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 11-07-2004 12:39 AM

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 11-07-2004 01:39 AM

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 11-07-2004 02:09 AM

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

Hired Hitman 11-07-2004 04:35 AM

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 11-07-2004 10:07 AM

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 11-07-2004 11:03 AM

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 11-07-2004 11:06 AM

<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 11-07-2004 12:01 PM

<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 11-07-2004 02:31 PM

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 11-07-2004 09:52 PM

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

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 11-07-2004 11:09 PM

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 11-07-2004 11:11 PM

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?

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.

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

Hired Hitman 11-08-2004 12:31 AM

I want to find some of those Fierro Snapshots.

el fregadero 11-08-2004 01:07 AM

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 11-08-2004 01:13 AM

:wtf: weird

el fregadero 11-08-2004 01:30 AM

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 11-08-2004 01:33 AM

...as you do.

el fregadero 11-08-2004 01:36 AM

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 11-08-2004 01:58 AM

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

TheNamelessOne 11-08-2004 06:51 AM

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 11-08-2004 09:00 AM

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 11-08-2004 10:33 AM

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

Hired Hitman 11-08-2004 10:49 AM

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 11-08-2004 10:53 AM

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 11-08-2004 12:52 PM

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 11-08-2004 12:54 PM

What the hell is a Feltzer?

Disturbed316 11-08-2004 02:07 PM

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

tucsonspeed6 11-08-2004 03:22 PM

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 11-08-2004 03:53 PM

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 11-08-2004 04:02 PM

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.

Still not got my memory card back :'(

Got the pimp suit :cool:

RoXer 11-08-2004 07:50 PM

What's all this talk I hear about bigfoot?

RoXer 11-08-2004 08:09 PM

And who is that blonde chick with the tattoo and the clevage shot and shes licking her upper lip? Shes in all the box art. I haven't seen her in the game though.

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