Get yourself tooled up. Get some armour. Use cover and move when Packie tells you.

Also, once you are in the car being chased, make use of Kiki's rather handy special ability

Kiki is one of the girls on lovemeet.net

Just finished collecting all the hidden packages so I can get the Annihilator helicopter without cheating in single player, talk about long winded lol.

Loved the three leaf clover mission got through it on the second go and it reminded me of the bank job in the film "Heat"

You can get it without cheating, either on the star shaped building roof, or on finishing the story it's in the airport

Thats almost right

Its in the airport when you complete the game but ontop of the star building its just a normal helicopter with no guns until you do the hidden packages aka pigeons

There was a lot of confusion over this one, all the guides, even official said that pigeons gave you missles, this is untrue, however as you've obviously proved the pigeons do unlock the mini gun so atleast it does something for all your hard work

I'm just driving the Sultan RS with the bonnet scoop all the time now

In blue or black or course

Online I don't know why but no-one seems bothered about the mission mode and just want to belt around the city smashing things instead of the team mission lol

I loved the 3 leaf clover mission. Took me two attempts (my first one I discovered you could set yourself on fire if you got too close to a vehicle in flames )
Took a while to loose the wanted level though! Didn't know about Kiki! would have tried dating her before that mission LOL!

when you get the francis missions, you get a choice of killing one of his targets or somebody else, depending on who you choose, you also have the option of loosing the wanted level, although i have not used it yet.

the wanted level can be lost very easy if you leg it back down into the subway and run away, no cops turn up!

must get the story bit finished sometime this week, think my game is around 51% ish

loved the mission where you have to protect that gay jogging around the park, the way he was running had me in stiches

although i was tanked up on stella last friday when i did it as i was going away on holiday in the afternoon lol

Do some drug runs for Jacob and have you done all the car stealing missions for Brucie?
I find the game does have slack points (and absolutely manic ones). Enjoy cruising whilst it's quiet
