| first details on the online multiplayer mode of Grand Theft Auto IV. The publication has revealed that there will be 15 multiplayer game types in GTA IV, ranging from co-op to deathmatch. I just translated some of the facts mentioned in the article:
- Death Match will feature rocket launchers.
- The host of the match sets the rules for each game type. In “Race” and “GTA Race,” the host chooses the vehicles and number of laps. In “Deathmatch” and “Team Death Match,” the host chooses the weapons, the number of pedestrians, the amount of traffic, even if the police will sneak in or not.
- You can customize your character in multiplayer, from sex and race to hair and clothes.
- PlayStation Revista Oficial played a death match game where all players had rocket launchers and half the city was blown away.
- In “Mafiya Work” and “Team Mafiya Work,” each player becomes a Kenny Petrovic's assassin that competes against the other users. The goal is to complete Petrovic's orders (issued via a mobile phone) before the other players.
- In “Race” and “GTA Race,” you can use fire weapons to neutralize your rivals and steal a car in case yours gets busted.
- In “Cops N Crooks,” you’ll be able to play cops and robbers, but in a wild way. One team plays as criminals on the run while the other team plays as the cops, whose mission is to kill the head of the criminal band. To make things even more interesting, cops can see the location of the criminals on their GPS, so criminals never know where or when police will sneak in. Of all the game types played by PlayStation Revista Oficial, “Cops N Crooks” was the most entertaining one.
- In “Hangman’s NOOSE,” you’ll play co-op and this game type is similar to the VIP escort game mode found in Counter-Strike.
- The game modes are:
- Deathmatch
- Team Deathmatch
- Hangman's NOOSE
- Mafiya Work
- Team Mafiya Work
- Cops N Crooks
- Race
- GTA Race
- Car Jack City
- Bomb da Base
- Bomb da Base II
- Turf War
- Deal Breaker
- Free Mode
- ????

| Just checked my pre-order with Amazon and my copy isn't going to be delivered until 7th May Anyone know of anywhere still taking pre-orders with delivery on launch? I am worried that I will have to go into a supermarket (or some other dreadfull place) and rub shoulders with the great unwashed to get my copy on the 28th

I am worried that I will have to go into a supermarket (or some other dreadfull place) and rub shoulders with the great unwashed to get my copy on the 28th  Release date is not until the 29th I got mine ordered from woolworths , i ordered the special edition and it is £10 cheaper on there site and checked order status today and it says that it is ready for despatch which means This item has billed successfully and is ready for despatch within the next 24 - 48 hours (usually the same working day as the item is billed). So hopfully i should get it on or before tuesday

| Zavvi is/was Virgin/Virgin Megastore. I've ordered from them before and received it on release date (dvd) although I think they ship from the Channel Islands like a lot of other sites so you need to get your order in early enough so they can dispatch in time, which should be ok if you did it today, but I take no responsibility for late deliveries .

| I pre-ordered mine quite late from shopto.net and they emailed a couple of days ago to say that they had received a decent allocation and could guarantee all pre orders before last Sat 19th which is good as I didn't think to pre order early and only did it on Friday. At least I think it was Friday. The email also said that they were under strict instructions not to send any out before Monday so doubt there will be many lucky people with early copies but who knows

| steamRobot (24/04/2008) i ordered mine on amazon last month and it says estimated delivery is the 6th of May! hope its a mistake.Don't hold your breath I was really getting caught up in the whole "I want GTA on launch day, no matter what the cost", I even flirted with the idea of getting the PS3 bundle including GTA, which is still in stock (no suprise). Luckily when I suggested it, my wife kicked me in the nuts, which soon brought me to my senses
