Grand Theft Auto IV Hints
Easier "One Man Army" Achievement
This is an easier way to survive 5 minutes on a 6 star wanted level to unlock the "One Man Army" Achievement.
To do this method, you need to have unlocked South Bohan (top right of map), but not the far left area of the map (you need it to be roadblocked to get a 6 star wanted level quickly & easily).
Get a cop car. Park it by your safehouse, save. Load that save to lose the wanted level. Now get some health, an assault rifle or smg, some grenades, & armor. Save again. (now your save file will have all the above ready for re-trying if you fail to survive the 5 minutes on a 6 star wanted level).
Go to the bridge on the far left of the map, that links the islands together. There will be cops there behind some road blocks & gaps in between the blocks.
Reverse the cop car into the far left gap until you get a 6 star wanted level. (With a cop car you can fit in the gap so that you save time by just driving forward as soon as you get the 6 star wanted level).
Now set your way point marker to the bottom-right corner of the top-right island on the map. (At that location there is a boat-walkway with a hole in it, if you walk under here to the end you can't be shot at by the helicopter, the cops can't get to you as easily, & they will only be coming at you from the front, as there is a wall behind you. There are also pillars here that you can use for cover).
So, on your way there, keep your distance from the cops, if they get far behind though, slow down, it is better to wait for them to catch you up slightly instead of moving quickly towards the next set of cops in front.
A good tactic for getting rid of cops behind you is to slow down almost to a stand-still, drop a grenade or two, & then slowly go forward, this ensures that the cops stay in the grenade area long enough for it to hit them.
When you get to the marker, run under that boat-walkway to the far end, & wait there, shooting at any cops as & when they come. The helicopter can't get you & the cops can't shoot you from behind so in a few minutes you should have survived the 5 minutes in order to get the achievement.

Fly Across The Map
Go to any gas station and make sure you have 2 cars under the roof of the gas pumps. Shoot the cars till both of them are on fire, and then stand back around 10-15 feet or car distance then shoot the nearest gas pump where the cars are nearest (make sure you are near the road). After you blow them up, you will be shot across the entire map... yes I'm aware you die but its funny as hell!

Grand Theft Auto IV Glitches
Survive Rotterdam Tower Fall
First you will need to spawn a helicopter. Fly it to the Rotterdam Tower (Empire State Building) and try to land or jump out on to the level near the top that is the largest. Then spawn a NRG900 and drive it one of the edges. You won't fall off because the wall is too high. Then drive full speed ahead at the opposite wall and do a wheelie at the same time. When you hit the wall you should fly over and still be on the bike. Now for the trick. As you fall, feel free to spin as much as you want, but in order for this to work you must hit the ground with your back wheel. If done correctly you should fall of like any normal crash and still be alive! Might take a few tries to perfect but when you do it can be quite fun!
