My absolute favourite thing to do in free roam is get in my tank and start annihilating cops and other people. I can usually go on a half hour-hour long rampage and I'd be satisfied for the day. Destroying helicopters, cop cars, people, gas station, explosions in general just never gets tiring for me.
The people in the tanks just constantly taking people out drive me nuts. Yeah it is funny for a second but get out of the tank and see what you have then. I had a guy kill me 15-20 times plus times in a row with his tank. I was trying to find ways to take him out. At one point I made it on top of a building and was trying to get him from there but he took off.
Later I found him but I was a sitting duck on the ground. And I was taken a beating again. That was until the cops ended up taking out his tank. At that point it was on. I got the better of him once he was out of the safety of his tank.
I will look around for something to do. Earn some money to fix up my cars and so on. I'm normally killing time till I find a mission to join. That is what I enjoy doing.
But while in free roam I also like to go after people. One group had mics and after a while they were getting on my nerves. So I tried to find out who they are and find them on the map. Then I make it my mission to take them out as much as I can. Some end up putting a beating on me but I go for it anyway.
Went to deliver a car to the docks and a guy followed me and killed me as the door was closing on the warehouse. It was seconds before the $7000+ went into my account. So at that point it was my mission to get payback. I chased that guy down for 15 minutes. He bagged me to stop after 10 minutes. At about 15 I was bored. I feel I made back more then my $7000 in entertainment value.
