I loved the mission where you had to break into the military base as Trevor to steal the helicopter. Installed silencers on every gun I had and was a white trash Solid Snake, stealth all the way, sniped most of the guards before they got close enough to shoot at me.

hahaha I went the other way, plowed my way through soldiers in my car until I pulled up right next to the chopper, then just hopped in and took off.

Yeah I tried that once and the security around him killed me with their regular guns from super far away, so I just grabbed my shotgun and raged in

In other news, physics glitches!

I forgot about the Fighter jet. Going to give that a whirl.

I've had no problem driving around the base with one of the exotic cars and just cooking it. No one can really catch you? Maybe I'm just lucky.

Not as good as the haunted swings but cool.

I did notice in the game that its really easy for your car to get caught in minor ruts and not be able to move.

You guys may already know this, but I just figured out if you're in your car and unarmed, pressing the "fire" button will make you give the finger to people. Lots of varied reactions depending who you do it to (gang members will open fire)

Did anyone else have install issues? I bought this game and it froze every time during the install process. I am on PS3 and was forced to do a file system restore 3 times, as after the freeze the system would no longer recognize game discs. Any advice? I want to get into this game!

On the 360 it was a pretty long install and took up a ton of space.
I'm so used to pop game into 360 play two minutes later.

But then again, I hadn't touched my 360 in about a year and I couldn't remember my microsoft information because they've updated security.

How do you change your weapon in a car? Usually it's left shoulder button but that's fire when you are in the car.

When loading up my Xbox I looked at my games played and realized I hadn't played a game since about February so I had to update my Xbox then install the game so it was a long install too.

When in your car, press X (or square if its PS), and you can cycle through weapons you're able to use in the car (which is a lot more than previous GTA's). One is "unarmed". Then feel free to give unsuspecting peds the number 1's.

Do sticky bombs blow the door off armored cars? It says you can blow the door off and take all the money.

Yeah that's what I wanted to try, first time I tried it I got one on as it was driving away, but couldn't find the button to trigger them before it drove out of range.

Simply shooting at the rear doors of an armoured car suffices as well.

Yup, actually I think you can even shoot them open if you use a powerful gun (shotgun) and aim it right in the centre. Sticky bombs obviously work great too, I heart those things.

Ya I have trouble remembering which button on the directional pad triggers them (because in Gay Tony you pressed down, and now they changed it). Pretty sure its left on the directional pad...possibly right.

EDIT: When the random encounter icon first pops up about an armoured truck delivery, if you're quick & stealthy enough you can sneak around back and knock out the unsuspecting security guard loading the truck and just take it before he loads it, without the other security guard noticing. Only pulled it off successfully once though, usually it results in a murder-spree / police getaway type sitchy for me.

Loved the Heat style mission where you rob an armored car. Should have bought the hockey masks though.

it's left on the directional pad, yeah ... weird how much stuff they have taken to that pad. I never really used that one in games, but it seems a lot of stuff that was triggered with the Y button in GTA IV is now on the pad.

How much do you usually get from robbing an armored car? Just wondering if it is worth it.
