The new major policy seems kind of unnecessary. I like the 1km kill zone but the need to negotiate is a waste of time imo. We almost never take hostages to majors and every single one we have done goes like this.
Cops - Ill give you 100 meters free passage to leave right now so nobody gets hurt.
Us - Let us finish the robbery and then give us 100m free passage.
Cops - I cant do that
Us - Okay I'm afraid we will have to call negotiations off.
Literally every single time. There is no room to negotiate when you dont have hostages because the cops have no reason to give you anything and we have no reason to budge because if we do we simply quit the major and get into a chase for nothing.
