Rumors About the Online Aspect of GTA IV

The traditionally guarded Rockstar has been mum on GTA IV's multiplayer modes, with many people speculating the multiplayer would be anything from an MMO-style afair to a full-on cooperative story mode. According to our source, that's not exactly the case.

GTA IV will contain a deep multiplayer mode, including deathmatch, team play ("Cops 'n Crooks"), and some sort of ranked cooperative missions. Our source specifically talks about modes called "Deal Breaker," "Bomb da Base," and something called "Hangman's Noose," but gives no further details. The game will also feature ranked multiplayer races, likely across the game's open roads of Liberty City.

Rockstar has also been known to include side quests and various mini-games in their titles, and not-surprisingly, GTA IV will be no different. We're told the game will feature recreational side-activities like throwing darts, bowling, and even pool. This of course is in addition to expected side-missions like package deliveries, "Most Wanted" side "quests" where you capture the crooks, and even offline street races. And if you're looking for videogame distraction from your videogame (addicted much?), you might want to try to beat the high score in a meta-game called QUB3D.

We've contacted Rockstar for confirmation of these details, but have yet to hear back from them. Although we're confident in the credibility of our source, we're going to treat these details as "rumor" until we hear something more.
