It's not the first time. I'm sure you've encountered it many times. Not a problem in normal mode, but I play in hard mode, so it affects me a lot.

Most times when I call for back up, the back up officers disappear! They come out of their cars, then disappear. In the end, I'm the only guy fighting the armed suspects.

I realizes that during a car pursuit, all the back-ups that I call are marked with a blip on the mini-map and they do NOT disappear at all.

I was wondering if that could be added for the normal back-up that we call during a firefight.

Oh besides, can the backup officers have a shotgun, instead of both using pistols because the shotgun will come in handy as well (like when player gets 2-3 star wanted levels)

Regarding NOOSE, I was hoping that maybe the officers come in groups of 4 instead of pairs in a NOOSE Enforcer truck rather than random NOOSE cruisers or even FIB cars.

Thanks.

About officers disappearing, that may be a system specs issue. If you don't have a good enough system, officers (especially NOOSE/FIB) get aggressively despawned by GTA.
