PAYDAY 2

hey guys, couple of questions.

I have only watched 3 game play videos so far as I do not have a beta key.

Will the game always have the ugly easy mode ability to see your team mates through walls, plus the bottom of your screen showing a hud of all your team mates and what life they have left? Or can you customise this to show zero information, which would mean actually using communication over Team Speak for example to find out what your team mates are doing etc.

Second point, 2 of out the 3 game play videos I watched the cops were called and then what appeared to be SWAT came in. Is there a way to set the bullet damage to realistic? From what I could see one of the guys was able to take about 35-45 hits without any effect on aim/speed etc. Not to mention it just seemed stupid.

It would be nicer if instead of SWAT swarming the building going completely gun ho, they instead surrounded the area and gradually poked at your weak spots to gain entry, or tried to call you down instead of risking the lives of hostages, which would never happen.

Thanks.
 
It's not really about realism tbh. More of an arcade type shoot em up. There's enemies above SWAT level which take even more bullets lol.

Seems like a missed opportunity mate. I love the idea of executing various heists with friends online. Maybe due to playing more "Hardcore" shooters recently.

Arma 2/3 and RO2 but all that clutter on the screen was disgusting. Something I would expect to see on the 360 but not PC.

I think the mission would be far more rewarding if being caught in the open with a cop getting the drop on you meant game over.
 
It's still very easy to mess up and die particularly when you up the difficulty for more monies. It does however get annoying the amount of times you have to shoot some of them to kill them, even headshots on the higher level enemies don't seem to be 1 hit kills. It is fun but if you're after realism this is the opposite end of the scale.
 
Will gift you the BETA invite when I get home about 5pm CAI. Just leave your steam name here.

I like realism as much as anyone but this is still wicked fun when things go your way, will be hammering it tonight and tomorrow if you are around, will sit in the MISC gaming room on ts3 so just jump in when ready.
 
The only reason the cops take so much damage is because they are robocops, only faster, smarter, more durable and more accurate. Dunno what you're on about with somebody being shot 35 times, that's impossible even on normal, 7 or 8 shots = dead from full health and armor. Maybe they were robbing a kids piggybank and he was getting shot by a BB gun?

Check this video out and watch how many times he gets dinked on the roof.

Ah yeah, but they weren't cumulative shots they were spaced over several minutes, you have armor that regenerates (the white circle around your health) so if you take cover as it's about to run out and recharge it you'll never lose any health, but if you got shot when caught out from cover, the A.I. will rinse you with aimbot accuracy and take you down in 6-7 shots. Shotguns are 2 shot kills at close range, and there are loads of special units like tazers, shields and bulldozers that can kill you in one hit.

Yes it has "ugly mode". I have no idea why there is no option to turn it off but random people will do there own thing so even if they ignore the chat console or in-game voip at least you know where they are.

They could have been playing on easy mode or had ballistic vests on. But on the higher difficulty modes I'd love to see anyone sponge 5 bullets never mind 35-45.

From one of the videos posted a dev, they said that the more aggressive your team is(killing civilians,cops etc),the more aggressively will the police attack(including calling snipers etc).So if you limit the amount of kills the police might not attack you so aggressively

Thanks.
