 stars... eventually with 2 other players. that was expensive!

[TreFacTor]

This is partly why:

 

that one was your fault. Its no different than the gang ambush. Take out the blocking vehicle BEFORE getting in the target vehicle... Duhh.

 

 

 

On topic. This game would be boring without them.

Ever played Counter-Strike?

Know the feeling when some new joins and instantly the next round heads hots your entire team with the AWP in 0.1 seconds?

I have the same feeling over the cops in gta when I out of sight from them hide in some place I think is super sneaky and yet they manage to find the exact place I am in despite not seeing me even head in that direction.

Oh and then they aimbots me.

[Hunter]

Why not have your phone pulled up and call lester as soon as you get in?

Because I didn't know it was a trap. Hadn't seen this trap before.

See above.

 

I can hate them for that if I want to anyway.

Fair enough, i know it is a waste of money but i like to set proxy mines in front of them before getting in.

Oh yeah - now that I know that one's a trap, I'll be sure to blow them all up first next time lol.

I don't hate the cops in the game, they're mildly annoying at best.

[DentureDynamite]

The big issue is that, by being lazy and following the endless spawning terminator rule of police AI, R* has created shallow, predictable, and highly annoying game play, instead of creating a balanced cat-and-mouse interaction that could actually be fun and add a lot to game play.

The only thing that they appear to have fixed (and it needs more testing) is that you can apparently lose the cops more easily when you're underwater--it used to be virtually impossible unless you were at Kraken depth.

Two more examples of AI that should change:

- The cops/NOOSE are hardcore Terminators outside, but deathly scared to follow me into a tunnel? Only when they're right on your tail will they actually follow you in--and it will only be one car. The cops on the road that have been following you should come after you into the tunnel until you lose them or kill them (no new cop spawns, mind you). That alone could make for some fun battles inside tunnels, or losing them via the metro entrances, etc.

- About one-third of NPC drivers will _intentionally_ try to block your path or otherwise cause you to crash during police chases--especially during Hostile takeover or CEO Work. Very obvious, stupid trolling by R* that just gets old.

The fact that they are targeted by auto-aim instead of players is already enough to make me hate them.

 

 

LOL.. thats my favorite part about cops.

 

It punishes auto aimers allows me to better attack said AA users while they fight their own lock ons.

 

When i see AA target me. I just start to round up the cops and bring them with me.

Didnt you see the cops before u took the car?

Yep. I think the big issue is that people expect to hold down a fort like you can in GTA IV. For me anything 3 stars and above is "shoot and scoot". Don't stay in one area for long.

 

I will say Cops hitting me and then me getting a star and then shotgun blasted for it is both bs and justification to launch a Jihad on all police forces of San Andreas.

The funny thing is the game was already dumbed down to begin with. You used to get FIB and Military response, with 6 stars. Now its laughable.

The cops in GTAV don't eat enough donuts. In GTAIV they did and they were fat and not very annoying. I guess that's why the cops don't ever eat donuts and get fat in GTAV. It's because they are all terminators.

Only time i ever set foot in a silly AA lobby is for public races. EVerything else is free aim...because AA makes everything boring, dull and pointless in pvp.. for me anyways.

 

But even in free aim people use free aim assisted aim (Mild auto aim). Cops null the auto aim.

 

It just is what it is tho... Cops annoy players who rely on AA.. So if i notice AA being used on me my next drive by il bring cops with me and they can enjoy fighting their lock ons while i focus on them and only them.

Pretty much this..

 

On Xbox one The Crew is free this month for gold. After playing GTA for so long and then playing that... well.

 

In the Crew the cops will actually chase you. Try and box you in and pit you... But they CHASE you.. Thats the 1st time in years that i had fun getting chased by cops.

 

In GTA they don't chase sh*t unless you drive slow and let them keep up. They all just spawn in your direct line of sight.. go for head on crashes while shooting at you over and OVER again.. Its pretty retarded that the crew has better and more enjoyable cops to deal with then GTA O spawn and dive bomb you bullsh*t cops.

I don't know why but I'm honestly still quite amazed that when a cop pit's you, your wheels automatically turn. Whoever found that out, thank you because that's the one little feature in the game that absolutely put me in disbelief upon learning about. I didn't ever think that a developer would be that cheap and lazy with coding something but I stand corrected.

Your tires don't turn when cops pit you.

 

 

They just turn when they ram with you with a special chase cop. Chaser cops are programmed to match your speed and smash you and make your wheels turn.

 

Cops in GTA actually do try and pit you in a more real way.. but your tires won't spin when they try and do that. Its an actual fair pit. Problem is they don't try and pit most of the time as they mostly try to use chase cops instead that RAM and make your wheels turn.

 

 

But in most cases if you drive fast they never catch up.. So R* just makes them spawn in front and dive bomb/ shoot as you pass by. ANd hope one of them either crashes head on, stop you and shoots you dead... Or they slowly kill you over time as you drive past their dive bombs and they land pistol shots.

 

It really is retarded that R* does nothing to make the cops more enjoyable to deal with. Worst cops i've ever seen in any game ever.. Just lazy..

When you're evading police and you see a squad car coming from the front start steering in the direction you want the cop to go and at the last minute veer the other way to perform the most sexiest of "jukes". This is one technique that helps but even the best players still slip up and get caught, wedged between a palm tree and four SWAT dudes with special carbines.

[MCMXCII]

Ah okay. So I assume it's the cop that is up your ass all of a sudden when you are out running them?
