Nov 3, 2015 @ 12:30pm The mission is called, Monkey Business" and triggered for me by accident after trying for a couple of days. Rockstar aimed for realism in the HD era. Also the military were removed because why the hell does the military chase one guy? Click here to Subscribe! What do I do?
They're making fun of the FBI.
They've always been open about the fact that using alternate names is both to create their own world (for creative freedom and for satirical purposes) and to avoid legal issues.
Fowler 324 Posted 5/12/2008 10:26:11 PM message detail I figured it was to show how little Niko knows about America, he called the FBI the FIB instead, and then the other guy started calling it "FIB" to play along / mock Niko. I assume Copyright.Especially since they still shout "THIS IS THE FBI" and their cruisers are still called FBI.FBI would never ask for money to allow using "FBI" name and stuff in the game.^really? agency doesn't matter, they will get pissed.ASPCA, PETA, that mother's against violent sh*t group, Hiliary Clinton (at one point I believe), politicians, etc.The federal bureau of interrogations may have sent an agent to rockstar with a gun. It was a wise business decision.
This is the correct answer. hm...The amount of people conspiracy making that Rockstar are sellouts over this shows how many of them were not aware its been called FIB since GTA IV save hide report. Nov 3, 2015 @ 10:14am take a cab there and skip the ride. Sort by.
It supplies enough power for each wheel to gain large amounts of traction and maintains it firm on the ground, which rarely loses speed when going through dirt or sand.How to obtain a FIB Granger easily (GTA V PC)Fandom may earn an affiliate commission on sales made from links on this page.

This same excuse is used for why there are no animals in online (or in most HD-era games).
Representing the FBI as a corrupt institution might have gotten em some trouble ?Would make sense.
Shark cards and online.I'm pretty sure its to sell more Cash Cards.That explains why on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 but what about PS4, Xbox ONE and, oh yes, PC?
3 comments. ―Dave Norton. Just like the Sheriff SUV, the FIB Granger is much more challenging to obtain than other police vehicles.The FIB is powered by a turbocharged twin-cam Inline-4 coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a front engine, all-wheel drive (60% front, 40% rear) layout.
This PR BS excuse is why FBI was change to FIB, why Los Angeles is renamed Los Santos and why animals aren't in … I hope GTA remains satire and ironic regardless of the political situation.The change from FBI to FIB occurred at the beginning of the HD universe (GTA IV).Mostly what everyone else said but the main reason why is because of pixels...This PR BS excuse is why FBI was change to FIB, why Los Angeles is renamed Los Santos and why animals aren't in Online!Here's hoping that's where Rockstar's George Lucasing of past GTAs ends. It is the low cover car used by the FIB for several missions in single palyer and ?For that FIB story, it's like in any catastrophic movie they never use actual plane companies names, because that wouldn't be good for company image.Given how crappy the servers preform even on the PC version, I'd believe it. In GTA V, everytime I go to the northeast FIB mission "Monkey Business", that has a small pier, an in-game message appears saying "Mission disrupted" and doesn't allow to start the mission.
Basically, overall, it was a very good representation of the NYPD. Removing planes and clipping the Dodo's wings was a decision made under pressure. Also the military were removed because why the hell does the military chase one guy?
Each copy of the game came with a paper insert that stated the NYPD had no involvement with the game, and the name of the police department was changed to PDNY in the game."1. - Page 3.
Maybe it's something really negative instead. For other uses of the term FIB, see FIB. "We're corrupt in a good way."
They didn't change it from FBI to FIB for any other reason than they thought FIB was funny (fib = lie, FBI lies to us, so FIB, har har get it?).

The Bravado FIB (formerly named "FIB Buffalo") is a federal vehicle used by the Federal Investigation Bureau in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
"As the pixel quality increases, so too does the belief that one is actually killing that entity".Yes, I do feel that the FBI --> FIB Text change was an unnecessary change.Oh God! You have to understand - the largest terrorist attack in American history, we were all scared to death and very sensitive, it was a horrible time and lots of crazy sh*t was happening.Someone should raise this question in the next Q&A with C* ..oops! It's clear they decided to switch to their usual parody style of naming when they decided to include the FBI/FIB as a bigger part of the story, just updating to keep things consistent with how they usually name stuff. I'm dreading what Vice City Stories could be like.
