I'm not sure. I don't know when there was a mission in which I could walk behind the target car before they sped off.

One thing it could be used for (I've already beat the game, though) is planting one on your own vehicle, calling to detonate it and jump out, sending it into an area where the enemy is. I don't know how effective this would be, though.

It is fun just to mess around with, however.

I haven't really played this game since the weekend... and since MGO beta is about to end, probably won't be playing that much till after the 11th either.

I don't see a reason to rush through it. GTA is one of the games I like taking my time with and performing side missions and such. If I want the 30 hr achievement I'll just do it over again but having fully enjoyed all it had to offer the first time. It'll be a well spent $50.

Is the reason for posting in black text to annoy people, leading them to not read your posts?

I've already beaten the game, but did side missions, too. I can enjoy it by playing it over and over. Even with the game beat, I still have fun playing it.

It's a preference. If I was looking to annoy anyone I'd do it in red.

Changed for comedic reasons - BGM

I'm absolutely loving this game. I am having such a fun time. I just did the achievement for getting away from the cops with 4 stars on you, man oh man is that hard! I kept getting out of the flashing circle, then a swat truck will come and I will have to keep going. I am happy that Roman gave me his Taxi service I find it very convenienct if there's no cab's out around me. I am working for Francis now, he is my latest guy on my phonebook. If I continue to do side missions(bowl, pool, drunk, etc) will that gain me anything besides friendship boost? If I constantly go to side missions with people, will they provide me anything or benefit me in anyway? Thanks.

After a certain percentage you receive special abilities from them. There is a posting about it here: http://www.video-game-forums.com/gra...tml#post497138 After you receive them the only reason to continue going out with them is to attain the Freindship acheivement which involves the friends you have at the end of the game all liking you 90% or greater. It's annoying taking them out all the time but what I do is just do 2 missions then make a round with each of them insteading of having them call at inconvenient times.

Well my relationship with Roman is around 85% on both respect and like, still I don't have access to "Work" on the phone. I even got in a taxi and tried finding it but still nothing. My latest attempt consisted of me calling for one of his taxis and jacking the car, even that didn't work.

I think I have Brucie's special ability, but none of the others. I want Packie's because of the car bomb, but it will take a lot of work.

How do you unlock the special ability for the helicopter, I don't even know what it is or where to start.

I just bought this game today. I have yet to play it. I'm currently baby sitting my Uncle's kids, and am on this forum. I'll probably play it later on tonight, after dinner. I can't wait! The minutes feel like hours! I only bought it for $5.65 from Gamestop, because I had money on an Edge card. Super sweet!

Don't get all excited and think that I'm going to play online with any of you... because I actually can't. I still don't have internet downstairs in the basement.
