RC minigames

Just as the subject says. I don't think this needs explaining. RC cars, heli's, and tank minigames! woooot!

Wouldn't work out very well, in my opinion.
The tanks go very fast for their size, and don't really shoot.
The RC cars are okay, so I could definitely imagine a race with them.

The tanks are indeed pretty crappy, some of the other RC vehicles have some potential though. I can't think of any concrete ideas, but just to say something, the planes and helis can quite easily be modified to be able to drop bombs.
As for the RC cars, maybe racing with them could be fun with a classic top-down view, if that's possible? :P

A helicopter that drops bombs?
That's ten times better than sex.

Well, here's the thing. As Pugwipe said, the heli's and planes CAN be modified to drop bombs. In single player there is a few missions that do just that.

A simple game for the heli's would be to have an arena. All over this arena have a bunch of exploding barrels, maybe diffrent colors (say red for 5 points, blue for 10, and yellow for 15). Each player has a set ammount of bombs they can drop, and must return to the starting point to pick up new bombs. The red barrels would be closest, blue a little further, and yellow the furthest. (maybe even change those barrels to the tanks that you guys hate so much  :P)

All this is VERY possible. In one of the single player mission you have to get your tank (which drives along the road by itself) to the other side. In its way are road blocks. You as the heli driver have to blow up these road blocks up, and return to the starting point to pick up new bombs each time. EDIT:I almost forgot. You also have to pick up small bridges and place them over rivers for your tank to cross!

As for the tanks, they CAN be slowed down. I agree they are very fast, and since they don't shoot anything, they are pretty much worthless (unless you have a game that blows them up  >:))

My question is, could the RC planes be retrofitted with the guns from the Rustler (the spitfire look-a-like plane that shoots machine guns)???? That would make for an awsome minigame as those RC planes arent the easiest thing to fly.

A minigame where tanks have to get from A to B, whilst being attacked?

Also, the planes have rustler-style-machine-guns I thought?

Do they? I havn't played with them in a while, so I don't remember.

yeeeaaaaaah. Have random bombs dropping while players race from A to B. If the tanks are slowed down to a crawl the arena wouldn't have to be that big. Maybe the arena from the mission I was talking about before could be pulled and placed somewhere in LVP.

You can add weapons to vehicles.
Or, at least to normal vehicles. I've played on some MTA DM servers, don't know which gametype it was, but they added a minigun or a rocket launcher to the vehicle.

And you could use the interior which is used for the RC missions on the single player, where you need to fly with the RC Heli.
A nice interior for bombing missions :P
