Those extra two weeks of prep time sure did a lot of good.

Yeah, I'm playing now.

Funny that they didn't have enough servers. How could they not have seen this coming considering the sales and had two week delay of online.

cool start to online. gotta make your lifestyle. how long u sleep n shit

i look nothing like myself.

Two fun things to do....

1) Hop aboard a train (jump up as one of the flatbed cars goes by) and start shooting. It's awesome having 3/4/5 stars and having the cops and military coming after you while you take cover in the flat car. Just make sure you have a LOT of assault rifle, sniper rifle, and RPG ammo. It's a good way to "survive" a 5 star rating, because you will hit tunnels where they won't follow you into at some point, and if you stay in there, you'll hit that achievement.

2) If you want to go on a vehicular rampage in regards to the cops/military, steal a dump truck. You won't outrun them, but their bullets won't blow up your vehicle and you can ram their roadblocks w ease. Have some sticky bombs for when you run into huge packs of vehicles; nothing like dropping one on one of those military trucks as you plow through, and detonating it about 10 feet past....and watching it take out about 15 vehicles And just like w the train, if you can do it in the mountain areas and hide in a ravine/underpass where they don't see you, you can evade the 5*

I've been trying to steal a tank. It's tough.

I found an airport the other day, but could not get into it to steal it.
I will have to find where you can get a tank.

I also cannot figure out how to buy a helicopter.
I am good at flying the plane though.

I have only really dedicated 1 full evening though to the game so far, besides an hour here and there.


Fun as hell though so far.

The tank is on the military base. As for buying a helicopter, not sure how you can do that....I know you can spawn one w a cheat, and there are a few missions where you use one and then can just hop in and take off afterwards.

Buy a hanger then go on your phone and buy a chopper.

You have to buy a helipad for choppers. Don't know why they wouldn't put a pad near the hangar or just combine the two, but that's how it works. You can also buy the tank for your hangar for $3 million I think. With Michael I always have a harrier in my hangar. Not sure how it happened because I've stolen them 20+ times, put them in my hangar and when they are destroyed they are gone forever. But this time it just keeps respawning there.

I didn't have to buy a helipad. I swore it has an H on the map and there is already a helipad on there.
I will check again.

I already bought a hanger, just couldn't figure out where on the phone to buy a chopper.
