Re: Should DB be allowed? - Munch - 09-16-2011
I voted yes. DB is pretty easy to avoid if you at least try, instead of standing there complaining about it. I've always loved fighting with drive-byers.
It's a tactic and a natural part of GTA, it's not gaining an unfair advantage because it's an intentional feature. Obviously things like 2-shot are natural but are an unfair advantage, but that's just an exception.
It's the same as grenades, snipers and any other thing people like to cry about.

LoL 2-shot also gives the same advantage - NO RELOAD?

Okay, fair enough, it has no reload. However that advantage is then lowered by the driver's limited shooting range. Okay the sprays sometimes follow the target but that's easy to avoid.

It's not an advantage if you can drive-by just like everybody else.

If someone is in the water and you're spraying them, is that not an unfair advantage? They can't shoot back until they get on land.

Personally I could care less nowadays, but considering the LVP community's trend (the lamer the better), I'd say no. Yeah, everyone brings up the argument "avoiding a DB is easy", but it's very annoying and distracting if you're fighting someone else and a DBer comes to interrupt the fight (just as annoying as the RC Baron which I never supported).
In that concern I think snipers / naders / RC Baron abusers /etc. are enough laming for LVP, enabling DB would just increase flaming, complaints and Angry German Kids in about eh... 500%
Funniest part is... I was distracted and accidentally voted "Yes". Fuck sake.

Tbh I don't give a shit either, I have always been using the "db hp down and kill 'em on foot" method and always will. There is no written rule against it so I suggest everyone else to do the same, nothing bad will happen. 3-4 years and still kickin'.

db has always been the unique part of gta.
I agree, but it just doesn't work online not on LVP anyway.

Yeah but GTA wasn't designed to be a MP game

I think its dumb to say that db gives you an advantage, i mean, it does but..
Pretty much everything is an advantage unless you´re in fc since you can complaint about the bumps in the road and missed shots due to the palm trees etc, its just bullshit.
