Cilogy Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Wow, now everybody is all horny over the AH-6 Little Bird (I knew it was going to be that)? I suggested it a while ago in a GTA NeXt aircraft topic and nobody gave support to it (unless R* actually listened to my idea). Anyways, the helicopter, if R* did listen to me, will be called the SparrowHawk. About the Uzi, I think it's just a re-design of the Mac 11 (Micro SMG) from the original GTA IV. Remember that TLAD also changed the design for the Combat Shotgun also (or was it the Pump Shotgun?). LOL Rockstar doesn't care about what we think man. Anyway I don't know if you're right about the weapons. I mean the uzi and the micro-uzi are completely different weapons. If they were really 'redesigning' the micro-uzi for TBOGT to the one shown in the screen it would mean making it a completely different gun. I haven't played TLAD, is the shotgun like a completely different weapon or is it just a slightly different design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsar_Smirnoff Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Too f*ckin' cool! Love the helicopter and the 9mm Uzi, it does indeed look like the one from Vice City that you find downtown. Have they improved the smoke effects or something? I don't know about you guys, but the fourth pic with the yacht looks different somehow graphically. Also the plane shadow is tricky; hard to tell if it's just an airliner or something more "exciting"...like a F-16 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, R* does whatever the f*ck they want, and we eat off whatever they're giving us. The Shotgun in TLAD is slightly different in appearance, but it's the same gun. The TLAD version has a pistol grip and a carbine retractable stock. This is a similar version: Edited August 30, 2009 by shinsta312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafioso86 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Wow... so my power was out all day and it finally came back and I went online, did the facebook thing, lazily type in "GTA4.net" and was about to click on "forums" when I was like, "Wait a sec... 'First Gay Tony Screenshots!".... wtf?!?!" Almost everything mentioned by the people that played in Vegas seems to be confirmed with the exception of an m60 style gun, FNP90, and satchel charges... but it looks like we do get the regular/mini UZI (as opposed to the micro from IV and TLAD) which is good news, and it makes sense that it or a tec-9 would show up with Luis' background as a Dominican gangbanger and what not. As far as the new chopper is concerned I would guess it will be called a Sparrow, the Little Willy was more like the little thing Bond flew in You Only Live Twice Really shocked to see the Bati in this... I'm wondering if all of the TLAD vehicles with be available in both EFLC and the Xbox Live DL, if all of them are available at all. With any luck we'll be able to get the Slamvan and Regina with more ease in BOGT, not to mention the Tampa. One thing I noticed in the one shot where he's on the train is the building behind him that has an observatory dome on the top of it... I don't remember ever noticing that in IV/TLAD, but I could be wrong. It'd be just north of the Broker Bridge and west of the train track... I might check it out later. As far as walking on top of a train is concerned I doubt that we'll get to do it outside of a mission, but you never know. Still wondering if that yacht will be pilotable, while I doubt I would use it more than once, it would be a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played TLAD, is the shotgun like a completely different weapon or is it just a slightly different design? Well, in TLAD it was just a different stock along with a pistol grip. If this Uzi is a new weapon I really don't see too much of a need for it (variety sure) as many will probably still prefer the MP10 (SMG) over it. I know the rate of fire will most likely still be the same as the Mac 11 and MP10 in GTA IV. What I'd really like to see is the ability to activate the flashlight on the MP10 as it's quite useless (should of stayed with the MP5 if they don't make the flashlight useable). It'll work for those who have SDTVs and the game is too dark to see what they're doing. EDIT: @Mafioso86: The new helicopter is confirmed as the AH-6 Little Bird. The Little Willie (and the pic. you posted) is a gyrocopter, which oddly isn't considered to be a helicopter.

d0mm2k8 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Man, that chopper looks f*cking bad ass! And if that boat is drivable, then the vehicle damage is amazing. If you own a PS3 and not a 360 ur f***ed! Thank f*ck I'm a spoilt bastard and own both Wow man, this makes TLAD look like Alien V Predator compared to Aliens.

JOSEPH X Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I was just checking what colour the Russian Speedmax was in Buoys Ahoy (red) and it doesn`t match the one in the screenshot tethered to the yacht at all.

ElBarto3131 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I think that chopper is the MHC-6 little bird http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MH-6_Little_Bird But this is looking to be f*cking epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamefarter Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I see no wake from the yacht, so I have my doubts we can drive it. But toward the back you can see the hole in the wooden deck and a fire brewing beneath the hole...cool destruction. It looks like the piece blew off and landed on part of the circle for the helipad.

CryptReaperDorian Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I think that chopper is the MHC-6 little bird http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MH-6_Little_Bird But this is looking to be f*cking epic Without a doubt, that has to be it. Like I said, it's an AH-6 Little Bird, which is the attack version of the MH-6 Little Bird. Also, since the article about that one person who described a small helicopter with a machine gun and rockets, I basically knew right away it was going to be an AH-6 Little Bird. Does anybody have any predictions of what the AH-6 Little Bird is going to be called in TBOGT? Since I was the first to come up with the idea, I would say (like I did before) the SparrowHawk. It's for surely not based off the same thing as the Sparrow, but the window is similar to that of the Sparrow making it seem like this could be a modern version of it. The MH-6/AH-6 Little Bird is also considered to be the Black Hawk's little brother basically so maybe it could be like the Annihilator Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeagol Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 SparrowHawk would actually suit the helicopter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOSEPH X Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Just wondering where Luis could have jumped the train in the `Trainsurfing` screen. In the direction he`s travelling, the last station before there, is Easton and the one before that is Emerald (the station entered in 3LC). There are currently railings blocking a direct jump onto the carriages when they`re stopped at each of those stations, so I`m not sure how he`d get on the train. Could be we follow Niko`s trail of destruction down into Emerald station, jump one of the trains, get spotted at Easton, and when we get overground again there`s helis waiting for us. I`m absolutely 7% sure of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CryptReaperDorian Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) SparrowHawk would actually suit the helicopter Indeed. IMHO, I think SparrowHawk is the perfect name for it. Look how f*cking fierce that thing looks! It has two rocket launchers on it and either a chaingun or a minigun (a chaingun has one barrel just to clear up confusion). Since it's a single gun instead of four miniguns it would probably be a lot easier to aim than the Annihilator. A skilled pilot with this helicopter can probably take down atleast 20 Annihilators with it. It should also be noted that this helicopter may be able to seat 4 people as there is seats in the back. The downside of this helicopter is that since it's small it may not be able to take as many bullets as the others. What I'm more worried about though is that since the front is basically just windows the pilot and co-pilot would be quite open to gunfire. Anyways, I remember the AH-6 Little Bird also being on an A-Team episode where Murdock blows up a garage or warehouse with it. @II J0SePh X II: I'm not sure if they are pursuers or helping Luis, but if those are Luis' mates then it would be from that Police Maverick. If they are pusuing I doubt it's the police though as there is a co-pilot in which the police never had co-pilots in the original GTA IV (and I'm sure the same with TLAD). Maybe this mission is to raid the train or something like that. Probably somebody Luis is after to kill or rescue is in there.

JOSEPH X Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Sorry, I meant the cops would know that`s where he`d come out, if he was spotted at Easton, and they`d be waiting to try catch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CryptReaperDorian Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Sorry, I meant the cops would know that`s where he`d come out, if he was spotted at Easton, and they`d be waiting to try catch him. I can tell you though that those are most likely not police. The Police Maverick has a co-pilot and if the police really wanted to get Luis they would probably fill up the helicopter with police. This leads me to think that somebody has been kidnapped and Luis is trying to rescue that person and escape in the helicopter (thus filling it up). The co-pilot also seems to be aiming at the blown up helicopter and not Luis also. Also, if you look at the co-pilot, his hairstyle doesn't look like that of the cops (I believe). Maybe we're looking at a pissed off and badass side of Gay Tony? It could be Gracie kidnapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOSEPH X Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Well there`s a co-pilot in that heli, and they`re both wearing uniforms. Luis could have shot the marksmen out of the heli by that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m absolutely 7% sure of this He parachutes onto it? I think that they had some work to do with the physics to let us walk on top of a moving train, which probably why Niko couldn't and Luis can. Maybe they worked it out so we can walk on the tug and the yacht too (if it moves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelincheetah Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 out of those screenshots i'm more excited about the yacht than anything else. I dunno the idea of being able to hang out on the yacht sounds like fun. that is, if we get to hang out on it before we blow it to smithereens. i think it would be cool if you have a boss that has a yacht and he travels all over liberty city in it and you have to find the yacht when you want to trigger a mission. I really really hope they bring back the cheetah. Save for parachutes if they announce Cheetahs that will be the best news i've heard so far.
