::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]] I too was annoyed by Niko doing underhand throws. Doing an underhand throw will almost always hit what you're hiding behind. Then I realized just tapping the button does this, hold it for a while instead to do an overhand throw, now I feel like an idiot. | ::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]] I too was annoyed by Niko doing underhand throws.

In GTA: SA you could recruit random people off the street and hand them a 9mm. | [[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]]Whatever happened to mercenaries and gang members?

[[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]] The biggest drawback of this game is probably the ranging system of the weapons. All guns except the sniper rifles have zero effect on enemies after a certain range, as if the bullet magically disappears in mid-air. It's very awkward and unrealistic having to walk closer and closer to your enemy for your gun to start doing damage, especially in multiplayer. (if it wasn't for this, GTA4 would be the perfect multiplayer game IMO) There should be a more realistic ranging system for the guns, like having guns do a lesser amount of damage the farther away you are, or maybe even bullet drop. of course this should be proportional to the gun you were using, 9mm would have a shorter effective range, M4 a longer range, etc. IMO this is the one glaring flaw of GTA4's combat system. | [[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]] The biggest drawback of this game is probably the ranging system of the weapons.

:{{Rebut}}I've been able to use the AK, M4A1, and even the M249/"Advanced MG" at sniper rifle ranges quite easily. You just have to tap the trigger button briefly and fire one round at a time. | :{{Rebut}}I've been able to use the AK, M4A1, and even the M249/"Advanced MG" at sniper rifle ranges quite easily.

[[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]], Hey, this is just a minor issue. Do you notice that luis/niko/johnny run out of ammo? I shot up a hospital the other night and hid behind a pillar. These 3 cops started shooting in my direction.And they kept shooting..Because I was in cover, and none of them were running at me, I decided to make myself a sandwich. However, when I came back, they were STILL shooting..Why is it that I run out of ammo, but the police don't? And Don't give me the excuse "well, they're police officers, they have a lot of fire arms". I've seen cops in real life, and they usually only carry 2 magazines for their guns. I just think it'd be epic if the cop ran out of ammo the same time I did, forcing us to engage in fist fight. I just don't find it realistic..Also, I notice that the police don't reload their weapons. I'm hiding behind a pillar from a cop with a pump shotgun, and he just keeps firing on and on and on. It never stops. | [[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]], Hey, this is just a minor issue. Do you notice that luis/niko/johnny run out of ammo?
