K9-Unit Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Hey I've never played GTA Vice and waiting like some of you to the pc release. I like cops. that's my "thing" in all pc games and i was wondering about VC police. I read in some articles that the police is not only chasing you, but coming after other peds aswell. so can you please give me an example of that and how/what/when they do that. And if they do come after others (that was in my wish list since GTA1) then yey to and if you can, mention more police improvements. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opius Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Pretty much everytime you see a cop, about 10 seconds after they will start chasing a random pedestrian. If you have a wanted level, they will chase you. They can knock you off bikes, and arrest you. They use real police manuevers like tapping the bike of your car to fishtail you. There are undercover police in Cheetahs, and you can now snipe the pilot of the police helicopter to cause it to crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawley Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Another great feature is the police send out spike strips and pop all of your tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTATHUG77 Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Police do chase random people and you can get a good citizen bonus for helping them beat up a criminal. But they have no major police chases with other people, which was what i was hoping for. Imagine having some guy race past you in a cheetah doing driveby's running away from the fbi, It'd be like a computerized tommy clone. you join the FBi in bringing him down. He's just as powerfull as you. now THAT's what i call a good vigilante mode. unfortunately nothing like that happens in vice, (it's a shame) they do however, put out spikestrips, chase you, you can snipe the helicopter pilot. the fbi and army aren't almost INVINCIBLE like in GTA3, but they are pretty challenging. The computer police ai has improved, you'll hardly ever see a police car ploughing into a wall and excellerating into it for no reason. they can drive pretty good, they use PIT take-out techniques mostly. They duck and take cover behind they're cars when they get out so it's harder for you to shoot them. They say a lot of really funny things. so here's the star ratings 1: single cop chasing you, maybe one squad car with one policeman in it with pistol. can be evaded by laying low for a while 2: cop cars have two policeman in them. policemn more aggressive. lots more squad cars 3: Same as two except more of them, undercover fbi agents in plain clothes pull up in Miami-Vice esque style and shoot at you with uzi's. you attracted 1 helicopter 4: Same as obove with swat teams who have uzi's. swat members rapell on ropes from helicopter. 5: The FBI's after you now in big Black SUV type ranchers. they wear suit's with FBI on the back and shooot at you with MPK-5's. GOOD LUCK, you'll need it. second helicopter 6: you've caused so much trouble the army's after you. tank's an big troop carrying supply trucks. soldiers in camoflague(??) shoot to kill. tank's auto destroy cars on contact. most traffic dissappears. Say Goodnight smile hope that answers your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZAZEL Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 second helicopter. I would just like to point out that only 1 helicopter chases you. I'm not sure wheter GTATHUG ment that 2 helis chases you (like in GTA3), or a helicopter will "respawn" again after you shoot one down, and come after you again. Well, the last mentioned is the correct answer. A bit of a shame that you aren't chased by a Hunter, that would be so cool, and far more challenging than just the normal "one-shot-with-rocket-launcer-blows-me-up-helicopter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple9 Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 1: single cop chasing you, maybe one squad car with one policeman in it with pistol. can be evaded by laying low for a while On one star, the cops carry truncheons while chasing you, not colt-45s. Once you've reached 2stars, that's when they get pistols.. Plus, something more to add - only Warning Level number 1 can be got rid of by "laying low"..all the others either stick with you 'til you die/busted or you go round getting the bribes.. The Precinct - We're upping our standards, so up yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you stand on a car, in which case they shoot you no matter how many stars you have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9-Unit Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 thank you guys but that's only answers to half of my questions.. can you focus more on police A.I ? i heard that if you aim at a cop, he will react somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the AI has improved in that respect; if you aim at a Cop when you've got no stars, you get two stars for your troubles. And, I think, if you shoot in the direction of a cop, the cop susses you out, and you get a chase...someone correct me if I'm wrong..I haven't played Vice in months..

If you aim at him while behind him, he won't react. But if you're in front of him he will, and you'll get 2 stars as you said. Also, I haven't seen anyone post about the roadblocks? Well, the police does that... the army and Swat as well. Although I haven't seen the FBI set up roadblocks, hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBI do set-up road blocks, yeah, only on 5 stars, of course..they're pretty pointless though, IMO. They don't "block" you what-so-ever..you just run 'em all over..

AxER Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 The FBI do set up roadblocks but usually their more keen on driving like kamakazie maniacs. One of the best thing I found about the police A.I was that they will not only duck and hide behind their cars during a fire fight, but they will also duck behind other peoples cars, blown up cars and even lamp posts, benches and other objects.

AZAZEL Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 They don't "block" you what-so-ever..you just run 'em all over.. Well, I was in a situation once where the army had set up those Baracks OL road blocks, and I hit one of those "stop bars" (is it called that) with stripes on it, with my Rhino, and it sent me into a salto, over the roadblock! I landed safely back on my wheels, and proceeded the masacre. Looked very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
