Handy - but still no remedy for the missions where the weapon you've been
collecting ammo for is suddenly replaced.

They should have given CJ a weapons locker at selected properties.
Weapons and ammo could then be placed into or removed from the locker.

Something akin to the metal detectors at Leaf Links or Escobar airport
in GTA: Vice City would be good.

After completing around 55% of the game by getting to the western
island, I maxed out the ammo for the Colt Python, combat shotgun and
Uzi (Made the ammo counter disappear) by doing rampages.

One of the first missions ("Bar Brawl") replaced my trusty magnum with
a $*?£ing 9mm! Remedy - Go to Leaf Links and go through the metal
detector, then go back after the mission.

You can do this quite a lot through the game, but obviously it won't
matter too much further in to the game when you can simply buy them
from Ammu-Nation.


Cheers,
Rob

That's one of the very few things that I don't like about the GTA games.
It just seems like whenever the game picks a weapon for you, it's going
to be inferior to whatever weapon you already had. In the case of the
hidden package awards, I tend to only like about 1/2 of what they chose
(although GTAIII actually rewarded you with worthwhile weapons from the
hidden packages). Whether or not IV fixes these things remains to be
seen, but if not, I still know I'll have too much fun to care that much

So did Vice City - the sniper rifle, Python, and minigun are nothing to
sneeze at.

I hope they do some work on the vehicle recycling code and hungry
garages then.

It's got to the point now where I don't ever assume a vehicle is going
to be where I left it if it goes off screen, even if I leave the door
open.

And I have zero confidence in San Andreas garages. I put a Sanchez
and an FCR900 in my garage in Fort Carson the other day. Went into
the house to save, came back out and opened the garage door - no FCR.
It is a weird garage - if you walk inside and stand under the sloped
roof to the left, the camera sweeps back into chase view rather than
the fixed garage angle. No excuse, though - garages should just work
if not over full.

It's been widely reported that GTA has some problems with storing
vehicles, but personally I've never had a problem. Sure, I've lost some
hard-earned proofed cars but that's basically down to me over-crowding
the garage in the first place.

Even in SA, the most trouble I've had is the erasure of my modded paint
jobs for some of Wheel Arch Angel customised sports cars.


Cheers,
Rob
