Not only can you BASE jump in Grand Theft Auto Ballad of Gay Tony/Episodes from Liberty City, but you can do it with up to 15 friends!

Rockstar has revealed that among the game's multiplayer modes will be a 16-player BASE jumping challenge mode, where players can jump from nine different locations. And shoot at each other with rockets, of course. The game will track stats with full Rockstar Social Club integration, detailing things like total completion time for all nine jumps, distance to the ground before opening the chute, and more. 

Looks hot. Do want. It hits next week exclusively for Xbox 360 as DLC (Ballad of Gay Tony) or standalone retail disc (Episodes from Liberty City).

That actually looks like a cool, unique multiplayer game.

I would say Fnf, but I can't stand playing GTA4 online.

I will enjoy this alone!

I'm getting this game primarily for freeplay multiplayer. Had a BLAST with that in regular GTA4, and this adds a bunch more toys to play with. Should be fun. Love the Endorphin engine. Wish more games would use it. Looking at you, Saint's Row 2.

Umm... maybe Rockstar hadn't yet thought of the idea of a base-jumping multiplayer scenario when they first released the game? Shouldn't developers be allowed to add content to games post-release? It's not like they released it as payed DLC on day one or something.

No way, mrandydixon! All DLC is mostly always certainly mostly a scam! Guaranteed!

Take Rock Band, for instance. It was originally going to be a 700-song game, and then the emperors of EVIL themselves, EA, insisted on knocking it down to a fraction of that and spreading the content over two games plus hundreds of songs of DLC.

In fact, all those songs are already on your discs. When it says 40mb, what it really is is just 40mb of porn pictures to disguise the fact that the songs are already on your disc and that you are a stupid, gullible consumer. And wouldn't you know it, you can never access the porn, either.

DOWN WITH DLC!!!

so they're putting all those cool things you could do in san andreas, that you couldnt do in gta4 back into the series by charging for it. Well played R*

So... why are the haters ignoring the fact that they've written a brand new storyline to go along with this "base-jumping DLC"? If this episode is anything like TLAD, the story alone will be more than worth the $20 (and it'll probably be longer and more engaging than most full games you pay $60 for).

Hahahahaha!

But my disc is slightly scratched! I hope I didn't scratch over the base-jumping!

That looks like a kickass multiplayer mode. It looked awesome and then they said that you can shoot each other with rockets and rockets make everything more badass.

Mine is scratched over the "Gay" part. I'm just going to have "The Ballad of Tony". Doesn't sound nearly as interesting, but I'll give it a shot.
