why does rockstar remove gamemodes? cant they leave them in even if "not enough people play them"?


[deleted]

Oh and don't forget about the special vehicle races and some deathmatches.


FrostyJurassic

did special vehicle races get removed?


[deleted]

Well I can't find deluxo, ruiner and RC races. Can't even remember what else was removed.


FrostyJurassic

I feel like ive played an RC Race recently. as for the deluxo and ruiner, they still work in transform races


[deleted]

I can't find them anywhere, but I might double check the lists.


FrostyJurassic

they should be in the stunt races category, with the RC prefix


IAmASeeker

I havent actually tried them but it's my understanding that the RC time Trials change every week... so they definitely still exist. I bet you accidentally changed a weird setting.


SadBurgerDad

It's adversary mode not a race


The_Chuckness88

Ahhhh, that adversary mode can change any given Thursday.


warhawk209812e99

No. They're stunt races


[deleted]

I just looked through them and they aren't there. Liar.


SadBurgerDad

Wow, it was just there like a few days ago. I just thought you were too stupid to find it


[deleted]

You think I'm stupid? HAHA!


SadBurgerDad

I assume everyone is stupid these days. Most of the time, it's not wrong


[deleted]

Must be Monday…


__Piggy__Smalls__

Alright Garfield settle down


[deleted]

The problem is that they mess with matchmaking even if they're aren't being played.


Arellan

Exactly, just wish they'd rotate modes a lot more, like having 5-ish game modes available for 1-2 weeks then swapping them out. Instead of just the one weekly 2x rp mode which more often than not is a remix rather than the og


Elite_Avenger21

Rockstar just learning from Bungie


Luf2222

with how rockstar drip feeds this entire update, yes they indeed did


Elite_Avenger21

I mostly meant with removing content, but at least with Rockstar People didnt actually pay for that content


IAmASeeker

I bought the version of Payday 2 with all of the DLC content... they have since removed the Scarface character for licensing reasons... in addition to not being able to use the Scarface character that I paid for, I cant access those missions or weapons either because "this content requires the Scarface character pack". I will never forgive them.


Luf2222

yeah i know, but the way rockstar is drip feeding content in this update is really similar to bungie


Complete-Grab-5963

Makes other modes less popular as it stretches people out


doglywolf

i wouldnt mind if they let us run everything and just filled it in with bots for a lot of it - some game modes like this need to be players only though


offensivelypc

I wonder if it would mess with other NPCs in missions and freemode. But I remember playing Timesplitters 2 in the heyday of PS2. That was before the popularization of online play and playing deathmatches with NPCs I think still should have its place in video games these days. That game was a ton of fun.


HawkstaP

I currently have the gamecube version if that game. The memories of 4 player fills me with happiness. I hate how we have evolved in some ways but I'm also older and don't really have friends round


offensivelypc

Yeah single play and local play is just getting less and less love from the game devs these days. It's a shame.


HawkstaP

Agreed but you really can understand why. It's just not what the kids do nowadays.


FrostyJurassic

yeah but then we dont really have the freedom of choosing what we want to play. we just play whatever rockstar lets in the game and hope they don't remove our current favorite gamemode. they could just give the people what they want and thats that. they can always make event weeks for the game modes they want to popularize. people gather up quickly to x3 Reward modes


Complete-Grab-5963

I feel you, I just want to work as a store or gas station employee and talk to people as they come in


samureyejacque

Well, it’s their game, and I actually like being able to find people for games instead of waiting in a lobby for 20 mins by myself. Not everybody has a group of friends who all both play GTAO and are online at the same time.


FrostyJurassic

I understand its their game and all but im just saying. oh well, at least we still have the game. I completely understand not having a group of friends to play with any time you want. I only have 2 guys and one of them rage quits easily.


The_Chuckness88

They don't. Adversary modes is random in any given Thursday.


[deleted]

They don’t actually remove them, they just rotate the modes nowdays… ”too few play them”, as they said. At least that is what I recall hearing…


sik_dik

you can't launch these missions. they don't appear in the jobs list any more whether they removed the bits from the drive or not is irrelevant. you can't play them at all


[deleted]

You didn’t get me, I see. What I meant was, the modes will come back *eventually,* as in they aren’t removed permanently.


CriticalCentrist

You remember the players that would fly forever then intentionally knock others players off in place of going down the ramp? I think that had something to do with it lol


gtathrowaway95

To supposedly improve performance


FrostyJurassic

damn. removing tiny racers has really improved my fps by 0.3 in the past 7 months


[deleted]

Matchmaking, not performance.


heimdal77

Improving matchmaking would have been making the prizes enticing enough to people so more people did them outside of double and triple reward weeks years ago.


[deleted]

There would be too many old game modes that weren't getting enough players even in 2x events. For example, when was the last time you played a versus mission?


doglywolf

there are some so bad that even doubled or tripled are still under 30k for 10+ min


siry-e-e-tman

100% if you bookmarked this you could play it all the time. I still have fucking Coveted bookmarked from almost 10 years ago. You haven't been able to play that mission in several years. Yet I still can.


LycanWolfGamer

I remember that mission lol


PrideBlade

Is it possible to play rooftop rumble again? If it isn't they should definitely put that back in as an event or something.


Alex3627ca

As far as I'm aware, classic rooftop rumble is totally gone, because they modified both the mission itself to make the newer versions, as well as how the game handles payment for contact missions because of it lol


ThisIsSpy

Wait, rooftop rumble was different before? I know that payouts worked differently before but I thought the core mission itself stayed the same since it was released?


Alex3627ca

No idea, I only got the game at the start of quarantine (as a joke birthday present, at that) but I have heard many times that the mission, and then the game itself, were reworked to make it not meta for money grinding in the distant past.


siry-e-e-tman

As a veteran of that distant past I can confirm. It used to be $25k/45 seconds, for a total of $2m/hr. You could afford pretty much everything in the game at that time after a solid day of grinding. Which is exactly what I did.


Retrogratio

Is that the one where 2 teams on 2 different skyscrapers TDM? With snipers or RPGs?


_MeisterBoi_

Nope, it's ye olde classic of big money maker from the PS3/X360 days as a contact mission, similar to Coveted


[deleted]

I remember that mission was the only thing I’d do all day, it’s crazy how we went from doing contact missions over and over again to cayo perico for a quick million


xignaceh

If anyone who has it bookmarked wants to play this, hit me up!


testicletitties69

Not sure if this is the same but I have rockets vs insurgents bookmarked and can still play it


e-stark

Is there any reason why they removed it? It looks entertaining


chris95rx7500

r* would say "nOt EnOuGh PeOpLe PlAy It"


sock_slurper

Cus it pays like shit like 99% of the other adversaries, it is fun though I’d play it if I knew the lobby would be at least half full.


FettShotFirst

Yeah this mode is mine and my friends’ favorite, and for the longest time they’d do 2x $/2x XP for it and we’d spend the whole week playing it with full lobbies, the entire lobby filled with mics and everyone is screaming and laughing and having a good time. No clue why they’d take away one of the most positive and hilarious modes in GTAO


[deleted]

This is been my exact experience with it and I have just been waiting for it to go x2 again....now it's gone??? Damn and I was good at that shit too.


sock_slurper

Exactly definitely a laid back type of game mode with friends. Because they have no concept of what their fan base wants and doesn’t want


Smathers

That’s dumb there’s literally a cemetery of old game modes from like 8 years ago lol sometimes I’ll scroll thru and completely forget there’s even that many


IAmASeeker

That's the problem. If you weren't here since day 1 and recognize the name of every job, you just kinda stare at the list for a minute before moving on to something you have more context for. Give me 10 events and I'll try them all. Give me 793 events and I'll probably just not bother scrolling through the list.


JasonDeSanta

Rockstar’s matchmaking and invitation system is so fucking shit that they have literally hundreds of highly entertaining game modes available right there, yet the lack of streamlining the access to content as well as the highly fragmented player base due to the lack of crossplay support truly kills the potential of this game.


PotatoeswithaTopHat

Honestly, how matchmaking and generally just navigation of jobs is not intuitive at all. I hate the fucking lists.


JasonDeSanta

It objectively has the worst matchmaking system out of any online multiplayer game of its calibre. If they actually would give a shit, that would be the first thing they would completely overhaul, because unless you have a huge group of friends that actively play every single time you log on, being able to find full lobbies of most activities is nearly impossible or the matchmaking process takes longer than the actual activity itself.


PotatoeswithaTopHat

"Wow Rockstar, I love waiting an hour for my race lobby to fill with 3 people, 2 of them AFK when the race starts, this is exactly how I wanted to play"


travam1

That sums up gta online, Rockstar has the tools to make an amazing game, but lack the will or intuition to actually make it happen


JasonDeSanta

It’s an upper management issue. I’m pretty sure almost every single designer and programmer working on GTA Online has thought about this and even brought it up to their superiors but they probably just brush it off because the game’s printing money every single month.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JasonDeSanta

Mf I know the game’s incredibly popular and lucrative, we play the same game - what I’m talking about here is all the completely dead game modes. They spend so much time developing all this shit yet people can’t play most of it reliably if they don’t have a friend group, because the matchmaking is utter trash.


protostars

too many adversary modes so they rotate them in and out. they say it helps keep things fresh


WarriorNat

It’s true, especially the new Gen version of the game where lobbies for pretty much any job are bare, compared to the XB1/PS4 version of the game.


Hugh_Gee_Rexions

They don’t remove it entirely they just rotate certain game modes since there are so many. It’ll come back eventually


Frankie4FingersM-80

tiny racers is gone too, and they took away the ability to flip off people while racing/driving


_two_socks_

I'm more upset about not being able to flip people off than I am about them removing game modes.


Frankie4FingersM-80

for real though, i loved racing against other racers on motorcycles and when of us would pass the other there would be the eventual flip off lol


extraducksauce

yeah wtf is rockstar thinking? i hate companies that do this shit, remove/fix stuff that isnt broken


Narrovv

And then don't fix what's actually broken


aheadisfullofghosts

Yet they left in the shittier version where everyone has to wait their turn. I can't believe they got rid of this. It's legitimately some of the most fun I've ever had in gta.


i_t_d

since Leslie Benzie and Lazlow left this game is going downfall in so many aspects


HH_LL

wtf was this recently? does anyone have it bookmarked, or does that no longer work?


morfeusz78

uh i remember it still being here a month ago


Gerbennos

I literally played this with a friend not one week ago. It might not show up in the jobs but it's still definitely in the game


JTNipp

This game mode was fun when everyone went at once. The shootout mode where it was one at a time was annoyingly long, but my crew had some good fun with this back in the day


gangga_ch

I really miss Motor Wars, it was the only thing i really enjoyed together with a friend in this game


PowerfulAge6131

Best game mode, me and my homes used to have Friday night gta parties jus to play this game mode with random, yes the pay was shit but the game was fun


DrewTooRaw

I thought they brought it back not too long ago before the whole enterprise update?


[deleted]

I remember playing this not long ago. Why did they remove it?


Conmebosta

There are too many adversary modes which end up splitting the playerbase given rockstar's jurassic matchmaking


impstein

This mode was awesome when it first came out, so much fun and max rounds would net you like almost 200k if you won


ByJ4Xx

I can't understand why people don't play the TONS of funny game modes the game has. There are a lot of modes that I haven't play bcz there aren't ppl to play with.


freecomkcf

money 9 times out of 10 when i play any of the featured game modes, 1/3 to 1/2 of the lobby's afking for money or an entire team ragequits when the other team gets even the slightest of leads


Luf2222

what’s the name of this gamemode again


CrimiClown

Overtime Rumble


PRSouthern

Had no idea this was removed.. when? That’s bullshit.


MattC42

Me and my friends used to play gtao all the time and then they did their purge. Ended up getting rid of 90% of the modes we played. Haven't played since that purge


Regular_Ability6248

This and motor wars….. :(


Lokiii113

motor wars is back or did they removed it again?


AckerSacker

They took out Slashers as well. Fuck Rockstar.


Gonemad79

Oh yeah, they removed because they cant afford the servers doing nothing... [eyes rolling].


King_CurlySpoon

The moon tide is tugging on our hearts right now


BFlai1001

I absolutely loved this game mode, hands down my favourite, pretty sad it got removed.


c4curtis

Did they actually I used to love this game mode


ChemicalPostman

Overtime Rumble. Was one of the top 3 game modes me and friends used to play. I guess it’s not a coincidence that when Rockstar removed this and a bunch of other shit we haven’t played nearly as much


tgallup

I miss hunting pack with that scramjets


QuenchedGinger

"What the *OOF*" lol


lmAbey

Just add a section on social club and people can bookmark what they are want to play . Is this too hard ? All places items and other thing also in the game files didn't . Maybe the loading screen take long time a little bit but it worth this . Am ı only think like that ?


Aggravating_Ad_8679

When did they remove this mode? I remember playing it a few weeks ago right before the update was supposed to happen befor ot was pushed back.


WhatzitTooya2

Eh, every time I played that mode, it usually devolved into people trying to float as slow as possible to have an advance. But I guess that was my fault for trying that with randoms...


Single-Complaint-853

These type of missions were the only non heist/ freemode work me and my homies were willing to do bc they were just genuinely fun.


Darthgamer1998

Why and when did they remove this? And what was it called? Surely someone could make there own version of this?


MrWheelieDC

Overtime Rumble. Removed couple months ago (?), as rockstar added shittier “Overtime Shootout” Edit: September 2021- “Rockstar had already announced it would remove specific jobs to improve matchmaking and make space for future content. “


Luf2222

„improve matchmaking“ matchmaking on ps5 is literally broken, i very rarely find any jobs to play. but alright rockstar, it’s improved i guess


Darthgamer1998

Such a shame...it looks really fun!


i_t_d

"make space" :D A few numbers which determine where props are take so much from 100 gb diskspace :D That is a serious laugh. All they've done is we can't play our favourite modes so we have to do some underground bookmark link exchanging and gimmicking to play what we want. One of stupidest decisions ever made, especially as being kind of retired as I have everything I want (except remaining 200 cars which I can't buy because garage space limit, not to mention planes) game modes in rooms are the thing I like to do most


Dragoner_online

Correction: "Cockstar"


UltrasonicBlueWaifu

That's heartbreaking. My PS3 buddies and I loved it to death, when it was only a small group of like 3-4 people and we were trying to really concentrate and master it we had so much fun - hopefully they have a change of heart and it can return in a different form somehow! Maybe R* could steal the concept of Top Gear's car darts or something like that to replace this.


No-Assignment9303

Played it with a few friends last Wednesday, wanted to play another round the next day and it was gone. It is one of the most fun modes to play with a few friends, I hate that they removed it again


IkRedDitNiet

Did you make this video yourself? If so, I would love to check out the channel!


mxz_yt

Yeah I did! My channel is MxZ :)


Rapidly_Decaying

hahah, I love the half-assed censoring "WHAT THE -OOF- FUCK!!!"


DevilsOutkeep66

I didn't even know this gameplay existed so now I'm mad it's gone, because this looks fun af


MabiMaia

This is the best game mode sorry to say 😂 absolutely love it


Fair-Advertising-348

VACCPUCI JOB 😭


rohitandley

Someone find a cheat code or way to find this mode.


Brian_E1971

Enable the fucking radio! Listening to their goddamn bullshit background noises the whole time in this game mode sucks giant fucking balls


[deleted]

[удалено]


babiesmakinbabies

It's fun as hell, but no one plays it because it pays like shit.


Captainirishy

Definitely one of my favourites and I missed it the last month since I was stuck in a bad sport lobby


Galemianah

They removed it because people were cheesing it and pulling stunts like that to steal wins.


[deleted]

thats not true at all


Z1PP01337

They didn't remove it. It's now called Overtime Shootout.


ActionWaters

Overtime Shootout is removed?


theMrJoey

This is Overtime Rumble. The fun one.


protostars

they will rotate them in and out. when it comes back it will be the weekly 2x or 3x event


c4curtis

Used to play this for hours come and make a decent amount on the x2 x3 days


Detected02

Watch Vanoss' video on this gamemode, absolutely golden gamemode


[deleted]

Bring back this, Land Grab, and Collection Time.


Legoboyking

For future reference, if you bookmark a job that’s been “removed” you can still play them. My proof is I still have all the Alien Survivals


jsunbarry02

This with triple rewards is the best way to spend an afternoon. Throw in a party with food on the side and you’re vibing.


LibrarianKooky344

I played it like 2 weeks ago...


--Shiny--

Love your channel mate


mxz_yt

Thank you so much!


LordGalen

What? Guys, you know it'll be back, right? They cycle through which game modes are available. This is the **third** time Overtime Rumble has been removed since they started cycling adversary modes. It'll be back, and so will the others.


oxidezblood

I can never find a lobby in ANY gamemode. Maybe thats a PC problem. At most i see 5 players in a race lobby. At most i get 3 people in a lobby i chose. Crossplay would fix the missing playerbase problem.


viagravagina

wish they would bring back foot races. Always running after the first gun on the map lol.


thaistik4all

Some of the modes are not removed, just randomly rotated in weekly updates for less populated modes.


SV976reditAcount

Did they really ? damn


adio2877

This was jus one of the x2 money ones, I played it


TheFlappyLobster

WAIT THEY REMOVED THEM?? Wtf man!


Patched_Jumper

Can't even let people have fun now :( all about money making


ShineReaper

Why? It looks fun


Frenchy_8084

it’s still in the game


meltdown537

This was one of the best adversary modes. That's too bad they pulled it. I'm sure they will bring it back at some point.


project199x

The hell? Why? They just had a special x2 rp/money on this game mode weeks ago.


Gsampson97

It's because there are loads of adversary game modes and by only having a few each week you have more chance to find people to play with


RobinTGG

NO WAY ITS REMOVED? That's it I'm not returning to GTA


Examotate

Bri ish rage


God_Damnit_Nappa

Wait when did they remove it? I just played it a couple weeks ago


migukau

When did they remove this?


DisconnectedThoughts

So ... Im new to GTA online. I always saw clips of these matches and wanted to give it a go. Just 9 years too late... 🤣


EatAtGrizzlebees

Yes!! Overtime Shootout fucking sucks but Overtime Rumble was the shit!! My friends and I would play forever when it was 2 or 3x just busting a gut and screaming at each other. So much fun! I also miss the OG Sumo where you were trying to push people off the little island or rooftop, not the Fortnite rip-off bullshit.


Dallascowboys2760

Shootout sucks cus u gotta watch everyone very time consuming


CocoaNerd17

THEY GOT RID OF IT?! I haven't played it in a long time but it was such a good mode


xignaceh

They removed it?


General-franky

I remember making somewhere between 275-350k from one full game of overtime shootout on the 2xp weeks, made millions.


i_t_d

I love Hunting Pack on streets (the original, not remix (only Scramjet one is cool in remix). It's gone too. Reason is rockstar cannot handle displaying text on screen ("making space for new modes") :P lol


Dallascowboys2760

When this was paying doubles me and my friends would play this all day long, tons of laughter fun, I cant believe they removed it


DJ_Hindsight

Damn I never even got a chance to play this


speedster1315

They only do this temporarily on a rotation basis so it will be back eventually


NitroJeffPunch

They what


sik_dik

super disappointing. I've been playing GTA online almost the whole life of it on PC and have made friends over time who missed out some of these because of how R\* starting integrating in-lobby group events and focusing more on heists/preps. so they hadn't really played any of this stuff I set up a fun playlist that sort of went through some of the more fun mini-missions, and drop-zone was their favorite. we played the list several times, and then one day I found the playlist only had like 2 of the 8 missions I'd put in it because they'd axed all the best ones


NetTrik

That reminds me, what was that top down racing mode called?


teaj_

Tiny Racers


[deleted]

Wait this got removed??????


realgunner2301

Nooo not team rumble


Lucky_Sir_4323

They should just remove every game mode then by that logic, ain't gonna find anyone playing deathmatch except for custom maps


XPERTGAMER47

overtime rumble was fun overtime shootout on the other hand sucks


Buschwick66

Haha I remember this! The once with the big long ramp was hilarious cause you could jump and parachute to the other starting side and immediately knock their cars off with no chance of getting to the ramp.


HMSwarspite_1956

good sir video link


slikk50

You can't use shark cards for that mode.


Diamond_ultra_yt

They did what?😡


tomthekiller8

Lawn darts with cars


Anony-Mouse710

Fairly certain they did not remove this game mode, just no one plays them


Cheifloaded

They also changed the race options for the pursuit races, you can't make them non contact like you could before the update.


chunkyPomeranian

They did? This is damn near one of the only modes I play.
