Do you think combat rolls could return for RDR2?

[SinZer0s]

Rockstar has an obsession with combat rolls since 2004

 

2004: CJ was able to roll while crouching

2006: Jimmy was able to roll during dodgeball minigames

2008: Niko was able to roll now by pressing square or X while aiming

2010: John was able to roll too

2013: They returned for GTA V

 

Do you think rolling will be back?

Do you think Rockstar will screw up online gunfights again by including combat rolls?

 

Tell me your opinion

[MorbidPharaoh]

I honestly dont think it "Screws up online" i think it adds more to combat makes going after randoms a little more unpredictable...are they good? Will they roll? Kinda deal much like COD with the boost jumping people are just going to have to adjust...

 

Just my humble opinion though.

I hope not. I despise players who abuse it in MP.

You don't need it for gameplay

[Hybrid_Punk]

I'd rather Rockstar focus on a cover-based system like Max Payne. RDR's was pretty wack.

[Hunter]

I think they almost definitely will - it'll probably be very similar to Redemption 1 - I mean, they are calling it Redemption 2.

 

It's not impossible they won't though, but I think if they get rid of rolls they'll make the gameplay very different.

 

I wouldn't mind it having more touches from Revolver to be honest.

[Dee-account-with-1kbans]

Yes. And crouch

[Banketelli]

If auto-aim is still the default setting then yes.

[paperbagdude]

I believe they will and I think they should.

 

I reckon that the amount of combat rolls you can do in GTA V depends your character's level of either strenght or stamina, meaning a higher level of said skill will increase the frequency of possible combat rolls. Based on this argument (whether it's true or not), combat rolls should be a part of RDR2, but with a cool down on let's say - 10 seconds? I mean, combat rolls are useful and fairly realistic in general, however rolling around on the ground with a firearm acting like a soccer ball isn't.

I'm positive they'll return, which is primarily the reason I intend on playing exclusively in free-aim once it drops.

This. The combat rolls were pretty useless in RDR1 once you learned how to free-aim. It was only somewhat useful if you were getting sniped at and wanted to make it more difficult for the guy to shoot you. Up close, it was useless in my opinion.

[dudclub55]

The problem isn't with rolling, it's with stupid auto aim.

[Algonquin Assassin]

I don't see why it shouldn't come back. Then again given how many simple mechanics GTA V mysteriously made disappear that were in GTA IV you never know.

Are you just trying to start trouble?

 

But I'm OK with horse combat rolls.

 

 

Yes. And crouch

 

I do want crouch. That's especially cool in the western setting. And of course, we need same or better cover mechanics as GTAV.

I ain't lookin' for trouble sir

 

i'm just another humble cowboy

[Blackous666]

rolling and crouching must be in the game

[Dest45]

Nobody rolls around firing guns irl so Im not aure where the idea even came from. In down for cover based shooting.

[Dee-account-with-1kbans]

I still dont know who at R* thought 'stealth mode' was a good idea. It may be the most useless and poorly thought out mechanic in any game. ever.

I hope it does and its is like rdr sp where you can simply combat roll infinitely from usa to mexico

[Pepperjack]

I feel like they created it for those few stealth missions but honestly if it were back, just have stealth be clicking the stick then holding it down makes you crouch, just give us both

Absolutely not, stealth is the one that should be triggered by holding it down.

Imagine shots ringing at you without having cover in close proximity, you'll have crouch your way to cover or dodge roll to cover

They just need to replace combat rolls with the shootdodge mechanic from Max Payne 3. Of course that would require competent netcode, which seems to be outside the realms of possibility for Rockstar.

Yea they really need to work on the combat maneuvering

[Richard Power Colt]

RDR multiplayer was basically whoever rolls first loses. Kinda like a mexican standoff I guess. I didn't mind it personally, well most people I encountered in that game were really sh*t at pvp so it was fun for me at least to get those post-roll headshots.

Without a doubt it'll be back. It's been a part of their products since like 2004.

[Napalmbrain]

I hope not but we all know the answer is yes. A damn shame too, I can't think of a more efficient way to ruin a multiplayer game than by adding a spammable dodge. Fun stuff Rockstar.

The absolute madmen at Rockstar actually listened. I'll take that L.
