Dogfight--yay or nay?

[StormerBoy]

Do Rockstar know what a dogfight looks like when it's good? I think this is deliberately crap because they don't want the lazer jet trolls to stop killing everyone in Free Mode.

 

1. Who wants to spectate other players?

2. What game mode is better 1v1 as apposed to more vs more?

3. Where is the skill in knowing how to spam missiles?

 

I love G Rating and Aquire Targets, but it's so hard to get them started. As soon as I saw you couldn't use hydra or lazer in this, I was like wtf!

 

What an absolute waste of time!

[elfoam]

 

Played it. Absolutely terrible. Defeats the object of an actual dogfight when all everyone does is spam rockets.

 

Here's me thinking it would be just cannons.

 

Nay, absolutely nay.

Guess they didn't learn from the last f*ck-up of an adversary mode then. BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP ad nauseam.

 

The last 50 did you mean :0

Feels like these recent Adversery modes are just adverts for the new vehicles.

Conspiracy theory!

I suppose spectating other players while you wait for your turn will result in one of the following:

 

# Extreme boredom, but a chance to go for a nice dump .

 

# Quit the lobby .

 

 

EDIT.
I'm already laughing at some people's suggestions of 'dog-turd' or 'dog-turding' .

Came here thinking it was about dogfights in general, voted JA. Realized my mistake, came back and removed my vote. Adversary mode is pure CRAP.

[Smooth Longsack]

 

Damn it I was looking forward to this sh*t. Based on these responses it seems very disappointing.

If you enjoy the planes and missle combat then it might be right up your street mate. These are just opinions so don't let it put you off.

Can you use the guns? If so, that's the ticket.

[Hécate-II]

Cringy Orange versus Ugly Purple

WW2 plane that spam Homing Missiles, I fail to see where is the dogfight(I expected something like Nokota vs Nokota and only machine gun available)

 

The advertising pictures looked good though, but in game its different. They downgraded it to the standards of average adv mode. Won the first round, and pulled off the Ethernet wire lol.

Same story.

[SkylineGTRFreak]

I'd say nay, but don't wanna be corrected by a forum tryhard telling me that I should git gud at this before typing my negative opinion in an opinion thread, so, I don't know....

Don't worry... It's probably the people who looked forward to this the most that got disappointed the most.

 

I mean 1v1? Really? While others just have to wait? That is pure bullsh*t. Then again, we actually to have dogfight games in form of vehicle deathmatches already, but limited to the Lazer and noone plays them.

 

Why an Adversary mode that's inferior? That.... well, only Rockstar can asnwer that.

If they limited the missile usage that'd be alright - don't see how it'd differ much from a real dogfight then.

 

Some of the ideas they have though about people sitting around doing nothing, the "waiting your turn" whilst it's just one vs one just makes me think these guys don't have a clue what their players want. Then again they probably don't care.

[EggsAndJam]

Should have been a Vehicle Deathmatch.

[Lonely-Martin]

Doesn't appeal anyhow as I'm just not a PvP fan. For the occasional times I do, there's many a job to please me. I prefer simple ground DM's/LTS's with forced weapon to minimise the spamming of rockets/bombs etc.

 

Dogfights in general, no problem. Again, I may occasionally. But sitting there watching up to 4 others take their turns, while it may pay and suit those that like to earn decent cash (assuming it pays during this 2x event) then it's gonna be well recieved by those, certainly whikle an event runs.

 

For me, seems too stop start from what I'm reading. Only really good for those downtime moments like coffee/beer/smoke breaks to me, and I use contact missions/races myself...

 

...Certainly a good mode for those that love to rage quit too, do their round, nick a win maybe even, then hop to the next (especially if players work out how to be 1st and the rounds pay individually).

[DarkFlame588]

So it's not a fur ball? Well that's lame.

 

Seems like the AFKers will be back en masse for this one.

I can't even play it so it's definitely a nay from me. It's a shame because they've been releasing some pretty good adversary modes recently, what with stockpile and overtime (though that's not exactly recent). Condemned was complete sh*t though, I guess this will be the next one to make a trip to the adversary mode graveyard.

[Cutter De Blanc]

Dogfights.

 

It's so foolproof, how could they possibly screw it up!?

That's what I thought.

 

Here, let me create a great adversary mode... actually, Last Team Standing:

- Up to 16 player mission

- Up to 4 teams

- Nokota locked to machine guns

- Dogfight in the sky

- Last team alive wins

AFK fa**ots <<<<

Going to honestly admit, I'm warming up to this Adversary Mode, only on the sole reason because I'm using the Pyro, which is by far the best option.

[StangOne50]

Wow the poll is 39-5, pretty lopsided. R is really trying hard to be included in the great wonders of the world with their logic.

[Malibu Club]

From what I'm seeing here in this thread, this adversary mode could be vastly improved by having all players having a team battle. Maybe to prevent teammates from crashing into each other or something, everyone on your team are in non-contact mode? Just throwing in some ideas.

That alone sounds way better than this dog sh*t we have now

Its a 1v1. Others have to wait on a spectate screen, so crashing isn't the problem.

 

They should have just used the stock Nokota, everyone in the same round, no missiles. Would have been a lot better.

[Rafae]

The 1v1 restriction is the most obvious flaw of this adversary mode

[Cutter De Blanc]

The fact that Rockstar is completely f*cking out of touch with their fanbase is the most obvious flaw in this adversary mode

[White Shark]

Lol R* are terrible at this. At what point do they put all this together, stand back and say: "Yeah, that's perfect, well done morons!" ?

[xDatxJunkyx]

I hear there is no Gatling Cannons.

 

Machineguns are equivalent to peashooters when it comes to vehicles, if they added cannons it would've made it better.

[MeisterJazz]

Most people leave because they dont like waiting.

[Spectre "2K"]

I liked the point Gtamen made in his video: why not just make it a real 1v1 if you're gonna insist on the mechanic? only two people connect, nobody has to wait. I'm still having fun with it though, Pyro is king if you can aim an MG
