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

I've been scaling back my GTA IV time lately while trying to finish Mercenaries 2 which I got back in August when it released, so I doubt I'll be making this Wednesday's game.

Actually, I've been scaling back my PS3 time in general due to the holidays and spending more time with the gf than at home. Plus, a couple of the people I've played against in GTA IV Team Deathmatch before have been having PS3 problems(discs not reading, completely dead PS3), so not many of those I play against have been on at night lately.
 
Well, as of now my gf is off completely on Weds as well, so that's my main, main reason now.

Spending time with the gf beats getting my ass beat in a game ANYDAY. :D ;)
 
Hrm bit of a change up. Will be able to make it tonight. Just gotta remember to pry myself away from Mercs 2. :)
 
I'll be there but we must play at least one match of rockets, and one match of pistol dueling or else I'll go play SR2.

And of course fast cars/big trucks on rain slicked raceways.
 
When I encounter someone online playing turf wars with blips off and auto aim on I will go on there team and with friendly fire turned off I turn there bodies into a pinball as I bounce them around the city off the concrete shooting rockets and dropping grenades in their face. Why would anybody play with auto aim on and the blips all the way off? That takes all the fun out of the game. I always do blips far in turf wars and mafia work and auto aim off. Yeah I feel dirty sometimes but I feel like they are wasting my time so I waste them. It is very funny hitting someone with a rocket and having their body go flying off a cliff into the bay.:lol:
 
i hate when the blips are turned off fucking annoying shit but i dont mind not having auto aim on. actually i prefer it off since it makes car kills easier and rocket launchers very fun to use. not to mention the humiliation of kiling people with knives as they try and shoot you . how good are any of you at racing? have you figured out what cars are easier to drift in ?

Not gonna lie, the headline made me want to get in on this.. except for I got R2 in the mail yesterday and I'll be popping that in for the first time for CAG night.
 
When I do racing it is usually gta racing on bikes with pistols 80% of the time.
If I am racing in a car I like using just uzi's, and no grenades. Not sure which cars I like the best but I do like the police patriot.

You too, huh? How long have you had the game for? I've had it since it came out.....in AUGUST!!!

I just couldn't get by the damn mission at the church for the PLAV, so I said fuck it and I just stopped playing for a month.

I really need to stop buying and asking for games for presents, since I keep getting a bigger backlog and this is what killed me last gen. I had a huge backlog of games I'd never played and almost no time to play ALL of them.
 
[quote name='bornrunnin31']fyi i'll be there probably a half hour late tonight[/quote]

Sounds like somebody stayed up too late??

The camera's this way, xxx!
 
It's true, we did snipers only and it was awesome. I never mess with some of the options so that leader blip thing was a nice discovery. I could see that becoming a regular thing.

For the record, thrown weapons are fantastic!

And about that floating dead guy...

xxx, the camera's this way!
 
[quote name='bmachine']Ha! That came out awesome! I'm gonna send it to my parents. ;)[/quote]

If only we had the foresight to take a GTA Christmas photo. #-o

[quote name='dallow']Cool pic guys! How did you make that?

Hmm, I just rebought GTAIV. Time to start playing again.[/quote]

Just a digital camera shot with some text added in Photoshop. The special friend is some dead guy we met along the way. :lol: Maybe you can meet him at next week's game.
 
Hahaha that's awesome metaly. And the way that Rockstar skinned those guys, some of them have kinda Christmas-y sweaters on, so you can just add some wreaths and lights and bam! Christmas card. :)

I agree, that sniper only match was great fun.
 
Here's the deal. I have the 360 version of GTAIV, my brother has the PS3 version. I so very nicely borrowed his copy, so I guess I'll have a chance to play a little bit of it.

I just got it through Goozex, I loved the first one, and the second one is more of the same.
I just finished that church mission a couple nights ago. I get too distracted by going after HVTs and the targets submissions. If you can't get past the church mission still hit me up with an invite if I'm on, we can hit it up coop, cajun style!

I actually got past it, after initially thinking I'd get past it via a glitch. The church was still destroyed from a prior time trying the mission and I tried hiding out in the ruins of it to avoid the gunfire/shells of the tank onslaught.

The one tank kept hitting me with shells and gunfire, even from in the ruins of the church and they ended up killing me right as the trace was complete.

Then I got stuck on the island assault mission on the fort.
 
[quote name='Dasflikko']Man, we need more than one GTA night. I've missed 3 in a row due to various reasons and I am suffering from withdrawals.[/quote]

I used to like the Sunday night GTA night(namely because we started earlier, since unless I have insomnia staying up past 10 pm is a bitch), but I forget which game took over that spot. I have to ask though, is there a thread for Mercenaries 2 co-op play? Although, I don't think that missions you complete in co-op count towards your percentage in the normal game, right?

I know I could've definitely used some help on some missions in Mercs 2, since some of them have been a major league royal pain in the ass to clear.

As it stands now, I have the last two factions I think you can work for for the second part of the game unlocked now, but one of them is already REALLY pissed at me(China).

I actually tried taking over a helicopter a couple of times the other night and after repeated falls from a great height and innumerable deaths, I FINALLY skyjacked one.

I really wish they would hurry up with the sequel to the game that I know of that originated that idea(Just Cause), since I'm dying to see how huge of a game world the sequel is going to have because the original game had a world that was 3-5x the size of all of San Andreas.
 
Man... that pic is sweet. Too bad I had to miss last nights game, I was looking forward to getting in on some CAG GTAIV action again.
 
[quote name='bmachine']LOL...the thread title should say "Meet New Friends - Shoot 'Em in the Face". ;)[/quote]

This started out as a pretty promising list of the $$$ requirements for multiplayer ranks and the clothing parts you get for each one, but then I scrolled down and it's really incomplete. Either that or you get nothing for the higher ranks, which is even lamer. Also $5 million for rank 10! Being generous and saying you can earn about $4000 in 15 minutes doing one of the more profitable co-op missions, that's over 300 hours of continuous GTA.

I'd be up for another GTA night if someone else hosts. Being on the hook for both Wednesday and Sunday was tough on my schedule.

Also I've been playing the single player a ton at nights lately, so if you're on and have a good group together (with headsets), send me an invite.

LOL
Yeah... Freaky and I were doing one on one dm taking turns killing each other (I'd kill for a half hour, then freaky would kill for a half hour) ... I think we'd do about $10k per half hour or so, it's been a while though, so the amount/time could be different. Getting to rank 10 will take quite a bit.:cry:
 
If you want to continue doing that mguiddy (or even you metaly!), just message me on PSN... I still intend on platinum'ing that game at some point. ;)

I think I need almost $150,000 to get up to the half million mark in multiplayer. I don't even have ANY friggin' idea what rank I am, except to say that it's probably LOW.
 
you can check you rank by looking at that star when youre changing clothes on your in game character. im only level 5 and ive given up on leveling and now just play for fun since each progressive level takes way too much money

I dunno about the 30-minute DM boosting, but I would like to try for Auf Wiedersehn, Petrovich. I was thinking we could do one round as a normal, competetive race to keep it interesting and then do a second round where the previous winner just sits at the start. :)

Realistically I don't think I'll ever get to level 10, but I'll see how much cash I have after finishing everything else and think about it then.
 
I'd be up for trying AWP, but freaky and I tried to do some DM boosting (I timed it and it took ~15 minutes for one of us to hit $10k, so we could do $20k an hour each doing that), however... it wouldn't save our money.

Does anyone know what's up with ranked/unranked on the PS3? I did some searching and it seems on the 360 it's clearly marked in the multiplayer menu on the phone, but the PS3 doesn't have that. Then I read some people say if there's friend slots it isn't ranked and other people say all PS3 is ranked.

Also, It's odd that when I play during CAG nights, my rank is usually always 4 (and it seems to saves any progress) any other time I play my rank is 2 and never saves progress.

I read that if you really want to just boost money, it's good to have a small TDM because I guess you get the whole team's cash. Is that even true?

Also I don't think there's a distinction between ranked and unranked games on the PS3, since I never play online outside of CAG nights and my money keeps going up. I actually got bumped up to 5 for no reason on Wednesday, but now I'm back down to 3. :cry: Who knows what's up with Rockstar's stat tracking.
 
I never tried ranking up with more than just one person... but I don't think anything would be faster than $20k an hour. Though I did read about people doing the NOOSE coop to level up fast... I don't remember the reward for finishing, but I guess it could be pretty fast if you used the chopper and got it down pat. May even be better than one on one DM.

I also noticed I have multiple "DD83"s on the Network Stats... Rockstar really disappoints in Multiplayer... after the wonky stats in GTAIV and the "20 person friend list" in MCLA...

I think tomorrow I'm going to try playing some random games and see if it increases my money on the Social Club site.
 
To get money, I usually do Hangman's Noose on hard. Basically, you get $4500 each time. And I usually complete it within 5 min. Also, everyone on the team gets $4500.

Only problem is that Petrovic's AI can be stupid at times and it's hard to get him inside a vehicle. But once you get him on the helicopters on the other end of the airport, it's smooth sailing.
 
hangmans noose is the best way to do it but it sucks having to depend on other people to get the guy to the safespot. it gets kinda boring after a while too man if they could just come up with a beter game to make more money or at least maybe a way to gamble the mney you have against someone elses in a contest.
