Rockstar to disable Online-play until...

I'm assuming the game's first couple of missions shows you the controls like any other GTA. Do you think Rockstar should disable Online-play for people Until they have completed the required missions? I personally think Yes, because then you know what your doing when online AND You actually play the game itself that R* have been working on for Years.

I think that is a great idea. As long as it's not too far into the game. That'd keep the noobs out.

Yeah i agree, maybe doing the missions that show u how 2 do the basic stuff then maybe a mission where you buy your first phone then you learn about the multiplayer and unlock it then

I agree icon14.gif that way you actually play the game and get a feel for it before you jump straight into MP

Oh sh*t, i think this MIGHT happen actually! because to go into Online you go thru your cell phone, and Niko doesn't get his cellphone until later in the game (or so i heard)

Intresting point, I'm wondering if you could do multiplayer through the whole map, or just the parts you unlock??

you start out with a cell phone.

you just don't get the cell phone that plays mp3's until later in the game.

I think you'll HAVE to do the first missions as Multiplayer is accessible thru your Cell Phone.

That's probably it, maybe i heard wrong. But i remember saying that Niko starts out (or gets from friend later in game) with a cheap phone and then you get a Whiz mobile. The Whiz mobile will probably have the Online feature.

No, I don't think they should be conservative like that, and force something on people that isn't necessary. If someone really wants to play multiplayer on April 29th (which doesn't sound that unreasonable to me), I think they should be able to. What would it hurt, everything will work itself out.

I dont really think it's needed to stop people playing online till they done a couple of misions. As the only new controls really are the cover controls. And if you dont learn that before you go onlie u get blapped in the head which is yer own fault.

 

I will prob have a bit of praccy and then go online but I dont want to be dictated to how long I have to play before I am allowed online, I have played all previous games and the controls dont seem too much different. Only minor additions.

Can you tell me why you disagree? Don't just say you do, give me an explanation, thanks.

That will just cause people to rush unnecessarily through the story mode. I want to make a conscious choice when I play my multiplayer, you damn Nazi. I'd do it only after finishing the singleplayer myself, but let's not force it on others.

Having people get familiar with the controls and the vibe of the game before embarking on the multiplayer part is a great idea. Will prevent quite a few dumb questions from people that have no idea what they're doing, jumping straight into playing online.

Brilliant idea, people need to experience the single player game up to a certain point before they jump into online.

I agree with the idea that people should complete the tutorial missions before playing online. Everybody then has an equal footing when starting off.

Who even will think about the online play when you first get this game? I'll probably check on it a little while later but my main focus will be on SP.

It makes no sense to access parts of the map through multiplayer that are still locked in single player. There's either no multiplayer till 2/3 or 3/4 of the single-player game is complete, OR, you can only see other players who have unlocked the same areas as you.

I think this is a pretty good idea, like closing the boroughs until you complete a few missions idea, you will feel you have accomplished something when you do unlock online play biggrin.gif

GREAT idea

 

would be awesome that way people dont just go jumping into online play whilst being noobs still. Also it will make so we can all get used to the game first.

Great topic. I was thinking about the same thing this morning. I think it would be great if the MP was not open from the beginning at least until after a certain % is passed or some sort of unlocking point is reached. That'd be sweet. cool.gif

nah you guys are nuts!!!!I shouldn't have to wait to unlock parts of the map to experience mplayer with my homies. Why the f*ck should we not have the option to go online right away if one chooses to do so??

 

I thought this games all about the freedom of choice it would contradict itself if we were forced play splayer before dwelling in mplayer!!!

 

Besides I guess i'm the only one that only really cares about the mplayer experience more than the single player huh.

THE OTHER OPTION

Rockstar have confirmed that multiplayer will be open from the start of the game, during your single play you can get your cell out and go to the online multiplayer option... even though it will keep noobs out the multiplayer option will on straight away

We should not have to unlock multiplayer imgaine having to beat cod4 even tho its really short and easy...just to play online thats just stupid...yea playing the actual game may give people a little more experience but playing online does to...R is never going to have us have to wait for multiplayer that would be extreamly stupid of them...especially for me cuz i want to try the multiplayer before i even play the story...since i already no im going to playing single player for hours and hours and hopefully multiplayer is good enough that i want to play that for hours to...

because a major part of Online play is pretty much just "jumping in " your not gonna learn how to f*ck up a another player from a npc tutorial your gonna learn from actually getting in the mix and seeing how things really go down with that said im sure rockstar is gonna keep singleplayer and multiplayer separate if im wrong here
