CAG GTAIV Night: Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel[ 9/2 @ 10pm EST ]

[quote name='HuppSav']I absolutely hate deathmatches in the prison. It's almost as lame as having auto aim turned on and shooting people with an M4 from 4 blocks away killing them with like 2 bullets. I don't understand how thats fun for anybody after a week. The game is so much more fun with auto aim turned off and a few modes are better with blips far, never team, or off.
The only thing gayer than killing 20 scrubs with an M4 from 4 blocks away with auto aim on, is playing in the prison, or having no blips or team blips.
I absolutely rape people when they pick no blips or team blips and then just camp with a rocket launcher or an m4. I simply go on their team and plummel them with rockets and grenades. If I feel extra devilish I will get a firetruck and spray them all the way accross the street before I run them over repeatedly. They really need to fix the game searches because I have cut back on about half my gta4 playing time because most people don't know how to have the most fun by picking the right settings.[/quote]

It took me 20 minutes to find a deathmatch game the one night that wasn't auto aim allowed and once the game finally started I got booted from it after about 10 minutes, AFTER I had racked up 10-15 kills.

Most of those 10-15 kills were from running people over and then shooting them as they're getting up, but still it completely sucked to lose the $1k-1500 from my potential score.

Were the rest from landing a helicopter on them?

How'd you know? :D Personally, I wish they would've made the player models a bit more destructible, since I wanted to see a scene ala 28 Weeks Later when I land on the road and then hover just above it throwing my enemies every which way with the rotor blades.:)

But maybe that's asking for too much, like fully destructible cities in a GTA game.

Very reasonable. I wish I hadnt sold this so soon. I need another online game

Don't tell me you're burned out on SOCOM already?

You should pick this up again anyway since it's probably pretty cheap used by now. Wednesdays lately have been great, even if they are also apparently pretty gay.

There's also a 2142 squad that needs filling.

Already got my copy paid for.

Little bit burned out of the maps. Hopefully they can do something about it soon.

On BF, I just dont know about gaming on my laptop. Such an itty bitty screen...I did just check "Can you run it" and apparently I can so maybe I will give it a shot when I get some cash
 
Just got Saints Row 2 from Gamefly and I can safely say that I'll keep showing up to GTA night for the foreseeable future.

And smog, don't worry too much about BF, or at least check out one of the demos instead of just doing a spec check. 2142 at least can be unexpectedly demanding. And no pressure... I'm just always trying to get people to play, since it's the best!
 
I think I came up with a possible free mode game.

Team A uses guns while team B uses knives only. Basically, team A tries to last as long as possible while team B tries to kill them with knives. When someone from team A dies from a knife attack, they go to team B.

We'd prolly have to tweak it like which weapons are allowed and team sizes, but I think this would be pretty cool. And there's probably going to be confusion with who's on who's team. But if people play based on honesty, then I'd think it'd pass. Setting respawn to medium or far would be good.

You can sort of think of it as a zombie game.

I was just going to say... you made a poor mans Left 4 Dead (granted... I never played left 4 dead, so it's probably nothing like that).

But what's to stop someone like me from turning around with my gun and giving the knife team a helping hand by eradicating my team? :lol:

Now THAT would be an interesting game mode, if we could somehow draw numbers and the person who draws a specific number would be the 'traitor' amongst us. Unless the person who drew the right number blurted it out or otherwise let us know, it'd be a very tense game while we waited for them to 'turn' on us.

I remember the one CAG night when I think we were playing Bomb Da Base or some mode like that. I think I had grenades and I was trying to drop one out of the helicopter but I forgot to let go of the button that was cooking the grenade.

I distinctly remember all of us splashing down in the water after somehow surviving a grenade going off.

That sounds like a really nifty idea. I'd definitely be supportive of giving that house rules game a try tomorrow evening.

Does anyone know of any other house rule games that people play in free mode? They might make GTA night even more fun than it has been for the past months! :bouncy:

I know quite a few people on Gamefaqs remark about playing with friendly fire off, but going into a free mode game with police turned ON and just seeing how long they can last while causing as much havoc as possible.

That was kind of my suggestion a bunch of posts back.

Of course, I'm still wondering why the fuck Rockstar put in that zombie skin for players, yet they never tried to make an actual zombie mode for online. That would've been interesting to see, especially if you could turn other players into zombies or even turn peds into zombies.

Some of the possibilities with a mode like that would include a Dead Rising-esque mode where you're a man alone against every other player and NPC who have all been turned into zombies.

Unfortunately though, it would appear that that type of mode will have to wait for the next installment, which may not be that far off if the vague hint given in the one recent issue of Game Informer is any indication.

Personally, unless I can cause havoc on a city wide scale and destroy large chunks of the city in the next installment, I may be done with the series.

I mean, why give me a tank and/or a military chopper or jet when the city can't crumble around my heavy gunfire?
 
I just want them to put back in a riot mode cheat into the game.

As for destroying chunks of a city, that's what the Mercenaries series is for. :)
 
So I might have been a little hasty in my judging of Saints Row 2. It's definitely grown on me a bit. I still can't get over how bad the driving is (Although maybe that gets better, too? Didn't driving skill level up in GTASA? That sucked.), but it sort of evens out since you're actually pretty mobile on foot. Also there are little minigames everywhere and I like how bonuses pop up all the time so it feels like a videogame again, as opposed to the Greatest Creative Work of the 21st Century.

The riot cheat thing just reminded me of that, since I think that's in there.

I think I still like GTA4 better, though. Gotta drive!

And I'd be up for doing some custom free mode zombie games/whatever tomorrow. Hopefully everyone has been checking out the thread and knows what's up.
 
Maybe we can just do a simple zombies vs guns with teams at a ratio of about 2.5:1. Knives versus guns. The team with guns could pick a building to hold their fort and after 3 mins prep, the game could start. It'll end until the humans are dead.

Better yet, someone could have a helicopter on the other side of liberty city and try to save the survivors on the rooftop.

Except that in Mercenaries it takes a really good amount of ammo from even a tank to obliterate a portion of a building nowadays.

I remember recently playing Mercs 2 and I grabbed a tank from one of the factions and it took no less than 15 shots to crumble 1/3 of a building.

While I think it's cool that the buildings CAN come down in little pieces, I miss the total and wanton destruction I used to cause in the original.

I guess I'm the only one who used to take that giant jetliner in San Andreas and bring it down in the middle of downtown Los Santos while bailing out though, huh?

I'd sit there and watch it pinball between buildings and while the cars it'd hit would blow up and the peds would get annihilated, the buildings stood firm, which was annoying.

That's why I was overjoyed when they said there would be many buildings you could go into in GTA IV and that 'once you destroy something in the game, it stays destroyed'.

Only problem was, they didn't tell us that they were taking out jets, flamethrowers, parachutes and keeping the game's world as nearly indestructible as before.

Oooh! Dibs on the helicopter?? :cool:

Are there any easily accessible roofs in free mode? I remember there's some skyscraper with a pigeon on it sort of near Star Junction that is pretty big and would be great for a zombie showdown/chopper escape, but it would be annoying if someone had to ferry everyone up there.

Maybe we could have them chase the survivors across the city or something.
Or maybe everyone should just get Left 4 Dead. :lol:

Nope, Cheapest gets dibs on the copter.

So he can land them on people.

Like he always does.

You know this.

There's a few in Bohan just to the north/northwest of your hideout/safe house. I know this because a few friends I play against at night have gone up there and sniped me from the rooftops before as I'm driving by in a car.

Basically, ANY door that looks like the ones to your hideouts/safe houses should be able to be opened and the buildings able to be entered.

Matter of fact, there's actually another building across from your safe house in Bohan that you can enter that has the same kind of door.

Also, any building with one of those glowing floating arrows near a door are able to be entered, though I don't think Rotterdam Tower is able to be entered in Free Mode(or exited through the normal doorway).
 
I think it'll be pretty funny if there was one Crook and the rest were Cops, but they could only ram the Crook to death.

And next CAG Night you have got to play Race on 'Road to Bohan', short map for laps in any vehicle type. Would be fun to see another Truck (Biff) race as well.

I think a one man vs the world C&C game would be interesting.

PICK ME!!! PICK ME!!! I'll be the lone crook against 7-8 or whatever number of cops. Of course, I hope you're all prepared to watch me swim laps around Liberty City for an hour before attempting to go to the waypoint to end the round.
 
[quote name='Dasflikko']No singing please. :)[/quote]

It's settled then, I'll just mumble and hum the whole game or do like I was doing last night and talk in a high pitched voice with the voice changer ON and set to -1 to annoy and distract people. :D
 
Can't decide whether I want to be on the other team to avoid Cheapest's singing, or the same team so it'll be easy to kill him myself.

And yeah, so are we doing the zombies thing?

I'll try to remember not to warble TOO much, since I have enough people trying to kill me in Free Mode on a nearly nightly basis.
 
I hope I can...

At least now I can hear you and you can hear me. Aren't you glad you no longer have to yell into your headset asking 'WHERE AM I GOING!?!?!?!?!'?

Now, you can actually ask me and maybe I'll respond.
 
So if option's going to be out tonight, I may save the zombies thing for next week since it was his idea. Let me know what you guys want to do, though.

No.

Go ahead and try it without me if you want, I'm sure others have come up with something long before I did. Though it seems it'd be hard to organize. I'll try to test out settings and probably have it down by next weeks GTA night.

Biff race on 'Road to Bohan' (no weapons!).

1 crook v. all cops who can only ram the crook to death, though if the sole crook is caught swimming (dirty tactic!) who knows what cop will snap...

Oh cmon, my guy likes swimming laps around Liberty City for exercise.:D

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
 
Got home a little late but I'll be starting the game up soon.

I think I'll save the free mode stuff for next time. 1 crook VS. unarmed cops also sounded fun but then I couldn't figure out how to make the following round of one cop against all the crooks any good. It'll be fun to think about, though.
 
I think we needed to call the ASPCA on someone... :lol:
"No kitty... that's a bad kitty!
These are my cheesy poofs!
NOOOOO KITTY!!!!"
 
It's cool, I can never keep all those races straight, either. Besides, if we didn't do Road to Bohan, we wouldn't have gotten to see that epic pileup right at the finish. That was even better than the one on the bridge a few weeks ago.
