johan 29 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I agree but when you run a playlist there's people coming and going all the time. It would be very hard to police unless the crew has an absolutely no helmet allowed rule across the board for death matches for everyone, but I can't see that happening. We ran a DM today and it was quite fun, I got to kill more people than normal when wearing a helmet (most of us were) and you can still kill people with 1 pistol whip! It's 5 shots for a pistol and 4 for the new rifle. just a quick question , where do you buy that helmet?

LN-MLB 2,583 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Casey, yeah, I know what you mean--I personally think it SHOULD be a rule, as it is in most H2H matches, but I'm just pissed off about it in general. I agree with Jag--I personally don't want to wear a helmet during every TDM, capture, LTS, etc and it's just absurd that everyone will now be wearing them no matter what. In TDMs against randoms, I suppose that is one thing, but during crew events, there's a part of me that hopes that people will have the common courtesy not to do this. I know that's asking for a lot, but ugh, I just don't like it and don't want to support it. I don't know, I'm just not happy at all about this or the fact that I won't be able to add captures to my PLs (unless something is fixed rather quickly). Well, let's look on the bright side; at least we can disable that awful quick launch snapmatic feature.

handcuff_charlie 801 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The option to add rounds to the LTS is big. This was the biggest reason why LTS's stunk. You play one round and its over, it made no sense. I like this option for Captures too. Going to change Vanishing Point to best 3-of-5 later tonight. 2 Quote "handcuff, should I join XDBX?"

Pr0fane 495 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Agree with those that think it should be "no helmets" for crew events. Even for late-comers, as soon as the match starts, they can go to Inventory and take them off. It only takes like 3 seconds. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/2969-v117-notes/page/2/#findComment-48844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy 2,811 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It makes me not want to participate in anymore playlists if there is no real rule about the helmets. I'll avoid random DM's and DM's with friend's (who are not in this crew) because of this helmet thing. So I'll definitely avoid the crew playlists too if this becomes a huge issue. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/2969-v117-notes/page/2/#findComment-48845 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catering to those who "can't" and then go cry about getting head-shotted by people who spent the time getting the hang of scoring headshots. It really isnt that hard, press L2, flick the aim stick upwards twice, voila you are auto-aimed onto the head. :/ 3 Quote "handcuff, should I join XDBX?"

Ronny 1,061 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 New Bulletproof Helmets in 5 different colors have been made available in clothes stores. The Helmet will give players limited protection against headshots. Ugh, really? I honestly think this is a bad move, but it is what it is, I suppose. The LTS creator should be interesting though, but if team balancing is on by default and the host is unable to switch, I wonder if that will affect things in the H2H mode. Has anyone tried the new cars or weapons yet? I'm really bummed out about the helmets. Just getting the hang on the head shots and then they bring this to the game I hope I never need to use them, but I will be so honest that I'll say I will use them if I need to, I guess you wont meet any randoms without them. I'm looking forward to try out the LTS, but I'm afraid it's gonna be some waiting time for the guys who dies first.

ssracingn2 935 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I feel the same way LN and Jag.

Torrid 653 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I live off of headshots in close quarters fighting. That small limited amount of protection would guarantee I die first. I don't understand the reason why they added the helmets.

That small limited amount of protection would guarantee I die first. I don't understand the reason why they added the helmets. Cry babies, that's why....they are pushing the LTS (no respawn) so they know crybabies will have nothing to do with LTS's and will be back hounding them for heists or whatever. Big patches/updates buy R* a few weeks of relative tranquility from the player community.....but not if the large # of players who never play DM's because they can't deal with getting headshotted aren't going to participate in a patch driven by DM's with no respawns.

I will not wear a helmet and any playlist that i run if someone is wearing one will be asked politely to take it off during deathmatches. Same here. I'm not wearing them either. If they can be non-visibly-equipped like body armor then I will use them. But before that option for body armor was introduced I played all DM's with no body armor either. I like my character running around in a bikini top or sunday church dress with pigtails dropping all these fools trying their best to dress their characters up as tough-looking as possible.

JustHatched 12,123 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 As far as helmets and crew policy goes, before anyone has a fit about them let's give a few days for all to see how they work and how it effects game play before we reach any decisions. Right now there probably won't be any rules saying if you use them you get the boot or something. All I ask atm is if you are a playlist host you need to set the rules for your playlist and ask that everyone follow the hosts request. 1 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

You're definitely right. I've never thought of myself as the strongest DM player, but I do enjoy playing them and have learned some helpful tricks along the way and other than using body armor supplied in the match I've never bothered to try any tricks such as using the racing helmet. The helmet thing will definitely have to be an all or nothing thing based on the rules put forth by whoever is organizing the match. I'd prefer not to use them at all and have no intention to use them, unless of course they are required by the rules of the LTS or DM being played.

PapOiteE 465 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The vehicles are nothing special. The car is nice but there's nothing to customize. One of the bikes is so fat it looks like those motorbikes from Power Rangers. The other one is not bad at all. I like the marksman rifle, but i think it's a bit weak and the shotgun is interesting. Both weapons look very nice though! And I looove the outfits!!

Danielle 3,007 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm certainly not going to be sitting at the start of a playlist messaging people telling them to put on or take off a helmet, 100% up to them.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The helmets aren't an issue for me, they are in the game and we had better accept it, no more can you get lag killed from absolutely nowhere or from behind good cover and it gives the less experienced players more of a chance. Also it's a DLC item, I bought them all and I'm gonna use them, it's either that or your opponent will be using one for sure. I like the LTS game mode, always did but too many people avoid it because you only get one life.

G37 3,445 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Lol @ LTS creator. Still doesn't get me interested in the mode. The "rounds idea" is cool but, yeah, no. A BP helmet. Great, now every asshole I see in a DM will be wearing one. Oh baby, finally. Bet $10K!
