The Irish Assassin
(Re)tired eyes from the shadows
Retired
Anyone that knows of me here will know I don't make a habit of creating threads for stupid reasons but after recent experiences I had to gain opinions from my fellow gamers on the changes that were made between previous and current gen to the in game passive mode system.
Sure there was always that one guy who had to be running around in passive jerking off, waiting to get that one sneaky kill but that was easy dealt with.
Now with the system in place what you get is yet more people just like that. Only now you get Buzzards, Lasers and Rhino Tanks in passive mode? That's just crazy. Why be in a military spec vehicle but so scared of the consequences that someone more skilled might come along that you just fly around 90% of the time just waiting on someone you can sneak up on?
To me GTA is about the life of crime. Not the life of Casper the occasionally deadly ghost.
My idea is that is that if people just want to drive around and not worry about violence from other players then there should be lobbies in place where they can do so. Give them guns and weapons but all other players can be ghosts, then remove passive altogether from standard sessions. I already have 3 properties I can 'hide' in on smoke breaks.
Even at the least they could sort out the HUD map and its icons to differentiate more between players in vehicles etc who are in passive mode and those that are not.
What are your opinions or comments?
Do you share my opinion?
What changes could be made?
Cheers guys!

Like many of my fellow gamers I cut my teeth on GTA V with my last gen console (ps3). I enjoyed every aspect of the game and when online was always prepared for that psychopath like myself to be chasing me with all the gusto of a father chasing someone who deflowered his daughter. However I never used passive mode.
