    Newswire Post Text:

    A billionaire tech mogul, an idealistic intelligence agent, a socially awkward conspiracy theorist and a neurotic supercomputer have been forced into an unlikely alliance to save San Andreas from total annihilation. As apocalyptic threats mount from enemies unknown, you and your criminal crew are enlisted to un-tangle mysteries and eradicate threats spanning from the bustling streets of downtown Los Santos to the ocean floor and all the way to the inner depths of Mount Chiliad in an epic new online adventure.

    The Doomsday Heist is coming to Grand Theft Auto Online on December 12th.

Remember, when people said that zombies in GTA is unrealistic. Of course, in 2017 GTAO is the most realistic game ever...

Passive Mode Abuse. (repost because removed)

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 10:41 PM PST

(edit to the mods: this isnt "witch-hunting" this is a discussion about the passive mode system needing to change. In such the names have been changed)

The system for Passive Mode needs to change. A player going around in sessions will abuse Passive mode whilst flying around the map in a hydra. This Player will kill any and all defenceless players, but once shot at or someone managers to shoot in his direction, The player will instantly go Passive and target that player. The player then flys from straight above them downwards while the timer for leaving passive mode counts down. By the time the timer ends he will be killing you.

This Player has claimed what he does is not 'Griefing', and that 'Griefing' does not exist, that Rockstar implemented the report button to let "salty b*tches" report but not clog up the system.

So far his(?) K/D is 13.87+ and has around 100,000+ kills while using a hydra and this broken passive mode system. This is the most pathetic use of passive mode I have seen since I've started playing GTA online since day one.

Rockstar. This needs to be changed.

An idea would be to not let players enable passive mode while they are within an armoured or weaponize vehicle. Or have a certain amount of times you can be in passive mode.

My Vigilante has been deleted? (Need Help Please)

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 05:06 PM PST

I admit I haven't logged on in about two weeks but, my Vigilante is nowhere to be found.

It's not in either apartment garage, and it's not in the bunker (where I thought I left it), also there's no answer from Mors Mutual.

Anybody else have this happen to them? Anybody have an idea about what happened?

is the game worth getting after these years?

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 10:35 PM PST

Hi, I played GTA 5 on xbox360 on the first year it came out and enjoyed it a lot. But now, I don't have my 360 set up and I got back to playing GTA 4 and that got me wanting to play GTA 5 again.

The thing is, I never got to enjoy the online portion of the GTAO because I didn't have the darn membership for the 360 and just enjoyed the campaign for what it is worth. Seeing how much things have been added to the game and now I have somewhat capable pc to run the game. I'm deciding whether the game will be worth playing or not for the online. I'm just worried that the online will die soon just as how dead it is in GTA 4.

just looking for opinions, Thanks!

Poll: Do you prefer GTA V or GTA Online?

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 04:28 PM PST

Racing clean is tough to do.

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 06:51 AM PST

Just remove the insurance penalty.

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 09:20 PM PST

Listen, I understand that it was originally intended to deter griefing, but this has gotten out of hand, and I know there's a better way.

For those that remember my thread from the other day, you'll remember me as the guy who talked about the insanity of the Oppressors. Well, I managed to take one out! The penalty? 20,000 dollars.

allow me to emphasize that: the number two, with four zeroes. Not 20, not 200, not even 2000. 20k.

When you're being attacked by someone in an expensive car, and you are brave enough to defend yourself, you shouldn't be punished beyond four digits IMHO.

My proposal: Introduce a bounty system or something. If someone destroys the owned vehicle of someone that's not on their friends list, they become a Target of Interest that offers bonus RP and some cash, along with an extended respawn time penalty when they're killed.

A lot of people are getting frustrated for being punished by defending themselves, and just so happen to destroy their vehicle (that can be replaced for free with an insurance call). Either nerf the penalty, or remove it altogether.

How do people call a helicopter mid heist?

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 08:42 AM PST

This week i've seen people call a Savage out of nowhere in the Convoy setup and just now somebody called a helicopter right after we left the aparment to go to the pacific standard bank. Anyone knows how?

GTA online is like F&F franchise

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 03:09 AM PST

First you start with small steps. Drugs, lowlife, car racing.

And soon you realize that you are robbing a bank vault and shit gets real.

Next military vehicles and expensive cars show up to keep you interested.

And lastly you notice that you are saving the world with submarines and tactical missiles

How did I suddenly end up with all the weapons?

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 04:26 PM PST

I'm a newbie that bought GTA V during the steam sell. I think I'm only at lvl 15. I signed in to my online account and suddenly I had about every weapon--rocket launchers, rail gun, Molotov cocktails, mines etc. Any idea how this happened? I did kill one player beforehand and it says I killed a CEO (no idea what that means), would this be the reason?

Btw, the railgun is awesome. Unfortunately I can't buy anymore ammo for it. How does one obtain this weapon?

The music in the doomsday trailer

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 06:23 AM PST

Does anyone know where I can find that music playing in the trailer?

Rock* is amazing at hype music. I know they make their own mix, but does that song sound similar to any other song you know?

I know that the smuggler run trailer song sounds a lot like the start of the Airwolf intro theme.

Any ideas?

The Flying Motorbike: A big slap in the face for the consumer

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 01:50 PM PST

Right, let me start off by saying that I love GTA 5 and its online capabilities, but hot damn the flying motorbike. This utter disaster of a vehicle is letting those who pay extraordinary amounts of money win this game. Now, I am aware of the mobile operations center and the jets and all these other vehicles that are overpowered, but none anger me more so than the flying motorbike.

This repulsive excuse for a vehicle means that helicopters and jets, who, have already air superiority above any players on the ground, will be met with this hellish incarnation. Not only is it terrible for players who prefer the ground, but for those in the air, trying to hit this small target will find difficulty. When and if you destroy this bike, be prepared to pay up, because shooting down this thing will likely cost you $20,000. Just imagine it, your mate, however long the item up his arse his, buys a shark card and pays nearly $5 Million> already that's a crazy expense before I even begin. On top of that, he proceeds to fly around neighborhood and destroy anything he sees, land, air or even in the sea. No one can stop him, because it costs a fortune. It wasn't so bad, destroying a harrier, at least with a harrier, you knew you where somewhat safe on the ground. I urge Rockstar to fix this and I urge you to find these menaces and do something about them.

This is my opinion and please do not take it as gospel, I am but a frustrated player being gunned down by the air motorbikes, and all I can do is frustratingly stare at them.

Is it possible to play GTAO solo?

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 12:16 PM PST

I love the single player portion of GTA 5, one of my top 5 games of all time, and I want more content for it. Back in 2013-2014 I was sitting tight just waiting any day for R* to release more missions for the single player, but a couple of years back I realized R* obviously does not care about the single player, and only makes DLC for the online.

Whenever there is a trailer for a new DLC pack or whatever, it looks so fun but ultimately I know I won't be able to play it because I really, really hate playing this game online. Why? Because all you do is sit in lobbies wait for people to join for the most part or waiting to connect and stuff like that and most importantly: I have always preferred my GTAs to be single player; I want to be the only super criminal in the city.

So i'm wondering, is it possible to play the majority of the online part solo? I just wanna go get a mission and do the mission, like in the single player. I don't want anyone else to play with me. I understand that there are some parts that require other players, like races (because I need opponents) and heists (?) but the majority, is it playable by yourself?

Otherwise I'll just keep dreaming of single player DLC, or GTA 6 (which hopefully has a single player component)......
