I find it strange that the Sniper Rifle is modeled after the Arctic Warfare Police rifle - a gun that is famous for being a one-shot kill to the chest in the Counter Strike video game series - yet it takes more than one hit to the chest to kill an enemy. Shouldn't the Heavy Sniper be modeled after the AWP in this case?
Maybe it's Rockstar having a jab at CALL OF DUTY ...

You can also quick scope and no scope, too now. :indiff:

You could always do that (In GTA IV, go into cover mode and switch to the sniper, you can shoot without aiming) but now if you hold down the fire button half-way, you get the standard reticule. It's a bit tricky because your reticule is slightly to the right of your target when in close proximity. The further away you get, the closer the reticule is towards the target.
 
Or head shot the pilot

The pilot is sometimes hard to make out, and it requires him to be facing you rather than the co-pilot, and it's a much smaller target than the rotor... shooting the rotor is generally easier unless you're playing as Michael.
 
I just had the worst chase ever: I flew a blimp low over Fort Zancudo, then led the army down the Great Ocean Highway at about 10 miles per hour.

Reminds me of this:

Anyone else lost game progression today?

This morning I had nearly $1.5m in the bank and a brand new Zetorno in the garage.
Tonight only $219k and NO Zetorno.
My race win count has also gone down dropping my mods on several other vehicles.

SERIOUSLY PISSED!!! :mad:

I have sent a ticket to R* already, so now I have to wait. :grumpy:

and yes I know many here think the Zetorno sucks, I'm one of them, but for the races it's the only way to be competitive and win.

THAT SUCKS!.. I haven't logged in today but I wouldn't doubt it.
:lol: I also have a Zentorno that is only there to win races... Haters gonna hate.
 
I'm just going to take a wild guess here, that the PC version is probably going to be a little bit bigger? If that's the case, then I think I might need to get another SSD :lol:
 
Anyone else annoyed with not being able to move while in Snapmatic? I know that some YouTubers use Snapmatic for first person view and just crop out the rest of the text. If we could zoom using L2/R2 instead of the left stick, we could actually move around for cinematic shots where it's necessary to move while filming.

Another thing that I would love (But might be very difficult to implement) is the ability to shoot very short videos on Snapmatic. Make them like Vines or Instagram videos: about 10 seconds long. I know these would eventually take up a huge amount of space on Rockstar's cloud servers, but it would be a cool consideration. Most machinimas (Not the awful YouTube network; the films made in video games) are like normal films, so each shot would not last for more than 10 seconds. If someone wanted to make a machinima, they could record multiple 10-second videos, then download them off RGSC and put them into a video editing software, then they can string the videos together and add or change things.
 
Dan, the PS4 will make you happy. Hope your planning to move over in November. Built in capture video and picture. All HD.

I still need to get some mileage out of my PS3. I'm not ready to go next-gen just yet and I'm not sure if I will even get one.
 
Just did the LTS playlist with randoms, nearly died of boredom.

5 LTS matches with 2 rounds to each. I'm not designed for DM stuff and my team were pretty lame most of the time.
