GTA Vice City Helicopter Mission…

[stellarcomics]

This is for you, Ant;
The helicopter mission is impossible to solve; until you realize it's one of the easiest to solve…
The timer doesn't start until you pick up the first bomb… so use the helicopter to kill all of the bldg. security guards 1st (take your time), and then go back and plant the bombs. You'll have plenty of time to plant them once you've killed all the guards.
I wish I were smart enough to figure that out myself, but I saw it online.

That one was fairly simple to figure out IMO. The hard one was Zero's RC plane mission in SA.

I fucking hate David Cross having heard him whine a thousand times.

[stellarcomics]

I passed that one twice (while finishing the whole game), and have never made it past the gatling gun part again.

i can't navigate the helicopter for shit...what is the trick to making it go forward quickly?

Just like the big one's, but touchier. Tilt forward about 35 degrees. You'll "Feel" it when it's in the right spot.

The game designers purposely made the controls ass backwards. They didn't want to make it intuitive. Most likely they found it was too easy when they play-tested it and went the cheap way to make it difficult. When I see a timed event in a game, I go online and look for a cheat to get past it.

I always hated those type of missions.

I fucking hate David Cross having heard him whine a thousand times.Totally. I was even confusing what they were talking about with Zero's mission. The helicopter is a piece of cake compared to Zero's mission. You had to go to each truck in a specific pattern while the clock is ticking... holy crap.

I found it hard the first time.

After that, it was a breeze for some reason.

Oh shit, I remember this mission.

It took me about 100 tries before I got it. After that, the rest of the game didn't seem difficult. Fucking asshole helicopter mission.

[MrBogey]

I think I did it in like under a dozen. The hard part was getting around the building. Once I realized I could go up without following th ramp it was easy. Just had to try not to knock into stuff.

i gave up on the game cause i couldnt do this mission

[cokelogic]

All this time, I didn't know you could kill the guys with the helicopter blade. Dammit, now it doesn't seem so hard without guys shooting the helicopter down.


Here's the mission that made me spike the controller to the ground more times than any other game. You have a model airplane fuel supply for a time limit and the 5 couriers that move around the city as the mission goes on. It's just evil.

i gave up on the game cause i couldnt do this missionI still haven't finished Vice City because I can't get passed the 2nd to last mission: Cop Land. Extremely few cars spawn, it's all cops cars on the street, you start with a 5 star rating and it's an escort mission.

[stellarcomics]

I never finished Vice City, but I've beaten every other GTA game many time over… so far.

[Cherry Pie]

haha i spiked my controller to and was without one for 4 months

[MrBogey]

I totally lucked out on the mission where you have to kill Chris Penn.

He jumped in his car and promptly had a plane crash into him. I just stood there as he trash talked while on fire and once he stepped out and started shooting(while on fire) I put a bullet in his head and ended the mission.

I wish I was recording it.

i like when weird stuff happens one time i was swiming in a pool in san andreas and a plan landed in the pool i was like hunh?:huh:

That guy has to be using a cheat to have used such little fuel. The flying was the easy part...not running out of fuel was the hard part.

That one is easy; just select your rocket launcher at the beginning and fire off about 6-7 at him from the start; then jump in the car (or stash one off to the left before the mission starts - I used a motorcycle) and chase him down. He'll already be pretty damaged. You can shoot him off the road pretty soon after that.

No shit, Coke.


I hated the RC bulding one but was able to do it. I wish I had known about being able to kill all the guards first. Would have made things easier lol

The Zero mission was THE reason I never finished San Andreas.

[frago]

I aced this one. I killed all the guards with the blade and just kept moving. I found that fucking airplane between the buildings was my game killer.
