How Turf Owning Works:
To take over turf you go to enemy territory and start taking out the rival gang. After you survive a couple waves of attacking, the turf now belongs to OGF, and as such they will start spawning on the street. Every now and then someone from a rival gang will try to take the turf back...So you got to scrap together a posse and defend it.

I think everyone here has herd that R* are thinking of everything...they seem to know what us gamers want. They understand are needs unlike some other companies who dont know what we want in a game *cough Driv3rcough*

The taking over turf bit i was very excited about.. I mean if you dont want to do a mission and leave it for a while becuase its difficult to do. Then you can always just arse around with turf. I mean it adds to playability. Like in VC if you didn't want to do a mission they you were pretty limited on what you could do...except reak havoc.

[Kayess]

cant wait to take some turf from balla bitches

[Fran]

ye i am gunna beat them up so badly the miracle ambulance won't be able to help

[Himsa]

Im likin the Turf info. Do a drive-by on a couple of Ballas, take over that turf, then move on to Los Santos Vagos, take their turf. I will rule Los Santos, and San Andreas for that matter , with an iron fist. And I like the idea that the retaliation attack will happen by the gang to take the power back. I have to get the game first tho.

[FuddMan]

i dont see how r* are gonna improve on SA with a new title, everythings happening

[Bluntman & C...]

[vivatforx]

so all the people with mental issues can relax. still no kids to shoot you little wierdos. and some of this info is rehashed.

[TrIgGeR HaPpY]

cool finaly u can fly higher

[Legacyx]

woohoo, this game keeps getting better n better everyday

long story short...
October 26, 2004 will be the day i will quit sleeping

[Goldberg285]

Waiting for this game is like waiting for Christmas when you were a kid (The days just seem to dragggggggg). ME and the BOYZ gonna be playing this game till our eyes bleed. Just hope that all the info flying around about SA is mostly ture, it would be a bloody shocker for everyone if alot of the promised info was BOLL*CKS (lets all hope not) GTA SAN ANDREAS "YOUR NEXT"

[s0nny80y]

i think you guys forgot that from previous issues, EGM has been known to release bad info. just an fyi.

[gunktone]

He cut and pasted the last couple of tidbits and turf war takeover from a topic I made on the GF/GS boards and didnt even give me credit (Flash_Johnson)

Oh well at least all you fansite folks now got the good info

[Mr.Dizzle]

i doubt that they will include kids... it would just be cause of WAY to much bs from the people who will undoubtedly try to get this game pulled off the shelfs.. like there are for all the gta games

[El Mariachi]

Hell, I don't want to kill any kids, thats just way to screwed up.
Mister, will you bust a cap in my ass. Please, plus anyways as Mr. Dizzle said, we'd never see another GTA after san andreas. I thought it was confirmed that there was going to be livestock in the country. Could have sworn i read that somewhere...

[Legacyx]

R* wouldnt put kids into the mix and that is a known fact.

Killing kids is just sick

but this game keeps getting better n better

[*CarBoaster*]

Most of this info was covered in the latest EGM mag.

[YUKMOUTH]
