orappa Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 perfect balancing feature: anyonw holding a sniper gun has the pink arrow over them, and can get killed with 1 single shot of anything Nah, you don't get that in other games and snipers seem to be balanced there... Link to comment
Slothman Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 i was kinda kidding about that. the difference between mta and other games however, is the "range" system in vice city makes it so someone sniping from a distance is in absolutely no danger whatsoever from getting shot back, unlike say, cs.

What about Far Cry? That's meant to have a long range and I know it has a sniper rifle. Tribes 2 has a laser rifle but that's different because it fires a long red laser beam which you can trace back to where it came from. Link to comment
Slothman Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I haven't played Far Cry, yet, but my point was, that no matter how far the sniper is, you do have a slight chance of being able to fight back by shooting at the sniper (althought you need perfect aim and a lot of luck) but with vc, the bullets simply dont go that far at all.

orappa Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Yeah, that's a good argument. So good in fact that I can't think of anything to counter it. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 but with vc, the bullets simply dont go that far at all. Now we're looking at "Make the bullets go farther!!!" polls... Link to comment

Slothman Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 yes, theres a difference between making vice city multiplayer, and making a multiplayer game using the vice city engine. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 yes, theres a difference between making vice city multiplayer, and making a multiplayer game using the vice city engine. I agree 100% with that. I love the MTA Team's "Don't modify anything" policy... Link to comment
orappa Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 (edited) yes, theres a difference between making vice city multiplayer, and making a multiplayer game using the vice city engine. Very true. I've always noticed that the MTA team don't like to tinker with the core gameplay, as they remain true to the original premise of bringing multiplayer to GTA and not GTA to multiplayer. Edit: Damn Vendetta, beat me to it. Edited June 2, 2004 by Guest Link to comment
OpiuM. Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 lmao, my bad, almost forgot, never really modded that there is really no point unless u cheat, or want a superweapon i was thinking more about the bike doing flips section, i thought for some reason this was in the same catagory, o well, mta wont mod ANY gtavc files in 0.3 or 0.4 so...NOW...stfu newbs, lmao Link to comment

Even the MTA files are separate files... It's nice they're secure enough to do that, that way they can really say "We don't modify anything." Link to comment
+FKU+VVolven Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Again, it's range makes it seem unbeatable, but again, keep in mind it takes time between shots to readjust the aim, as well as the slow rate of fire, and as for range being a factor, well, if they get to a spot on foot, they can be reached by foot, and if they camp on top of a building or something, the slow rate of fire won't save them from heliblades. >: D Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Well, if someone in MTA:VC wants to go through all the trouble of finding the sniper, finding a good spot near good action, and aiming that much, let them have the snipe kills! Link to comment
Slothman Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 it would be cool to snipe the heli blade axle and make a heli full of people fall down spinning super fast Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 it would be cool to snipe the heli blade axle and make a heli full of people fall down spinning super fast Err... Maybe cool for you, but not the "Heli full of people" Wouldn't that be a whole new mod in itself?! Link to comment
l2ebel Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 mta wont mod ANY gtavc files in 0.3 or 0.4 so...NOW...stfu newbs, lmao umm..how do you know? Link to comment
OpiuM. Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 0.3 is relesed already, and they announced 0.4 is pretty much locked down....why dont you search? Link to comment
l2ebel Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 {REMOVED - rebel you should know better, NO leaking of info, people have already started imagining all sorts of things because you decided it was 'ok to reveal this' - MrBump} -no more info- { damn right - MrBump } Link to comment

Prokopis Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Lol muffled and dragged into the shadows by Bump BTW have you guys ever looked into the driver shootin deal? I mean shootin ppl's heads and upper torsos behind windshields and inflictin damage. AFAIK pickin ppl off bikes works even now, this would seem a logical next step. Edit: Meh, just saw it being discussed on the other active thread here, so fux dat. Carry on peeps. Link to comment
