Question are there two different sniper rifles?

I got one in a mission from a van,
now when I speak to my waepons dealer, I can't buy ammo, just another rifle. ($5000)
Is it better just to keep what I have, or buy the new one?

I think it sucks that you can't equip ALL the weapons.

Yep. There are two different everythings apart from the rocketlauncher and grenades/molotovs.

Like the other weapons, the difference is negligible.

Yeah, I got this idea for a book.

It involves a ring of great power that must be destroyed.

A group of nine chosen from the world's various races band together in an effort to destroy the ring.

However, there's a hitch.

The ring can only be carried by dwarf-like creatures called "blobbits" who are very peaceful in nature.

do the molotovs replace the grenades?

I have maxed all my weapons, except for the sniper. It's annoying that I can't buy ammo for it through my discounted dealer.

Can anyone explain me how to fight ?

I want to get the achievement of the 10 fights in 4 minutes, but after 2 or 3 fights I'm very low on health, I don't understand how to counter-attack, it works sometimes, others don't and I get kicked my ass fastly :(

In other news, Halo is exactly like Resistance and Splinter Cell is the same as Metal Gear. /shittylogic

When you switch weapons of the same type, the ammo from the old one carries over.

oh really? Good to know. My TV suffers from overscan, so I have no idea how much ammo I actually have. It's sucks all sorts of ass. I wish Rockstar would fix it through a patch.

EDIT: Is the alternate to the UZI better? I find the uzi lacking.

Most likely you didn't press it early enough. They dodge timing window isn't all that generous. So if you don't press sorta early, you'll get punched in the face and combo'd. It makes countering jabs a pain in the ass. :lol

If you just want it for the achievement, it doesn't actually matter if you die. Only the time matters.

I got an in-game map of the locations of all the secret stuff (weapons, armor, items, random characters, pigeons, vehicles etc) after beating the game, but I only used it once to get free armor so I don't have to pay for it anymore.

Whoa, what? That's a really cool end-game reward! Does it tell you where specific weapons are?

btw, I think Gervais is funny. Where else do you hear standup about the Faulklands? C'mon!

It's what I use 90% of the time.

Don't know if it's actually better than the Uzi, but I use it because, like AstroLad, it's what I use in other games when given a similar choice.. Heh.

Seemingly, the Uzi fires faster but the other is more accurate. Never actually compared them side by side though. Especially since you can only carry one or the other.

It's not that extensive. Lets take weapons for example:
It'll point out all the locations of the hidden weapons all over the game world, but it won't tell you exactly what weapon is in each location.

Wait, is the "UZI" the "Mini-SMG"?

Because I don't use the little one, I use the cop one.

oh damn, if i can keep my ammo, I will have to switch it up then. I think the uzi is super weak. I'm pretty sure the discount deals sells the SMG right?

The AK I have is pretty fantastic though, I just like to save it for special occasions.

How can I trust you to watch my back in the upcoming zombie apocalypse that is Left4Dead and you don't know what an Uzi is? :/

Yeah, the Uzi is the "mini-smg" and the cop one is seemingly what myself and everyone uses. :lol

Do you ever find the combat pistol normally in the game, as in enemy drop? I have about 10 missions to go and heard of its existence and just bought it at the store, super powerful.

Shame Jacob doesn't sell ammo for it :(

Some multi-player questions:

2) Is there a list of all the unlockable multi-player clothes?

More accurately. It also attracts a wide demographic which brings in the younger online pretend gangstas.

The booting system is hard to do and way you mute people is too slow. Another example of poor online multiplayer design.

I know you're joking, but I'm always surprised that people don't notice that all the popular "violent" online games attract the same audience of douche quality.

Anything with killing, shooting etc (particularly vs other players) is going to have a much lower average IQ than, lets say.. a racing game.

well since casual gamers buy it, and alot of casual gamers are morons.

At least in my experience, then again, you might have a different opinion on what 'casual' really means in gaming terms :).

I see them as the people who buy FIFA every year ;)

Actually the regulars who buy sports games (except maybe Madden where you are dipping into a pop culture phenom) are generally much more respectable than the shooter crowd on average. Especially since you end up playing them one on one and lots of sports games have separate feedback systems versus the useless default xbox live one.

I wasn't actually joking, but yeah it's the most popular game ever, so more douchebags and morons are going to be playing it.

And yes, violent online games do always have more idiots playing online as well, it's like that cartoon in GTAIV with the rednecks :lol

"I dunno what he's sayin' I just want to shoot"

:lol

I hope I'm not offending anyone, I don't mean casual as in, people who only buy games once in a while :).

Need some help with a minor mission (Stevie):

It's the second car I need to find, the Super GT. It's supposed to be on a Calcium Street, near a 69 Exchange store, but I can't for the love of God find it.
Anyone know where to find it?

It's basically a bunch of 12-years old who learnt new swear words thank to the single-player and now use those in multi-player.

I hope their 360 RROD.

By the way, i want to ask something very stupid that probably was one of the first GTA IV info, back when it was announced: is this Liberty City the same one of GTA 3?
Any GTA 3 player that found some similar places, or something?

Sorry but i only tried GTA 3 for like 1 hour :D

Very much not. Way bigger, way more faithful to the actual nyc- the original liberty city wasn't supposed to by nyc, just an amalgam of east coast cities. They have almost nothing in common.

Similar layout, but it's most definitely not exactly the same. Once you get to Algonquin and start driving around, you immediately notice your old stomping grounds. Middle park, the streets, the bridges, the location of your 1st hideout in GTA3 etc. But it's not a 1:1 representation.

Does the health cheat fix your car? I'm OCD about the cars I keep and whenever I get a little damage on them I have to take it to a pay n spray or find a new ride.

Just park it at your hideout's reserved space. When you leave the area/island and come back the car re-loads with everything else and is repaired good as new.

No money spent.

edit:
..and since we're on the subject of the Pay N Spray, it's complete fucking bullshit that you STILL can't just pick a color you want and instead have to drive in and out hoping and praying that it'll actually be the color you want.

I hate to constantly bring it up, but SR did that better too.

You can get that end game reward map at anytime. Just go to the internet in-game and enter "whattheydontwantyoutoknow.com"

All the weapon drops will show up on the map for you. I haven't tried it yet cause I bought the guide but they showed that a couple of days ago on Xplay.
And it doesn't effect achievements at all because it's not actually a cheat, just a secret.
