    I was the one that found the unlimited nitro glitch! Didn't realize that it would cause soo much plague.

          hey if wernt for rockstar then you wouldnt even be playing gta there only patching these dlc as it can cause problems that could freaze or damage the game so take my advice let rockstar get on with there work and stop bothering them with silly things like ---ht vision gogles WTF they gona do its only computer animation and HTF will it make the game better also parachutes i remember when i was playing the game one guy had changed the height to higher got his parachute and landed at the top pf the sky dome and started killing everyon and another thing dont for get rockstar put a lot of time and effert into their games to provide you with the best games available at the moment their finishing RDR for release in march aswell as DLC and EFLC for pc/ps3 so lay of them and stop bothering them

            For the love of god Rockstar, please bring back the parachute glitch, as an option at least!!

              That was seriously a stupid decision...
              We appreciate the effort to fix problems with GTA IV, but you went backwards with it.

              All thats great, but Modders still run rampant, and I STILL can't play with my buddies who bought Episodes From Liberty City!


              And these are minor problems when you think about the fact that Free Mode is now ruined because as soon as a match starts, there are always several Douchebags that go straight for the buzzard and hold down the "A" & "X" buttons for the rest of the match (Both buttons at the same time!). Spawn Killing people for no reason. The people on the ground have no defense against this, There is no ground combat anymore.

              I now have to set Blips to "Near" So those assholes can't fly straight at people and nuke them untill they leave the game. Not most peoples idea of fun.


              Why not put in a limit for how much ammo can be used in the cheap ass vehicle you called the Buzzard?
              Or an "All Weapons" option for Free Mode & Deathmatch?

              TBOGT Has it's issues, but when a freaking HEAVILY ARMORED APC is rendered useless in the face of the ultimate noob machine, something is wrong with the game. Fix THAT.

              I love you guys Rockstar, but fix these severe issues.

                Way to go removing the parachute glitch, nobody was bothered by that!! How about giving the explosive shotgun more ammo so we have a fighting chance against those crazy ass buzzards! Or better yet, strip the buzzard down and give it limited ammo!

                And please for the love of the Lord... sort out those modders! They ruin the game with their lame invincibility and RPG uzi's.

                SORT IT OUT ROCKSTAR!!!!!

                  Thanks for removing things and not adding anything new. A simple "All weapons" from across the entire GTA 4 saga would be amazing for Free Mode, but I guess you guys are busy.

                    my life is ruin! The update is here! The parachute glitch was one of the few things that was fun on that game! :( you failed me Rockstar... bring it back... I'm begging you!

                      Upwards parachute velocity was absolutely great. I understand that it greatly affects R* Social Club rankings for single player. But in multiplayer it really helps out. Choppers or people chasing you, find a jump spot and rise above them. Plus you're a harder target to hit. I know it's not realistic, but a lot of things in GTA aren't realistic. And this one was a great aid when you're in trouble.

                      I'm more concerned about the modders on there. There are tons of modders on there now. At least there are on the X360 version. I played regular old GTA IV and just about every free mode I entered there was one modder. TBOGT isn't as bad, but I still frequently see them. The first modders to come were benevolent. Mostly spawning cars that weren't in free mode, spawning cars with whacky color schemes. But now a lot of them have infinite health, rocket launching SMGs and homing missiles on the Buzzard. And they use all of this to clear out rooms. Plus they've made my console freeze up on numerous occasions.

                          i dont see the update anywhere and i'm on Live. its probably a good thing because it takes away infinite nitrous and upwards parachute . i've played tbogt thru 2 times and i never went bowling :D so i dont see the point.

                            The PS3 version of EFLC isn't even out yet so I imagine that they will add this patch to the program before releasing it.

                              it would be nice if that was for ps3 :(......

                                RockStar Games I did'nt get the new update and I am on Xbox Live now.

                                  It would be cool to have the Taxi missions and Ambulance missions back, I like how the gang wars don't run out, you can cause unbelievable carnage and more keep popping up. Did I mention banks, like three times allready, that would be cool. And C4 charges, so you can parachute out of a building and blow the floor. How bout an Ipod so you can listen to the funky music on the street. Ooo and swat team outfits with ---ht vision goggles and laser sights.

                                  :D

                                    @ alekse.
                                    TBoGT dlc is compatible with the EFLC disc but TLAD is not. i believe it is because of the hole outside maisonette 9 and a few interiors that dlc does not have. but if that is the problem i dont understand why they dont just lock those doors and change the model/texture for that little hole.
