Grand Theft Auto IV Multiplayer Modes Revealed

The GTA IV website revealed the multiplayer modes that the game will support, marking the first time that the series will feature more than two players at the same time ever since it went 3D. With all the gameplay elements that the GTA series is known to offer, how well did Rockstar manage to integrate them into multiplayer cohesiveness?

Here are some of the multiplayer modes:

• Team Deathmatch – “Rub out” other teams and loot opposing players’ dead bodies for money. The team with most cash at the end wins.
• Team Mafiya Work – Work as a team to complete “Mafiya” contracts before time expires; missions include: escorting wanted men, picking up MacGuffins and stealing cars. Teams must “scupper” opposing crew’s work too, as it’s the team with the most cash at the end of the round that wins.
• Team Car Jack City – Teams must collect cars that spawn around the map and take them to drop off points for cash; the condition of the cars when dropped off determines the amount of cash, except for bonus cars stuffed with drugs (these have a set value). Teams must deliver the vehicles ordered by the “boss.” The team with the most cash at the end wins.

The game is set to be released on the 29th of this month.
