Revenge requires patience

You know those players who hang around GTA Race respawn checkpoints and kill you, time after time? Generally speaking they aren't very good racers; nor are they particularly good shooters. They like easy, unarmed targets.

Two of them were working together on a Round The Block race and I got caught. I must have died 30 times, but I hung in there until the race finished. Everyone else left the group as soon as it finished so I was left with these two. They started another race on the same track, and, inevitably, I saw their blips stop on the map, waiting for me to come around again.

This time I was prepared, so I got out of the car a little way before them and waited behind a wall.

Now, they say auto-aim isn't for real men but everyone has the same advantage - as long as they know how to use it. The knack is seeing your opponent before they see you. Hide behind a wall and move the camera so you can see above it or around it. As soon as you spot your opponent, lock on the aim and it will follow them even though they're now blocked by the wall. As soon as they come around be fast on the trigger and you'll blast them (with the requisite slight upward tilt of the joystick to get a headshot, of course).

So this is how I got my revenge. After a couple of kills they gave up and started shooting each other, leaving me to win the race, and a cool $1200.
