Grand Theft Auto IV

[rahul]

jst finished the last mission "out of commision". its a bit short i feel. probably the coolest mission i did was "three leaf clover".

[Roonie]

My gawd wat an awesome game ...

Three Leaf Clover was a friggin killer mission. Really good fun. Did anyone else feel the STRONG resemblance to the movie Heat??? Al Pacino, Val Kilmer etc. it was just too cool ...

^^ in multiplayer

To that list I would add -

 

1 Jumping (from a great height) off a Helicopter that you are flying and landing on the roof of a moving car. Hard as hell to do but so very worth it. Try bailing out when you are on top of a wide road.

2 Killing people with the helicopters blade.

3 Using the firetrucks water cannon to spray people off a bridge.

4 Shooting the snipers in the police choppers and watching them fall onto the street. I swear one cop fell (out of a moving helicopter) on top of a guy who was running (in the street).

5 Finding out that the roadside sightseeing binoculars (is that what they are called?) actually work.

[Aftrunner]

Completed Three ...clover mission rght now.The most f**king awesomest mission ever in any game in my life Gr8 intense action.Got through it on my 5 th try.Neways i killed Dwayne in my 3rd choice.Does Px have any further role?????.Also completed 37% of teh f**king game and havent shot a single pigeon.Just dont seem to find dem.

 

You NEED to watch Heat. The whole mission is almost a direct rip off from the one of the films best set peices.

[rahul]

u get the pigeons if u watch carefully all around u. although most of them are well hidden n impossible to find without help some of them are visible even in the cutscenes.

[ctrl_alt_del]

Noticed something inside the chopper.

 

It goes something like this,

 

"This chopper may crash

but we don't really care.

Refer to manual for help"
