bloodeye Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I've started playing through GTA SA again and played a mission called 'Puncture Wounds', in which you have three sets of stingers and LMB release them. I was wondering why these arn't available as a powerup? Cant be sure if popped tyres are synced yet? But maybe in a later version of race. Link to comment
darkdreamingdan Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I wanted stingers as powerups in race, it would have been great. It wasnt added though (mind you more pickups were planned than the one in the current release) Suprisingly enough though, spike strips have been looked into... Link to comment

Gamefreek Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Stingers are the spike strips that cops put out on the road to blow your tires out Link to comment

Jani Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Air to air missile? LOL. Stingers are long strips of spikes which police spread across the road which are designed to burst and deflate the tyres of criminals in car chases. The old style ones are physically thrown out into the road by an officer and then pulled away by a piece of attatched rope, the newer ones (not in GTASA) just sit on the road and are activated by radio control, so the officer can activate the spikes when the criminal comes past and then deactivate them so that it doesn't burst the police cars tyres too.

DarkDragon98756 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Air to air missile? LOL. AA = Antiair And yes, a stinger is that. Link to comment
paul527 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Stingers are long strips of spikes which police spread across the road You forgot to mention that the spikes on the strip have little holes on them so the tire is deflated gradually, preventing a spin out that could harm other drivers. If the tire was deflated instantly the driver would lose control. Link to comment

paul527 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 so ummm is this gonna be moved to the Suggestions Topic or what, cause sooner or later someone is gonna say "hey they should put that in MTA!" which isnt too bad of an idea i guess. Link to comment
Leviathan Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 well, the answer was on the forum allready, since the stingers are an anti-pickup. The anti-pickup idea is somthing we actually intended to put in the first release, whern we first thought up the pickup idea, but that never happened. We were going to have things like bombs and oilslicks etc - its likely that may still happen. just check this thread: http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t= ... p&&start=0 Link to comment
paul527 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 It sounds like this is a possible feature Link to comment
