Reuniting the Families


During the mission, there are a couple of opportunities for C.J. to leave the Jefferson Motel and explore San Andreas without a wanted level. 
Sweet wants his Grove Street gang to meet with the other GSF leaders at the Jefferson Motel. Have C.J. drive them there. On the way, Ryder picks on C.J. again, and Big Smoke tells him to "cool it." Ryder says he's as "cool as a Shaolin monk." Shaolin temples are an order of Chinese Buddhist monasteries famed for association with Japanese Buddhism and martial arts. Once there, Sweet goes inside alone--one representative per family can attend. The LSPD moves in with police cars and S.W.A.T. agents rappelling from helicopters, and get into a shoot out with the gang members. Big Smoke and Ryder leave while C.J. stays to help Sweet.
C.J. is given a Shotgun by the game, but for better have him switch to something powerful with a steady burst, like an M4 or SMG, or switch to Molotovs, which are good for getting around corners. Have C.J. shoot the attacking S.W.A.T. agents on his way up through the motel to Sweet. The S.W.A.T. agents may appear on upper balconies, come through a skylight, bound out of rooms up ahead, etc. When C.J. gets to the sign on the wall that says the next hall has "Rooms 5-8," have C.J. go down that hall, around the corner, down the hall to the 2nd room on the right, and into the room, where Sweet is waiting.

Once he joins Sweet, they go to the roof, where a helicopter makes repeated passes with four S.W.A.T. agents standing on the landing rails or dangling from ropes while Sweet fires at them (probably not actual S.W.A.T. MO). The rest of the proper mission is continued after the next section.
Have C.J. shoot down the helicopter. Sweet is still on the roof and showing all the patience of an even-tempered leader. Have C.J. follow him downstairs, where they get into the car with Big Smoke, who drives, and Ryder. C.J. is given a 1st person view and an AK-47. Have him shoot pursuing shooters and their Police cars and motorcycles, taking heed of where Sweet says to look. (This chase is the one part of the game where a car wash is filled with a pale blue mist. When Big Smoke drives them through it, C.J. complains he gets soap in his eyes.) I don't want to give it all away. When the "K" jams, you can watch the cut scene.
C.J. gets Respect.
