I take one of the Sentinel's from outside Jimmy's mansion, it's pretty fast, but also it's strong. I gave up on the sports cars, they are not tough enough, I've found whatever car you pick the games IR then chooses similar, even if you choose a manky Manana.

I agree Matt, after finishing the main story and doing the police missions and Brucie's races, I really can't be bothered to search the map for every pigeon and jump, especially as each of these things only adds an additional 2.5% to your overall score. I'm happy to settle for around 85%.

Ouch ! I remember this was a small problem when the Xbox first launched but I though they had sorted it out. How old's the console ? Did you move it while the disc was playing ? If not I would try contacting Microsoft and letting them know that your console is scratching disc's.

It wasn't me that did it, it was my brother so he's getting a beating when i get home

He claims he didn't move the xbox and has been playing games on it since and they haven't scratched. It hasn't happened before so i'll wait to see if it happens again before contacting microsoft because i would have to pay to get it repaired.

DON'T buy anymore disks, it will only scratch those as well. I had exactly the same problem Shadow, at first the new game plays then within a week or so it would freeze, saying this disk is unreadable. The disc drive is slightly out of alignment, causing the scratches, MS fixed mine which was just out of warranty for £35 and no problems since.

I'm happy. I managed to annoy loads of Americans.

I love online free roam. All I did was out run them using the subway system. One of them started giving me abuse and I couldn't stop laughing.

The younger one's do get very, very carried away and angry, so much so you can't help laughing.

Yeah, it's all fun though. I just love how determine they get when they try to catch you, it's crazy. It's a lot better when the kids sound like 10 as well because their voices sound funny.

I love annoying the yanks as well.

What gets me is that there are loads of under 18s there, some as young as 10, makes me feel a bit guilty about swearing.

Are you insane?! Yesterday I was in a game and someone who was well under 18 was like "Come on everyone, get to the airport and stop being fannies". He started getting proper aggressive because we wouldn't go in. Have you had anyone determined to catch you yet? If so take them onto the subway.

I know what your saying cimt, you do get some right little Hitler's who want to be the "general" of the team. On COD4 a few weeks back I was playing on Block and this little kid got the right snot, because I was apparently in "his sniping spot", he got even angrier when I and others on the team began laughing.

Now if I'm not playing with friends I rarely bother with the headset, if I do, as soon as I'm put in a game and I hear the unmistakably squeaky high pitched shout of a ten year old I'm off.

Lol I had a laugh on it yeasterday with a couple american guys. First when I was setting up the match it was"Yo, man why you doing that why dont you set it as this" on almost all setting's lol. Then when playing he had it in for me. Even had his friend in the backround giving him directions to get me lol. He came last but was a good laugh. Guys were abit over the top at times but was all in good spirt. Not often do you find that with the CHILDREN on most the time.

Agreed icestar, I've just come off live after a few hours on COD4, I like to get up to 8 friends together then get us all in to the same game on free-for-all, tonight we had 3 Americans in our group and had a great evening. Playing together on free-for-all you still get points so as to rank up, so we were making up dopey rules like just grenades or just noob tubes, it was hilarious, a great time was had by all.

Who's killed a Rockstar developer so far then?

I killed one earlier.

Hom3r · 31-05-2008, 11:44

I played on free play last night with some guys from work and some we met on line, we only had rocket launchers and set it so we didn't die (unless you hit building or fell a great height), we had a wicked time at the airport with rotor blades.

Has anybody here done the playground glitch? You drive a car to the swings then slowly ride up then, you then get shot across the screen.
