CAG GTAIV Night: Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel[ 9/2 @ 10pm EST ]

I'm pretty flexible with my gaming schedule as long as it is after 6pm PST on weekdays.

If changing the time works better for people I'll be down.
 
Alright, I'll update the OP with that list metaly. I've gotten a few requests over the past month or so being the OP, but since I couldn't show up half the time I'm wondering how many people stopped trying to join in if they didn't add anyone else.

I'll second that if there's another night that works better for some who can't make Sundays, let us know.
 
[quote name='metaly']I'd like to get a more up-to-date list of who's playing as well, so I know who to send PSN spam reminders to. (And you can always opt out of those if they're annoying. If I won't be around to host, I'll mention it here ahead of time.)

I think these are all the current Sunday regulars:

CheapestGamer
ChizelMonkee
Dasflikko
DD83
freakyzeeky
kube00
metaly
swavage415
x3x1x
yohsh

If a different night or start time works better for you, post it here. I know a few like randy_wrecked and Ghost_Face_36 used to play during the week but can't make the Sunday game, so it would be cool if we can find a night when everyone can play.[/quote]

I believe a few said that Wednesdays were ok for them as well. I think I joined in on a Weds night game once or twice as well, though I know some who play GTA IV online also play Warhawk some nights.

As for me, I'm ready for a game most nights, since I'm usually just getting blown up in Free Mode by other people. :roll:

Might I make a suggestion for a game mode to try out? CAG Fight Club? No weapons, just fist fighting. I'm sure it's been done.

Or how about one I heard about other people doing called 'King Kong' where the game is centered around the "Empire State Building". A group of players get to the top of the building and defend it against people in helis trying to knock them off of the building. Basically, it's like Cops N Crooks, cept that it's not set up by the computer.
 
Those custom games sound fun but they might be a little hard to coordinate since not everyone uses headsets. I'd be up for a huge free mode game sometime where everyone just does stuff like that, though. There was also a video on XBL where they drove cars off a ramp while other people tried to shoot them down with rockets. That might be fun. :twoguns:

xxx, now that you've got your connection working again, if you want to take over hosting and coordination, just let me know.
 
I'd still like to try doing some of the insane stunts like I've seen in the montages on YouTube. Some of those things were just incredible, like the ones where people jumped out of choppers and landed in a tiny pool or fountain.

I still wish Rockstar had actually kept an attack chopper with ROCKETS in the game, since that'd make deathmatch ALOT more interesting, since that's all I used to do for hours(fly the chopper in VC and blow up hundreds of cars).
 
I can play during the week just keep me posted. We could all go to the glitchy swing and fling ourselves. Or we could rocket battle with helicopters and cars!

i think i got the glitchy swing to work maybe one time, if that.....was fun though, even though the damn thing kills a car quick
 
If you guys move GTA night to a week night, no point in having me on the list of regulars. I work afternoon turn and would almost never be able to make it.
 
[quote name='kube00']You have to back up into it...LOL its funny to fling hummers[/quote]

I've actually seen several glitchy swingsets in a couple of projects in the game, so I'm not even sure which one you mean, but the one I used only threw me half a block and made the car I was in look like it went through a compactor.
 
I hate the smg. The uzi has twice the capacity and shits on the smg as far as I am concerned.

I ended up taking back the Logitech headset I bought from Gamestop. I figured I'd use it all of maybe 3 times before getting annoyed that the glitch on the game knocks it off after 2-3 games.

So back it went......

I'd say keep an eye out for a cheap one. Once sony gets off their ass and fixes VOIP (if they don't fix it before SOCOM comes out they're fucking crazy) we'll be talking more.
 
I sincerely doubt that once the online play for GTA IV ends, that I'll actually be playing anything online at that point. This is the ONLY game I'm actually playing online right now. Although, if the built in browser were better, I might consider going on some of the online game sites(freeonlinegames.com) and playing on there via the PS3.

But otherwise, I don't see myself as playing any other games online.

That's crazy! what about warhawk, COD4, SOCOM, MGO, Motorstorm 2, and sports games etc. GTA online isn't THAT good...
 
GTA night tonight! I just sent out reminders to the people in the OP, just for good measure. I'm going to start cleaning up my PSN friends list a bit because a lot of people added me just for GTA4, so let me know if you're not in the OP and still want to play.
 
How many friends can you have? I just cleaned mine up a bit and am back down to 15.
People playing gta yesterday were pissing me off big time. I don't know who is more stupid the people that sit there for 5-20 minutes with the crown next to there name with 14 other people waiting on them, or the people waiting that don't kick that person. Those people wasted about an hour of my time yesterday. And then there are the morons that change there team at the last second. Ended up having 3 turf wars where it was like 7-2 so I just spent the whole 20 minutes launching those retards in the air with the rocket launcher and then running them over with an ambulance. I was laughing out loud the whole time because it was so funny and they only had themselves to blame.

You can have 100 PSN friends. I wish I knew an easy way to see how many I have... I don't feel like counting.

Any you just described why I typically don't play games online. I don't know how many times I've watched my cousin sit at the COD4 or Gears of War sit at the pregame screen for 10 minutes or so.
 
[quote name='js1']That's crazy! what about warhawk, COD4, SOCOM, MGO, Motorstorm 2, and sports games etc. GTA online isn't THAT good...[/quote]

I don't like sports games, racing, most shooters or online only(Warhawk) games. To me, a multiplayer online mode is a nice BONUS, but if the game doesn't even have an offline single player mode, then it's a NEVER buy for me.

I'm mainly an action and sandbox game player, though on occasion I'll go to a buddies house and play one or two games of Madden. About the only 'sports' game that I'd play otherwise would be WWE games. That same buddy and I sit there for 3-4 hours at a shot doing all sorts of matches in Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth.

Now if THOSE games had an online multiplayer mode, I might think about playing them online.
 
I wish they'd rerelease WWF Royal Rumble for the SNES with online multiplayer.

And just because I always worry about the non-headset people taking off, if there's ever a long delay at the pre-match screen, it's probably because somebody just signed on and I'm waiting for them to join. Or the game is bugging out.

Also, let's try a fight club during tonight's melee-only DM.

I was just gonna suggest that after all this wrestling game talk.
 
at 9:57pm EST mics officially do not work for me. Also, no knife only FIST!

i'd add you mdam0re but if you add in the middle of a game you can't get invited via the party system and whoever adds you has to reboot their game.
 
gah! i just jumped out of the police cruiser to get the rocket launcher on the highway and when i went to kill a driver to take their car their dead body stepped on the gas and ran me over!
 
Fun games as always. A couple things: How did we win that one Cops & Crooks game? I thought all the crooks died in the street around Central Park, and then suddenly I respawned and we won the round. Not that I'm complaining. :lol:

Also why do the crooks spawn half the time in that industrial death trap??? :wall:
 
Haha, crazy games tonight... I can't believe my whole team got completely blown up by rocket launchers in Cops n' Crooks twice in one night. :lol:
 
x3x1x, you and I should compete for the GTA Olympics... Our wall-jumping and bridge-jumping skills that last CnC game was prefectly in sync. :)

Muahaha. I think the crooks should always start near a rocket and some armor. That would discourage the usual cop strategy of just charging in, guns blazing.

Hehe, I thought we were going to get the boss, but he made it fast over the fence and down the highway while there were no cars in site for us to highjack.

I thought the triathlon method by driving across the bridge and then swimming across the lake would be faster on the previous CnC game, as well as the "go down the obscure path until the road is blocked by a stone archway your car can't fit through then wait until the cops show up and shoot them all" strategy that worked pretty good too.
 
It would have been a near perfect night but that one cops n crooks match were I was the boss and got killed was so cheap. Some bitch on a bike with their buddy ran me over after I had only taken about 7 steps and the took all my life away except the smallest little sliver. The game was almost over in like 4 seconds. My game froze so thats why I left.

[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']I think it'd be a good idea if we had a schedule of some sort, showing what kind of games we're going to be doing. I was sitting there going 'not another C&C game!?!?!?'. Mind you, most of them were fun, except for the one where my one teammate kept shooting at me and blew up at least one of my cars. :roll:[/quote]

Sorry if all the C&C was getting old. I thought that was the crowd favorite so I try to do a lot of those once we get 6-8 people.

It's hard to schedule individual rounds since I never know what the overall turnout is going to be, much less how many people we'll have at specific points during the night. I'll start polling about the next gametype between rounds. If you don't have a headset you can send me a quick PSN message.

I'm not surprised that helicopters don't spawn during C&C, although it would probably be OK if they did since the cops rarely start near one. It would be sweet if you could turn them on in the options, though. Chasing down the crooks with a bunch of cops shooting from a helicopter = :drool:

And randy, I can't host that early on Wednesday (I can do 10, or 9:30 at the earliest), but someone else is welcome to. I'll try to join you guys later on.

10 EST is actually better for me...I have no objection to starting at that time.

I really didn't have a problem with so many C&C games, since I was getting my ass handed to me in deathmatch. I'm still trying to figure out how I came in first or second on that one race.:roll: Usually, I get nervous trying to do a powerslide around a corner and I overcompensate and then I have to take 2 minutes to actually get back on the damn road after I flip the car or whatever.

Whenever I'm playing Free Mode, many people end up setting it up ONLY at the airport and it quickly becomes a series of dogfights between people with helicopters, mainly since the choppers in Free Mode are mostly Annihilators.

I can't even count how many times I've been chased while I'm in a chopper through the narrow 'canyons' that the skyscrapers make on Algonquin, only to watch those chasing me crash into the buildings. :lol:

So, suffice to say if the cop team had me flying the chopper against the crooks, I don't think they'd stand a chance.
 
My favorite games to play are team deathmatch anywhere but the prison and turf wars usually in Bohan. I like cops and crooks but I think I may like regular deathmatches and gta races on bikes better.

I unplugged some things today and my ranking went from a 6 to a 0. I don't know why, I don't care, but if I was a 9 going for the 10 I would have been pissed.

I don't even know how to check my ranking and I don't even care really, but I would be annoyed if I were obsessed with my 'rank' and went from a 6 to a 0.
 
Thats really weird, it went back to a 6. I hate when people change things at the last second like say auto aim. Here I am thinking it is turned off and before I know it I have been smoked 4 times by an assault rifle. Yeah, that should have happened.
 
If anyone who normally plays the Sunday official CAG GTA night games sees me on during the week and wants to get a game going, let me know via a PM on PSN and we'll see if we can't get one going.
