I think this is the first GTA game where you could actually go *inside* the water. In GTA Vice city all i can remember is if you touch the water you get instantly wasted.

Yeh unless you had a trainer for that one too...
Then your stuck in the water.... Or if you get lucky, you'll fall through the ocean floor and reappear on land...

I think I killed freddy once... In the PS2 ver.. before the end that is....
I was shooting the whole time and his bike blew up.... then it jumped to the cut scene at the park/ basketball court. I thought... ?huh? how'd I get here.

The "lock-on" rockets, found at the San Fierro airport.. are sweet..
The mission with Torreno in the chopper.... The one that leaves the police station.. If you miss him, you must follow him down the free way...

I had it locked on, and fired.... the chopper turned around a building, then I heard the BOOOOMM.. and the mission was over..
Sweet I tell ya.. didn't even need to chase him.

In PC I can't shoot while driving... Nor while walking or in car can i get my weapon to auto-aim at a person. Only way to shoot is manual aim? What gives.

How can I shoot @ the guys bike or him?? Would it just be quicker to get into a car and nock him off? Shoot him then get back onto the motorbike. I'd use the "G" button to call the guy into the car with me.

??..umm what??
PC, your using the "keyboard+mouse" control right?.. Thats what I'm using, and it won't lock-on for me either.. If I switch to a controller it will.

Shooting from a bike.. If you have Uzi's (or the like) then CJ just shoots over the bars.
I never had a lock-on aim in a car/motorcycle.. even on PS2.

On the bike CJ just shoots strait ahead, so just stay behind him... Or don't worry about killing him just stay close enough to see him.. he'll stop and then you can "cap" him.

I use mouse+keyboard. I have no controller so that means no lock-on?
Ok so regardless no lockon in car, what about just shooting manually, like a motorcycle drive-by?
Im gonna try ramming strat this round

Sorry, it seems no lock-on at all with mouse+keyboard..
Never been able to lock-on with vehicles.. (so I understand)
A drive-by is done just like the cars... Look left/right and shoot..
Just with bikes, both motor and non, CJ can shoot over the bars.

So, Cars: shoot left/right only..
Bikes: shoot front, and left/right.

I guess they figured with a mouse, we have enough control not to need lock-on...
Just get the lock-on rockets as soon as you can, you'll wonder how you did without them.. Too bad you cant use rockets and vehicles.

ok lol guys i will leave the controls to you, as i dont have the PC version, and in relation to the chopper torrenos mission i did the same thing blew up the chopper as it left, theres a screenshot in my magazine of that mission but of chasin the chopper down the freeway.


tell me more about this lock-on can you get it in the PS2 version, i dont really care about it cos im used to driving alongside the veichle im shootin and lookin sideways to shoot, the vigilate missions in GTA3 and vice city gave me enough of that practice lol, to which i find hard in san andreas cos they shoot back while they are in the cars

If you get the automatic, you can just shoot at the guy you need to take out, and his tank will explode.

As far as I know there is NO lock-on while in a car or on a bike.

The lock-on I really like is with a special rocket launcher found at the San Ferrio air port..
The normal rocket launcher (like the one "Truth" gives you) doesn't have the lock-on feature..

At the airport, it is lokated between the "fuel" tanks, in the Eastern corner of the airport.. next to the "private" jets and the two hangers.
