Multiplayer is in need of some serious fixing

Multiplayer in GTA IV was fun but it had tons of problems that needed to be fixed. Hopefully they'll acknowledge that here. These are some of the problems with GTA IV's multiplayer:

 

- Ranked Matches should use matchmaking!

 

(It's frustrating as hell that all games were treated as custom match, having to wait for both the majority of players to be ready and the King to be ready as well. Not to mention how you would sometimes get a King that can't decide what type of game he wants, or is otherwise AFKing. There should be a matchmaking system to bypass all of this. Player Matches can still feature the custom games format as it would actually give us a reason to use Player Matches.)

 

- There should be a penalty for quitting!

 

(Quitters absolutely ruined GTA IV's multiplayer. If you were in a race with a full 16 players, you would be lucky to have half that amount by the time the race is nearing the end. Let's not even get started on games such a Deathmatch and Cops n' Crooks where any sense of balance is completely thrown out the window. Speaking of which...)

 

- An auto-balancing system is a must!

 

(This was another side effect of GTA IV's atrocious custom game system. The fact that people can choose what team they can be on with no auto-balancing in place would often lead to some seriously unbalanced games. This was even worse an Cop n' Crooks, where it becomes a curb stomp battle for the Cops as they outnuimber the Crooks and have their powerful SMGs vs. the Crook's puny Glocks.)

 

- A time-limit should be implemented after someone wins GTA Race!

 

(GTA Race was ruined as games would often devolve into pseudo-deathmatches with no end thanks to there being no time limit after someone wins. I'd say a 5 minute timer after someone wins would be reasonable and would make GTA Race into something far more enjoyable.)

 

That's all I have for now. I'm sure R* will have fixed these problems having five years to learn from their mistakes. Multiplayer was underdeveloped in IV, but it should hopefully be much better in V.

 

What are your thoughts on this?

All i hope for is that Free Mode will return in GTA V. Becuse that was by far the best mode in IV.

I don't think people will stop trying to figure out how to alter videogames any time soon.

 

And by any time soon I mean, as long as they exist.

I Think were more likely to gain some info on multiplayer during May, mostly due to the fact that people dont sit around the computer during summer.

A lot of people do. Websites have shown to be more active during summer when there is no school.

Why do people still think that the multiplayer in GTA V will be just basic like in GTA V?

 

Even houser stated it will be revolutionary.

Gta IV was a decent online multiplayer when you could actually get enough people in your lobby to play with, if they sort out that and not have too many over powered weapons like in gay tony then i would accept it. But if they really put their minds to it then gta could be more popular than cod online

We really need some info on MP soon. I didnt really care for IV's MP, I liked RDR's mp very much and by reading how V's MP will be revolutionary. Just thinking about it makes me wonder what new will they introduce this time. I really hope we get atleast some news on MP soon, Im looking forward to it.

They need to add a server browser and being able to play mini games like golf and tennis in free roam and I'll be happy.

They need to put in an invisible wall on DM/TDM so players will not leave the chosen map.

I love that the host sets up the game.

If its not to your liking go elsewhere.

I really thought alot more games should have followed suit.

My bro is a cod man, and when I tried to explain host abilities, he was like "Yeah I know what the host does" when in cod host does nothing.

 

Matchmaking is not GTA style, we need to be able to pick where we want to fight, especially ranked matches.

 

@yougotsmoked^^^^

Absolutly not, no invisible barriers.

No wonder people didn't like IV MP, alot of people dont get it, the freedom, not only in SP but in MP too.

The freedom is in freemode, not deathmatch where the objective is to get the most kills/points. Not to make me chase you all over the place. If you cant win be a man and try your best.

Also, get some better customization! The customization in GTA IV was bland and boring, with most characters looking terrible. Give us more and better options to make our characters look nice and unique.

I agree, I want tons of customization, even more than SR III.

Better hit detection, especially with fists. Annoying as hell when two players knock each other out. I used to hate that when me and some buddies used to host fight clubs.

I'm more concerned with how people will spam the jets(if they're in freemode).

You thought the Buzzard was a problem..... suicidal.gif

Hopefully jets will take a bit of skill to fly and will make it a bit more difficult for people online, one thing though is people cant just hover and kill people like they do with buzzards in IV

I agree and some people may not agree with me but I have a feeling Rockstar never anticipated circle strafing in IV and how much it would ruin freemode.
