I'd love to get a game going tonight if you people are up for it.

So i just got done playing a 2 hour session in MP with Skills, Plarom, Omagnus, Tails, Dark nation,and some randoms. Shit was epic as hell. The crazy thing about it is that there was little to no lag at all and no pop-ins at all.

First I played a game of Cop n Crooks when there was only 4 of us and it was pretty awesome. the first round begin with me and dark nation as the criminals with DN being the boss. Plarom and Skills caught up to us in the police car where we proceeded to destroy them with our pistols. We then drove around to the escape boat where plarom and Skills had camped out and eventually sniped Dark nation right as he was about to leave on the Boat. the second round we flanked skills and Plarom and prompty destroyed em.

Cop n' Crooks while being an awesome gametype. Doesn't seem to really be suited for a small party, it's tailor made for basically 8 vs 8 and I cannot wait until everyone gets a copy and we end up doing a full 8 vs 8.

Also played about an hour and a half of Free roam which is just fullblown amazing and probably the best MP experience i've had in ages. The phone implementation is awesome as well. You can basically use the phone to set up on the fly private chats with anyone on the party and it leads to making some sneaky alliances and what not.

Most of the action this session took place around the Airport where we all kept trying to use the helicopters and the rockets. The only complaint i really had about free roam is that it seemed to be an open lobby and one douchebag random joined and was basically a dick, but at least you can use the phone to message everyone playing that you think " so and so should be kicked " which us doing so, led Plarom to quickly boot the dude.

Overall, the MP actually suprised the hell outta me and is alot better then i expected. I can without doubt say that i won't stop playing this game for a long time.

I just got home from picking it up about an hour ago, so I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. My gamertag is Manablade.

I might be up for some multiplayer tonight or tomorrow once I've played around with it in single for awhile. I've wanted multiplayer free roam since GTA3, so I'm excited.

add me to list LiquidSnack, I've played some multiplayer on my friends yesterday it was pretty good, i reckon i might as well use his unmodded xbox360 while i wait for my original copy, I am currently staying at his house and you know why!

Whirling Robo is the Jessykins. One should play with her in Liberty City!

For the roughly five GFF members who play on Live who don't have me added by now, my gamertag is melorous.

Yes, throw my name into the mix. Plarom

Oh lawd. As Iwata already explained, a bunch of us were playing yesterday and it was nothing less than EPIC, GLORIOUS CHAOS. The fun did not stop. From getting TYSON'D by Tails to trying escape the gatling guns of Skills, it was simply awesome. There's no shortage of ways to keep entertained!

Can't wait to have the full compliment of GFFers raising hell in Liberty City~

I'm up for this. I'm nuttyturnip on Live as well, so just drop me an invite if you see me online.

Tokubetsu is my GT. All I wanna do is take your money!

I gotta get on more of this later. Awesome time with Skills, Iwata, Plarom and Omagnus yesterday

At least once I figured out what the fuck do to

Okay so for those who don't have my GT, it is MR SHINRA. I'll usually be on in the late mornings during the week, and more-so, maybe, during the weekend. Or not, it depends.

GT's Ironbrand.

And no, I am not fucking driving. Ask Skills/Tails for details.

What is this shit about all this fun you guys are having? Invite me to a game if you see me on!

For the non-usual XBL peoples, you could feel the full force of my point-blank RPG if you really want to that bad: gamertag: Nazpyro. My weeknights are finally free again (I think), so yeah, I'll be on more.

Hold your hand out. Palm down.

Can you make an L with your index finger and thumb?

If so, that's your left.

That was fun, guys. Sorry I couldn't be around for more.

I'm willing to drive for any would be criminals. Skills can atest to my TOKYO DRIFT skills.

I'd like to get involved in this, though I've never played multiplayer before so I wouldn't be as badass as the rest of you. Just hit me up whenever you see me online. Gamertag is Bloggs GFF

my GT is z1p2kx if anyone wants to play some multiplay

Does it piss anybody else off that Ranked Mulitplayer matches are random as fuck? My friend tried joining me the other night for a race but everytime we tried we always got sent to a different race (e.g me being in cars and him in boats).

Getting used to multiplayer still but if anyone sees someone named "kupomog" dying a shitload on multiplayer then it's me. I have a headset for chat but I'm too chicken to say anything online.

My tag is x Rue if anyone wants to game. Sometimes I wonder if the aim in GTAIV is off/broken...but I still like playing it. :) Haven't played anything other than Team deathmatch..
