The day you see a camera come into our courtroom, its going to roll over my dead body.
Congrats to El Jebus for basically singlehandedly winning a round of base invaders after his comrades (esp. me) got killed early on.

I don't think base invaders is an easy mission (don't think I've ever done it without dying once,) but the rewards are enormous.

I haven't played many death match modes, I'll admit, but the few I have with auto-aim on have actually been pretty intense. Having auto-aim only puts your cursor in the right direction--you still have to track or adjust to land a solid shot on a moving target. It's made the matches I've been in scary if only because you know if you get seen and can't juke to break their lock you're dead. The fact is that you can if you're paying attention.

Not to mention it turns most matches into this nasty game of cat-and-mouse with players weaving in and out of whatever cover they can find, getting gradually more desperate and brazen as the timer runs out. It works a lot better than I expected.

Goons turning on goons.

Had a laugh with a couple of guys from Third Street Goons tonight.

Basically me and TrashSenior ran into a group of guys and started a shoot out. While in cover I inadvertently pistol wiped TrashSenior and killed him.

One of the other guys that I killed put a 7k bounty on me. And TrashSenior killed me and took it.

I couldn't decide wether that was poo poo or wether it was payback for me killing him by mistake.

Later, we team up again and bump into Cake or death (I think that was his name). We total a car and are in the middle of a field together. TrashSenior straight out punches me cause I flipped the bird at him. So I shoot him dead.

Cake Or Death, obviously thinking I've turned on our goon crew pistol whips me, so I pistol whip him back and it turns into a flat out hilarious pistol whip to the death contest (which I won :) ). I was in tears of laughter at the situation.

We were men and put our differences aside. And continued on.

Me and a friend just tried to do a job for lester where apparently you have to go to the top of a construction site and retrieve a briefcase. I went into the job driving a helicopter but it wasn't there when we started. I know where all the helicopter spawns are but not a single aircraft was spawning. I'm level 26 and he's lower so couldn't call merriweather for a ride. The ramp to the top of the construction site is blocked by a fence you can't get by. I tried climbing a crane next to the site but that didn't work either. Is this a bug or is there some trick to getting a helicopter in these jobs?

If you start from single player go to online and then solo session should be the last option.

Play GTA Online actually opens a submenu that lets you pick a variety of game options.

You have to select that option first and then choose how you want to connect to GTA Online, solo session is one of the options.

Yeah, Survival, Top Fun, and that one game where ThreeBomb destroyed the objective in about 1 minute with sticky bombs were really fun. Wished I could have done Escape from LS, but I've got stuff to do, hope some of you enjoyed my parting gift though!

I shot 2 of you in the face, not sure which 2 you were though.

If anyone cares, :siren:Max ammo is based entirely off your shooting stat level and not your character level:siren:. Went from 3000 max ammo to 5000 after doing a few survival matches. Got 20+ shooting stat without leveling once.

Side note, bring as much ammo as possible into those survival matches. It's pretty easy to run out if you're lower level.

On my first, lost female character I definitely remember seeing more options for hats, including beanies, a cowboy hat, and a lot more caps. I started a new one yesterday and the selection is now far more limited, where did they go?

I'm not a very high level and I ran out a couple times, but there are ammo drops all around the map, and in between levels it gives you a chance to prepare (restock ammo) before the next round.

Base Invaders has quickly become a good to grind for cash. I got 400k doing it solo on easy in about an hour, with 3 or 4 people it'd be cake. $25k per run, 1k RP, forget Violent Duct.

Also, when or if you ever hit level 75, a mission called Rooftop Rumble becomes available. 25k for maybe 30 seconds work.

Anyone want to trade race wins on 360? We can actually race up until the end and then trade wins so it remains entertaining. I'm 40 and I want to grind my way up to 45 + unlock poo poo for my car and trading racing wins is apparently fast as hell.

Because I was playing offline just loving around with random players and some dude from my friends list joined on a mission I was in. I suppose he just joined on his own I guess. Just trying to figure out how the systems work I suppose.
