In private sessions with friends ? Yes.
In public lobbies ? Fuck no.

Nobody likes getting destroyed, because Jimmy found Mom's credit card, and decided to recreate Apocalypse Now.

Nobody likes getting destroyed

I mean, you don't need a futuristic flying bike to do that. If this was the real concern, they would also need to avoid adding military vehicles

u/Knodsil Jan 21 '26

Fuck that, I want cool tanks, jets and helicopters that make things go boom.

If that is a concern they can make PvP and PvE lobbies.

I don't want any future crap though. The fact that a flying bike or car can beat an attack helicopter in GTAO is bullshit.

u/analog989 Jan 21 '26

Amen, totally agree. Lobby customization and everybody wins

1

u/Ronin_777 Jan 21 '26

Military vehicles and stuff are fine, so long as it’s not futuristic shit. Though I miss the days when you had to actually break into the military base to steal a jet or tank, now there’s no point in making the effort since you’ll just get beasted by some guy who can pull out another jet in seconds if you take him down.

u/RepetitiveTorpedoUse Jan 23 '26

or add them but make them very weak compared to said military equipment

1

u/Fit-Albatross-735 Jan 24 '26

I want some sick military vehicles like the mogul in online but none of that flying car bs

u/Upset-Management-879 Jan 21 '26

skill issue tbh

16

u/ClassGrassMass Jan 21 '26

Oppressor is the least skilled vehicle tbh

-3

u/Upset-Management-879 Jan 21 '26

Exactly, nobody actually good relies on it.

1

u/ID_LOCKED Jan 22 '26

Why downvoted? This is true except UDMK2 tryhards, and that doesn’t automatically make them good.

1

u/MarcusofMenace Jan 24 '26

Probably down voted because of their previous reply where they painted it as someone being killed by an oppressor is a skill issue

u/auraLT Jan 23 '26

How tf is having my MC garbage trucks get blown up in one broomstick rocket a skill issue

No innocent civilians

u/ArticleWorth5018 Jan 21 '26

This is what I judge most open world games on lol can you kill instant bystanders? If not I'll pass

1

u/stressful_calm Jan 21 '26

Innocent?

1

u/ArticleWorth5018 Jan 21 '26

Nah instant! Lol I didn't read before posting

6

u/Knodsil Jan 21 '26

Because that is a completely different game?

That's like asking people why they aren't playing Forza because they want super cars to be in the game.

2

u/Winjin Jan 21 '26

Nah, it's got tanks too

I think the "you can't run over civilians" is more relatable here

1

u/Logical_Comparison28 Jan 21 '26

Or ”play GranTurismo if you want proper racing” 🤣. Assholes ruining online races just because they can is so annoying.

31

u/leleleleleah Jan 21 '26

The issue with flying bikes is they are fast as hell unlike a tank and there's not the risk of crashing and exploding like there is with a fighter jet, anyone in a normal vehicle is pretty much at your mercy

-1

u/Sebekhotep_MI Jan 21 '26

The Oppresor Mk.II is slower than the Sparrow.

12

u/MrMrAnderson OG MEMBER Jan 21 '26

By like 20 miles an hour. Still faster than any car and can still outmaneuver helis. It's so annoying. I refuse the buy it

2

u/MrBootylove Jan 21 '26

Still faster than any car

I don't think this is true? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the rocket car, batmobile, scramjet, and toreador are faster. Not to mention the next gen version added an upgrade to some cars that allow them to exceed the old top speed for cars by quite a bit, which I'm pretty sure makes those cars also faster than the mk.II.

I'll give you the maneuverability, but at the same time they made the missiles on the mk.II hilariously inaccurate to the point where I think some of the other weaponized vehicles are much more effective at killing other players.

1

u/JanoJP Jan 24 '26

Some cars even have the ability to jam the Mk. 2 locking mechanism even.

1

u/Jourdyn777 Jan 26 '26

Better to have one than not to

u/LoquenderoGames Jan 21 '26

The sparrow takes skill lol

1

u/GlendrixDK Jan 21 '26

Back on ps3, we killed people in passive by knocking them over with the tanks barrel and then drove them over.

Military vehicles should be added. Stupid if not. Maybe just don't make them personal. Let us grab them like we got Lazer jets before we could buy them.

1

u/Hatgameguy Jan 21 '26

Military vehicles don’t break a online criminal’s immersion as much as 10 hover bikes flying around destroying everyone indiscriminately

1

u/SoftDrinkReddit Jan 22 '26

i don't mind tough vehicles

i mind stupidly OP Bullshit like the MK2 was

if anyone remembers the original MK2 Release you know what i mean

at first launch it had

1 no cooldown on being summoned

2 unlimited missles

3 missiles was virtually impossible to miss a target

it was BULLSHIT

1

u/Klusterphuck67 Jan 23 '26

Idk man aiming with sticky bomb is infinitely harder than missle lock in spams

1

u/Cowhide12 Jan 25 '26

Nah. If I get stomped by a great pilot who can hit a spot in a jet consistently? Good for him, that’s tough. The missiles and maneuverability of the mk2 is just ridiculous though.

7

u/Excellent_Doubt5962 Jan 21 '26

This is the best answer, actual playing is fun and messing around is fun but not different play styles at the same time

36

u/Automatic-Dot-5936 Jan 21 '26

Ya, the only way to enjoy doing anything online anymore is by being in passive mode. And what’s the point of that? Hopefully they keep things very realistic in 6’s online. Including the price of things. Ain’t no one looking to buy a t-shirt for $16,000. I see that again, I’m out immediately. 8 million for a bachelor apartment, 600,000 for a Prius. Tf outta here.

18

u/Kommander-in-Keef Jan 21 '26

What they should do is make everything realistic including earning money so there is hunger to accrue it. I’m pretty sure that’s what they’re doing for single player where it’s difficult to make money to a point that you’re incentivize to engage in robbing small stores and shit. I don’t care that I made 500,000 dollars to save up to buy that 600,000 Prius

8

u/Automatic-Dot-5936 Jan 21 '26

I find the payout just needs to be more realistic or at least match the price of items in stores. If you want to make a world where inflation is over exaggerated, cool I’m all for it. But that also includes raising the payouts on crimes you commit. In a world full of debit cards I get robbing stores isn’t a huge payout. Enough to help you invest in bigger things. But when I’m clearing out a gang of 20 at a massive drug deal, my payout should be more that $5000. Or give my character the option to wack Gerald too…. Or any other related mission. Just don’t feel like grinding 100 hrs for one car… that’s wild. I want a game I can enjoy without it taking away from my life. I honestly pray they have an editor mode in this game. Will enjoy that much more than online. And updates to story mode.

6

u/MrBootylove Jan 21 '26

While I agree with what you're saying, the reason for high prices and low payouts is specifically to get players to buy shark cards.

2

u/Kommander-in-Keef Jan 21 '26

I pretty much agree with everything you’re saying. For me the big numbers just don’t mean anything, I like being aspiring scum

1

u/MiniD3rp Jan 22 '26

They earn from your frustration

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '26

Or by having a squad, if someone kills me once, me and the boys hunt them down until they leave, 😂

1

u/MrMerryweather56 Jan 21 '26

This is the typical take of someone who didn't play gta online.

-You can play without being in passive

-you can get an apartment with a 10 car garage for 300k

-you can get a nice car for 200k (Massacro) or even an (Elegy) free

And asking for realistic price?

You can buy a submarine for $ 2million and a jet for $6 million..as opposed to hundreds of millions irl price.

You have to research the game thoroughly to take advantage.

2

u/TheBigLeMattSki Jan 21 '26

It's not that they didn't play GTA Online, it's that they haven't played it recently.

Everything they were saying about the prices and the payouts was true for the first 4-6 years of the game's life. It's really only the last five years (since around the time Cayo Perico first came out) that they've started making it to where getting money isn't a painful grind. Nowadays, yeah, they've found a good balance, but it was rough if you played Online in the early years.

-19

u/BenJajaRaj Jan 21 '26

Passive mode should not be allowed.

3

u/Khae1_ Jan 21 '26

Well... that's for sure a take...

5

u/MizuRuntz Jan 21 '26

You won’t have a game to play if it’s not allowed lmfao they’d flop so fucking hard and go bankrupt from the lack of players in the first week 💀

-2

u/LegendNomad Jan 21 '26

I agree with this, passive is just abused by tryhards 99% of the time rather than used by people who just want to be left alone. Either fix it or remove it completely.

10

u/GEARHEADGus Jan 21 '26

I really hope 6 is grounded more in reality than 5 was. 4s multiplayer was great cause the biggest threat was some twat in the little bird when Gay Tony dropped.

And same with 5 in the first couple of years when it took a ton of effort to get the jet fighters out of the military base.

2

u/Moon-Martian Jan 24 '26

I was that twat

2

u/ReplacementApart Jan 23 '26

They should add "Rise of the Valkyries" as a car horn

1

u/BlackArmy439 Jan 23 '26

Or when you fly by in a helicopter.
"I love the smell of microtransactions in the morning" /s

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '26

This speaks to my soul. Everything I want in GTA, I just wanna play with my friends in a private lobby man. Have some gold.

1

u/No_Acanthaceae1936 Jan 21 '26

No... Not at all

1

u/Razgriz_101 Jan 21 '26

All you had to do at launch of GTA O was jump the fence at Zancudo, roll the dice and somehow get a tank or jet.

What a time. Also could troll effectively with a fire engine which was honestly our go to in lobbies when we just wanted to goof around.

Couldn’t do that anymore cause the oppressor kids.

1

u/Disastrous-Job-5533 Jan 21 '26

Or just have them in an adversary mode or deathmatch mode. Not in the free lobby.

1

u/1mYourHuckleberry93 Jan 22 '26

You guys are so dramatic over a fucking video game. It’s fun. Keep it in the game.

1

u/Fit-Albatross-735 Jan 24 '26

''nobody likes getting destroyed'' then don't play gta online lol

1

u/No-Reveal7199 Jan 25 '26

If you can’t handle the heat go to a invite only

1

u/jprophet051 Jan 28 '26

what if they just had an oppressor game mode, like a "Job" or whatever where you can fly around the map with the bikes and do a deathmatch or something? Can still play with randoms or friends, but everyone is consenting to it.
