GTA: Gay Tony multiplayer to feature parachutes, tanks photo

What, did you think Rockstar was going to ship the next episode from Liberty City without some new multiplayer stuff? That's not their style, now is it? 

The Ballad of Gay Tony opens up multiplayer with access to tanks, attack choppers, brand new weapons, and... parachutes. To what extent you'll be using those chutes we're not sure, but if these screens are any indication, you're going to be doing a lot of it. The multiplayer will also feature "tighter" maps for Deathmatch, and will (in some way) keep track of kill streaks and assisted kills. 

Anyone out there still playing Grand Theft Auto IV's multiplayer, or is this what's going to get you back into the game? The Ballad of Gay Tony is available for download or as part of Grand Theft Auto: Episode from Liberty Cities at retail (along with The Lost and Damned on the same disc) on October 29, 2009.

I've never been a fan of the multiplayer in GTA 4, but those new additions sound cool.

So they're putting things in a exclusive 360 DLC that was in a last gen GTA game, but wasn't included in GTA4? WHAT-THE-FUCK!!!?

I don't mind 360 owners getting DLC, but this is pretty damn pathetic.

Kinda sad that this DLC Is more interesting and full featured than a lot of the other stuff being released at $60.

All other dlc offering seem pawltry in comparison. Except maybe pointlookout.

I hope people take notice. Although with most people happily paying $10 for 3 mp maps I'm nit hopeful thongs will change.

But bravo for Rockstar!

Can we please have more than 2 lame character models now? LATD's "guy with sleeves" and "guy without sleeves" were pretty lame.

It will be if it has a chainsaw, flamethrower and satchel charges.

Thanks Rockstar for cutting off half your fans who would happily pay money for extra content.

I'm getting it. I wonder if Rockstar will give us a free theme for purchasing all of their dlc, like Bethesda did for Fallout 3?

A buddy and I have a blast being obnoxious in GTA IV. Good times.

I felt that GTAIV not having parachutes, tanks, and attack choppers from day one was a step backward. GTA will be welcomed back with loving, caring, yet slightly suspicious arms when this drops though.

I cannot wait. This will definitely get me back into GTA IV. I've been playing it a little bit lately, but not nearly as much as I used to.

I'm getting this anyway, the Lost and the Damned was so enjoyable. Tanks might convince me to try mulitplayer again, I generally avoid it in GTA4, it's too dissapointing.

So essentially, Rockstar took everything that was fun about GTA, took it out, and then slowly added it back in for an added cost? Awesome, that's totally what I want from a dev.

PS3 and/or PC versions of this would be nice, but i'm not holding my breath.

Horray! This will totally ensure a fun week of dicking around with friends in freemode. Then I suppose I will move on to ranked matches...
In a different game!
BAM!
