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.

^^^ Damn I was just about to post that...

UK-based PLAY Magazine is the latest magazine to get their hands on Grand Theft Auto IV. They have an eight-page multiplayer preview in their latest issue. There are no new screenshots, but there are some interesting (mostly minor) new details:

* Multiplayer can be accessed via your mobile phone during single-player. Select the 'Multiplayer' option and from there you can select game types and send invites for your friends to join you.
* The host can control things like time of day, vehicle classes (specifically for GTA Race mode), weapon types, traffic, the location of the match, the weather type and choose whether the game will feature police or not.
* As mentioned previously, you can customise your online character. You start off with basic modifications such as sunglasses, hats, tops, trousers and so on, but the more you play the game, the more options you unlock.
* PLAY Magazine saw a random pedestrian spraying graffiti on a shop. Pedestrians now have purpose. There are more unique moments.
* Each game mode can support differents numbers of players, with 16 being the maximum. Click here for a summary of the eight game modes which PLAY got to experience.

I just read something in a preview which said that pedestrians can call your mobile by accident (like dialling the wrong number). Lulz?

This game seems to have an immense amount of detail, although some of it looks to be there for novelty purposes.

Multiplayer modes sound absolutely brilliant. Not sure a split screen will do it justice though.

EDIT: Just realised its more for online gaming, in which case..cracking stuff.

Oh my goodness. This sounds incredible. Imaging cruising about in a car with all your mates, just popping people. Cannot wait.

Waiting....
I'm leaking. That second picture where you have two blokes shooting out of a car looks like an awesome prospect.

When playing Cops and Crooks, I guess you could pretend you're in that film 'Heat'.

Multiplayer will be immense! I cant wait.

I've got this bet on however with a few of my mates. They've all chipped a fiver in, and they're going to see how long I cant last without buying the game, if I wait until mid June, I will win the monies!

How much can you pocket?
By "a few" I'm thinking 3-4 which really wouldn't be worth it, if you could earn more then what the game actually costs then it's not that bad of a deal.

THE MAP!!!

@Miggy, there are a fair few of us, I think there is enough so that if I win the bet, the money earned would pay for the game. If I go even further than mid June then I think they all have to put in another £2.50, but thats not confirmed yet.

Free GTA. S'all good.

Does the deal say anything about renting or borrowing GTA? ;)
