* Buy armor! If you know a firefight is coming up, buy yourself some armor. If the mission's begun, don't worry. The second destination listed in the taxis besides the "objective" is the weapons store.

* To jack a car without too much conflict in GTA IV, bring up your gun, point it at the driver of the car you want from the side of the road, the driver will then get scared and let you have the car. Doing this right in front of a police, or a police car will not attract any attention (Likely design flaw). Most of the time the driver will step out, running away. As a note, you will get wanted level for pointing your gun at members of law enforcement.

* Keep the meter running, cabbie! If you just need to buy some ammo or food real quickly, when the cabbie drops you off, wait a second or two and whistle for the cab again. Then run and buy your stuff. Come back out and he'll be waiting for you right where he left you, if not, then he's around the corner.

* Many of the Assassin's missions can be simplified if you can get hold of a helicopter. Just land on a high position overlooking the target and take them out using the rifle.

* Look around. Many players think that the car they were in is gone if the player enters a cutscene. But, usually, the car is parked somewhere near by. Look around the corner or down the street and you'll usually find.

* Also, if you leave a crime-scene in a helicopter, it is incredibly easier to lose any wanted level. They also work very nicely for any kind of chase-mission, as they are much faster than cars and you can keep better track of your target. Just be careful not to fly too high, as that counts into the maximum allowed distance to your target. That can make following targets in Algonquin a little tricky.

* If you are ever in need of a Police Car, Firetruck, or Ambulance, but are careful to take one in the middle of town, just call 911 and request one. You can do this somewhere in a dark side-alley, making it much easier to grab the car without too much attention. This can even save you a long trip, as getting into an Ambulance gives you a good amount of health back.

* Another great spot to steal a Police Car is always the local Police Station. The one in Algonquin, which also features Francis McReary's missions, has a Squad Car parked behind it. No one will see you take it. Or just call the cops and jack it from them they are to slow and probably wont get you even if you take it from under their noses.

No one will see you take it. You can also call the cops on the cell phone and steal the car when they come. However, this gives you a wanted level, and more cops will come to try to arrest you or shoot you down.


* Looking for a helicopter with a little more style? The Police Station in Northern Holland features one of the Annihilators. Good luck stealing it though, the Cops there are armed to the teeth. A one star wanted level is all you will get though.
