I think you have to trigger the next part of the mission by hitting the little, yellow area before you start shooting. When Phil, JT and I did it, I just opened up with the buzzard as soon as I was in range, and I think that's why we got so much heat from the cops.

Only got on for a bit yesterday, but it was eventful. Hopped into a public server with a bounty on me and immediately saw a Simeon car south of me. Some white dot came at me while I was switching out of my personal vehicle, so I shot him. Made it down to the vehicle and shot the guy out of it easily enough. Soon as I got in I realized why it was so easy to get him. The car is FUCKED - maybe one tire left, and the body is almost unrecognizable. I could barely get the thing to move in a straight line at all. I only made it about a quarter mile before somebody got me. I had to shoot two more people to get back into the car, and nursed the thing all the way back to LSC with some serious white knuckling. As soon as I got out, somebody shows up in an armored police truck. I got him with my grenade launcher but got myself with splash damage too. He respawned right by the Simeon car and hopped into it for ignition bomb kill # 24. He took off at that point, so I was just driving around aimlessly. I was still a white dot, and everybody but one guy was as well. 2 guys passed me in a Comet, and I let them go without shooting, till they turn around and shot me from behind. They took off as well, so I consoled myself with shooting the other guys around me, including the sole red dot. But I wanted that Comet. I had another bounty on me, and was hunkered down behind a car having just shot somebody in the middle of the street when the damn comet came at me again. This time my auto-targetting combat MG got both of them, and the grenade launcher got the Comet, and a bunch of police cars as well. They kept coming at me, but it didn't go well for them. The full arsenal was in effect, with the final kill being a sticky bomb that launched one of them into the ether. It was probably about 15 to 3, and I was full on psycho, when they decided they'd had enough. Definitely felt better than getting my ass whipped the night before by sniper boy.

I'd love to see more customization options for online. Character look, freemode room options, etc. Neil made a good point about turning off the cops in freemode. We've said that endlessly during freemode kill-a-thons. I'd add in an option to prioritize auto-targets, so that you can tell the game target biggest threat - other players - first, rather than veering off 90 degrees to aim at some harmless cop two blocks away. Options for freemode, races, and DM settings don't seem like they would be too difficult to implement, and would keep people around and playing longer. I loved the SR games, especially 2 and 3. I would actively play melee DMs in GTA online if the combat was like SR3. Best part about Saint's Row is that they never took themselves too seriously - something Rockstar seemingly went overboard on around the time GTA4 came out.

I love the sticky bombs. So many hilarious kills with those. melraz with the sticky bomb on the tanker truck. Watching Rippa climb a sheet metal fence directly above the sticky I had placed there. I'll sometimes go through my entire supply twice in a long freemode session. One important rule of GTA I've learned - Mary Lou can't dodge a sticky bomb.

Yeah, I told you that guy could shoot. He and I ran off the rest of the server before you got in, while taking out each other as well. He got more freemode kills on me than anybody I've ever run into. I did manage to get two ignition bomb kills, so I'm up to 23 I think. I've given up on being subtle and now just drive right at people after I fit the bomb. Everybody seems to fall for it. One guy made the mistake of parking his personal vehicle right next to it before getting in. Closing in on platinum for the RPG as well. Had 4 guys in a police van roll up on me after my first ignition bomb kill. RPG sorted that out nicely. The only weapon I'm a long way off from platinum is grenades. I still haven't hit gold for that yet. I always use sticky bombs instead.

That's another easy way to do it - make the things less impregnable. Make RPG rounds more effective on them, or make it somewhat easier to snipe the driver. Really anything that doesn't equate the tank to virtual god mode.

Rockstar is really missing on some simple stuff they could do to make the game better. Freemode would be far more fun without the tanks. There's any number of simple ways the situation could be improved: - remove the damned things from freemode, and make them only available in missions - disable them in some servers, and give you the option to only go to rooms where they are disabled - make it so that you can only call a tank every so often - 1 game day, 1 real day, something like that I'm sure there are other ways that would work as well, and some of them have got to be easy to implement. I find it hard to believe that they haven't got enough feedback to realize that 95% of people hate tanks, and that the 5% that like them are assholes. Of course, the DM matchmaking still bugs me 10000000% more than the tanks. Trying to find a normal mode DM with regular weapons is a damn near impossible task. You either get a team match, a stupid user created melee match, or one of the new variants of the $1000000 + $$$ + RP matches. New variants of the last one have popped up, like some kind of mutated virus. They mostly have things like $100000 and Boost in the names, and they're from the same dude as before. Has anybody been getting some REALLY wonky game physics after the last update? I tried to take cover behind a wall a couple days ago, and the game teleported me 20 feet past the end of the wall, but still pretended I was in cover. Then last night I was going down a small flight of stairs near Grove St and got launched into the air maybe 50 feet. Lost most of my health from that, which wasn't good for the firefight I was in.

Happy birthday Burke. And fuck me for forgetting after you and melraz both said it last week. Hope y'all find an appropriate way to celebrate.

So much better that you and Rippa have earned preferred target status from my bullets if you guys are on the other team. You two are really good sniper tandem, so I can't afford to let either you find a place to dig in and get comfortable. Yeah, by the second or third DM I was pretty much convinced that there was a sniper scope aimed at my head any time I wasn't completely in cover. I was right a lot of the time too. Same way I was sure Dan was going to knife me in the back during the Dockyard DM. I was slightly off there, as he apparently chose a bat as his weapon of choice, leading to a hilarious 30 second melee fight between the two of us.

Was that when I was running for my life out in the open trying like hell to take cover behind that massive tree? I just kept getting hit and hit and hit and I have no clue how I didn't die sooner. Sounds about right. You were getting shot at from multiple angles. I couldn't see whoever else was shooting at you - could just see the bullets wizzing by.

Old McDonald had a farm. E,I,E,I,O. And on that farm he shot some guys. Bada Bing, Bada Bing, Bang, Boom. One, two, three, four, five. Oswasld was a fag. I've said it before, but that goes through my head all the time in this game. One of my favorite things about Saint's Row is that they named the sniper rifle the McManus.

Black Roses by the Matadors always comes back to me, at least the 2nd to last verse: well I'd like to say I'm sorry for all my cruelty and I'd like to say I regret all my past but the truth is oh baby I'd be lyin' and I'm gonna live out everyday like it's my last kiss my ass

If there's a reward for least valuable player in a team DM win, I deserved it for misanthrope's created match. Kills - 0. Deaths - 0. Shots fired - 0. Number of enemy spotted - 0. I would've been just as helpful taking a ride on the ferris wheel, and I still got paid. Fortunately my teammates had their shit together. I still want to know how Chris (at least I think it was Chris) survived 2 heavy sniper rounds in a row before somebody else got him. I know I only winged him, but that was damned frustrating.

This. It was worth it for the endless bad jokes that will ensue. I might start using it before every race, considering how well I usually do against y'all. And I'm sure y'all can appreciate how hard it is for me to parachute with one hand.

Guys, GTA is hard when you've only got one arm, and everybody is picking on you. melraz, Stout, and I ran into one of the dumbest players ever to disgrace GTA last night after I got back on. It was the three of us and one other guy in a server when a Simeon motorcycle popped up. I grabbed it, applied the traditional ignition bomb surprise, and drove it right over to the guy. We'd been killing him up and down the map, and I was absolutely certain he wouldn't fall for my little surprise. I was wrong though. He hopped right on the bike after shooting me.

Nerd hot means hearbeat and functioning brain activity, man. DARPA guys are just happy to have contact with the opposite sex during working hours in a professional setting. A date couuld be overwhelming. You don't want to see DARPA guys who have been served by a cute waitress figure out how much of a tip to leave. The computation schema becomes mindboggling. Presumably they didn't do anything except study in college, and there ain't usually exactly a bunch of hot women in engineering/physics classes. For some reason, there weren't a lot of sorority girls in my Fourier Optics or Linear Transform Theory classes.

That was me. I screwed it up by getting taken out by the Merryweather guys. Then the guy that grabbed it from us took out you, me and melraz while we were in a helicopter going after him.

3 Supers is definitely a waste. That's why I have 7 - Zentorno, Entity, Adder, Bullett, Infernus, Turismo & Vacca. Bought the Coquette and Banshee topless variants this weekend to go with my Carbinohoweverthehellyouspellit Those are all sitting in my garage up by the golf course. My lower end stuff is downtown Bati, Sanchez, Sandking, Mesa, Blista, Tailgater, Sultan, Sentinel, Baller and Gauntlet

That sounds about like the way I got my special crate with the t-shirt. I was in a public and saw a warning about a special crate incoming. Had to drop off to take care of something. Came back online about 5 minutes later in a private room, and the special crate was sitting up by Madrazo's farm. I've never seen a regular crate outside of a public.

I bought a topless Coquettte over the weekend as well. It amused me that one of the available mods turns the topless version you spent extra money on into a regular Coquette.

Yeah, the option to turn off armor visibility is there where you said. It just doesn't work, at least for me. I'm the same way about phone calls too. I almost never actually know who they are.

My internet was flaky as hell this weekend, so I couldn't get on for more than 15 minutes at a time after Friday. I did get on long enough to notice a few things - I can't hide my armor any more, even if I select the option. Thus, I can't taunt JT with my sweet, sweet Los Santos Belle T-shirt that I grabbed due to a special crate spawning in an invite only room a while back - the release note about being able to avoid melee DMs seems to have been bullshit. I can't find any way to do enable that, and from looking on online it seems that a lot of other people have tried and failed as well - It looks like they did something to those $1000000 + RP DMs so that either they're blocked or they just don't come up nearly as often. Used to be those would show up at least half the time when you picked a random DM. I haven't seen them show up once since the update. It's a nice change.

I actually remember that one clown's name because we killed him so many times that I finally got it right - CharlieDontSerf I made myself feel old by saying "Sorry, Charlie" about a thousand times. He was level 120-something, and needed to learn that there are times when the minigun is not the best weapon for the job. Fortunately, we were there to supply the lesson. Another teaching moment supplied by the DVDR nite shift. Blasted him out of two tanks too. The second guy on the ignition bomb was funny. I didn't think he'd go for it, because he was so slow on the uptake when I came out lf LSC. Still disappointed that my suicide bomb attempt in a tanker truck rigged with a sticky bomb failed. And I couldn't do anything without getting a bounty put on me last night. I got at least 4 or 5, including two in a row.

I think stout and I may be older than y'all. I remember those, but never seen that one before. They need to come up with a T-shirt for Zentorno owners kinda like the Go Ugly Early shirts A-10 pilots wear.

I was already on verse 2 before I finished reading this. I'm a slow reader apparently. In my defense, I had a girlfriend I lived with for 2 years that only listened to three types of music. Disney soundtracks, Jimmy Buffett, and DAC. No points for guessing which one I went for.
