Experienced my first GTA hacker :)

A few days ago I came across this guy in free mode who was driving a pink & white Cognoscenti... of course you can normally get this car in free mode, but the color of it was an obvious red flag. That, and the fact that he could make people explode without even getting out of the car. :B

So after getting blown up a few times, I got in the car with him. He was able to make the car levitate and fly through the air (similar to the swing-set glitch... except on-command, and he could control where it went while airborne and make it land safely.) He flew to the airport, dumped the car into the ocean, and started spawning Sultan RS's for a bunch of us... then he left the game.

I'm alright with these people, it certainly makes things more interesting.
Especially considering the ridiculous amount of money you need to reach rank 10... Rockstar almost deserves people like this in the game. I've been playing this off and on since 2008... I'm STILL at rank 9 and need ANOTHER $2,000,000 (!) to get to 10.

Besides, I've always wanted to cruise free mode in a Virgo, Buccaneer or beater Emperor, and hackers can make that happen (if they don't act like total a$$holes)
I love using the regular Emperor, Esperanto, Marbelle etc in free mode, but sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth to get 'em to spawn. (legitimately!) Especially the Rancher.

Seems like there's more and more people doing this each time I play... to the point where most rooms have at least one. It's still fun and not a problem though, typically. My motto's always been to only attack when provoked.

I've since seen all kinds of crazy crap! Skateboard halfpipes set up in the airport, a double loop-de-loop made out of hundreds of small ramps, people "driving" dinosaur skeletons, perma-junked blista compacts and peyotes pulling trailers with speedboats, linerunners hauling intangible freight trailers and oil tanks, neon blocks from the qubed arcade game all over the place in the "real" world, people turning into giant oak trees... I've even seen someone get punished by getting a hippo trashcan stuck to them like someone mentioned earlier. lol

Today I politely asked one of them to spawn a Virgo and they were nice enough to oblige, so there I was driving around in a sweet-ass 70's Lincoln Mark V, for I am the disco king! And I care not for your hoodlum Sultan RS's and low-class Patriots!

However, there was this one guy in a room though that would instantly delete any vehicle you entered. And another that teleported me to a part of the Alderney prison that was literally impossible to escape. (the caged area that you normally can't get in... even the ceiling was enclosed) I've also had already on-fire cars hurled at me a bunch of times, but I was good enough behind the wheel that they had no effect.

Fun stuff.
