More roleplay shootouts?

[Que]

What SAMP players need is to learn to have fun from the chase/shootout itself, instead of just killing cops/suspects and consider that "winning" the situation.

Wisely said.

[Cero]

Maybe we'd roleplay shootouts more if we didn't lose a fuckton of money every time we die?

[Hess]

Agreed.But When I try to Roleplay a shootout, the cops call backup and the FBI and then we all get killed.

Same thing with bank robberies.

Cops calling backup = roleplay...

Not sure why you are complaining? If you are going to "roleplay" a shootout or bank robbery, expect the cops to prepare by getting as much support as possible.

Often when I'm on duty and theres a mass group of suspects shooting or what ever I'll get out, crouch behind my patrol car and radio for backup then attempt to hold the criminals off in a roleplay shooting manner, but then the suspects just withdraw Combat Shotguns and storm towards you bunnyhopping, people who do that are bound to know who they are..

But whilst the suspects may do it, the police do it too.. Lets say the suspect actually attempts to roleplay with a shootout, like sometimes in Motels they'll hide at the end room shooting down the corridoor, some police officers don't even attempt to roleplay, they'll just storm in with Deagles like rambo going nuts..

IMO we are all as bad as eachother, but this topic is here to try and make people do more roleplay shootouts, instead of bunnyhopping towards your target (Suspects or police in any situation) try crouching behind something and shooting, I think it's much more effective in killing and surving yourself and looks much more realistic.

Discuss, no moaning please!

I agree with this to a full extent. It's sad that criminals do this, it's very irresponsable and its these people who make criminals look bad. I suppose it depends on knowing who you can and who you can't do such things with. Official groups are a good place to start if you're looking for a roleplay shootout.

Agreed really. There's not a constructive purpose in suspects losing so much money for being killed.

if we ALL used 9mm for the day, it'd be epic.

Agreed really. There's not a constructive purpose in suspects losing so much money for being killed.

The purpose is to not be a suspect. And that is indeed a constructive purpose. Too bad people are too stubborn and instead of trying to not get wanted or surrender to minimalize losses, they rather first fight to the death so they lose resources and then have the nerve to moan about it, whether in-game or on forums.

Criminals are meant to commit crimes unnoticed by the cops. Yet "criminals" always call the cops when for example demanding ransom - so they're literally asking for trouble.


If you want to commit crimes for profit in-game - avoid cops.
If you want to fight cops - don't be surprised if you lose resources.

The best roleplay shootout i've ever had was with Romeo, actually. I was a SAPD Cadet at the time and there was a code 30 called at Queens, Gvardia and Ancelotti. After some were arrested outside, NO officer went inside, but i reminded myself i saw Romeo going inside the place. I came inside and i decided to roleplay something out of a previous experience we had in VC:MP, and it was hella fun. I did end up dying in the end, when he executed me with a 9mm silenced, but did i care? No. The whole experience was fun.

This would be interesting....

Your primary goal in a shootout is to SURVIVE at all costs, even if it means taking the life of your combatants by any means possible. Making it as realistic as possible should be the last thing you even try. Besides, GTA:SA has its limitations that don't allow for realistic combat... or as you put it, "RP"

Adding on to this...
About the cop taking cover, if I see it as a retreat, I go back to my car or go look for a car and I don't kill him simply because it's an opportunity to escape and I don't want extra running time. If he's going back there for cover or simply to gain a strategic advantage over me, I'll gladly go over there and null that advantage.

Argonathians should draw more inspiration from cop-criminal shooter movies. Hollywood actually has a practical use in some cases.

Naaah

Recently had a shootout with Romeo on Paruni, I was being patient staying behind cover shooting him, I remained on full HP, bit of Armor, and him on basically no health.

As soon as I went Rambo like a criminal I died.

Eh, you suck at shooting
I basically try to escape from such situations, though there are some exceptions, such as if there are armed cops, i know if i get a car they blow it, so I and whoever my partner is, go close to them, and go rambo. Or when I'm in hurry, trying to escape with my friend, and the cops are dbing, we jump out and shoot them, probably to get rid of them either by killing them or scaring them away. Though i basically kill them coz we all go rambo in those shootouts.
