Ideas for new GTA4 game multiplayer modes
Rich Hutnik
structured play is needed. There are the usual games, but I propose
these as some ideas for game modes that can be played.
Well, for Free play, I might suggest the following:
1. Steal the bike. Object here is to have one player steal a bike,
and the the other players go hunt the player down on the bike. Object
is to stay on the bike as long as possible.
2. Bikeball. Use a bike again. Object is to drive the bike into
enemy turf in a given area. I thing the Bomb game is like this. This
one the difference is a bike is what you use. Plays a bit like
football.
3. Capture the cars. Like capture the flag, but each side has 3 cars,
instead of a flag. You want to get all of the cars between teams into
each others base. To make it more capture the flag like, each side
can have just one car in their bases. They could have it so that if
the car is blown up, the opposing team scores 3 points. If the car is
brought to the enemy base, the opposing side scores 7 points.
4. Cops, Mole and Robber. Players form clan before dividing up
teams. Somehow have it so one player can be a mole on the cop side to
prevent the cops from stopping the robber.
5. Hidden assassin. Do this in free play with a moderator. One
player is secretly "It" (the Assassin). His job is to kill as many
other players as he can before he gets killed or his cover gets
blown. Players who are killed are out of the game until next round.
They are not permitted to talk or give clues, short of maybe saying
they died. You can have it so that a player needs to get to a police
station to tell the game moderator who they think is it, or they can
hunt down the assassin and kill them instead.
6. Killer (assassin's game). In this game everyone has someone who is
out to kill them, and a target they are trying to kill themselves.
Object is to eliminate your target and be the last remaining player.
I believe Steve Jackson Games actually produced codified rules to this
game, and this might be the actual name.
I will admit that some of these ideas need a bunch more work to be
made into full-blown games that works.

play pool online with my firends (Nothing personal Roman, but NPC's
get boring after a while.).
It probably would've have been simple for RS to include this option,
so it makes me think they'll probably offer it to us later on XBLM for
a price.

Why? The NPC's are worth schmoozing as they give you access to useful
stuff. None of the mini-games are worth playing for fun IMO. I would
have enjoyed the pool but the terrible physics let it down.

Playstation Home?

your team has to try to find, steal, strongarm as much ammo and weapons
before the opposing team.
You can try to attack sooner to try to get quick, early kills or try to
get most of the weapons on a multiplayer map and just win through
attrition.
In a way, it would be like an RTS but you wouldn't be farming or
developing technologies obviously, just an arms race and then unleash
hell.

Sounds cool. You could have two bases to start, and they need to have
fists as the initial default. Have two based with oil tanks, for
example. Of course, I think you can do similar with just giving
everyone a pistol, which you do now. Cars are another possibility.
