Ok sorry to make another thread but I am finding this game soooooo hard, i'm only on level 4 and it's now past 19:00 on day 1, try to step outside and these guys on a truck keep running me over and shooting at me. Needless to say I die fairly quickly.

I've also tried the Backup for Brad mission, and I can't get that guy to stop shooting.

I've climbed up on to the ledge where he is and tried smacking him a couple with the sledgehammer as I've seen suggested before, but I can't do it fast enough, once again I die pretty quickly :(

Someone help me before I quit.
 
Stay in the mall and kill loads of Zombies or rescue a few survivors to start building up your character which will make him faster so you can easily avoid the guys in the jeep
 
The humvee guys are really annoying no matter your level. At low levels the only solution that worked for me was to run.

For the backup for brad mission stay back and pelt him with pistol rounds. Simplest boss fight really. I never bothered going up top as you'd give him clear line of sight.
 
Ive had the same problem with the guys in the jeep. Im a level 9 now so Im not that much different from you. When you want to cross from paridise plaza just stay against the wall to your left until you get across there.

On the way back its a little harder because their usually very near you when you come out. I usually take food with me and go through the tree areas as I find they often get stuck on the trees and cant keep running you over. As for the other mission just use the pistol I find.
 
The way I always deal with 'Backup for Brad' and with the convicts is with the SMG.

To get to the SMG come out of the warehouse doors in Paradise plaza and head right towards the stairs that take you up onto the second level. Here you will notice halfway up the stairs a flat level where a lot of zombies are...kill them and look towards a blue ledge above the shops. It might take a few attempts but run and jump towards this blue ledge...Frank will grab on and pull himself up.

Navigate your way along the ledge to the end, pick up the orange juice and finally the SMG. The SMG will respawn everytime you don't have it in your hands and re-enter Paradise Plaze.

To deal with the convicts aim for the gunner always first on Manual Shot. You could then either nick his large gun from the back of the truck and just run to the Carlitto mission, or use the remaining SMG bullets to kill Carlitto, as he won't take many with the SMG.

Hope this helps :)
 
I found the best way to get past the convicts when i was a lower level was to just use the skateboard from the sports shop in Paradise Plaza
 
*Spoilerish*

In the opening sequence there's actually a shotgun, if you can get that it makes killing the convicts very easy. Just run into a patch of trees then wait for the guys to stack the jeep, hide behind a tree then nip out and blast the gunner a few times, once he's dead it's easy.

It's a bit lame, but if you want to level up quickly to get more life & item slots and have half an hour to kill, as soon as you start go onto the roof, re-unite the old couple (dont forget to take a picture), then rescue them both, save, re-start, repeat...you get something like 50,000PP each time so will level pretty quickly.

Don't you have to go through that boring helicopter ride and stuff first? Plus I thought there was a case file with brad before you reunite the old couple? or am I wrong?
 
Ah yeah sorry, I meant start the game 'proper', i.e. after the opening sequences. You can skip the helipcopter sequence (press start, I think?), activate the zombies at the start then just leg it up the stairs, takes 5 minutes tops, from there you can get up to the roof and rescue the couple :) I did say it's a bit lame, but it gets you PP quickly :p

Did that for the first time just now. Doubled my kill count in a matter of minutes, was great fun :)

Really starting to enjoy this game now.

lol. same here. i found it rather fun. im on level 24 now, havent played in a few days though.
 
I found this game really hard at first aswell, I just spent ages levelling up before I attempted to do the cases.

Genocider got me to around level 36 made the game loads easier :D
 
as sugested on here once i found shooting the gunner with whatever (smg i used) till he's dead then steal his gun to shoot the other 2 worked a treat :)

then it leaves the humvee empty for you to do a few rounds of the plaza in, killing loads of zombies :)
