You will go into skydive mode and land in the water still in skydive mode. This is impossible to get out of and you will drown. Beware you will have to load and do it again... fucking a.

Next time I came back around the Flash was gone, and I took out my frustration on the Cabby with a couple grenades. I think it's what happens when you park the two cars close enough that CJ just 'spawns' outside the car instead of getting out the door like normal. Another observation... I was able to buy hotdogs from the Chili Dog stands...AFTER shooting the clerks down. Still cost me a dollar though. When you jack a plane, and 'crash it' while on land so that it catches fire, simply bail out of the plane and it will revert to the 'black smoke' damage. Then you can get back in and resume flying. R* has planted an annoying fail-safe in Vigilante when you find a car you want to jack - not available in that region normally - and you cancel the mission...the suspect tends to go full blast and drive into the nearest patch of water. ------------------

Deleted Member	I just wanted to say that the 2 Player mode reminds me of the hours I wasted at work playing GTA 1, London, and 2 over the network with my coworker. Gouranga.com was always my go-to source for the original 2-D game. Didn't the new manual give y'all 'props'? Congrats!!!! The new 2p mode is a great place to create your own unique games/challenges. Riding "shotgun" (though you can only use SMG) with a 2p partner moving the target reticle around is lame, compared to grabbing a pickup truck or Fire Engine, etc and having your partner stand on top, using ALL weapons. You can even fly with 2p on the wing.

Joined::Jul '03 Posts::666	When you first meet Ken Rosenburg in Las Venturas, he says that the only thing he's got now is his parrot called Tony, and then the parrot says "I never fucked over anybody in my life that didn't have it coming to him." which is quote from Scarface. On one of the other missions for Rosenburg he says "It'll be just like old times Tommy" to which CJ says "Who the fuck is Tommy?" ------------------

Compared to the Sentinel, the car really looks like it's worth 'less than your shirt.' The GTA3 Guy is officially Claude Speed, aka the GTA2 Guy. Movie here. ------------------

Fly your chosen vehicle to the Gant Bridge and locate the two tall supports, go for the southern one. Fly all the way to the top and land on the top girder (this is where the jetpack comes in handy). When on the top girder, go look at the eastern part of the girder, theres a nice sign from R* there! Also check out the visitor centre on the San Fierro side of the bridge, east of the toll booths. Theres a sign that gives info about the bridge, including polygons, texures etc, and the fact that the bridge "takes up a staggering 1.25 Mb of disk space". Find and enjoy! ------------------

Though that would be cool if you could. Maybe we oughta make the forklift a tad heavier? The fence round back of the Jefferson Motel is one-way...meaning you could jump over into the yard but not back out. ------------------

That garage is veeery slow to open for me too, but it always does eventually. Sometimes it takes as long as thirty seconds. Be wary of that garage anyway though. I took a police car down into the police parking garage in San Fierro...exploring all the PD places hoping to find a cop uniform...and when I got to the back corner of it I saw two heavily-modified and sloppily parked cars I recognized as being from my garage near Wang. Ran back to my garage with one of them and sure enough, those two were missing.

Deleted Member	Speaking of the police garage, if you are driving a police vehicle it's actually the safest place to be if your wanted. Even 5-star wanted. The cops standing around down there rarely react to your presence unless you get out of the car. Sometimes they suddenly see you and attack you after a minute down there, and sometimes they'll draw their guns and point them at a wall and that's it. I've taken to calling them the "short-bus squad".

Whack it into two player mode and have the second player hack at CJ with the sword. If you're lucky, you should decapitate him and kill him. Now, when you go back to one-player, CJ should be minus a head. Just a spurting stump... And you can run around still! ------------------ WORST. VIDEOGAME. EVER.

Modus Joined: Oct '04 Posts: 32	Well, I don't know if this has been discussed at other forums, but I have not found it mentioned in any strategy guides [or here, for that matter]. While exploring in San Fierro, I came across a commercial building about 4 blocks North of the Wang Cars showroom [estimate]. This building has open doors on the corners [NorthWest corner, West and North faces], with a glass windowed front. You can see sculpture and trees from outside. Upon entering the building, you notice the room to be high-ceilinged and 'airey', with a bank of elevators in the rear. These elevators are labeled according to the levels they service, with five total elevators visible on the Southern Wall. The central Elevator has the following above: 'Secret Zombie Lab Only'. Across the room on a pillar [or two] is a diagram showing the building's shape and size, dictating that there is a massive chamber beneath the building itself. This chamber is also labeled 'Secret Zombie Lab'. This is all an obvious parallel to the 'Resident Evil' series of games / movies and specifically the 'Umbrella Corporation'. Anyways, I thought it was cool, thought I'd bring it to your attention. If this is 'new news', well, kudos to me. ------------------ [ m o d u s ]
