Was in a lobby last night where a guy was in a Tank going around killing anyone and everyone, I thought I would have a pop at being a super hero and 'Save everyones lives'. After a bit of hiding, from building to building tracking his moves I found a great position, picked my moment and fired a grenande under the tank. BOOM that should stop him, tank up in the air, him on fire, everyone can now go about there business.............. except I got kicked for being a bad sport and paid a premium for destroying someones personal vehicle.

Anyway, I have now bought a tank, if you cant beat them and all that......

tactic we found works well is just to keep running your more expensive cars into him, he loses tons of money on insurance and gets kicked pretty quickly for being a bad sport smile

this morning i logged on to a random room. went to los santos customs only to find 2 guys camping, one had blocked hiscar infront of the entrance and was shooting from behind, the other was on the roof with a sniper rifle. they were taking out everyone coming close.

what pricks, i just dont get why people are like that, it ruins a great game. ps off it COD if you want to camp out ffs.
Plenty of ways to deal with dicks like this merryweather mercs,9k bounty,air strike,rpg ,obtain a buzzard from lester etc if you act like this you're fair game.

What am I missing with the online play? I'm finding it pretty crap to be honest, I find it hard to level up only being able to do the odd repo mission here and there and keep getting picked off from miles away by people with better weapons than my mini Uzi type gun

Do some races, big pay out, big XP.

If you're a low level (up to about 30) each rank should only take 2-3 races and you'll probably get a minimum of 2k per race for coming last.

Racing,survival and the lester missions are pretty good if you want to level up.

Do I need a really quick car? I had the Zonda lookalike last night, but it wouldn't let me keep it as it had a tracker!

I'll add myself to the ps3 wiki and maybe join in some proper heists

If you're low level, (and therefore a bit squishy) just start in an Invite Only/Solo room, then use the Quick Race feature on the phone to jump straight into an activity. No sniping from griefers, no muggings, you don't even need to leave your apartment/garage.

Not unless you really want to, I don't think they offer a huge advantage over the selection of stock cars offered at the start of each race.
In fact I reckon the bling rimz, Dixie Horn and wing are better than bullseyes at identifying the Crashy Mc Smashy types in each race.

No, when you enter a race they're split into classes, SUV, Supercars, Sports, Off Roaders etc and you get to choose a stock car from any of the ones in that class so you don't need to buy loads of expensive cars to make money.

Yea you need to.. add yourself to the wiki, sign up to social club, link your psn account to social club, request an invitation to the crew, wait for an invitation, accept the invitation.. then wait for PHers to invite you to things smile
You don't have to have a fast car. Some races you can't even use your own vehicles in.
Join the crew and we'll look out for you smile

Yeah you dont need a quick car at all. People tend to race to the objectives in missions but you'll always beat scarble if he carries on using his bobcat...
Personally I like the $9000 Dinka Akuma bike. Once upgraded its the quickest thing in the game.

The online game is a lot more fun once you start playing with other crew members and friends.

edit - im not seeing the request on the social club, either scarble got it, its delayed or its gone somewhere else. You went for the pistonheads on and not speed matters?

I did have the misfortune of sitting on your dodgy bike once. I remember it well. You killed us with a train.

Naughty Train !

As said tho, join games with a few PHer's head towards them, give it 5 mins and something will start happening, im not saying what could happen but take lots of ammo and make sure you have vehicle insurance.

Yep Ammo and vehicle insurance are a necessity when a group of PH are in one area - it usually means a non PH is gonna die
