I have a weapon in hand, yes. Are you standing close enough? AFAIK it also
works when the territory colours are not displayed, but it only works when
you've gathered enough respect.
They're not very helpful, though. Most times they'll just get in my way, so
I usually don't bother.

I agree, the fact that there's (virtually) no loading is commendable.
The textures and polygon-count however feels very dated.
HL2 is the other extreme - most pretty, but you can go and have some
coffee during loading ... 
... also completely linear and I
won't even start about steam ...
something in between would have been preferable - Far Cry did very
well, grand graphics and noticable loading only between levels, which
were huge (not three houses and a dog, as in HL2)

About the only time they are helpful is if you need to be shooting
from your vehicle (taking some along for vigillante missions is fun).
You won't get wanted levels from the people they kill.

True. As long as they are in a car, they are fun to have around. Good tip
about taking homies on vigilante missions. I found being a cop in SA is a
much harder job harder than in VC, so I haven't bothered that much with it.
A little backup sounds like a plan

Right. But by recruiting some gang members, wielding the camera and
right click mouse aiming at them, you can still have quite a laugh.
"Say, cheese, homies!"
You can also make them take a picture of yourself (CJ, that is) by
wielding the camera and pressing TAB when facing on of them...
