Well gta has multiplayer... whoopde ****in do. You can't search for games??? So what's the point? How fun would halo be if you couldn't search for games and you had to play with your friends / friends' friends? Not many people even want to play mp if they get it working they just want to play sp.

 

So wtf is there a way to search for games that I'm missing or something or is the multiplayer really that dumb. If you can't search for games it's just a tease imo.

 

I'm on 360 btw... tounge.gif

Well, you can..?

So, you can?

 

You mind explaining how? I'm having the same issue... It just takes me to a random room with some people. I don't know how to search, if you can, for games. I know you can choose which mode you want to play but once I select the mode, it just plops me in a room with people who are waiting to play... confused.gif

 

I'm on Playstation 3.

If you're the host of a brand new game with no one in the lobby and don't want to wait for it to fill up. Hit select and it will place you into a new game.

Go to this website and click on the "Getting Started" PDF. It gives a description of what you are able to do in multiplayer and how to do it. You can invite friends, create rooms, whatever else u want. Otherwise, the game puts you in a room with random people (for people with no XBox Live friends). It just takes getting used to javascript:emoticon(':p')

Wow, I never knew someone would find it that difficult,. I just went to my phone, multiplayer, then I searched for a match(usually Team Dethmatch) and voila.

Aren't there a lot of people playing this game now? I couldn't find one densely populated server right now.... weird!

Most of my matches have been maxed. I haven't had troubles with this game at all.

Honestly, most people are probably still engulfed in the single player. Especially since that is all the GTA has ever been known for. I can't even play my damn copy yet b/c i got the red rings of death and my sh*t is getting repaired.

Okay here's what might be happening

 

 

firstly make sure you're following these steps:

Phone>Multiplayer>Player/ranked match>Quick search>Select gametype

 

you will host your own if you do this

Phone>Multiplayer>Player/Ranked match>Custom Game>select match

 

However.

You will Automatically host a game if the following 2 things happen (even if you use "Quick search")

1)there are no Free rooms

2)there are no rooms at all

 

To take a party of friends into games:

Phone>Multiplayer>Party game

 

this will take you into a free roam like place, when your friends join thew will automatically be shown as on your team, from here host can select ranked team games (team only in ranked) or any kind of player match (FFA included) the party will follow host to the selected gametype.

 

 

hope this has helped.
