How Multiplayer Should Be.

[ArienMC]

There should be TDM, FFA, CTF, etc. Basic modes that are in every other multiplayer shooter out there. But, it should be confined to certain spots on the map. Maybe follow every other GTA and make road blocks like they had on bridges. Death match in GTA IV didn't really word well IMO. When you died you spawned really close to other people, and you could just go where ever you wanted. If they made it with sectioned off spots the size of, let's say Max Payne 3 maps. Make some of the buildings (even if they aren't in SP) enterable. Just think of a map on Mount Chillad. With some thrown in cover, caves, etc. I think it could be great and keep people interested for a long time. On top of that have a rank up system, that gives you unlocks as you rank up. Weapons, attachments, clothes for your characters etc. Also have a good amount of character customization. Skins, hair, clothes, etc. This to me would be a amazing multiplayer game that I would play forever. I just think it needs to be a little more controlled, or linear if you will. And of corse a free roam mode where the whole map is open for you and your friends.

So you basically want Max Payne 3 JK

 

I thought about this too, but it'll be hard to keep the players confined in a certain space but I think it'll be cool. Especially depending on how many interiors there are, they can me maps on their own.

[MaddFool]

nice ideas

[ill-thoughts]

i think it should work like Midnight Club LA: when you go online from single player, you end up in a world with 20 other people and you can pull up your phone and suggest multiplayer modes for everyone to vote on, once enough people agree, youre teleported to a spot on the map to participate in that game.

 

Or it could just work like GTA4, their system was fine. only thing id change is id make the mode selection an actual Screen so people can search for the modes they want that way. in 4, most people never even Knew to scroll down through the phone for the other online modes, they just went straight into a deathmatch or freeroam.

[DickieM]

I want it like in RDR, but instead of creating a new FFA/CTB in the MP free roam, we should be able to access it from the MP main menu where the options for Friendly, Normal and Hardcore FR are. I personally think RDR's multiplayer gameplay sh*ts all over MP3. I just hate the whole levelling-perk/advantage system and how slow and restricted MP3's MP is.. That sh*t belongs in BF/COD etc, I really hope V doesn't go that way.

I want a free roam game mode with no radar, no tags, no choppers and no fighter jets. I'd call it "Genetically Superior Mode", or "ALPHA".

[BUT THE BENZ]

It will be like a "new wave" MMORPG - mark my words!

 

Level & ranking system:

You complete tasks/missions, win races, perform gang/turf wars and your rank increases. You also gain money - to further customize your character. In Multiplayer money plays an important role too. The bigger your budget the more ways you have of customizing your character, with more weapons, tuned cars and so on.

 

Missions (quests):

There are storylines being followed online, either continuing ones from the singleplayer or untouched story-arcs, shedding light on story aspects seen in the singleplayer but not picked up on in the progress. There will be more than just races, deathmatches , free roam and so on - who's to say that the multiplayer doesn't have a story line for itself? Like in the multiplayer you gonna have to do heists with your crew mates!? Maybe break a crew mate free from a building which requires you to plan the approach just like in singleplayer, and so on?!

 

CREWS (guilds):

Fighting other crews as seen in Max Payne 3. The idea of "Capture the flag" could be re-designed and stepped up to another level. They could bring back the idea of "turf war" where you have one crew play "ballas" and one crew "families". Good old shoot outs in the streets of California, under the palm trees. "The hood is under attack" - now you could either try to go there and defend it, or let a rival crew take over and give them payback another time. Whenever you gained turf stuff will be available for you there, like a safehouse, you could really build up your hood.

 

The idea is that you have the whole V map accessible with all players logging into the same "world". There could be 1000 players running around in the same Los Santos. 100 vs. 100 players in a single gang war. There will be no deathmatch lobby, no racing lobby, it's all in live action in certain areas of the world and you need to get there (by plane, bike, car, motorcycle, whatever) in order to take part. It's all taking place live, it's some unique multiplayer idea, truly immersive-ish...nahmean?

 

That's what I "expect" in one or the other way...something "crazy" genius...revolutionairy etc...Max Payne 3 showed the way with CREWS, now imagine that concept in a big map as V's Los Santos...with all the action going on in there, heists, races, turf wars, drug deals, gambling sessions, I don't know, all that noise....namsayin?!

what about dogfight DM and TDM ?

That all sounds awesome to me, however, i doubt we be getting that many players per server, i've never seen any xbox game that had more than 24 players in one server

 

As a concept though, you are speaking my language. That's exactly the kind of thing i want to see.

[vincentmillidge]

Your Fully customisable multiplayer character (Custom Crim') will amass a wider range of clothing, physical, weapon, vehicle and skill options by earning money from victories in TDM, DM, Races, GTB, Turf War etc as well as players earning money/points by pulling off heists, robberies, muggings, assasinations/hits, drug deals in free roam. icons on your maps will indicate places (banks,restaurants, shops etc) that can be held up, assasinations/hits and drug deals will be accessed from either pay phone missions or from characters (ie brucie, roman) from the single player game.

 

Both 'vs multiplayer' and 'freemode' will be more dependant on 'co-op' gang/family/crew gaming

[SARDYNA108]

IV & EFLC multiplayer without hackers and unranked games would be perfect, I hope V's multi will be similiar to IV/EFLC

[fridaynightscream]

Capture The Flag, Team Deathmatch, Free for All, Cops and Robbers, New Cool Modes, and Free Roam is all I want.

[Raavi]

I could care less about the different multiplayer modes. Give me Free Roam and I'll be a happy camper

[gtafan023]

well i dont care much about multiplayer

 

but i do hope theres a mode where you must play within that area of the city and unable to leave the area,that would be cool,the map is too huge for few players,its ridiculous

[GtaVComments]

Capture the flag sounds good. Having say minimum two teams of 3, that both have bases were the flag is stored, & if you die there's a respawn zone for both teams that isn't their bases. Would be particularly good in the countryside/mountains

[MWDJ1992]

me i want multiplayer triathlon`s, golf matches, tennis matches, demolition derby, u know some other game modes other than the usual DM, TDM etc..

Maybe next gen after next, buddy.

[mrSQUADKINGS]

I want the system to be like IV. the way you run and move with the character. phone. minimap. the minimap in RDR was to mutch zoomed in, things look like they was far away but they actually was near you.

 

And ALL the vehcles needs to be in the Multiplayer. cars, planes, boats and sub. But you should be able to turn each vechles On/Off.

I just wish it was more of a competitive multiplayer game. Right now it's not even a contender. Everyone could still have everything they love in free roam. But I want more of a focused multiplayer. Something like CoD, Battlefield, Halo, Gears, etc. GTA is a AAA game, that should have AAA competitive multiplayer. I love 3rd person games, but there's a huge lack of 3rd person multiplayer games.

[bubfubwubfub]

I'm posting this because I know rockstar will read it and get on the case right away. Lol. This is something I really feel passionately about. I put silly amounts of hours into GTA4 multiplayer.

 

I think it's great that people have ideas for new modes and concepts but I'd personally mostly rather see an improvement in the basics like the lobby ui, messaging, customisation etc.

 

Most of all though I hope they fix the goddam lost connections! It's completely unique to gta4 it doesn't happen with rdr etc please holy mother of christ fix this!

 

Please do the very basic coding required to stop these muppets who create 5 teams in a team deathmatch when there are only 5 effing people playing! Add the option for the crown to choose the teams or for it to form teams automatically based on rating.

 

Have a text based system where people can type in "shotguns prison" or vote or something in the lobby. If I'm the crown I can type "waiting for 5 people" to stop these noobs from flashing their checkbox like maniacs and leaving after 20 seconds of waiting because I wont play a 60 minute mafia war with their rank 0 ass. I could type "blips off" so everyone knows beforehand and hopefully everyone doesnt leave the game after 10 seconds when they dont see any blips.

 

The quick game / custom match option currently does feck all. Use it or lose it.

 

Customise, customise, customise! Let me turn off helis in free mode. Let me choose on a game by game basis if I want friendly fire or not rather than having to go about it the completely retarded current way of accessing the phone and changing my preferences. Gimme shedloads of hairstyles, clothing, colours etc I love making dumbass wacky characters and so does everyone else, it adds a uniqueness to your character.

 

Can't really think of anything else right now but come one rockstar your mp is minted you just need to tweak a bit of the options / preferences / lobby logic. And no more lost connections please. I know people who've bought netgear routers and it's still sh*te. I love this game so much I've literally sat for 30 minutes on occasion just waiting for a game I can finally connect to. Please fix gta so I don't have to do this.

I just posted this but I'll copy/paste it here because it is probably more appropriate in this thread:

 

 

I believe multiplayer will be amazing in this game. I feel as though I have some idea where it is headed, where certain Crews or randomly assigned teams compete against each other and the police (also operated by other players, as a faction of it's own) to perform heists. Basically, I see a series of mini-games, where the criminals attempt to go after targets or perform recon missions associated with a particular heist, and the police attempt to catch them in action. After a certain number of tasks has been performed, the option of performing a particular heist becomes available, and the criminals may choose to perform said heist as soon as the option becomes available or they may choose to perform more mini-games in order to gain more perks for said heist (for example, some mini-games would offer better exits in order to avoid police, some would upgrade the weapons for the entire team, some would offer stealth perks for the mission to slow down police response time, etc..).

 

In my vision, the entire map would be open, and it would be a very large server, let us say, 32- 64 players. There would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-8 heist targets spread across the map, preventing players on the police side from simply camping out in front of the only target. They would literally have to patrol the streets looking for criminals who are performing mini-game tasks, and attempt to prevent them from completing said tasks. Police and criminals would be penalized for killing each other outside of mini-games, except in the case of Vendettas, the mechanics of which would work similarly to those Vendettas in Max Payne 3.

 

Anyways, I've had this idea since R* said they planned to truly revolutionize open-world multiplayer, and I believe it could actually come to pass. Its success would be dependent upon how well the game rewards players for aiding their team in performing tasks, and how effectively they punish those who attempt to troll or play selfishly.

 

 

I actually feel this is very plausible, and may be the direction they are more or less headed in. It would be epic if they could actually pull it off.
