Official GTA: San Andreas Thread

[VJW]

Nah, what happened is that my PS2 started clicking and that caused some scratches on the SA disc which makes it useless. This has happened before but I've finally decided that I'm gonna buy a new PS2. There's not fucking way that I'm gonna allow any more games get ruined. I'll get the slim PS2 which will probably work better than the old version that I got 2 years ago. Too bad I've fallen behind everybody else on this thread now though.

EDIT

What he said:)

[el fregadero]

So did you beat it or not, DS?

[House of Pancakes]

<font color=goldenrod>Alright, so far I've finished the missions for Sweet, Cesar, Ryder, Smoke, and OG Loc. That leaves me with the C.R.A.S.H missions as my only option now, and despite doing all those missions I still only have just over $3000.</font> :mad:

In San Fierro, you start to get lots of cash per mission. I remember working for Woozie in San Fierro and getting $8,000, $11,000, and $15,000 for his missions.

[Disturbed316]

Just did the Green Sabre mission and ended up in the middle of nowhere :mad:

I love that mountain :love: I opened my parachute abit too late on one decent, went splat right into the side of the mountain :D

[Hired Hitman]

I heard that the gang wars is easier to take over a Ballas area than a Mexican Vagos area, but I find the Vagos to be easier to beat, probably they drop the ammo I use on them... I am a hitman with the SMG and AK-47 :cool:

[Disturbed316]

Yeah, the Ballas are pretty easy, its only when they come in massive groups from 3 different directions that it can get abit tricky.

[t-man]

I have milions of bucks.(Thanks to a cheat code). :D

[Disturbed316]

Whats the point in cheating?

[el fregadero]

I have a little over one million (like 1,000,436) that I got from the off track betting thing. Still don't think I should have done that, but it's too late now.

[Y2Ant]

Haha, I just beat OG Loc's missions (mad easy) and the Crash missions, that last one ruled, after clearing out the warehouse, that russian guy wouldnt die (he was too close to lock on to, and when he got far enough he ran so i couldnt reach him with gunfire) so I stole his banshee before he could get in it, and ran him over :cool:

[Disturbed316]

Just learned martial arts :cool:

Where exactly is the flight school? I went to the airport in Los Santos and couldn't find it and also the one in the other place.

[DS]

It's not at an airport. You'll get a mission where you have to take it.

Also, I just finished it. :cool:

[Disturbed316]

Ah righto.

[road doggy dogg]

Man. I have been working too much to play a whole lot lately. :mad: 11-4 today, going back in for 5-8 too :'(

I started the driving school thing too. A lot of crazy shit there. That alley-oop thing, wtf. Never gonna do one of them outside of the actual school :o

[Y2Ant]

Just started the gang war/territory thing, mad fun, plus lots of cash/weapons/skillz

[Hired Hitman]

I love the gang wars :love:

I miss Los Santos :(

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>That Reuniting the Families misison = :drool:

Then I did the next mission, and I've decided that I need to start killing some people to buy property closer to the Badlands. I'll be damed if I'm gonna go from The Hood all the way to the Badlands between every mission.</font> :mad:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fuck me I'm an idiot. :o

Went ALL the way back to my safe house (which is now bombarded with Ballas), saved, then went ALL the way back to the Badlands (crashing my car into the water in the process, forcing me to swim/run for about 5 miles), only to find there was a save point right near the next mission. :o

Ahg well, that mini-decathalon helped moved my maximum health up at least.</font>

[Dragon]

How do you take over gang territory and start gang wars and all that stuff?

[DS]

Once you get the mission to start taking them over, you just go to the other color territories and shoot a couple rival gang members. If you haven't had the mission yet then you can't do it.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm fucking hating the Badlands thus far.</font> :(

[el fregadero]

On that Project Black mission. Gonna beat the game tonight. :shifty:

[DS]

I've won $11,996,029.00 gambling. :)

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Starting to get more accustomed to the Badlands now. I love how almost everybody tearasses through the main roads. :cool:

Still having problems finding certain places though. I've basically resorted to ditcching my cars and just running/swimmingin the direction of where I'm going. :o

Still have 2 more Catalina missions left, which I won't be able to get to until tomorrow.</font>

[road doggy dogg]

Dammit, I'm stuck on this one mission. The one where you first meet Jizzy B or whatever. I get to the part where I hve to chase the limo and the SUV or whatever, and have to take them out. What's the best way to do it? I've tried driving alongside them and pelting them with my guns, but that does like nothing. I've tried ramming htem to flip them over, but I end up destorying my own vehicle instead :mad: Hook it up :'(

[Drakul]

I'm not that far yet but maybe if you drive ahead of them and get out your car and wait.Then when he passes,shoot his gas tank.Its worth a shot.

[Boondock Saint]

Stupid dance off at the beach. I hate these shitty things. :mad:

[el fregadero]

That dance off was so easy.

[Boondock Saint]

lol. That's what I've been reading, and that's why it pisses me off even more.

[Hired Hitman]

RDD What I did was take out the SUV first with a drive by SMG, then I p.i.t. turned (or whatever it's called at the driving school :mad: ) the limo and drive by'd it.

you know The P.I.T. move right? It is when you ram the back left/right causing the car to spin and stop, the police do it alot, so it is a good thing to use in this case ;)

[Hired Hitman]

Is there any place to upgrade my breathmeter, like a swimming school or something?

swimming in the ocean takes forever and I want to work for woozie, he is the man.

hmm... I just got the phone off Jizzy... so I am going to go play it again.

<font color=goldenrod>I just stay above water when swimming and rapidly press the X button, he doesn't seem to ever slow down for me.</font>

Go to Ammu-Nation, buy an SMG. Now do drive-bys.

Just dive under water a couple times and swim around and when it upgrades 2 times then stop. Maybe you only have to do it once but when I upgraded mine twice it let me continue the missions.

[Jonster]

My friend's sending me my memory card back today (forgot to bring it home with me), so I might actually start playing it again tomorrow or Thursday :o
Turns out he forgot to post it, and only remembered when I just mentioned about the post man turning up late in the afternoon.

He's gone to post it now, however this means I won't be able to play for any decent length of time for another 2 weeks, due to work, university, and using my free days next week to go away.

Anyway give me sympathy for not being able to play it. :'(

[Mr. Monday Morning]

fucking gang wars, soon as I go on a date fucking Grove Street gets invaded and I get mown down :mad:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, that happens to me to. Pretty sure it's meant to happen at that point (because the girl encourages you to kill them and she enjoys it and whatnot).</font>

[Hired Hitman]

I passed a whole lot of missions today, I exported some cars did zero's missions, bought the showroom, did those missions (I loved the one where you and caesar steal two cars from the second floor of another showroom, it was like 2 Fast 2 Fierro :shifty: )


I have done the mission for Woozie where it starts off in a heli flying over the ship... I love that mission.. Except one thing ofcourse :mad: so much money wasted :( ... anyway, I have been modding the sports cars and daaaamn :eek: they look great, However when I put three in my Garage near the car showroom they went from paint job to just plain white :| I guess I should only put two custom cars in there and a bike or something.

Speaking of bikes, does anyone know a spawning place for BMX's, Mountain Bike's? (other than on the top of the mountain)

[House of Pancakes]

I think I'm gonna take some time to do some side missions in San Fierro. I'll try the Boating School, and if someone can tell me where the import/export garage is, I'll do that, too.

[Hired Hitman]

Easter basin, on the docks above the airport, you must do the mission where you steal the car from the docks first though.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I managed to finish the Wu Zi Mu race within the first couple of tries (since everyone else seemed to have shit cars and I cheated like a 5 year old by cutting corners every chance I got (including going all the way around the farm and picking up the checkpoint rather than performing the jump since I could never get enough hangtime to clear the jump). :o

I'm actually right in the middle of the Farewell, My Love race. The game is paused while I'm in 1st now after the first 8 or so checkpoints. I'm afraid to look behind me cause they could be right on my ass. :o

Gotta hope that I'll be taking the right route by going around the farm again (the course is in reverse but there may be too many barns and shit in the way).</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>FUCKING BULLSHIT

I had a miracle MASSIVE lead crossing the bridge (about 7 checkpoints away from winning), and the fucking sunlight caused me to lose direction and drive my ride into the water.</font> :| :mad: :foc:

[Xero]

All the back road races are hard as hell... Especially because of the fucking dust that flies and it's hard to see... Then there's that fucking sun... It took me a few tries on each...

[Optik]

The flying school makes me wanna throw my playstation out the window...

[House of Pancakes]

Easter basin, on the docks above the airport, you must do the mission where you steal the car from the docks first though.

Is it on the map? I've done every San Fierro mission strand except for Zero's, so I should have it. I'm in the desert working at Toreno's ranch right now.

[Y2Ant]

fucking gang wars, soon as I go on a date fucking Grove Street gets invaded and I get mown down :mad:
Yeah I wanna get on with Sweet's next batch of missions, but I don't wanna lose all my territories that I worked for. :mad:

I took all the purples stuff, so they only have a small area near the Marina now.

[RoXer]

Fucking, I'm almost done. I'm at last mission (I think) and it's pretty fucking hard. I'd put it in black text, but it might tempt you guys.

[RoXer]

FUCK! THIS MISSION IS SHIT!

[Hired Hitman]

Well That must mean it is hard to pass, which is great :cool: Nobody likes an easy ending.

anyway I am now working for Woozie in the red dragons casino, good times with that guy I had to scare :D

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Just did the mission where I had to take snapshots of the 4 guys' faces.</font>

[RoXer]

Just beat it. I am highly dissappointed. Lemme watch the credits and I wil elaborate.

[RoXer]

Just beat it. I am highly dissappointed. Lemme watch the credits and I will elaborate.

[RoXer]

That was terrible. Utterly terrible. I must be getting too good at GTA games or some shit. I didn't even use an FAQ for this game. On GTA III, I did what I could before I used a 100% completion FAQ. Vice City I followed a 100% FAQ all the way through whic, I found out, is definitly not the way to play one of these games. So I decided to do what I could again before I use one (at the moment I am 62% complete).

I dunno, I guess with all this hype about more missions I got this thought in my head that this game would never end. Unfortanetly, it did.

The last mission only took me one and a half trys. After failing it the first time, I thought I would have to do the whole thing over. But, I saved it and it sends you to the begining of the firetruck chase. So, that's nice.


Now, onto taxi missions and hidden horeshoes and whatnot.

[road doggy dogg]

Nice, suck your own dick some more why don't ya.

[RoXer]

I think I shall.

[AareDub]

:lol: I had a bit of fun earlier taking a boat up on short towards Las Venturas (haven't unlocked it yet). Hijacked a slow ass truck and tried to make it to the city. I got about half way when my truck was overturned conveniently next to a motorbike. I made it about another 1/4 of the way before I was finally knocked off my bike and off a cliff, falling to my death. I just wanted to see if I could get to the city without dying, I got close but I'll have to try again tomorrow.


On a side note, I find Woozie's missions hilarious. I was :rofl: when he ran into the wall.

[RoXer]

It gets better when you find the two fake chips. I was laughing for like 5 minutes.

[Hired Hitman]

Yeah, "I am just feeling out the place". or something.

anyway I am ... still at the casino, I have just been modding uranus... :lol: :$... awesome artwork :cool:

[Hired Hitman]

I just passed the "key to her heart" mission, I got a dildo as a weapon :rofl:

[Drakul]

Yeah you get it in the *highlight to read*police shower also.

[Hired Hitman]

:rofl: :rofl:

[Hired Hitman]

Yeah, Woozie is the man, I just stole the bank van with the chopper and I think that is enough gta for a few hours.

I love how the army helicopter has a bazooka-like aim while in first-person, it helps with aimming missiles and gunfire :cool:

[Disturbed316]

I've been playing this game too much, I've started to have dreams about it :o:$

[AareDub]

Something strange just happened. I was just killing time before work by driving around on my motorbike looking for ramps and such. In other words I wasn't doing any missions or anything. After a while my weapon icons, and the white parts of the map, all turned pink. It wasn't a really bright pink, but it was very noticeable. Everything in the pause screen was still white so it wasn't like a problem with the cables or anything. Did I miss something, is this supposed to happen for a certain reason? Has it happened to anybody else?

[Hired Hitman]

No Idea, the Skyline in LV is pinkish... it might have been glare or something.


anyway, I just passed "green goo" I got my hopes up when I had to break into that base :'(

[AareDub]

No Idea, the Skyline in LV is pinkish... it might have been glare or something.

It happened in San Fierro during the daytime. I still dunno wtf it was :?:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm stuck on that gay mission where you have to save Mike Toreno. :mad:

I can save him and everything on time, but the stupid cops always manage to blast my shit in and block the path the Pay 'n Spray and when my car goes into flames all 3 of us leave but Toreno doesn't move his stupid self away from the flaming vehicle.</font> :|

[House of Pancakes]

Flight School fucking sucks.

[Savio]

I hate "Farewell, my love....."!

[TheNamelessOne]

Flight School fucking sucks.
Damn fucking right.

The barrel roll fucking killed me. Every time I turn the plane over it flops all over the place and crashes into the godamn airfield.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>OMFG. I did the mission where you have to kill Jizzy. So I picked up the phone and talked. And then JUST as CJ was hanging up the phone, a cop fucking shot me. I died, and they said I failed the mission.</font> :| :wtf:

[el fregadero]

That stupid thing in the Vertical Bird mission took me forever to learn how to handle it properly. :mad:

[Optik]

Flight school is ruining the game for me...

[Hired Hitman]

I hate "Farewell, my love....."!
You know that you can tilt the camera upwards, right?

You see over the dust that way.

[Requiem]

Jesus Christ, you must suck ass at this game completely if you can't get past flight school.. I did it at a friend's house and got everything in either one or two tries.

[VJW]

Fuck the game froze right after I finished a Jizzy mission. It took a while since that fucko T Bone had trouble getting out of the water when I drove into the bay. Good thing the signal crap was already done. Can't wait for flight school. Maybe I'll be good since I'm good at FS.

[VJW]

It's required if you wanna gain 100% but I don't believe it'll help advance through the main story. Tenpenny missions seem to be the most important.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Is robbing money from the courier a requirement to advance in the Main Story Missions/required for 100%, or is it just an excuse to get more cash?

Because everytime Cesar calls me about it, I respond negatively because I want to do something else and/or can't be bothered to go all the way back to the Badlands.</font>

[Hired Hitman]

side mission.

[el fregadero]

It's required if you wanna gain 100% but I don't believe it'll help advance through the main story. Tenpenny missions seem to be the most important.
Flight School? You have to do it to advance.

[Hired Hitman]

I am up to Grove 4 Life, Sweet keeps getting ran over by a car :mad:

What aircraft you get from the ship = :eek:

I landed it in Grove street, it a symbol of what Grove street is, a force to be feared :cool:

[VJW]

Flight School? You have to do it to advance.

I was talking about the courier missions. Don't know how it ended up right before that post though.

[House of Pancakes]

How did you all do the mission right after you complete Flight School? It's called NEO, and you have to fly a Rustler plane to a drop-off point and back. If you don't fly like two feet from the ground, the radar goes off, and when I'm that low, I can't not crash into something. Any pointers?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LMAO @ CJ jobbing to Woozie in video games

-edit-

How long am I supposed to swim underwater before I can do the Amphibious Assault mission?</font>

[VJW]

I think you have to do it till your lung capacity bar is higher. I'm just letting my CJ float around right now. Might work.

Zero is one annoying pussy. I hate that RC plane mission. I was winning but than I blew up.

[Disturbed316]

I hate having to work, takes all my game time up :mad:

[VJW]

I finally got to LV! My jaw dropped as soon as I entered the old strip at night. Train missions are also tons of fun despite the fact that they can difficult sometimes.

[House of Pancakes]

I'm gonna break from the airstrip missions. I've done a couple missions for Wuzi at the casino, and lost a couple grand gambling, but I'm loving Las Venturas. Best city of the three.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Dammit, I'm stuck on all of the Main Story missions I'm on. :(

Syndicate: Toreno's Last Flight. Then again I've only attempted it once. :o Maybe I should try a different plan of attack. Next time rather than just running into the first place with guns blazing. :o

Woozie: The Da Nang Thang. I'm finding it hard as fuck to sneak up on people to perform stealth kills. They like, turn around jst as I lunge towards them with the knife and blast the shit out of me with guns. :|

Then when I finally get through those 2 I have to do the final San Fierro blowoff mission and than I FINALLY can get into Las Venturas.</font>

[Hired Hitman]

Fly along the west coast line.

[el fregadero]

Everytime I go looking to take over territories I can never find any enemy gang members around, but if I am just driving through they are everywhere.

[VJW]

I've just completed flight school which was easier than I thought it would be. I'm loving woozie's missions. Best bost from the gta series imo.

[el fregadero]

If you are having trouble with stealth then just go in there with dual guns or an M4 or something and blow them all away.

[DS]

If you can't find any on foot just keep turning around sharply and run a little then turn again. They will eventually show.

[el fregadero]

That's what I do, but I want them to just show up when I first get there. :mad:

[el fregadero]

Also, do you know of any good vehicles to transport 6 or 7 OGF members around with?

[VJW]

I suggest a bus.

[The Fugitive]

*shrug* I haven't seen one, but I heard there's a bus in the game.

[Drakul]

I saw a coach :-\ and a ton of minibuseseses

[el fregadero]

BTW, I beat the storyline.

[House of Pancakes]

Does anybody like using the AK more than the M4? The M4 seems to have pretty weak firepower, if you ask me. Best gun in the game? The SMG.

[VJW]

My favorite gun is the shot gun since one shot is usually all that is needed. I currently working for Rosey, Mike, and I need to talk to Woozie and the casino. The triads are much better than they were in GTA 3 since they actually look sophisticated. In GTA 3 they wore those shitty blue jump suits. I'd try to get the bus near the LS docks since that's where I usually find them.

[Hired Hitman]

I just got smoke and tenpenny, that other poster was right, it is pretty easy but it takes a good 10-20 minutes to complete the whole mission.

I have a Hitman rating for all machine guns, all assault rifles, the pistol and gangsta with the rest except for the combat shotgun.

I have a question - I saw some screenshots of buying airplane tickets, but I cannot enter an airport :|, do any of you know if it is possible to buy tickets (Even though you can fly yourself, but just wondering)

[Drakul]

It was probably a cut scene or possabilty that was taken out of the final game.

[Hired Hitman]

Well I found it :$ you have to take a plane from LV to a city then you can take planes from either of those airports.

[Hired Hitman]

so... I jumped off a building in Los Santos riding a mountain bike, half-way down I jumped off and opened a parachute :cool:

[AareDub]

I successfully completed my goal of reaching LV without unlocking it. I went all out though, I didn't just make it there, I took a big tour. The cops got so bad at trying to catch me that I spent a good 15 minutes or so inside the city before I finally jumped the airport fence and proceeded to drive the baggage cart around for a while. It's hilarious watching the police cars try to run a little baggage cart off the road and not be successful. I finally found a little plane to steal and flew around dodging the missiles from fighter planes. I was flying around in cinematic camera for the hell of it and ended up killing myself because I didn't realize how close to the ground I was.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, I got into LV last night too without unlocking.

Jacked a boat and went SPEEDING to the island and ended up flying into the desert when I hit land. Then since I had 4 stars I managed to jack a Police Ranger and then I had like 2 Police Rangers and eventually the SWAT vans and cop cars after me, but I made it into the city.

I couldn't get out and explore or anything because I was in the car, but eventually it got caught on fire so I had to flee and the SWATs shot me to death.</font> :(

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>OK, I passed Toreno's last flight, but I'm still stuck on the Da Nang Thang.

I got SOOOOO close to beating it. I somehow managed to make it to the lower area of the ship with minimal health. I had a bunch of guards after me, so I made a mad dash to an enclosed area and found some body armor. Then I got through 2 guards, and then was met with 3 more as I continued to walk. I got through them, and by that point my health was still as low as it was and my armor at about half way. I started sneaking to the corner and rotated the camera to see one last guard at tne end of the hall.

I roll into his view and then to my surprise he hurls a grenade at me, so I start trying to escape, but I forgot to make myself stop crouching and the grenade takes the rest of my health away, killing me, causing me to fail after about 15 minutes of taking my time to prevent fucking up. :mad: Awful.

Yeah, so, anyone got a better strategy on how to beat this mission?</font> :(

[VJW]

I'd try to kill the guards as soon as possible when they're right in front of you with a gun but hide behind corners and try to attack them without getting damaged. It's easy as long as you take your time.

EDIT

I just went through a whole bunch of weird shit. It was extremely dark and I was in the countryside. I decided to go exploring in the woods since I had heard about all sorts of weird stuff. I was on a dirt path and there were tons of trees surrounding me. I crossed a wooden bridge and I found a pick up truck. It wasn't on and nobody was inside it. I was very confused since there were not any real roads nearby. I went inside it and didn't bother to turn on the radio since I wanted to concentrate on the enviorment. I drove through the dirt roads and found a real road but decided that I didn't want to stop my interesting evening in SA. I road on and one until I found this wooden house that had a four wheeler outside. I went inside and found nothing. I exited the house and entered my pick up truck. I drove toward Mount Chilliad but than the truck flipped over. I was on foot but I still managed to climb some of the mountain. There was a heavy mist but than the sun started to rise at 5. It's cool how creepy the woods can be.

[The Fugitive]

Bah, I spent 2 hours painting all 100 tags, turns out 6 need redoing. :rant:

[Hollywood Red]

I have a question - I saw some screenshots of buying airplane tickets, but I cannot enter an airport :|, do any of you know if it is possible to buy tickets (Even though you can fly yourself, but just wondering)
You'll have to unlock atleast two cities... go to the airport and look for a yellow blip... go there and you can buy a ticket.

[VJW]

I suggest that everybody goes to the Back O Beyond. There are some rocks that have these extremely weird cars next to them. They're very beat up and you can see one that drives for a little bit and stops. They can never get repaired and none of them have a driver. It's very creepy.

[Drakul]

I heard tons of things about "creepy things" in this game.
Yetis and/or Maniacs with chainsaws in the forest at night and ghost cars being a few.
Anyone got any proof of anything creepy?

[VJW]

I'll post a pic of the ghost car that I found. It's from another site but that's it. The scariest part was when it was really rainy and misty and one of the cars drove to the car that had already done so. I've heard about a big foot and he's supposed to be near Shady Creek so I'll probably check that out tomorrow. Area 69 has also got to have some interesting stuff. I have a map that shows this deserted town that's supposed to have a graveyard. That's something else to look into.

[Drakul]

Yeah I already told you about my chainsaw sounds thingy a few pages back.Never saw him but I heard him.

[Hired Hitman]

I want to find some of those Fierro Snapshots.

[el fregadero]

I did that dirt bike race in Back O Beyond and at the end I paused the game to see exactly where the race finished and to plan a route back to San Fierro. When I unpaused the game I saw some guy on top of a car with what appeared to be overalls on and a chainsaw being rammed through the ceiling. Once I moved the motorcycle it automatically took me back to the car place in San Fierro, leaving me wondering what the hell I just saw.

[Drakul]

:wtf: weird

[el fregadero]

I don't think it was that guy in the woods that I've been hearing about though. I think there must have been an accident or something and he got out of his car and was taking it out on the other driver's car (with a chainsaw).

[Drakul]

...as you do.

[el fregadero]

I've seen other people in the game get out and do it with golf clubs and stuff, so why not a chainsaw? :shifty:

[Drakul]

Good point.I was brutally killed by a Grandpaw with a shovel....

[TheNamelessOne]

I just completed the story missions, yet I still have to do the Casino heist missions, and the set of missions I have been deliberately avoiding - Zeros.

"Suplly Lines" is a fucking asshole to beat.

[Hired Hitman]

If you fly to the left right away you can take out two dots, a van and a bike, for the bikes it is best to swoop and kill the first time they see you, because if you don't they just keep firing at you and you blow up :mad:

anyway look at the bikes and head at them from right behind or infront... that is what I did.

anyway I just did the Casino Heist for Woozie, has anyone glided over to the swat helicopter? cause I always fall short about 2 meters :mad:

oh a different note, I have stolen 6 patriots and 4 rhinos from the restricted area :love:

[House of Pancakes]

Do you get a wanted level if you walk into the restricted area, or can you sneak around for a bit?

[Hired Hitman]

you get an automatic 5 star wanted level (even if no one is around, I guess they have sensors or something)

but if you can get as far as you can away from the base as soon as you can then you might only end up with 3-4 stars.

[Hired Hitman]

also why is it whenever I use a c4 charge I get a two star wanted level and a cop car is right behind me :| I was ontop of the mountain, I flew up there and my jet that I had bailed out of was blocking the road so I planted a charge on it and when I blew it up I had two stars :| maybe it's because I blew up a plane... well I'm going to bed now so I wont really try :-\

I found one snapshot the Xoomer gas station you go to for the mission where you have to destroy the roadblocks for the van.

speaking of camera's and pictures, I love taking pictures of your gang, they all pose for the picture (when you have made a little group) :love: then you can get one of them to take a picture of you :D.. good times.

[TheNamelessOne]

Hired Hitman - Me and brother were playing 2 player and we got to the airstrip, and my brother started shooting me, and the wanted level went up rapidly, even though we were in a pretty much deserted area, and even though no cops were even arriving.

[el fregadero]

What the hell is a Feltzer?

[Disturbed316]

God, I want to kill Catalina, but if I do I fail the missions :mad:

[tucsonspeed6]

I keep finding flowers. I pick them up and expect to give them to my girlfriend, but she never takes them. I want to just save before I go on a date so I could beat her brains in with the flowers. That'd fix her. Seriously, though. Anyone know what the flowers are for and how to use them?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Woooo I'm lagging way behind everyone but, y'know, coursework and everything.

Took over a couple territories, got the gf approval level to about 50%, killed a few crack dealers, bought my first safehouse :love: Anybody buy the place in Mulholland? What's it like? Also is it possible to 'take over' parts of the map that don't have gang colours?

[el fregadero]

All of the safehouses are the same on the inside. They all have a closet and a save point, the only different thing is the size of some of the garages.

[Jonster]

Woooo I'm lagging way behind everyone but, y'know, coursework and everything.

Same here, behind everyone. Just about to begin the Green Sabre mission. I've been playing hardcore tonight trying to get further.

[Hired Hitman]

What the hell is a Feltzer?
I think it is llike a stinger shape car but it looks smaller, you find one driving on the strip in LV. (I think that is a Feltzer, but I'm not sure). I can't find a remmington :|

[Hired Hitman]

also I love putting hydraulics on the SlamVan, it bounces so awesomely :love:

Just finished Los Santos...I think. NOw I'm in the middle of friggin no where. Gonna take a break for RAW.

Been wondering that same thing myself ever since I got about half way through the storyline.

[Drakul]

I'm sure theres always one person on each GTA box (since the 3rd) that never appears in the game.

[el fregadero]

Also, I don't remember the guy with the tan suit and hat being in the game. Though I think it might be some version of CJ you could "create".

[Hired Hitman]

I am upto the second import list and I cannot find ANY of the cars and it is pissing me off because I used to always find sports cars around the place :'(

.. anyway I loaded up a coach with all the gang members I could get and they all jobbed dead to the vagos in under 5 seconds I was left alone to beat them... The grove street guys suck :(

[Drakul]

Also, I don't remember the guy with the tan suit and hat being in the game. Though I think it might be some version of CJ you could "create".

Where do you get the pimp suit?

I'm on the Pimp guys missions now :o

Girlfriend buys it for you when you get 100% on the gf progress bar :$

[Hired Hitman]

the guy on Radio LS says that a chick called Denise called to say she is desperate for her boyfriend etc. that was kind of interesting :D

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Clingy bitch :rant:

[Disturbed316]

I fucking hate Denise, I went to give her some flowers and ended up punching her in the face :rant:

Finished up Catalina's missions last night, they were pretty easy :-\

[Hired Hitman]

I kept on reloading when the people lowered their arms, I thought that I had to keep them up :$ then I saw arrows above the atm machines and my face was all :$

I took over every Vagos area and the ballas only have their section near madd dogg's mansion minus one area I took just then. I looked at the gang stats in the stats menu and the vagos still have 1 area as their own, so I guess the gangs stay around, that is nice to know :)

I STILL haven't found any cars for that list, it is really starting to piss me off.

[AareDub]

@#%@#$#@$@#$@#!!!!!!!

So I'm on the Supply Lines mission, I was on the way to the last courier guy with about 1/4 tank of feul left. It was only like the 3rd time I've tried the mission and I was thinking, "wow those guys suck, this mission was pretty easy." So I take out the last guy and Zero tells me to bring the thing home! WTF! I had like no feul left by that time. So yea, I officially hate that mission as much as the rest of you now. :foc:

[Jonster]

The Wrong Side Of The Tracks Mission is really annoying me (memory card arrived back earlier :D).

Only because Big Smoke can't shoot for shit. :mad:

[el fregadero]

Damn, anybody else flown in the AT-400 yet?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

I think I might try popping a cap upside Denise's head and seeing what happens.

[el fregadero]

You "dump" her and she dies. That's what happened with that Millie girl anyway.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Stop spoiling :mad:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Whoever decided to put Flight School in this game as a requirement for the Main Story Missions needs to have their dick chopped off.

Most annoying shit ever. I'm on the circle the airfield one, and I can't keep the fucking plane under control, and when I finally got through the whole course they gave me 69%, which is 1% short of passing, with no fucking explanation as to why, just a random number they pulled out of their ass it seems.</font> :| :mad:

[Hired Hitman]

you guys remember to lift the landing gear up right? the plane is hard to control if you leave it down, press R3 to put the landing gear up, then again to lower it.

flying is easy, the key things to learn are to tilt to the right or left then hold the stick back to turn sharp, if you want an even more so sharp turn then hole R2 or L2 while doing that. it's easy as hell to get bronze on them all. (well it was for me.)

[Hired Hitman]

Last night I got Hitman on all weapons, I love having two sawed-off shotguns :love:

[Hired Hitman]

i was playing the quarry mission where you use the dumptruck to carry some explosives, and wouldn't you know it a cop ramed me hard and I blew up... the first death I have ever got. :mad:

[Hired Hitman]

... hello it's me again :wave:


Am I the only person replying or what :|, anyway I have found the whole second list except for the cheetah, anyway I am in love with the Slamvan, Bouncing side to side with the hydraulics on the Slamvan is good times. I haven't robbed any houses for a long time, I might give that a go the next time I play.

[House of Pancakes]

Last night I got Hitman on all weapons, I love having two sawed-off shotguns :love:

Once you get to Hitman, how do you wield two of a weapon, for the ones you can? Do you just get another one?

[Hired Hitman]

if you have enough ammo for two, you automatically get one once you reach hitman rating

[Disturbed316]

lol at Woozie walking into the wall.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Is it possible to buy the AK? I'm sick of having to pick them up from dropped Ballaz (bearing in mind I'm still in Los Santos)

[House of Pancakes]

Is it possible to buy the AK? I'm sick of having to pick them up from dropped Ballaz (bearing in mind I'm still in Los Santos)

In due time. I think once you get out of Los Santos [or it might be once you get out of the Badlands and into San Fierro] they become available, and late in the game, everything becomes available, including the Desert Eagle, the M4, and the Combat Shotgun.

[Y2Ant]

:cool: :cool: :cool: @ Pier 69 mission

mad easy to kill all the goons on it since I was a hitman with the SMG, killed the first boss guy easily, then instead of letting the second guy swim to his boat, I just rocket launchered them from the dock :love:

(i've not mentioned who you kill so not to spoil it, those who have done the mission will know who I mean :mad: )

That mission made me happy though. I just have Woozie's and Zero's missions now, and I have like almost all the safehouses, except the $50,000+ ones :o

[el fregadero]

Stop spoiling :mad:
You don't have to do that, you could actually do the dates with her if you feel like it, but I just got tired of waiting for her.

[Disturbed316]

Zero is such a fucking pussy. I hate his missions, and I've only done one attempt, Woozie is a stupid cunt who can only just shoot better than Smoke and Jizzy is pimp :cool:

[el fregadero]

Zero is the man.

[Y2Ant]

Woozie > Jizzy

<font color=goldenrod>OK, I FINALLY passed circle the airstrip thing after about 20 tries.

that Supply Lines mission is fucking ridiculous.

The plane is like impossible to control, it sways about like crazy when i'm not even using the L stick, and when i'm shooting guys they shoot and kill me in like 10 seconds, fucking lame.

[Y2Ant]

I think i'm just gonna leave it til later, I don't need it to progress to LV so fuck it for now.

Onto the mystery mission :o

[Xero]

To tell you the truth, the first mission from Zero was much harder than Supply Lines for me. It only took me three or four tries on Supply Lines. It took at least ten times for the first one. It was a bitch to aim that mother fucker perfectly. And I WAS shooting in front of them and not directly at them.

[Hired Hitman]

It's strange about Woozie, his guard tells you he is blind, yet he also tells you that Woozie is blessed with good fourtune but most cutscenes show that his men make him win... so it's... odd :$

I couldn't beat if at first 'cause I was doing it during the evening. It's a lot easier during the day for obvious reasons.

Yea, the daylight made a world of difference for me on that mission.

[Y2Ant]

I had a few more tries at supply lines, I can kill all 5 guys but I don't have enough fuel to make it back.

I wanna get it over with but it is just so annoying.

I got into Las Venturas, went to the gym, tattoo place, barbers etc. Only 4 types of clothes shop in the entire game :|?

[Evil Vito]

Binco, Sub Urban, Victim, Pro Laps, Zip and Didier Sachs (I think that is a store, it's next to the Victim store in Rodeo, Los Santos.

[House of Pancakes]

<font color=goldenrod>Any good strategies for "You've Had Your Chips"?

There's this one guard in there that always kills me in one shot.</font> :o

First, make sure you have body armor. You will take some hits, and you will need it. Also, use a good weapon, with which your skill is ranked high.

The key to this mission is to ALWAYS expect more people to attack. There are basically three "waves." When you start off, two guys will be shooting behind you, so keep them in mind. Crouch and strafe across the entrance and take out as many people as you can. They're all over the room, so look to your left. Even after it seems everyone is gone and you're destroying the white tanks, keep looking and roll when you shoot. When you're almost done destroying all of the tanks, a couple more guys come at you from the middle of the room. After all the tanks are destroyed, shoot out the last wave.

The one guard you may be referring to is the very last one, propped on a box outside the entrance. He has a sniper rifle. What I would do is crouch behind the shelves just near the entrance, crawl out and shoot him quickly. After you kill the guards, you're done and completely safe.

[el fregadero]

A couple of them have shotguns and those were the ones I would always forget to shoot.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Then kill her. What is the problem here? :rant:

I said that I was going to ice her, not that I had. You spoiled any potential enjoyment I might've had by telling me what was going to happen :rant:

That said it is a relief to know I won't be stuck with her the whole game (since I haven't played the game since I made that post) :cool:

[blueskies]

Stopped playing San Andreas for nearly a week due to the fact that 'Supply Lines' was gay and stupid. But, I put it in this morning.. and finally beaten it within' another 30 minutes of trying... then the next mission after that.. wasn't as hard.. but Zero sure is annoying as hell.. Finally beat the Flight School too.. that shit wasn't fun at all. Now I got to do the plane missions. Gah..

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Are the remainder of the plane missions required to advance in the main story?</font>

[el fregadero]

Yeah. They're pretty cool after NOE, though.

[House of Pancakes]

Yeah, I'm stuck on NOE. I keep hitting trees right after I go through the corona.

Also, when do I open the Import/Export garage?

[el fregadero]

It's not a garage in this game, and I don't remember exactly when it's opened. I know you have to buy Wang Autos first, then you get some missions where you steal cars and then it's unlocked.

[House of Pancakes]

Finally beat NOE. Stowaway seems like a cool mission, but does anybody have tips on how to catch up to the plane? I gun it down the strip and the plane takes off before I'm 100 feet from it.

[el fregadero]

Just start tapping X before you get control of the bike and then hold it down once you do. Also, try to avoid the boxes it drops. :shifty:

[House of Pancakes]

It's a motorbike, not a BMX.

[el fregadero]

Tap it before you get control so you get the best possible jump on the plane.

[tucsonspeed6]

Speed down the right side of the plane, then at the last second turn into the ramp.

[Y2Ant]

On supply lines, does it matter how much you use the X button for the throttle, cause I always keep it held down when i'm going a long way from one courier to the next, and occasionally i'll need to slow down to shoot one of the guys.

I dunno if more throttle loses more fuel or what :o

[DS]

I don't think it matters. What I did was go straight for the guy on the bike to your left and turn around without stopping and start shooting the guy in the van on the left side so when he gets out you can shoot him down without him hitting you. Then go straight to the other van in the pack of 3 without stopping at any part of the mission so far. Try and slow down to kill this one but probably not best to come to a complete stop. Then take off to kill the other two, you should have about 3/4 fuel or more by this point or you're going to have a hard time making it. Then go straight for the guy on the motorcycle (the closest one to you at this point) and kill him. You could probably stop for this guy if you need to. Then kill the other guy without stopping and hold down X until you get to the marker. You might pause and look for the quickest route.

[VJW]

I'm on the mission where you have to invade Mad Dog's house. Lots of fun since I can't wait until I get to bring back the OGF in LS. I had some trouble with Up Up And Away but I managed to beat it with a parachute. The jet pack kicks ass and I'm planning to use it with the night vision goggles to look for anything strange in the woods at night. It was also nice to go back to Liberty City since I'm a big fan of GTA 3. Maybe we'll actually be able to go to Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas one day!:O

[House of Pancakes]

The jet pack is great, but it's tough to use. I failed the Black Project mission because I got hit by rockets from the SMA. I tried to fly away on my jetpack, but I kinda just hovered and got killed.

[G]

The Jet Pack took a little bit to get used to, but now I can use it like a champ. It's that damn army jet that I can't use for shit. :mad:

[VJW]

Man I just got extremely pissed off since I was so fucking close to beating the damn mission with the mansion but then my car blows up which allows the stupid fucko to get away. Of course I took out my frustration on everybody on the road:D.

I don't know how good that would be though, that storyline would have to drag on quite a bit for that to work.

[G]

I love that jet, I only wish it had machine guns :(

But I guess the ability to fire your own guns makes up for it. :-\

[G]

Just when I think I'm almost done with this shit, someone else pops up with their own set of missions. :mad:

[el fregadero]

What mission are you on?

[Drakul]

I have a feeling that in the next GTA it could be in Carser City.Its been mentioned in GTA3 and in SA.Just a random thought.

[el fregadero]

They'll probably just keep mentioning it in all the games, but never make a GTA game with it.

[Y2Ant]

WHOOOOOOOOO finally beat Supply Lines. I did it on my second try tonight, which is like 10th in total. :cool:

I got kinda lucky on it, I killed the first three guys, then killed the far two with half a tank left, only just made it back. :o

The 3rd Zero mission was mad fun and mad easy, dropped a bomb on his helicopter :love:

I need $80,000 to carry on with Toreno's missions, I did those races for some cash, beat the bike one (easy) the one in those funny cars (mad easy) and the go-kart one, I can't get better than 3rd on the 4th one, the car is too shit :mad:

I'm almost at 80k now though so i'll just use the RC shop to fund me :o

[el fregadero]

Do the Freight Train missions, mad easy and you get 50K for finishing both levels.

Why did they have Grove Street as a destination point throughout the entire game?

[TheNamelessOne]

G - On one of your stats pages it tells you how much terrotories you have in %. Get that up to 35% and you should be ready to carry on. And yes, its a bitch to do.

[Disturbed316]

Doubt I will be playing this game much in the next two weeks as got Smackdown vs Raw and I'm hooked on it. It's a shame really as I was really getting into it :o :$

[House of Pancakes]

Fuck. I'm stuck on Misappropriation. I've done all the San Fierro missions except Zero's [I'll do his later]. It's the mission where you have to chase down a helicopter for Tenpenny, shoot the pilot, grab the dossier, and bring it back. It seems like a simple mission, but the 'copter always flies over Area 69. That gives me five stars and fucks me up, completely.

If I go around Area 69, will I fail the mission for being too far away from the helicopter? Because if I can go around and not have five stars and hydra jets shooting rockets at me while I chase him, that would make it a whole lot easier.

Just get a chopper from the airport so that you don't have to get one of those on top of the cliff. He always got a good head start when that happened.

I just got some new threads which is awesome. I look a little like James Bond despite the skin color.

[House of Pancakes]

That's a good idea, but that's not my problem. I don't have a problem catching up to him, I have a problem getting blown up when I get five stars for flying over Area 69. Is there a way to avoid this?

I dunno if more throttle loses more fuel or what :o


Keep your pedal to the metal. THe longer you wait for these guys the farther away they spread apart. I tried to conserve fuel for the longest time until I gave up and just floored it once and I noticed that if you time it just right, the two guys on the north side of the map are much closer to Zero's place and each other. I knocked them both off in one foul swoop and made it back with about two seconds worth of fuel left.

[VJW]

That's a good idea, but that's not my problem. I don't have a problem catching up to him, I have a problem getting blown up when I get five stars for flying over Area 69. Is there a way to avoid this?

I usually managed to avoid Area 69 by staying just barely away from the fence. You will not get those stupid stars if you do that. And the maverik can survive those rockets. Hope this helps!
