Why no stingers as a powerup?


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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:
