I got it by spraying and praying.
Love the kill cams especially shotguns at close range. I always pump a few more in to them just to send a message. The bullet time makes you feel like one hell of a bad-ass

I'm not at that part yet, but make use of the last man standing, don't manually use pills, this way you get a free head shot at the heavy and with luck get his helmet off, cheap i know but this was how i delt with the one from the blanco office earlier in the game , I let him down me twice and 1st time shot his helmet off and 2nd time a head shot finish in last man standing

Finished it yesterday so I'll be around for multiplayer more.

As much as it frustrated me at times, god damn is it a beautiful game

I've awful trouble trying to aim with the laser sight, even over the shoulder. I've started avoiding weapons with the attachment.

Spoiler: You could be right, but I thought after the shootout in the church was over more gangsters show up and take you away again... Maybe I'm just mixing up the two parts, I was half asleep playing that mission. Will go back and play it later anyway to get the golden guns and stuff.

Same, can't stand the laser sights in the game. I also avoid the flashlight guns like the plague.

With laser attachments, you can press select and it will turn off the laser returning to regular aiming reticule.

Yeah Calex, I plan on using that pill for last man standing against the heavy alright. I'm determined to pass it tonight

dont think it has been mentioned here yet but in the story the game gives you pills if you keep getting stuck at the same point, thats why them pills appeared to you sheehy, as far as i can remember if you die 3 times on the same checkpoint you get an extra pills bottle, then if you die 6 times, another pill bottle, 9 times, another pill bottle- it goes up to something like 9 pill bottles

Just at the part with the "Shirt" in San Paolo. The production levels in the game are incredible but I feel like it is just small pockets of game play inbetween lots of cut scenes. Rather than the other way around.
Long cut scene -- walk shoot 3 guys ---another cut scene -- forced walking section --- chat scene--- shoot 6 guys -- very long cut scene. I thought MGS4 was for the interrupting cut scenes.

He looks so badass at the start of that mission I wish the model stayed like that for longer

This strange weather that we are having is severely disrupting my multiplayer time, next rainy day there will be some serious catching up to do!

R* have added a free copy of L.A. Noire to the PC preorder bonus on steam if you buy before Monday. It's already been added to my games! So that's Max Payne 1, 2 and 3, a bunch of MP items and L.A. Noire for £30 (or what ever you're all getting charged back home).
