i enjoy it though i feel i'd enjoy it alittle more if there wasnt an auto-aim button. It seems to take away any real skill in killing people

i didnt know that, im rarely the host though. i usually just jump into games ive been invited to and play along with friends though i'll look out for that, see if i can convince some of my friends to play without it.

People leave when you disable auto aim. Generally more than half the players will ditch the server when you disable it.

gta online is pretty decent if you are able to get a good game going with auto aim turned off which i havent had much of a problem doing. with auto aim on it is definately weak sauce.

Auto-aim definitely ruins it but not many hosts disallow it.

Stupid match-making-system also makes it harder to find a game with it disallowed.

The shooting controls in GTA4 aren't precise enough to kill anyone without auto-aim. I'm definitely one of the people that will run away screaming if I see that option turned off.

I'm personally getting tired of starting my own game, and having to wait foreeeever for it to fill up with people. Also, when I join someone else's game, and the "leader" doesn't start the game, even though there are a ton of people waiting. There needs to be text chat so you can say "hurry the hell up! let's go!!!"

I also don't understand why people set up games that use the entire city, but only set the game for 5 minutes. It takes five minutes to find anyone!

Having the police on in deathmatch is moronic, IMO. Every time you kill anyone, they're all over you! How is that fun?

One last thing. TURN THE FREAKIN' RESPAWN TIME TO 1 SECOND!!!

Reading all this, I'm sure everyone thinks I hate GTA multiplayer. I really don't. It's incredibly fun when the options are to my liking, and when there are enough people to keep things interesting.

Its extremley wak! I personally bought the game for the story mode, and looked at the online as a total bonus. Some people, on the other hand, bought the game for online only. I think the online for it though is pretty lame. The auto aim is really dumb, and I still cannont for the life of me figure out why it takes an entire clip to kill somebody with an assault rifle, but only two shots with a pistol... that is super dumb. But I still think its one of the best games ever, because the story is just soooo good! But I do agree with you about going to COD4 for online, and being PO'd that the MGS4 beta is over!

having the police on adds to the chaos... and sometimes it is better to have a little longer respawn time so that the person can move from the location where all the madness happened...and for the auto aim I am pretty good with it off and prefer it that way cause that way you wont have those cheap kills from people...

I guess my point is you cant really call everyone who doesnt want to play the way you want stupid or moronic... but hey it is your opinion dude so who the hell am I right... Oh but I do agree the host in the room needs to start the game as soon as it is decent...

GTA IV is the only game that I have for both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. It is way better single player in my opinion too. Still though, I rate it 9.5 out of 10. The multiplayer is no fun with DM or TDM, but it is fun in free mode. I agree 100% with you.

The name of a god.

I agree, i've only played the online portion of GTA4 once and i felt really alienated by it, i think the game probaly works better when you play with a group of people you know, (like a LAN game or something) but against random people its just not that interesting, the online is really over hyped, IMO much like the rest of the game for that matter.

I hate when that happens, it just shows how much they suck. Anyone could lock onto a person and move it up/down to get a kill instantly.
