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

[quote name='kube00']San Andreas that game was long and in my opinion way better then IV. Its fun to get mods for the pc version and play multiplayer. Vice City was ick..I wish they had a zombie mode for IV. Anyways lets try the strip club thing, we go deathmatch between 2 buildings with rockets or snipe rifles.[/quote]
Speaking of that...
Anyone remember reading about some "zombie/infected" type thing that started around the time the trophy patch came out?
Well during my play through, there were several times when someone that should have been dead stood up again. Anyone else notice that? Sure, maybe they weren't dead (I do think that NPCs can drop weapons without dying) but I thought maybe they added a random chance for a dead enemy to get back up.
 
[quote name='metaly']CAN WE PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC, GUYS.

thx[/quote]

The gen discussion thread is dead, we're the only ones left on cag who still play gta4 on ps3. Take your trolling somewhere else! :booty:

Less than 24hrs until the next match!
 
I'm not 100% sure I'm going to be available for tonight's game. I may go over a buddies' house and hang out or try to find something to do to get out of the house.
 
It looks like I'm going to be home tonight after all. The gf went out with her one gf for their annual Christmas dinner, then they're headed back to her friends' house so she can give her friends' kids their presents.

So maybe tonight I'll be on and ready to land on a few of ya with a chopper in deathmatch.:razz:

Though I DO wish the start time was friggin' earlier, cause I got stuff to do tomorrow in the daytime and I wanted to head to bed earlier.
 
[quote name='metaly']Generally I start the game as soon as I get home.[/quote]

I've played with Swavage(Mr. 420) before during non CAG GTA game nights and I routinely see many of the same CAGs who play during CAG GTA nights on when I'm on earlier or later.

So, as I've said before, if anyone wants to play a game of GTA or whatever earlier or later than the usual start time and see me on, send me an invite.

I'm trying to ween myself off the late night gaming lately, but having insomnia lately just seems to help facilitate that addiction. :roll:

Of course, the late night gaming also doesn't help my job hunting hours, which have been relegated to filling out online applications mainly as of late since I'm usually bleary eyed by 3-4 am.
 
I'm gonna try to join you guys so I guess I'll send out some friend requests so I get invited. Btw how do I mute people? It's rather distracting being able to hear someone else playing music in the background and stuff
 
A few of the people I play against switch to knives in our auto aim off matches and run around me slicing me up, while I'm trying to peg them with a good single shot to the cranium.

This is why I RARELY get out of my car when I'm playing DM.

By the way, did anyone else know that there are other buildings in Bohan you can go into with the same kind of door on it like your hideout/safe house?

I didn't until a couple of nights ago when a friend shot at me from inside the buildings.

There's actually a couple in Bohan like that. One is about two blocks from the safe house over by the one subway platform's steps and the other is in the opposite direction about a block or two heading toward the project in Bohan.

So I guess Rockstar wasn't kidding when they said there would be a ton of places you could go into in the game.
 
ill have to keep my eye out for that. thats one of the good things about multiplayer is finding out about the city. ive come across alot of places i didnt even know existed after i played through the story mode.
 
Hey arnoldhead and Shrapnellistic, sorry I couldn't invite you but with the way the in-game friends list works, you don't show up unless you're on my list before I start the game up. We'll try to get you in next week.

And man, I had this great plan to do stealth shotguns with the blips off but then 1) I picked too big of a map and 2) you could still see people's dots anyway! So much for that idea.

Good times, though.

No worries. I tried adding a few other people but I guess they were too busy playing. Hopefully by next week I'll be more than just a walking bullet sponge...
 
The shotguns thing was a good idea, maybe on a smaller map. But I barely saw anyone until we all kind of congregated on that one block. And the only kill I got that round was by bowling over kube with the huge dump truck. :p
 
There's a construction site down the street from where all that was going on. There were actual guys there doing work, with construction hats, and shovels, and a foreman. Well at least they were working before I blasted them all and stole their truck. :p
 
Hey guys. Because it's Christmas Eve this Wednesday, there won't be an official GTA night (hosted by me, anyway--anyone is welcome to take over). I'll probably be around some of the day but I don't want to commit to it because you never know what last minute errands might pop up. Hopefully everyone has a relaxing 24th where the only people getting hit by cars are those shoppers blocking you as you try to take that last parking space.

In the game, of course.
 
It would be amazing if the seasons changed in GTA...people in scarves and coats, Xmas lights, Xmas trees, ice skating, and lots of snow on the street.

You could do drive-bys on a snowmobile! You could car-jack a snow plow!
 
[quote name='freakyzeeky']Wait, there's Christmas shopping in GTAIV? :hot:
But if someone loses their parking spot in the game, will I get shot at like fiddy too? :O[/quote]

All the cool people do their Christmas shopping in GTA. :cool:

Snowmobiles!! Actually, just plain cars on snow would be sweet. I remember seeing some winter texture pack for GTA3 PC that looked really cool :)roll:), but it was just textures. It would be great if they had more weather conditions in a future GTA.
 
I'm sure most people will have plans, we didn't have too many show last week IIRC.

Snow? That would be pretty swell. Just driving on grass in the game is hard enough, imo.
 
[quote name='kube00']Yea I'll be out this week but I'll see you all next week[/quote]

The following Wednesday will be New Year's Eve. I'm planning on being seriously incapacitated.
 
Anyone interested in doing some trophy whoring between the 1st and 18th of January? :lol:
I need most of the multiplayer trophies still.

I'm on vacation those two (+) weeks and am looking forward to joining some CAG nights again.

Driving on grass in the game is hard enough actually. Mind you, that would be a nice thing to have, since Liberty City is based on NYC and it's in the northeast where we get snow and all sorts of other crazy weather.

But I believe I did see peds and even Niko's breath a couple times in the game when it was cold in the game. I also did see heat waves another time coming from the pavement. So, maybe the devs put subtle hints that the weather does change in the game, even if there's no snow in it.
 
yeah more extreme weather would be cool in the game. blizzards, maybe a tornado itd definetly be diff and add some challenges. but aside from that i want more weapons. for this being the next level of gta its lacking in alot of stuff. i wonder if its possible to add in some of the stuff from previous gtas through patches.

if possible id like them to add back in harrier jets and other planes for use, the ability to hold up stores for money, property purchasing and bicycles and bike races. and i wish they woudl throw in a real bigfoot and a sea monster just to shut people up about it. oh yeah and a country area full of trees so you can have forrest deathmatches and throw in a bunch of bigfoot to add in a level of challenge.

thats one thing i always felt they could have done in san andreas with all those country areas it would have been cool to hunt some animals.

You ever see some of the photo op things in San Andreas? My one buddy and I thought we were going nuts one night, since the one darted off into the distance like a friggin' UFO. We had to chase it around the back country and it finally stopped in the middle of some little bridge in said back country.

Of course, I doubt anyone would believe either of us unless they saw it themselves, but it was pretty unusual when it happened.

One thing I liked to do in SA was chase that white light that kept streaking across the night sky. Yet, no matter HOW FAST you could get your jump jet going, you could NEVER catch up with it.

Out of all of the things they took out from San Andreas to GTAIV that I miss, I miss the following the most:

*Parachutes(what the fuck good is a huge city filled with skyscrapers when I can't base jump from them?)
*Flame Thrower(I loved cooking me some peds in SA. :lol:)
*Jetliners(sure, it wouldn't take forever to get from Alderney to Bohan, but imagine the shock value of crash landing a jet on top of enemies in Team Deathmatch. It'd be more priceless than the 'oh shit' exclamations I've heard when I crash attack choppers on people in TDM)

One thing I wish they would've done, but due to LC being a stand-in for NYC I know they never would, is make the city fully destructible like many parts of the game world was in Mercenaries and Mercenaries 2.
 
yeah i remember seeing alot of strange lights in san andreas and i think there was a light underwater too( i miss the swimming aspect of san andreas as well). i also remember that one odd place near the lake where there was a wheelchair at the end of a dock.


i dunno if its true but i thought the rumor was they took out using jets in gta4 because of 9/11 and how liberty city was basically nyc blah blah blah but id always thought itd be fun to be chased or chase someone while using a fighter jet and theyre on a motorcycle or car.

i like gta4 but it does kinda feel like gta light when you look at all the great stuff they left out of it compared to previous gta games. i know its not the cheapass way but fi they could remake san andreas with the gta4 engine id buy it in a heartbeat.

san andreas had a better soundtrack too man i miss the country station that amos song was awesome.

What do you think I do with the attack choppers in GTAIV? I chase people down in deathmatch and free mode when they piss me off by trying to annihilate ME.

As for the soundtrack, I preferred Vice City, since I was a kid in the 80's and many of the songs from that one were ones I really liked back then.

yeah but i suck at using the helicopters but i could kick ass in the harrier. i actually had someone hit me with a helicopter earlier and someone else tried to cut me up with the blades. maybe ill practice with it someday but for now i really find happiness in running people over. question does the type of vehicle you hit people with better your chances of a one hit kill?
 
[quote name='Shrapnellistic']Don't forget they took out the military, which was basically tanks.[/quote]


yeah i miss the military in the game too. that mission on the aircraft carrier was one of my favorites from san andreas.

I was the OPPOSITE actually, in that I could annihilate peds and cops in Vice City with the attack chopper very easily, but with the harrier I had ALOT of trouble in San Andreas.

As for the best vehicle to hit people with to get a one hit kill, I'd have to say something large like a semi or one of those dump trucks from the construction site in Bohan.

Although just about any vehicle can kill other players or peds if you hit them right. You might want to try practicing in Free Mode, which is what I do alot. I've killed people in TDM with everything from a $$$gio to a dump truck and a helicopter and everything in between.

The east coast of Florida would be Eastern Standard Time(EST) or 10pm, which is the same time I start on CAG GTA night.
 
The rumors are true... GTA night will make its long-awaited return this Wednesday! Since it's been a while, here's a quick controls refresher:

Remember, the object of the game is usually either to kill members of the other team by whatever means available, or to drive your vehicle across the finish line faster than the other players.
 
thank goodness for the refresher

****insert witty joke about comparing being a virgin and getting laid for the first time to first gta4 night in a long while here because I can't think of anything clever at the moment****
