Also, how is damage calculated from gunfire on the enemies? It's been wildly inconsistent with me. I can shoot one guy in the upper chest and he'll bleed out, but another (who looks exactly like the guy before) can take 4-5 shots to the chest and he'll still get up or lean up to take potshots at me. It can get kind of frustrating.

This happens to me a lot; apart from body armor I think it's just lag.

There was some dick warping around in deathmatch last night and aside from just straight hacking he must have been lagging all over the place. It's kind of irritating how the game handles it though; if you have a poo poo connection it's kind of to your advantage because no one can shoot you and you can still shoot them.

I could definitely get behind that. All the air races I've been in though just end up really exciting/hilarious at the beginning, then a big gap opens up between everyone and it's a 2 minute slog through checkpoints with no positioning change (unless someone crashes through their own fault) all the way to the end.

The air deathmatch is always exciting however.

"Catch Up" is absolutely necessary in air races or, yeah - if someone gets the whole shot and leads at the first gate on anything but the city races then you better hope they lawn dart of they've already won.

For some reason just now my character had a huge bruise/scar (not a gunshot decal) on the back of her leg after I bought some boots. It went away after I logged off and came back, but it was still weird. It looked like a nasty dog bite scar or something.

You must have died at some point because that's how you get the scars, they go away after a while. Showering does not get rid of them either, that's only for fresh bloodstains.

Is there any way to tell how high a bounty is if you miss the popup when they first get it? I got into a huge firefight and ended up dying twice against a group of other players going after a bounty, and when I finally got the guy it was only worth $1000. So all in all I was down $3000.

I'm more talking about the AI enemies. I haven't played any deathmatches or got into any shootouts with random people. The guys in question are just a regular Baller gangster type in a sports jersey, no body armor modeled or anything.

I had the opportunity to change literally anything about the world and I used it to get a new av
Managed to spawn into a lobby full of 1009 goons, a quick check of the map seemed like they were all in vine wood griefing some pubbie. So, I I grab a cargobob and what's this? One of those mustang lookin cars is parked right there on the runway. So I grab that with the intention of dropping it atop that pubbie up in vine wood.

Half way there another goon in a jet flys by and says the mustang is his personal vehicle & I should put it back or he'll blow me away, so I drop it atop a skyscraper :haw:

Much love buddy, I was waiting for you to shoot me down but I guess you lost interest.

My guess is to avoid duping cash. Somebody could give another player a lot of cash, cut the power to the console so when they reload they still have all the cash they gave away. Rinse and repeat and you've got a billion in less than a day.

The crates are just sitting in the combat area, they're pretty conspicuous big wooden crates labeled "SUPPLIES" but I think they'll vanish pretty quickly once you've cleared out the enemies so you'll need to grab them before they de-spawn. They contain $500 and what is usually a pretty high quality weapon like a carbine rifle or combat MG.

It also lets your crew know when you've initiated a gang attack so sometimes you may get some backup.

That's the best, not knowing if a player is going to crash into your gang attack. Makes the gang attacks more intense.

Even in SA:MP they guarded against that.

I'm all for cheaters, I say warn them of the consequences, let them cheat and then follow through.

Stole a billion dollars? Congratulations you are now a billion dollars in debt.

There is a Drafthouse/Cinema in Texas, They warn you not to talk during the movies (unless its expected). They warn you that they will remove you with no refund if you break their rules. No one breaks the rules.

Has anyone tried getting a private jet like the Luxor and having it filled with 10 players? Can you see inside and just chat while someone flies? That sounds like it'd be really loving cool. Then you all bail out over the military base and kill like 50,000 marines and steal their tanks.

I loving HATE deathmatch. Plus I have no idea how to do anything or what to do, like I'm sure there's easy stuff to get level ups in that aren't races, and I'm reading the internet to figure it out (but internet says nothing for whatever reason), so it all just makes me feel like a loser.
