Heist Setup Elimination Game

[Giantsgiants]

 

 

 

 

 

Clearly EMP wasn't going to win or even come close with all those downvotes but it did really well taking them into account. It's only chance of victory in this game turned out to be beating Convoy, which it did.

I would put it forward this is another example of voter failure. EMP features a whole new model - the aircraft carrier - enter-able and only available in this mission. For that alone it should win hands down. I can only assume it's suffered from an overall anti-jet vote. I hate free mode pilot trolls as much as anyone, but they existed long before the Hydra. The question is what's the best Set-up anyway - not what impact it might have on free mode.

 

There's similar parallels with the UK Brexit vote where most people didn't understand the impact of leaving and went with emotional arguments - not realising how many countries invest in the UK to trade with Europe - businesses that pay taxes to fund schools, hospitals and benefits.

 

And if we are not careful, the Americans may vote a grade 1 Muppet into the Whitehouse in November.

 

OK, this game vote is maybe not as important as that...

 

 

 

Fully agree, I think there has been a fundamental misinterpretation of what the point of the game was by some voters.

 

It would have been interesting to see which setup people actually liked the most but instead there's been other stuff brought into it, specifically people's feelings about Hydra griefers in freeroam which should have had nothing whatsoever to do with this game. Fair enough some people genuinely don't like the setup due to high failure rate and whatnot and you can't argue with that.

 

Oh well, if the game ever gets redone it might go better. Might even be new heists by then...but probably not.

 

I actually recalled memories of EMP being one of the more riskier setups in my experience when it comes to doing a CM run. I've seen Youtube videos of jets crashing into each other. Plus, I was helping one group do the CM challenge, and they got so damn paranoid when we got to this setup about crashing into another jet. I could understand their paranoia since if you crash, you have to start over and the "interaction menu up" trick won't save you, but it still drove me nuts.

 

If EMP was still up by the time I could vote again, I would have put that as my reason for my next EMP downvote.

I can imagine it being a stressful one for CM for sure, it's not an easy setup by any means. If someone does heists a lot then I could see why their perspective would shift from whether they enjoy the setup just for the fun of it, to the success rate of getting through it.

 

Edit: made a botch of the quote but at least I tried haha, it's difficult on phones.

Hack sucks. Randoms always die at the back of the Gang Burrito.

Station wasn't bad, but it had that $%#@&^%* infinite-wanted level glitch that would turn a 7-minute mission into a 30+ minute mission.

Infinite cops in Station aren't a problem. Take the car to the tunnel, get out of the car, wait a minute. Or just use separate cars. It's not like in the PB finale where you can't leave the plane at all.

Oh well, I can live with Valkyrie winning. That sh*t was intense the first few times I played it and one can still spice it up in multiple ways. Recently I played with a bunch of retarded randoms. 2 didn't even get into the helicopter and were just f*cking around, the 3rd one didn't know or care how to shoot the guns. I had to land a couple times and take down the attacking helis with the homing launcher.

 

I still think Hack is the most GTA-like mission out of these.

Slightly off-topic: I want to state the following before this elimination game ends. One thing I never liked about any of these missions were the names. They just sound so generic to me. I mean the mission names are basically the name of an objective, enemy, or a vehicle you have to steal. I think some creativity could have been used naming these missions that way they don't sound boring. But whatever, I can't change that.

+1 to Hack. I have to say that I agree with RogerWho when he states that this mission is the "most GTA-like mission out of these."

-2 to Weed. I like the mission, but it doesn't hold up against the remaining set-ups.

EMP is out. Hydra griefers everywhere weep. The next time you have a full delivery of warehouses destroyed by a Hydra, you can rest assured that the joke is on them, because you managed to downvote EMP out of the game. Well done.

Man how I wish I could deal the final blow to weed and give it what it deserves but sadly my last post was 18 hours ago, so I will have to watch someone else do it. Congrats to whoever does!

[RogerWho]

Wasn't the game supposed to restart after there were the last 3 options? Or that doesn't work like that here?

No the game continues as normal however this rule applies:

 

3. When we are down to the last three, you need to vote AFTER 24 hours. Voting earlier than 24 hours is no longer an option at this point.

 

Current Score:

1. Humane - Valkyrie - 29

2. Pac Standard - Hack - 5
