Guest Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hey ... with this new 'system'.. which looks totally awesome .. im left wonderin, with all the new added 'features'... if passengers will be able to shoot aswell as the driver... i think it would give a much more realistic feel to the whole 'drive-by' scanario... so will that be a feature or not?...

orappa Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 This question was asked before, but I don't recall it being answered... Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 ye someone also gave the idea that the passager could shoot "360 degeres" that would also be nice . Link to comment
happyrock Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 well if you can't take damage in the car then won't that make car killing noobs worst? I see this as a unblanced feature Link to comment
orappa Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I don't see it as unbalanced. It's not like you can perform a drive-by with a rocket launcher, and shooting out the vehicle's tyres will really screw up the guy's aiming. Link to comment
happyrock Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 It comes down to if the how the sycn is. Link to comment
Scorp Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 well if u have a rocket launcher in your arsenal, u should be able to finish off the car in one single shot imagine a player stands on the middle of the road, 200 m away a car is driving against him FULL speed! he selects the rocket launcher and sends off a rocket... the car dodges it in the last second. now a scene like that would look awesome!!

Slothman Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 drivebys in sp only worked with the small automatic weapons. i dont think this will change, but i guess it's up to the dev team. i know that there is a slight auto-aim in drivebys, will this carry through on other peoples screens?

SOI-Horus Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Although these drive by's could create a genre of "driv3byn00bs", I still like the idea. If only the passengers could shoot through car windows, it would balance the gameplay a bit. Think about car killers driving around and shooting you with an uzi from their side windows...

orappa Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Ah yes, but you're forgetting that the rocket launcher is synced and grenades now work properly. Also, with reduced lag, it'll be easier to shoot out tyres. Link to comment
[KFC]DrAke Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 yeah lets hope all this will peice together perfectly, very doughtful Link to comment
Leviathan Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I think it's better you can only preform a driveby with light automatic weapens, such as uzi or submachine. If you want to use heavy weapons, your mate jumps in a bobcat (or other car with some loadspace in the back) and you jump in the loadspace and crouch. I'ts a lot of fun with an m4 crouching in first person mode shooting at your enemy (wich also has a friend in the back of his car) Link to comment
happyrock Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I still think if you could shoot the car and the driver could take damage small amounts of damage along with the cars it would balance out the drive by noobs, but more for the noobs that sit in cars all day in the server Link to comment

happyrock Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I was thinking more about when someone was shooting at you. but I that is interesting idea as well. Link to comment

SOI-Horus Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 God I hope they include the "glue" thingie in Blue. It would be so damn cooooool to shoot with an M16 from the back of a pick-up. So Blue team, what is the situation? Is it even possible to make it as a default or at least include it in an add-on? Link to comment
Scorp Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 hmm im guessing they are trying to get MTA to be as similar to the normal game as it can, but now that we have speedometer, passenger code, configured spawn points and more, maybe they'll include "glue" thingy.. or maybe not the original VC has been "modded" for mp, but thats just for basic VERY important stuff, like the speedometer thats off by default and a very handy addon, and the passenger code, MTA wouldn't be MTA without it (well it was without it at a time tho) Link to comment
Si|ent Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I refer you to http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t=9583 Link to comment
SOI-Horus Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I refer you to http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t=9583 Sorry. Got too excited to remember that. Link to comment

Kent747 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 if we don't include glueing code with blue (its likely we wont because its more of an addition than keeping true to the game), then we'll probably release some code so that addon developers can implement this themselves.

NosGoth Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 [...] its more of an addition than keeping true to the game), [...] But in Single player you are also partially "glue'd" on cars when you stand on 'm. So its still true to the game. Anyways an addon would also be great ofcourse. Link to comment
=TmM= MaDMiKe [CL] Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 i think drive bys would b ace it would b much easyer to catch all the god dam runners who just drive away all the time when u try to kill them. Be alot easy to get a car off the road with drive bys then ramming them for 30mins lol Or u could pop there tyres so they crash and flip its the same with the bikes u can never ram sum1 with a bike so shooting from a bike would b ace.
