Quick preview of some of the multiplayer modes:
Deathmatch
2-16 players
Fairly self explanatory. Anything goes, you can use any tactics you like to kill off the competition. Confined to specific areas of Liberty City to keep the action intense.
Team Deathmatch
2-16 (in up to eight teams of two)
Same as above, except you're working in teams. It's possible to have up to four people in one car (or helicopter).
GTA Race
1-16
Race through the city on predetermined courses in a variety of different vehicle classes. You can pick up weapons en route and use these against your opponents, and you can also swap vehicles if you find a better one during the race.
Mafia Work
2-8
Mafia boss Petrovic has jobs for you, which he'll describe to you over the phone. Each job is like a simplified mission. You might have to pick up recruits for the firm or take out a target, or find and then dispose of a dozen severed heads.
Team Mafia Work
2-16 (in up to eight teams of two)
Same as above but this time you are in competition with another mafiya team for the same job. More tactical this time, and more challenging.
Cops N Crooks
4-16 (in two teams)
One team plays the crooks, one the cops. One of the players on the crooks' team is [randomly] assigned the boss and the others have to protect him and get him to an escape location on the map, while the cops have to hunt and kill him.
Hangman's NOOSE
2-4
Mafia boss Petrovic has illegally flown into Francis International Airport, and someone has tipped off NOOSE. You and your team must protect Petrovic and get him to a safe location in Liberty City.
Free Mode
1-16
Go anywhere and do anything! Like single-player, except playing with your friends.
