I read somewhere that the MP was not going to be an MMORPG but i'm all for it if it's true. Either way this is going to be quite the game to last for years to come. Until the next GTA comes out of course. I'll try to find the site where I read the MP not being in an MMORPG fashion.

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.

This is going to kick the ass of every racing game and basically every game ever I think.

Multiplayer Details:

GTA IV will support sixteen players simultaneously on both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network and many of the twelve included game modes are playable individually or as part of a team. The modes are: Deathmatch, Mafia Work, Race, GTA Race, Cops 'n' Crooks, Hangman's Noose, Deal Breaker, Turf War, Car Jack City, Bomb Da Base I, Bomb Da Base II, Free Roam

* The game host determines the rules of the game prior to it starting, with options for weapons, number of pedestrians, traffic level and police intervention being some of many available.
* Players can choose a variety of customizable characters before the game begins on a map which is said to be the same as the single player version.
* In the race modes, the host can determine how many laps to undertake and players can shoot and throw grenades from the car. GTA Race is a similar mode, with the added twist that players have the ability to steal opponents cars.
* Cops 'n' Crooks splits players into two teams - the cops and the crooks. Cops can see the location of the crooks on the radar and must hunt them down. Crooks don't have the luxury of knowing their rivals' location.
* The Mafia Work modes involve assassinations, with one player being earmarked as the target and the rest of the players in the game racing to kill them first.
* Hangman's Noose provides a link between the single and multiplayer modes by allowing players to undertake a cooperative mission from the single player mode where a mobster must be escorted and kept alive against the attacks from the pursuing police.

All I can say is, Holy ****!

Does anyone ever really finish these types of games?

I do. I do every little thing in the game until you can't do/get anything else out of it. Like I do with most games. The good thing about the GTA series, once you finish the game there is still lots of fun to be had because you can create something new all the time. Even if you don't finish the game you can still mess around by driving cars, killing people, driving cars while killing people, flying and pretty much whatever you want.

When I was playing GTA: San Andreas, I never finished the story missions. I spent way too much time collecting bulletproof cars and all that. xD

Yep i think it'll be worth every penny. I'm wondering if I'll still play RB when this comes out. EA has been trying so hard to buyout Take Two (the company that currently publishes GTA) but they won't sell it.
