Rockstar Game Tips: Becoming the “One Man Army” (Grand Theft Auto IV / Episodes from Liberty City)
As anyone who's caused enough wanton havoc in Liberty City can attest, surviving and escaping the long arm of the law when you've racked up a top wanted level is a bitch.
Grand Theft Auto IV's "One Man Army" achievement/trophy rewards players for doing just that - evading the LCPD and surviving a six-star wanted level for a total of six minutes. Probably one of the game's toughest challenges.
Here are some tips - the first in an ongoing series of game hints we'll be dropping here at Rockstar News...
First, you are going to want to stock up on weapons and armor. It would be a good idea to stock up on the heavy artillery. A rocket launcher, shotgun, and an automatic rifle - either the Carbine or Assault Rifle - should do the trick. To quickly get yourself up to five stars, you can always head to the nearest Tw@ Internet cafe location and visit the website www.littlelacysurprisepageant.com on the in-game Internet. This will immediately earn you a five star wanted level. From this point, you'll have to get a bit creative and cause enough mayhem to get the final sixth star; note that the LCPD and N.O.O.S.E will be all over you from the moment you step outside of the Internet cafe.
Make sure you have scouted out a defense point beforehand and make your way towards it using the back alleys to choke off pursuit. If you are playing Grand Theft Auto IV, we recommend going to Playboy X's apartment or one of your safe houses (we're partial to the apartment in Hove Beach). In The Lost and Damned, things get a bit trickier as your one safe house isn't secure enough to mount a great offensive. Instead of your biker hang out, we suggest heading for the Booth Tunnel and barricading yourself in with a bunch of vehicles for cover (a plus is that you don't have to deal with LCPD helicopters). If you're running low on health while trying to get to your preferred destination, stop by a hospital for a health pack (usually located on the façade near the main entrance) or look for a snack machine. Finally, if you need to refill your armor, try hopping into a N.O.O.S.E truck.
If you have another method that is a surefire way to get the “One Man Army” achievement/trophy, let us know, bigshot.

Guess i was lucky, cus normally its hard to find a heli when ur wanted
get a bike and head to algonquin bridge. theres a stunt jump in the middle of where the cops roadblock is..
do the jump and land in the walkway in the middle of the bridge instantly achieving 6 stars.
hang out on the train tracks in there for the 6 mins (if you stay on the path in the middle the cops can shoot you from above)
PS: I hope GTA IV Episodes coming to PC\PS3 after X360 realise.
For AWP, just keep playing. Most wins will come naturally as you get better. When you are host, choose an event you haven't won and stick to your choice, ignore any objections or votes, most of the time enough people will ready up.
At the entrance of Playboy X's apartment. Then I went to subway rails.
Cheers.
Assuming The Ballad of Gay Tony will have another 250 Gamerscore points, will the disc release have the 500G from "The Lost & Damned" and "The Ballad of Gay Tony" plus another 500G made up from existing GTA IV acheivements that can be done in any story (i.e. you can get the achievement whether you are playing as Niko, Johnny or Luis), "Wheelie Rider" is one example. Or could the other 500 be new acheivements again?
Also, will these be separate from GTA IV, so if you have downloaded TLAD and played it on the Episodes disc could you have the same achievement twice, once under GTA IV and once under Episodes from LC?
Warning: This has been full of assumptions and guesses!
