I hope that someone who works for Rockstar Games just stumbles across this forum.
Your multiplayer is completely and utterly atrocious. Copying Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty multiplayer franchise to benefit your own game is absolutely pathetic.
Animations:
You had a great thing going with the bullet time working in multiplayer. But it falls short due to the worst animation I have ever seen. I am so sick of the bullet time ending because I collided with a book shelf or file cabinet or the bottom of my shirt hits a desk or a computer. If I am behind something and I hit W and space bar your god damn game should know that I want to jump over the table into a Superman dive capping face at the same time. No I go face first into a wall, then fall on the ground then have to wait to get up then I can aim then shoot. I want to slide on the ground keeping my momentum going if I still have bullet time left. I do not want it to end right when I hit the ground. Make us slide on our belly capping face. I think it would make more sense for bullet time to end due to ammo or reloading then a lame ass collision with a wall.
Guns
Why are you stealing Battlefield 3's weapon unlocking system? Seriously this is the most LAZIEST thing I have ever seen. First of all the guns are completely unbalance. Along with the ranking system to unlock these weapons. There is such a HUGE gap between your selection of guns. I mean you give us a shotgun 2 pistols a Uzi and a ak47 to start off with. Then I unlock 4 more weapons at 5. Then I have to wait until level 20???????? Are you kidding me level 20. The guns do different damage... why? This is not balance. Guns in multiplayer should never change on damage. All guns should do the SAME damage. This is so that the game can balance out. Your going to sit there and tell me to not rage out when I get shot in the toe by a handgun and die vs me shooting a automatic full blast in the chest? Logically this does not make sense because you are rewarding players who have no skill and no accuracy. Stop rewarding a person because they sat there for 8 hours a day every day to unlock a weapon that kills you from being shot in the toe. Guns should be tweaked on accuracy, rate of fire, and ammo clip size. I would rather die from a head shot then die from bleeding from my big toe. As you can see there still is a variety of guns that people will want to use. Since one gun is not going to be over powered you can get a feel for what your play style is. Do you want slow rate of fire but more accurate guns or do you prefer the wild fast firing guns? Or do you prefer to get up close and personal with a shotgun. Stop with the trend of Battlefields and Call of Duties, they are the most worthless type of games. They reward bad players that work around your system. Instead of complying with it.
Ranking System
Your ranking system actually is copying Battlefield in every way possible. You did nothing creative in any way possible to do your own thing with this game. I am ashamed that Rockstar would pass this multiplayer experience off as a finished product that they would sell to their customers.
Your ranking system has too many gaps. I do not mind leveling my guns, but leveling my personal ranking system just to unlock guns that I can not afford is just plain bad. You do have a match making system but it was the worst match making system ever since I was paired with level 40's at level 9. Your system is called the republican system. It keeps the rich, rich and the poor, poor. Meaning I am never going to acquire more points then the higher ranked players since they have more features, guns, and devices working against me in every game. I player who just starts your game for the first time will never enjoy the experience since it is not fun to sit there and get your ass kicked by 4 people with 2 golden D Eagles. It is made to reward people who have invested the most time in your game and rip apart anyone with a hour experience under their belt.
May I suggest that all the guns be unlocked. And you add a very inexpensive renting fee on the guns for possibly 8-24 hour time limits at one time. If the player wants the guns permanently then they can pay the full price for the gun. This will also let the player not commit to using all their hard earned cash on a weapon they never tried. It saves them from going "Crap this gun is not to my liking. I wish I can trade it out or get a new gun" No they can't. And they have to use that gun and play to that guns play style as well. So they are stuck playing a game the way they do not want to play it. Of course they can go back to the starter guns. But why would you do that if the gun does more damage?
Equipment / Abilities
I like the helmets and Kevlar body armors. This adds more customization, keep it in the game. The abilities where you press shift and your able to see where the players are with eye symbols above their head, or ability that confuses players so that their team is the enemy and enemy is the team. These little perks can make the game unbalanced since it conflicts with the ranking system. But the fact that they benefit the team more so then one single player is kind of a fun twist in the game. I am on the fence with that.
Miscellaneous
There are a number of bugs in the game that need to be fixed. Collision issues, like getting stuck in objects. And the aim cursor disappearing randomly. I would also like if the cursor was more free look. When diving behind cover I do not like that the mouse cursor disappears, but reappears when you hit right click to aim. This makes popping out to shoot more risky sine you do not know where your cursor will be when aiming. It can make gun fights more challenging and rewarding.
