They were a cool feature in GTA Vice City. My question is,are they in any other GTA Game? Cause i have played the sh*t out of every GTA and i don't recall seeing them and that's said because they were a cool little detail Rockstar added to make the world feel more alive.

They're in LCS, VCS and GTA V. They're also in GTA SA but are not used by cops.

Lol, the Cops don't even shoot at Toni or his Vehicle barely in LCS, and instead, drop Spike Strips down...You can be on a 5 star wanted level for eternity, basically; however long you want and as long as you got those Pop Proof Tires, you're safe lol...

These spike strips were kinds useless because half of the time in VC the stupid police AI would always throw them in the wrong direction of Tommy's vehicle. Either that or they would throw them at their own officers and flat their tires. Lol i miss the bad AI in old gta's :D

In VC and LCS the cops would throw the spike strips in the direction they were facing. If they were facing the road Tommy/Toni was driving trough, then the spike strips would expand just as they should be. If they didn't face the road, they would throw the spike strips away from the road. That's just it.

 

Back to the topic: in San Andreas the spike strips are used, not by the cops, but by Carl Johnson himself. He deploys spike strips from the Tampa in the mission "Puncture Wounds" to have a chance of stopping the Stratum he needs to acquire for the Showroom.

They would be better if the Officers actually threw them onto the Road.

In Vice City, I always found it funny how the police officers took out the spike strips out of nowhere.

You know that moment you run the spike strips over with the car and all of the sudden its a bumper car session with the Cops. I bet you that irritates you, it does for me.

That's why I hate how PP Tires don't save in VC like they do in LCS/VCS. It literally is bumper cars once your tires are popped. You just have an endless supply of FBI Ranchers ramming you and you go flying...

Sh*ts even worse when you have the army on you. Cops don't f*ck around when you have a 6-star chase :bored:

Typically, I stay on 5 stars when it comes to III, VC, LCS, and VCS since even in an indestructible Vehicle, the Rhino Tank just has to touch you for you to explode, so I find the 5 star chases with the FBI the most fun. The Tank is different in SA where it doesn't blow you up when inside an indestructible Vehicle, so I get 6 stars there on rampages, but in III, VC, LCS, and VCS, I stick to 5 stars since the moment the Tank touches you, fun stops.

with the exception of Gta III. The army is a lot harder due the the M-16. Claude has a small tiny chance he survives a couple of hits by the M-16 and take them out before they start opening fire. It still pisses me off till this day lol. Couple hits from the rifle and i'm dead. Haven't thought about staying on a 5-star though :dozing: Each time i start a rampage with police i usally keep on killing till a reach a 6-star because the tank ruins everything after that. Execpt in SA of course, but with the other gta's it's tuff. Edited by GTA_The_Series

Lethal Vaccine

Yeah, that is actually one of the reasons I liked III. It actually felt like you were messing with deadly enemies, unlike VC on up where a lot of the enemies, as well as Weapons they used were a lot softer compared to how it was in III...

 

Other than ONE Mission in VCS, no other GTA's besides for III (Not counting 1 or 2, never played them) have enemies holding a Flamethrower. III also has enemies, other than the Police holding M-16 and some extreme Weapons, too.
