    you do realize that kind of behavior is usually a one way ticket to a sort of ban or something... Right?

    I mean, you're clearly exploiting a bug.

    I'm on 360, yeah. Its only available in Offline Crime.net, evidently. I've never done it before today, but its my day off and none of my friends are around, so I was just cruising around YouTube, looking for easy jobs to solo. This strategy was pretty much the first thing I saw. Its almost certainly unintended, and will likely be patched. But I wouldn't imagine its worth a ban; the only advantage it has over a 35 second Ukrainian Job is that I don't have to search Crime.net between each game. And like Holi said, its a coop game, so its not like it provides me with some ridiculous advantage that ruins everyone else's fun.

    Honestly, I'm just doing it for the cards. I'm level 57 and I still haven't seen a single Long Barrel or Ergo Grip mod. The loot system in this game is goddamn infuriating. Just let me spend some of this money I've accumulated. Make each mod cost 5 million dollars if you want. Given the obscene amount of cash I have on hand, that'd be a preferable alternative at this point.

    Okay, so I just switched out of Mastermind for the first time ever. I went Enforcer with Reinfield / Loco, and like, fucking wow. This is so much fun. Toss in Juggernaut armor, and I'm pretty much death on legs. Quick question about shotguns, though: I know that with Silent Killer Aced, these two shotguns actually gain a damage increase while suppressed. Is the damage increase greater than the amount you'd gain from using Shark Teeth instead of the Suppressor, though?

    I think it would be awesome if you could opt to NOT bring a primary weapon with you, to keep your visibility down. Why bring an assault rifle if you're trying to be all ghosty?

    I cannot agree with this enough. Or use a secondary (SMG) as a primary.

    Honestly, long guns (including SMGs) shouldn't be concealable period. I wish there was a way you could bring a primary, and leave it at the van, and have a teammate bring the sack of guns for everyone to load up with once the shit hits the fan.

    SMG's and the loco should totally be takable as primaries.

    Also BO 2 is made harder because some of the burnable intel on Day 1 make it easier. Cheifly the Airplane keys that mean you don't have to wait for the chopper to come back.

    Some interesting hints at coming talent changes:
    "I hate the reload cancel right at the end of the animation. Maybe sprinting while reloading could be implemented?"

    I would love to see AP ammo, ammo choices, or a distraction asset that delays the cops first assault. The offset is expense.

    SMGs should be concealable, since you can make those things pretty tiny. Honestly, they should force any weapon over a given concealability stat to be "open carried" with the option to bag it. Then rejigger the visibility stat so that weapons nearing the limit (like a bulky SMG) bump up your rating quickly.

    SMGs should also be choosable as a primary or secondary, since that would give them actual utility.

    I have a lot of ideas for this game. Maybe a 'More Hardcore' mode with better payouts. Ideas include but are not limited to:

    Armor should not auto repair (or repair MUCH slower)
    Armor should make you massively spot-able and make everyone suspicious (bringing long guns or armor to the Meth swap should alert the gang members)
    Long guns should make you massively spot-able and make everyone suspicious
    There should be MORE random AI pedestrians (they should walk in and out of the bank, bank front doors should be closeable/lockable)
    More barricade options
    Weapons bag (Maybe enforcer skills to improve speed of movement with it?)
    More maps and map randomization
    Armored car or 18 wheeler hits
    Home invasions

    Those Armour ideas are kinda pointless.

    Slowing armour regen usually doesn't make the game particuarly harder, it just slows down the pace and forces more conservative play.

    There's a reason visibility works the way it does now as well, the way you've put it the only way to be low vis would be a suit with a pistol, anything else would immediately be hi-vis. Which is just dull and binary.

    Civilians walking in and out of locations among other things should absolutely be something that happens while stealthing higher difficulties though, the fact that difficulty only applies as a punishment for failure in stealth is lame.

    I wish there was a way to reduce the chance to get mods you already have. I hate having two Crosskill longslides when I only have 1 Crosskill (and only plan on having one).

    Or maybe a cash in (for money) or trade system.

    It forces everyone to choose and stick with a role rather than being able to pretend to be a bank customer while wearing 20 lbs of armor. I would make the more concealable vest have less visibility to allow for more combinations of loadout. And/or add more vests that give you decent protection while still staying low on the visibility radar.

    4 masks, 2 patterns, 3 materials, and 6 colors in about 40 hours played (according to steam which does include a bunch of idle time).

    Unfortunately none of the patterns (question mark and triple crown) look good on any of my masks.

    I do have an infamous mask, but it's the regular Wolf mask. :( Besides that I have the monkey, zombie, and undead.

    More ideas:

    Armors should be classified as soft or hard. Each would provide different levels of protection against different types of attacks. Also depending on the vest, it would be concealable or not (determines visibility).

    Soft armor would protect against pistol caliber (not .44 mag or .50DE) and buckshot. Hard armor would provide more protection against pistol calibers but also give protection against rifle and shotgun slugs.

    Different ammo types should be mods for 12ga shotguns. Stock is buckshot. Upgraded types could be:

    Magnum (buckshot with more pellets and more recoil)
    Slug (single massive damaging round and more recoil)
    Rubber (incapacitating but not killing and less recoil)
    Buck-n-ball (half sized slug with half the number of pellets - see Winchester PDX rounds in 12ga).

    What you're suggesting seems like players would either go low visibility and be completely fucked if things go wrong (essentially requiring a restart) or going high visibility and not even attempting stealth. That doesn't sound the least bit fun to me.

    Thats pretty much how it works now isn't it?

    As a stealth player, I typically don't wear armor. My teammates usually do but they can't play the stealth role that I can. I'm also suggesting adding or modifying armors to give more options/combinations of loadouts. Like a light concealable vest or a heavy one and both these would be considered soft armor (maybe hard armor for the heavier one). Also consider movement speeds and stamina drain.

    I also think this wouldn't work out unless you were allowed to have the rifle bag which means you aren't including your rifle as something that makes you very noticeable. This way you can get close with medium armor, but if things go wrong, a buddy brings the hardware for the fight and you still maintain some protection.

    Basically we need more options.

    Actually managed to properly stealth mall now without the cops ever being alarmed. Sometime during the glass breaking two civies spawned on the lower floor and started screaming. Luckily I managed to actually shoot them this time rather than having them call the cops. Sumanai and Spoit helped me break all the windows for the achievement which is appreciated since it is a lot of damn glass.

    Those ghost buffs sound pretty tasty. A fast moving class able to shred enemies through armor is very appealing and gives them a role if things go to shit or if we're doing Watchdogs/Rats. Combining that with Mastermind or some other class's weapon buffs could lead to neat combos like Enforcers with armor piercing shotguns. :D

    Ghost AP rounds sound neat, but to be honest they seem more like a weapon mod sort of thing instead of a skill. Maybe make them weapon mods (Magnum = more damage and recoil, AP = reduced damage but ignores armor and shields, Slug = 1 projectile, increased accuracy and damage, MUCH increased recoil, Sabot = AP+Slug, Incendiary = light dudes on fucking fire) but only make it possible to refill those rounds from an ammo bag?

    EDIT: Finally decided to shuffle some points around to get Smooth Talker, Dominator Aced, Shinobi Aced and Cleaner Aced (and subsequently solo'd Framing Frame, holy shit that was awesome even though it took like 3 hours). Does Dominator Aced really increase domination power, though, or is it just shout range like the Steam Skills Guide says? Had to give up Iron Man Aced to fit everything together and those 3 points for Dominator Aced could give it right back.
