Grand Theft Auto IV -- It might feature crime and prostitutes.

i am often on, on the xbox 360, being pwned by n00bs, as stevietonychick

So what is the prefered game mode? I've been playing some Team Mafiya and if you find good teams it can be pretty rewarding

I've just been doing Deathmatch and Free Mode.

Places you don't want to be during a Deathmatch: A ladder.

i went from cops 'n' crooks to races to deathmatch (with copious hangman's noose inbetween to cash up) but seem to have tired of them all... have just been playing freemode recently (and not that recently either).

deathmatch is good fun, i found to be the best mode.

i found a strange area last night, upon some roofs in Bohan. I went up a high ladder, some rooves were linked by some large wooden ramps. There were quite a few, the last one ramped off into the road. Suspicously like a unique jump but there didn't seem any possible way of getting a bike up there?

All right you little Nikos, I came to this thread to take names. Let's do some murder and mayhem. Also some car races at the airport.

So expect some little invites tonight after I watch "The Soup" and call my sister.

i'm losing track over who's xbox and who's ps3 now.

I'm PS3. my name is "katrobot". add me up and stuff.

I'm napawo72 on ps3. Mainly on COD4 at the moment though.

I came in fourth on a deathmatch last night! Killing is becoming my business. I think it's mostly because it was Friday night and so I was left with the pre-teens, who don't have the mad skilz of the college stoners who usually treat me like kleenex.

i am a fan of team deathmatch, and of cops and crooks. was into gta race, but am AWFUL at it, and prefer the team dynamic. best is when team deathmatch devolves into a series of pitch battles with respawns near the conflict.

i like cops and crooks.
i hate auto-aim games. what's the point?

Because my hands are steady enough to follow someone down the street, that's why!

aren't

I know, it's seriously difficult to free aim with a noobstick. But surely that's half the fun?

the 'game chooser' gets to choose whether auto aim is on don't they? Whoever that may be.

also gta auto-aim still gives you a bit of manual control, headshots aren't automatic.

Yeah.

I do like the ability to lock in with auto aim and then slowly release into free aim. At least give me the ability to point the gun at who I'm chasing without waving the rifle in the air like it's an antenna.

I tried, what, 15 seconds of an auto-aim off games and cried "i cant do it! i cant do it!" and stomped off.

playing hangman's noose and hanging around at the beginning shooting the swat team is good practice. i started off averaging < 10 kills and got up to > 20, and my deathmatch play definitely improved.

On which of the multi modes do you find it necessary to use the Mic? Because I kinda hate talking to 12 year olds over the mic, but I want to try e.g. cops and crooks.

it's pretty handy for cops n crooks, vital for the three co-op modes (hangman's noose, bomb da base, deal breaker)

general dm aiming tips - get assault rifle, get cover (even crouching in open air removes yr radar blip i think), zoom in, aim for the head, short bursts (don't hold down the trigger), health reticule shows if yr aim is good so stop firing if you donit see it.

i still get one shot killed by dudes i've been pumping lead into for 30 seconds though ;_;

original Tomb Raider lock-on aiming system still the best

god can you imagine shooting those spiders without it? I could barely see those things.

I don't believe crouching removes your radar blimp? Still a good idea though

I hate auto-aim because you can't use it when in a car, which makes getting into cars kind of pointless.

I climbed up on a water tower on Charge Island and shot a guy in a helicopter who had flown up to get me. It was really kinda cool because the guy wasn't moving or anything (it's not like the characters have to hold the controls or move the yoke since 99.9% of the time you don't see them once they get inside the chopper.)

Anyway. There's no fucking way I could've done that without auto-aim.

my old gta housemate has finally got this game so I'll probly be multiying about more now.

I tried to invite some of you the other night, but it kept giving me error messages. I got czn in my files though.

The other night, I was giving helicopter rides to 12-year-old's. When one of them told me as we were boarding, no you fly it you're really good at it, I was genuinely touched.

Still felt like a pedo though.

I sent you a friend request today, rabbitwithfangs. I play as REDACTED.

PP LOLOL

I am on PS3 as DenaSmith - I've gotten alright at multiplayer, but I think there's whole 'nother level of player out there that I can't touch and still maintain some semblance of studying regimen.

I played a buddy online last night, though - 30 minute deathmatch, powerful weapons (assault rifles, RPGs, sniper rifles, etc.) in Alderney, and I beat him 13-2. I explained to him the necessity of having control over the cover-and-shoot tactics, and that shooting someone in the arm can actually kill them.

My favorite kill was one where I had just killed him, and I ran off in search of a much-needed body armor/health reboost. I ran in the direction of his respawn, so we ended up having a shoot-out in a graveyard, somewhere in Alderney. I ducked behind a tomb, with only a quarter of my health left, and only a pistol. He had me pinned pretty effectively, but I headshot him on a reload pause.

He was so pissed, he called a friend of ours and offered to sell his PS3 and the game to him that night. Thankfully, he didn't.

I'm adding all the PS3 owners on this thread as a friend, hope that's ok. I'm napawo72.

i play on xbox live as tehdead, haven't tried multi with gta though

Totally cool. It may be a week before I next log on, but I'll be back in full effect come August.

what is the ilx ps3/360 split, btw? i am 360.

POLL

Should the poll be on ILE?

i'm on 360, and be warned i just won my first deathmatch game whatever the hell that means

it means you are a man.

lol i had a dream last night that they were running an advert on tv for gta multiplayer, which showed hundreds of people (in game) dressed exactly the same all pouring out the back of an ice cream truck, and then someone pushing a shopping trolley with more people in the trolley. They all looked like they were having fun at least.

I was tood on hanger lane platform last night and a pigeon was cooing behind me, cue me looking round to try and take out the bugger.

ok i had a go on multiplayer today, it was okay. I like the car jack games.

i had a long go on free roam, which was more interesting. some dude came up to me and I'm sure he had a monkey head. And he was able to speak to me, in a generic greeting kind of way - how'd he do that ?

and a petrol bomb dropped from a moving car is a great weapon in multiplayer

top left trigger (i forget the silly names they give these buttons) for generic greeting, if yer lucky it occasionally comes up with something obscene.

ah cheers

just played again, did a fantastic snipe on somebody else sniping. BOOM

I'm gonna be on this thing later. rabbitwithfangs.

"My minds tellin me nOOOooooooo, but my body, my BODY's tellin me yeas"

I came across a very random ped sitting on the wall of one of the freeways, smoking a cigarette, so i did the decent thing and shot her. The physics was brilliant, the shot sent her toppelling backwards over the wall and tumbling down the cliff side into the water.

wot a larf

Does anybody on here play multiplayer for PS3? I can't go get any other games just yet, and would like to develop a team of folks I know to go take on groups of randoms.

I'm loving Team Mafyia work, as well as turf war, but don't have enough people to populate a large team.

yeah i'm gonna be online in a few minutes, never played team mafiya though.
