Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 3)

[21:6]

Tbh I feel as if they have already added so many land and air vehicles and they aren't paying as much attention to watercrafts. There's so much potential Rockstar can do with sea vehicles but they choose not to please both the race enthusiasts and the pilots.

[Happy Hunter]

Thats nice, with that toy people will have on ground flares should def be added, I dont care if I get flamed

Oh yeah. I was one of the main proponents of an anti-air tank (more officially called a SPAAG). But I proposed it to go alongside powerful aircraft like the Hunter, A-10s, stuff like that.

 

If we're not getting any of that - and that's a big if to be fair, bound to be more content hidden - then I say f*ck it, give aircraft countermeasures. There'll be more than enough for people to deal with all aircraft anyway.

Yeah well, we're not pleased. We are not amused.

 

Do like the APC though, and I wouldn't say no to boats (actually agree it's pretty lame they haven't done much with them).

 

when you're riding your bike, not disrupting anyone and a helicopter comes by with malicious intent. shoot it down, they just pull another right out of their arses and come back.

I would just throw a snowball at it to be honest.

 

Do agree that CEO's spawning Buzzards was a mistake though. Powerful hardware's good, but it shouldn't be so readily-available that it just appears by your side.

Some of you kids really need to learn to edit your quotes!

Doesn't the recent qabeta activity point to a 6th launch? Based on previous qabeta/DLC relationships.

They still haven't sent the update to Sony/Microsoft yet.

When they do, they have to wait for two weeks as maximum so Sony & MS could verify it.

With the recent event revealed, June 13th would be the release date assuming it's verified at that point.

Im curious as to "how amphibious" the apc will be. I'm willing to best it'll perform like an Insurgent. Except better.

 

Also, how fast can half track vehicles go in real life?

[SickBoy]

What's amusing is, while the argument for whether aircraft should ever be a serious focus, and people bringing up literally every other GTA game as an example, the simple point to make would be, what the f*ck does it matter in any other game since they were Single Player only? It didn't matter in the least if you had access to the most OP sh*t ever, because all you were able to do with it is kill NPCs. The problem is that this is Online, and having such easy access to this just ruins the game for everyone else.

 

I say this, while sitting in a lobby where there is a massive fight going on just outside Fort Zancudo, with people going passive and stealing jets to grief everyone else in the area. At one point over half the session, 19 players were all gathered up there just spawn-killing each other over and over, while someone broke out, got a jet then wiped pretty much everything out until someone else got a jet, rinse and repeat. And that's just one item that people can't even spawn themselves to get.

ahh, you fixed it, thank ya <3

[enjoyingorc6742]

so everytghing i said yesterday was wrong. oh well, we got ourselves a half-track

[GR7]

Funny thing, I never used to be against Military Hardware. but when you're riding your bike, not disrupting anyone and a helicopter comes by with malicious intent. shoot it down, they just pull another right out of their arses and come back.

 

Stealing your military hardware was fun, it was risk VS reward. you took the risk of getting shot by the military and the reward was your sparkle sparkle combat vehicle

 

I'm sure everyone used the cop suit in VC to take the Hunter, I barged right in wearing a tracksuit

Would love in the next game if the only way to get a tank was after gaining a 6 star wanted level and managing not to get blown up by the tank you're trying to steal, but also make it strong as f*ck since it would be harder to obtain.

 

Unfortunately there's shark cards to sell so all the OP military vehicles will probably be back to purchase so the old run off in passive to collect your deathmachine strategy will still be in play.

>implying that there were no unofficial multiplayer mods

On 90% of servers that I've been on SAMP or MTA all of military spec vehicles were unlocked. Only super role playing or peaceful maps had them disabled.

Not only that, you are forgetting that IV had OFFICIAL multi and you could easily get the Annihilator, Buzzard or APC...

I hear if you pick up a tank from zancudo and take it to the city, it'll start to fight anyone with a wanted level!

The M3 Halftrack top speed is 45-50 MPH/ 72-73KPH.

[Happy Hunter]

I have a feeling the tank is going to become completely obsolete with the APC, especially with explosive rounds. Not that it wasn't more or less like that anyway, but more so now.

 

Then again, most tanksexuals will move to it, and it should be fun for chaos anyway.

[SHADOW OPS]

I bet that Rockstar messes up that armored tampa. It will just be half cocked and won't allow for full penetration. Have a hard time blowing cargo with those loads.

 

This DLC is starting to feel limp.

[Unclean]

Still wondering if the driver will have control of the turrets on the Tampa, 2 apcs, and the other artillery (?) truck or if a passenger will..

It would be nice if it was both. The driver can control the turret, like on the Firetruck/Rhino, but a passenger can take control of the turret. (Similar to the passenger having the option to take control of the machine guns on the Buzzard/Savage.)

So that's why they said " in June" I think they honestly didn't know when it's realase date.

 

So Fun your saying we have to wait a little longer

[Happy Hunter]

On the plus side, if it's far off, then there must be a fair bit more to show. Hope we know more soon.

 

I mean, if this "massive" update only has 4/5 vehicles, and they're all shown weeks before they're released - I don't know, just would be strange.

 

Or maybe I'm shaping things to fit what I want.

[Yan2295]

They still haven't sent the update to Sony/Microsoft yet.

 

What exactly makes you say that?

 

They have and it already passed, afaik.

Any land vehicle equipped with a homing launcher controlled by the driver will be too much, it's already too easy to grief others. The APC with the launcher mod should be anti-air only and the Tampa shouldn't be able to lock on imo. I've never come across a Ruiner 2k in freeroam but I bet it sucks ass if there's a dick behind the wheel

[phlucas_]

I don't know know if Fun or Yan is right, but if Yan is, there still is a chance of the update dropping June 6th. Out of the event, only the special vehicle missions go on until the 12th.

Yep. The vip ruiner has unlimited rockets for 20 minutes and it tough as sh*t.

 

But I kill jets as well. So it's not all bad.

OT: I just got an eyefind email from WC&C about war-ready helicopters. If only it was talking about new helicopters.

Not sure what that's about. Newswire and SC says 12th. I would not put my money on the 6th.

Hopefully not to be honest. Because then there wouldn't be much opportunity to show off other vehicles.

 

And if this small set is all we'd got it'd be pretty underwhelming, even if the APC is sacred (and awesome).

People just don't seem to understand no matter how many times it's explained to them

 

ROCKSTAR DOESN'T AND WILL NEVER RELEASE AN UPDATE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EVENT WEEK.

 

It doesn't matter if half the bonuses end a week early, the event week is still active you f*cking bafoons. It's like talking to a brick wall trying to explain that the update isn't coming on the 6th. Rockstar basically f*cking confirmed it by having a two week long event week and still you retards think there's a chance of the 6th.
