GTA4 multiplayer wierdness

Just wondering if anyone noticed any wierdness with GTA4 multiplayer on xbox live? Are there changes being made to the online multiplayer games?

I joined into a freemode game this evening, there was one or two of the players on the freemode game, who appeared to have an invinciblity over the rest of the players on that game. They also seemed to be able to accelerate much much faster than anyone else. (as if the cars had a hyper drive). I watched one player in a hearse type car, do laps about the airport runways at speed, the car was glued to the road. One guy appeared to be able to rapid fire rockets from the patriot jeep. I also noticed that there was a number of different coloured police choppers, all seemed very odd.

If this the result of someone playing using one of the add-on game discs or is it down to cheating ? I assumed that it wasn't possible to use cheats on xbox live, has something changed?

I encountered a player who seemed to be invincible on the freeplayer mode. I shot him EIGHT times with the rocket launcher in a 30 second period and he survived. I just left the game after that.
