I haven't been around mostly because of GTAV coming out. I've never actually played a GTA game even though I have all of them (lollololool), but I really really like this one.
Anyways, I'm going to share with y'all something I did last night that probably is the most amazing thing I've ever done in any video game ever. Honestly I could see this being made into like an actual story or something because of how it played out. I'm going to bold face the most important parts if you don't want to read it all.
Me and three other players started a mission on hard mode. I don't remember the name but the premise was simple: go to the construction site and destroy the four cement trucks. For whatever reason, the host also locked us in first person mode which made it like 5x harder.
So we get there, everyone goes to the north side while I go to the south. I cleared out a good portion of the dudes then got to the roof of the building that was being constructed. I took out 2 cement trucks with grenades and provided sniper cover for everyone else. Eventually, being hard mode, the other team members sucked up our team lives when they died and were forced into spectator mode. I was the only one left and the mission had just begun.
There was one truck left, so I said screw it and blew it up with my rocket launcher - too far for a grenade. Then I got the updated objective to destroy two more trucks... one of which was on the other side of San Andreas - so I decided to go after that one first. By this time, there was an enemy helicopter and reinforcements pulling up to the construction site. I had to fight my way down through the building, and under heavy fire always on the edge of my health, make my way into a car so I could GTFO. ;_; Set my waypoint as quickly as I could and floored it.
The whole way there I was struggling to stay alive, as SUV after SUV came towards me. I changed cars three times because my tires kept getting blown out. I was constantly having to get out and take cover behind stuff, firefights in the middle of the street with the enemies. On the second car, and apparently the last wave of enemy SUV's, I started spiraling when one of my tires was shot. At this time I was holding down the button to throw a sticky bomb, prepared to land it on the enemy SUV as it passed. Well, that didn't happen - half way through the spiral I hit something and started rolling. I accidentally threw the sticky bomb in my confusion and it somehow stuck itself onto the SUV as I was spinning and twirling through the air in first person. Blew it up obviously then found my last car and made it to the cement truck with no problems.
Came across the cement truck in the street, only took me like 5 minutes (which is a long time) to get there. Blew it up, called my mechanic and got my motorcycle. Took me a couple minutes to get back to the last and final cement truck. This whole ordeal itself was probably over 15 minutes long, so when I came up to the final one - I just drove up on a hill and blew it up with my pink rocket launcher.
Ended the mission making almost $30k, which is the most decent payout I've had for a mission - I've played setup missions for heists on hard and that was pretty close to what I got. The players in spectator were going crazy, two sent my friend requests and I felt like a bad ass. I don't think this story does what truly happened any justice. It was the most intense moment I've had in a video game, and I think because it was entirely in first person and I was alone while being spectated.
Anyone else care to share some funny / cool stories they've had in the game? I really like GTAV and I'm glad I got it.

I found myself mostly going to freeroam and stunt servers.
