HOSTS NEEDED!!

I'm in need of let's say three hosts for now for our new GTA IV Saturday Night debuting this coming Saturday. Any interested in hosting let me know in the comments section. My intentions are to have the festivities begin @ 8pm EST till whenever you get tired of busting caps and driving each other over.

Also, any game modes anybody is particularly fond of, post them and they will be incorporated into the festivities. I'm particularly fond of Cops n' Crooks myself. Different hosts will host different modes. That way everybody is playing what they want without waiting for their favorite mode to come along. Let me know something people.. Oh I might as well show a sneak peek at the banner as well.

I'll post all info for this event with Hosts and Times this Saturday at 3pm EST.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I'm not always home on Saturdays but when I am I'll host. I like the four player CO-OP stuff.

@shipero:

The Co-Op stuff is cool until you've done them all. After that, it's kinda iffy.

I'm all about Team Mafiya Work and Team Deathmatch. However, you turned me into a Cops n' Crooks fanatic.

I can possibly host, but I'm not a great host because I'm never 100% sure that I will be there...

Also, my PSN is Scape89, feel free to add me.

Not sure if being in Canada makes for a great host ping wise...... but I am up for Saturday Shenanigans.

Cops and Crooks so far for me, even though I have only done it once.

I'm so alone, depressed, and emotionally detached from family and friends. Therefore I am a perfect host, even though I can't drive worth a poop in that game.

Sadistic you'll be one of the hosts.

Also people let me know what modes you guys want. Cops n Crooks for SURE with me.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Sorry, I just break out into that whenever I see a picture of Ricardo Montalban.

Also, Unbreakable was a solid movie. Nice recommendation.

sorry man I have a PS3 but went with GTA4 on 360 since most of my local friends'll be playing it on that...

All modes work the best with only "Team" blips on. It's sooo much better when you don't know in a Team Mafiya Work where the other teams are. Or in any mode. Team blips only! :)

manta says:
(# 12) on 05/06/2008 01:47

Whoops, forgot my favorite modes. Team Mafiya Work is great, and so is Team Deathmatch (with a smallish area and the aforementioned Team blips only).

I think we could come up with some cool stuff to do in Free Mode, it's just a pain because those without mics are completely out of the loop (you can't hear other players unless you have a mic yourself). But I was thinking something along the lines of fist fighting on the Empire State building, or some other skyscraper would be cool (and epic as balls).

And, GTA Race is great. I prefer to race with slower vehicles though. Hosts always pick the Supers, and it sucks. As soon as your Super is exploded/you die, you're completely out of the race. All the other cars that you can find have no chance of catching a super.

That shit sounds cool Manta..hmmm.

Gantz says:
(# 14) on 05/06/2008 03:04

i totally second manta's idea, Fight Club atop the Empire State Building does sound about as epic as they come.

I can host Saturday's if its after 7 or 8 p.m. I like the cops and crooks and any deathmatch modes. Expect me to be totally shithoused while I'm playing though.

Keep in mind, it probably wouldn't be that hard to create our own game type in Free Mode either. We would just have to create a scoring system.

I'm down to play, but I probably shouldn't host with my wife playing WoW and all.

But I'll definitely be there Saturday.

If I can win a copy of GTA for my PS3 I'll be all over it.

MrSadistic says:
(# 20) on 05/06/2008 09:08

I'm up for free mode and doing random, stupid shit since that's how I roll on here anyway.

bananas.

Saturdays eh? I might actually be able to do it, provided everyone can connnect to me ok.

SantanaClaus89 says:
(# 23) on 05/06/2008 16:48

I would volunteer to be a host, but if I did that I wouldn't be able to play in the same game as j1mb0, ergo I would not be able to park cars up his ass all night long, so I must regretfully decline.

I'll be there Saturday.

After playing some more online today, I've got another suggestion.

Turn Auto-aim off.

Seriously, it ruins a lot of the fun of rolling around in a TDM with your buddies in a car. You just have to hold down two buttons and you're guaranteed a kill. I suggest for at least when we play deathmatches or other events that require a lot of on the ground shooting, that we turn auto-aim off.

It really is a lot more fun without it.

I'll try to join you guys tomorrow at around 5pm PST...Who's PSN ID's do I need to add?

My PSN ID is GullyState. I have a headset too and am addicted to cops and robbers with teamwork.

I've never done a FNF or anything. If it's not too late, I'd love to join you, I 100%'d the game, and can't stand playing online with random people who think every game mode is a deathmatch. I'll play anything really. Cops n' Crooks and Team Mafia sounds good I've got a headset and everything.
PSN is Kinjii (2 i's)
