Anyone else tried this out yet?
I like the idea, but i find that:
a) it's only balanced at 3 players (2 cops, 1 runner), other player counts just give an advantage to one side
b) the issi classic is an atrocious car choice. I get that rockstar likes game types where people get thrown all about, but it's hugely frustrating for the runner to be sent a quarter mile every time they get hit. And the car is entirely too slow. it is incapable of getting up hills, which wouldn't be a problem if most of the maps weren't in the center of the city, with tons of hills.
I had a lot of fun with it at 3 players, but when the lobby got to 4 it started to be a drag. What do you guys think of it?

Seems neat. Not something I'd regularly play though.

Just do what me and my friends do:
Get drags kings of los santos - 3 people in custom duke of deaths, one in a stock blade (crumples like paper) - see how quickly they can reach the finish. So much fun.
Also works with luring a random into the lobby too if they are a low level. Its surprising that they don't just leave immediately!

Update: you can use a custom issi classic. If the runner has one, they basically just win. Why, rockstar?

It's a shame that you can't put mr. Been's chair on the roof

I'm sure it depends on who you play it with but in around 10 games I always found it fairly easy to win as the issi even against 3 cops

good idea however it lacks random qwerks. Its too predictable. The checkpoints should be more spread out and less of them or more time. Also, I feel that the respawn feature is just why. Not realistic at all...

I think it's surprisingly fun, but like many of R* Adversary modes, you try it a few times and then never come back to it. I did maybe 3 games of it in total, always 3v1 and no one that was in the Issi Classic was able to win, so yeah it needs indeed some balance I think.

I've been playing lately and it's hilarious. It goes to my favourite modes list.

Tested it several times...in my opinion it's a fun Adversary mode to play from time to time.
But as indicated by jorge81, sadly things quickly get boring/frustrating. Seems a little unbalanced depending on how many players and/or custom issi classic is available or not.

Its somewhat fun, if a little too long.
With a stock Issi I was able to win more often than I lost as the Issi against 3 cops, although I did find that over all the cops won most of the time.
Stock Issi against 2 cops, the cops never stood a chance.
Custom Issi against 3 cops seems pretty well balanced in my experience, although a competent driver will have an advantage in the Issi, but then the whole point of Adversary modes is that they are not balanced.
As for the respawn? It is a must have. Unless you want to spend 10 minutes doing nothing when your Issi gets boxed in on all four sides by three cop cars and a wall.
I do think it might be more fun with bigger teams, say 9 v 3 or something.

I think that in that scenario where the Issi is blocked in, it should be a round win for the cops. On the flip side, in order to keep it balanced, the issi should not appear on the map after it has distanced itself from cops. Anyway this mode is fun as a runner and challenging as a cop, especially if there is 2.

Started out fun, but I'm pretty done with it already. Perhaps with a different runner car, it would be balanced with 3 cops. Like the Ruiner. That's a proper runner-car.

I am still having fun and it's still good money while the 2x lasts. A Ruiner would be dominant in almost all drivers hands. It's too good. I have no suggestions to make it different or better. |
