Water + Cars = Bad


If you manage to drive your car into deep water, the car will begin to sink.  You will have roughly 3-4 seconds to exit the car before Niko drowns.  Heres a tip if you are having a water stand off with the police.  normally, you cannot fire weapons while swiming – which leaves Niko a sitting duck for enemy fire.  If you have driven a car into the water, you can climb on top of it using the square button and then use the roof of the car as a platform to fire off of.

Redonculous GTA 4 Videos of the Week: GTA Deaths


Here at Gtastud, we always a enjoy a good death montage. Today’s video doesn’t disappoint. Check out the deaths at 0:53 for a great stunt car jump, and the skyscraper jump at 1:12 into some helicopter blades in multiplayer. Also worth a look, is the scene at 2:02 withthe flaming car creeping up on some unsuspecting Liberty City citizens.




Play Like a Pro: Shooting Enemies in Vehicles


GTA IV’s realism adds several interesting advantages for Niko as he attempts to etch out a living for himself in Liberty City.  Take for instance that you are able to shoot out car windows, and aim at targets who are still in their cars.  Free-look aiming for targets that are still within their vehicles gives Niko a huge tactical advantage, as enemies such as police will not fire on you until they have exited their car.

This can also become handy in missions that require Niko to assassinate an enemy within a set amount of time.  Simply run them off the road, and shoot them while they sit in their car.

Performing a Quick Turn


While running, Niko can quickly turn around and continue at the same speed in the opposite direction by holding down on the left analog stick.  Useful if you notice a large amount of police pulling up infront of you and you need to run for it.
