I don't mind some wackiness in the game. The Oppressor, Deluxo and Vigilante were all cool pop-culture additions, though they should never have been weaponized in the first place. But when they're turned into griefing tools and R* apparently doesn't give a sh*t, then something is definitely wrong.

Also, this should tell you what exactly is wrong with the OPMK2 compared to its predecessor.


There's absolutely no fall risk when using it and its way too easy to maneuver, never has to land and hence requiring no skills. It also has no pop-culture reference, it's just a gimmick that has a lengthy Shark Card money sink scheme attached to it.

The only thing close to info, as far as I recall, is cut content from Arena Wars. There were war variants for the Vamos and Peyote. The Vamos also has unused collision and driving mechanics. This coupled with the Arena War pricing and ranking leads many to believe we will get more Arena War content next as March updates arent typically 'ground-breaking".

  People are speculating later this month or next month, but nobody knows

I cannot believe there's people out endorsing more weaponized and futuristic bulls#$t. Hasn't the game been destroyed enough already. 

What if I do want more weaponized vehicles in the game that are actually unique and balanced?

 

Like, yeah, I agree that nit everything needs R2K missiles, explosive cannons, stealth mode, VTOL mode and countermeasures at the same time, but things like the Gyrocopter from "You Only Live Twice" (I posted it a page before I think) or even something like WWII aircraft (I would love a Corsair or an Stuka) or modern aircraft (a Blackhawk would be cool) are on the realm on possibility.

 

Albeit I wouldn't mind getting all the weaponized vehicles that we already have rebalanced before R* adds more into the mix.

 

Weaponized vehicles do have a place in GTA after all, they just need to be balanced IMO.

 

Except the Oppresor Mk II, that thing is beyond annoying.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind for the Oppresor Mk II to have the main body of an Enduro or a similar bike so it could resemblance the hoverbike from Looper better:

 

 

The Oppresor Mk II's design is not only nonsensical and inmersion breaking, it's also lazy as f*ck, it's literally an Oppressor, the only difference is that it hovers and flies. Where's the creativity?

 

Hell, the Oppresor Mk II being based on the original Oppressor would have made some sense if it was actually an upgrade for the original Oppressor in the same vein as the Insurgent Pick-up Custom, but nope, it had to be a whole separate purchase that can only be upgraded in a paywalled workshop. I mean, would it hurt if the Oppresor Mk II could be upgraded in the MOC and the Avenger too?

 

The Oppresor Mk II is the epitome of everything that's wrong in the game, in more ways than one.

To be honest I only really want a Gauntlet Classic and a ZR350, both are long overdue. Maybe a Bullet Classic as well. I’ll be very disappointed if none of them show up in the next dlc.

 

But if the weaponized vehicles are unavoidable (pretty sure they are nowadays) then I would be very happy with Akula-like stealth F117. Might as well make it sound alien-ish like the up-n-atomizer cause why not? No exp mg pls, tx r*

I think the Pisswasser dominator can be converted into an arena war Dominator already. Correct me if I'm wrong. So we are now at six cut Arena War vehicles. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the next update adds more arena related content.

Yup, I think arena wars part II is on the horizon. Not going to lie though, i rarely use those cars. I'm more excited for what else comes with the dlc. I do like the addition AW brought with changing the color of headlights. 

 

 

Going back to a mafia theme. I wouldn't mind an 80's and/or 90's theme radio station. Have a mafia dlc with influence from those time periods where you have Gotti type people flaunting their wealth. Throw in the mansions and a bunch of cars to blow money on, and that would be a hell of a dlc. The nightclub is my most used building I would say. It actually serves a purpose other then grinding. They could, like mentioned before, tie that into the mafia dlc. 

 

Going forward, I can see the next dlc being arena wars part two and then the summer dlc (I believe only one will come) will explore something new. What that will be is anyones guess. Arena wars took me by surprise tbh. 

[Tez2]

If anything, it seems like R* isn't planning to release Arena Premium races.

It could be the theme of the next update, I assume they didn't like the idea of regular premium races and wanted to expand on that to feature more rewards/prizes ?

[crybaby17h16]

in my humble opinion i don't think they will do another arena war dlc related in this upcoming update, it gonna be kinda a wrong move in my humble opinion..

 

as i like to think about it, they didn't add any dlc on october if i'm correct, then there was arena war which i like to think it's not a big dlc, even tho the arena war dlc actually added much content.. so the next update hopefully may be something big like a casino dlc maybe or a good story driven dlc..

Edited March 16, 2019 by crybaby17h16

[AUScowboy]

I can't fathom buying arena versions of any of those cars... I sure hope the dripfeed has some good stuff to make up for it if these are coming and aren't scrapped.

 

Aside from airwolf, I'd rather have faithful real life aircraft than anything silly from movies and pop culture. You're a tastemaker R*, show these children who dictate the game with their shark card purchases how amazing real life military hardware is. I learned stuff about aviation and history in general when we got the SR aircraft, why not try to enlighten the meme crowd instead of just pandering to them?

*Still believes a clean ZR-380 was saved to come with a ZR-350 and others in a tuners / drift based update with drift scoring system.*

[riotvision]

I wouldn't think the Manchez would upgrade to any of the existing arena war styles. Isn't there an unused trials/motocross course? Wasn't the Manchez the bike used for the trials event at the arena in Vice City? I'd think if it was upgraded, it would have some trials and motocross body/parts options and some new liveries.

Just thinking of a second arena update almost has me about to throw the hell up...

I would tend to agree.. I've sold mine now, but it was very driftable. 

Especially in the snow and rain, but generally felt like it had something new about it, the way it drives, the mechanics. Haven't seen it discussed much ..  only more about it's looks , but I remember being quite impressed with the way it drives.

If they are using the Arena again, I hope it's form something more down to earth. Like an actual, normal race track. Or Bloodring Banger type stuff.

 

And that they pay out more A R E N A  P O I N T S

These new flags are definitely a step in the right direction, the new cars (specially the Vamos) are very capable of controlled slides. Keyboard players seem to be the ones complaining the most, thankfully they are a minority (because who tries to drive with a keyboard?). Handling with the new flags is just too complex for keyboard inputs, you definitely need a controller.
