If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

playing every bullet counts will level up stealth pretty quick and you'll have fun doing it.

Basically level everything but stealth and strength just by playing the game. Those two may require extra effort as no one really plays that mode and strength is stupid.

For stealth, just tap the left stick to go into stealth walk and then slowly walk in it across the map along route 68 from coast to coast, and you'll get nearly full stealth. Doesn't take allt hat long, and you can just watch something else at the same time

I didn't know you could level stealth in Free Mode. I played a lot of Death Matches working on that poo poo.

it's basically walk x yards in stealth = 1% stealth bonus. I did it doing contact missions, just stealthwalking everywhere. Doing that in DMs is just hating yourself.

Well, this was back on PS3 before all the "$1,000,0000,000000000 10,00,000,000RP" deathmatch shitshows.

It was actually funny because going stealth in a Deathmatch makes you vanish off of the radar, and people had a really hard time dealing with that for some reason.

one of the perks to being a high level is you can automatically ignore anyone who's a lower level than you

this means you can effectively ignore this entire thread. There, see? Your hard work has not gone unrewarded.

I know Rockstar is, uh, sometimes very dumb, but it seems like even they have realized the RP treadmill was a mistake. Note how almost all of the new content that's come out since launch hasn't been level locked, or has been level locked to something extremely low? Many good level 0 weapons instead of 42 for your first rifle worth talking about. Explosives and launchers too. Heists are like, rank 12. Whether you can complete it or not at 12 is another thing entirely, but even they seem to have noticed the leveling was a bust.

I leveled up Stealth by starting at one end of the airport runway, entering stealth mode, and putting something on the W key. Took about three runway lengths to max it.

I wonder if JP are behind the scenes related to heist bronze-to-platinum rankings, which do have a minor RP impact on your total.

I've read that the votes on the voting screen are weighted by JP, but I have no idea if that's true or not.

I'd like them to keep making single player GTA's but if they want to do a one-time reduced price for single player, then have a completely separate free to play online game that's funded by shark cards that'd be just fine with me. Assuming they actually figured out how to prevent hacking. I don't think they'll do either though. They'll just keep half-assing it and all that money that comes in from shark cards is just a bonus.

Partial credit.

Job points are used for tiebreaking votes. When there are an equal amount of votes the job points are calculated for each side of the vote and the side with the most points passes it.

GTAIV was kinda boring as well. The shoddy PC port didn't help matters either.

Still, I liked it for one of it's radio stations exposing me to ambient electronic music. Driving those boat-like cars with greased tires through empty streets at night while Tangerine Dream or Jean Mitchel Jarre playing in the background was a zen-like experience for me. The Tangerine Dream soundtrack in GTAV is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to it, that and it's fun to play with goons, most of the time.

No. If you invite someone who's using a different aim type it will (or used to, at least) notify them that their aim mode will change and ask if they want to continue.

Does anyone feel like helping me get a Roosevelt while I am computer less for the coming week? I can't abide another year without one and I won't be at a computer until February 17 or 18. I'm pretty sure the Valentine's Day stuff will only last on the 14-15th but correct me if I am wrong

Do you have the game on Steam or through Rockstar launcher? I can help if it's the Rockstar, but I won't do the steam one...

Everyone expects it to start the 12th, there will probably be Old Roosevelt and New Roosevelt Valor (?) and new clothes. I hope they bring back the Gusenberg, also, because the Gusenberg is fun and good.

For the record, YouTube always has the latest data mined crap for future updates (if there is any). I watched a YouTube video showing all of the new Roosevelt upgrades and all the new clothes the day after the last update dropped.
