Favourite GTA 3 Mission????

Ry

What are you're favourite missions to play. Mine is Joey's "The Getaway" Mission. I have a save game just before that mission so i can play it over and over. For those who dont remember(Shame on you), it's the bank robbery mission where you pick up the three guys and go rob the bank and drive from 3 stars of police. I love trying it in different vehicles. I've used the Enforcer, Rumpo XL and the Securicar. It's class watchin the mafia dudes jumpin out of the back when i reverse up to the entrance.

Hmmm good Q.
That one was my fav for a while but think mine is when you ahve to whack the Chinese guys in Chinatown.
Using different cars getting a few guys to help out is cool

I use the Prodigy Experience Expanded Cd as my MP3 radio and trying to do any mission which involves driving really fast is great

Excuse the inevitable stupid question, but can you play your own music in lieu of the ingame radio stations. If so, how do you do this - by replacing the mp3's in the play folder in GTA3 with your own mp3's??

Mr. Fancypants

Just pop any mp3s u want into the mp3 folder (its in the main gta3 directory). Then just switch to the mp3 station in your car

I rather enjoyed gathering up all the prostitutes for the Policeman's ball. Its great if you take a bus and get all the prostitutes onto your giant pimp mobile in one run.

My fave mission has to be the El Burro mission called "I scream, you scream", where you have to collect a bomb, hijack an ice cream van, and then detonate it to kill the Forellis. I was laughing for ages afterwards; the way you have to "lure these fools to their doom with the jeengle-jeengle"...classic!

Other favourite missions include the "Sayonara Salvatore" one, where you have to kill Salvatore Leone in order to prove to Asuka that "your ties with the Mafia are truly broken". It's the first mission you do after reaching Staunton. I like it because there are so many ways to of killing him. Donald Love's mission "Grand Theft Aero" and the final mission involving Catalina's "Exchange", I really like also, mainly because they're challenging and you get to kill LOTS of Cartel (whom I HATE ).

On the flipside, I generally dislike all of Marty Chonks missions, as they're a bit bland and samey (imo). Also, those 4x4 side-missions where you drive a jeep over perilous terrain in order to collect checkpoints within strict timelimits...I though they were just too frustrating. Just my 2 cents.

I actually really like Turismo for El Burro cos you actually get to race people.
I hate the collect the porn mission though.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeahg, after tryin that porn one 5 times i just decided to **** it and didn't do any more phone missions

mny fav one is prob the first yardie mission, (on the phone in staunton island), the race one.. i love it

Kix

Heh. You should do the porn mission. It's tough but you don't have to get all the bundles. If you miss one or two, just keep going.

When you complete it you get a couple of bundles of Donkey Pr0n mags at your hideout!

See, I told you it was worth it

Niko-Who is Marty Chonks?I dont remember ever meeting him.Is he the dog food factory owner?
As for the porn mission is that the 1 where el burros car full of porn was stolen and burned by the chinese and so you must kill 20 triads?I hate that mission.Im still not by it and i must have added a thousand to my death toll[ive been burning crowds to death in order to kill one or 2 triads].

[niKo]

Marty Chonks is indeed the Bitch 'n' Dog Factory owner. His phone doesn't have blue marker around it and it doesn't show up on the map. You have to find him yourself . His phone can be found one block east of Joey's Garage, and it rings between 9am and 6pm.

[niKo]

Gah, I forgot to add this. There are 2 missions you do for El Burro concerning porn . The first one involves you picking up a flame-thrower and killing 25 Triads. The second one involves driving a van around Portland collecting porn magazines that are scattered on the streets. What makes this difficult is the poor handling of the van; it tends to flip over too often.

The Gopher

Thanks Niko but ive still a problem with the triads.Is there any particular enclosed place where i can find 20 triads[i think its 20 not 25] and burn them all together within a few seconds?The flame thrower slows down your speed of running and so makes it hard to find all the triads in time:( Thanks.

Stephen

I like doing the police car vigilante missions on staunton island They're generally good fun - I find the easiest way to complete them is to pull up beside the car you're chasing and fill it with bullets from your uzi

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

gopher, there's a basketball court nearby with anbout 10-15 triads in it

and theres tons of em walking the street all the time too..

[niKo]

One weird way of doing the Vigilante missions is to pause, and then unpause the game once your runaway criminal is in your sights. For some strange reason (I think it's a bug), your pausing/unpausing has the effect of forcing your criminal to stop his/her vehicle and step outside. When this happens, the criminal will start shooting mindlessly at civilians etc, which gives you ample opportunity to run him/her down. Doing it this way is MUCH easier than attempting to knock the vehicle out of action/shooting at the vehicle etc.

Makaveli

Nice tip niko.
Kix my problem with the donkey porn mission is that I didn't do it when it first became availible so now it's nearly impossible to do seeing as the mafia keep blowing me up with their shotguns. So I hate it.
I also hate the mission for the Hoods, the very first one where you have to shoot 25 purple 9's or something, the closest I got was 23 dead then I ran out of time. That mission is way to hard.

[niKo]

The mission where you kill the purple 9s is rock hard, but there is a relatively easy way to do it. What you need is the bullet-proof Patriot you get from doing the Ray's last mission: "Marked Man" (the one where the CIA are guarding the bridge to Shoreside with M16 rifles, and you have to find an alternative way). Do this mission and you'll be able to merrily blast those purple 9s without any fear of getting blown up . Also, another thing you can do to make it slightly easier, is to drive straight to the dead-end road behind your garage. This place is loaded with purple 9s and from here you won't have to worry about those hood's Rumpo vans or cop cars chasing you everywhere, cos it's a dead-end.

Makaveli

Damn it, I dont have the patriot anymore. I think I used it for another mission flipped it and well you know what happens when you flip a car...

[niKo]

All is not lost! There is another way to get a bullet-proof car. Go back to Portland and go to El Burro's phone. It'll still be ringing, so take his mission (the one where you race the Cheetahs). Now you'll need some heavy duty truck to do this, the firetruck or the Linerunner will do. When you get to the long street where the Cheetahs are waiting, speed down towards them and smash into one at an angle. Hopefully, the Cheetah you hit will flip over and land upside-down. Wait till the race is over. Now, you need to push the Cheetah back to your hideout, all the while NEVER letting the Cheetah out of your site. When you push the Cheetah into your hideout (has to be upright), close the garage and save the game. You've now got a bullet-proof Cheetah...

Of course, that's a pretty time-consuming way of doing things! Alternatively, before you actually accept the hood's mission, you could park lots of cars into your garage. Take the mission and immediately drive back to the dead-end behind your garage. Start blasting away, and if your car goes on fire, you can get out, run to your hideout, and take another vehicle and continue. Also, when you do this mission, don't drive in fast cars like the Banshee/Cheetah etc. as they're too weak to withhold machine gun fire. You need some durable vehicle like a van/truck/Patriot or something. I remember doing this mission once, and after killing a load of hoods and my car going on fire, I got out and an ambulance came along . I jacked the ambulance and from then on the mission was pretty easy-going cos the ambulance is pretty durable. Anyways, good luck on this mission. Lemme know how you get on

Poo. I can't go near the St. Mark's neighbourhood either. I'm trying to go back and do a few vigilante/ambulance/firetruck missions and they keep shotgunning my car into a million pieces. You generally get no warning that it's about to explode, just goes boom!

K

The Gopher

Kix-I think the average vehicle explodes after 2 shotgun blasts.
P.S-Thanks Mordeth ill try it out.

Stephen

Is there any way to stop random gimps on the street shooting you as you drive past? Its really bloody annoying me.

The Gopher

Ive sometimes found they tend not to notice you if you drive at very high speed.Also you could try doing drive by shootings of them but this could perhaps attract more mafia men after you.Therees a few parts of st marks where the guners are concentrated.There seems to be a few that hang around on the right hand side across from st marks resturaunt.Also a few near Salvatores mansion and in Harwood near the petrol station on the st marks border.

Lex_Diamonds

I find a good way to get through mafia territory with your car intact is to drive in the centre of the road as much as possible and at a good speed, the shotguns effective range is very low and I always survive trips through the area using this technique,

On another note, its a very good idea to have the bulletproof Hum vee for the last mission as it makes it a hell of a lot easier

Makaveli

Yeah well I had a few more goes at it, and the porn mission is not as hard as I believed it to be. Once you learn the line if you dont flip the van or crash it too much you should be able to fly through it.
The cutscene when you finish the mission is well worth the effort anyway .

As for trying to get one of those Cheetahs. 3 times, count it 1 2 3 times I had one in the garage and they just disappeared. What's that all about?

Ry

Man My Bullet Proof vehicles came in handy for a fair few jobs tbh. Specially the Rampage where you have to run down all the cartel dudes on shoreside vale and they are all shootin AKs at your vehicle. I did it in the Patriot you see in this pic. The Cheetah is bullet proof, flame proof and explosion proof though. And yes it WAS a bitch to get but i managed in the end. I only needed the bullet proof factor for the cartel rampage though so the hummer did the job. I love driving through St. Marks in the Hummer watchin the mafia dudes trying to blow my car to hell with shottys all over the place. The bullets bouncing off as i cruise through their turf. I love my babies All my other garages are filled with REAL FBI Cars and not the fake ones!!!! 3 in my Shoreside Vale Garage. Dont use them though cuz i rarely go over there. Just sometimes on Mad runs from the fbi in my Hummer which is also PERFECT for chases since its near impossible to flip and same again to write off. This is one of the mad chases ive done with the FBI in the Hummer before usually trying to get away in the dodo and flying into the see to drown myself. Such is life i guess :P

Ry

.ak

Bank job ownage. Pulling up in a rumpo or better, a securicor, and watching the lads hop out the back, and run in shooting, and then driving off and pulling a Heat scene with aks and shotties (unless you cheated, and used that sweet, sweet M16 :P)

But I'd have to say one of my favorites has to be S.A.M: It's so fun escaping in either boat or plane, and having to deal with police boats and choppers with 'your little friend, sam'.

Another is the last mission for the Hoods, when you have to drive the Infernus from city 3 to city 1 in a very short amount of time without even tapping the car. Class.

But the best part of GTA3 is the little things that happen during the hours of endless play, like today, I was wanted by 4 stars, I escaped into the airport and stole a Dodo, and went down the 'taxi' route, not the main runway, and when I was about to take off, I spotted a line of policecars. I just managed to take off, and skim over the cop cars, and I quickly switched to cinematic view, to see a flyby of my plane over the heads of the cops.. Most of them jumped onto the ground or ducked, but one mother****er had the ****ing balls to 'jump' (It was a bit of a glitch) 2 or 3 foot off the ground into the air, fling the door of the Dodo open, and grab my leg and reef me out of the Dodo; I feel to the ground, surrounded by bemused cops, while my Dodo went off into the sky... If you've spotted my dodo, please ring this number...

another way to get thru mafia turf is to use the tunnel behind 8 balls bomb shop, well handy once you get used to using it
