GTA Mission Trajectory
Initially when you try a mission you turn your back to the enemy, get stuck to pieces of scenery, lock on to nothing, get stuck on rubbish dumpsters and end up driving on the other side of the river or the freeway to where your target is.
After countless retries and long journeys back to the mission location you end up shooting people as soon as they’ve uttered a word to you, picking up sports cars you’ve thoughtfully left on the escape routes, actually driving ahead of the people you’re chasing.
