'''Team Deathmatch''' is a [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]] game in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] consisting of two to sixteen players grouped up in teams.


Like [[Deathmatch]], the goal is to kill other players, but now players are in teams. Players can also pick up money from deceased players. The team with the most money at the end of the match wins. There must be at least 3 players in the match ON at least 2 SEPERATE TEAMS, and no more than 16 total players on 8 teams.

* Try to play with your friends. Just because you see a team of rank 9 and 10 players doesn't give you a reason to get on their team. If you do see such a team, get on the the other team. They are probably just friends.

* DO NOT use helicopters (unless you're in a open area like the airport), or any other vehicle for that matter ''recklessly''. Not even the best helicopter pilots can kill some players if they enclose themselves. A novice player can easily pluck a pilot out of the sky. Also, the time wasted going to grab a chopper can and should be used to kill enemies. Riding 4 members in a [[Cavalcade]] may seem cool, until the driver dies and the other 3 are getting picked off one by one. However, during Auto Aim: Disallow matches, using cars is a great advantage over walking because you have the same amount of firepower, but more mobility.

* Pick money up off the ground. I know this might be common sense, but I personally picked up probably about 250 grand off the ground alone on TLAD Team Deathmatch. (If you ever have a chance, look up L2K MoFoZy on Xbox.com or Xbox Live!). The higher the person is in the rank, the more money they drop. A rank 0 might drop anywhere form ''8-10 dollars'', but a rank 10 can drop upwards of ''25 dollars''. The general rule for money dropped is the more money the person has in their online bank account, the more money they will drop.

* If you notice your team is spawn trapped in a enclosed location, such as the pier on [[Happiness Island]] or the cemetery on [[Colony Island]], try to fight out of it. Do NOT swim for it, don't hide, fight for your life. Also, it gives you a pretty good opportunity to pick up money dropped by your dead comrades.

* A good place to get many kills, is to set the location to [[Bohan]], (make sure you are stocked full of health, body armor, a assault rifle, a sniper rifle and a rocket launcher). To get many kills, go to the district of [[Little Bay]], next to the under construction bridge with to USJ's on. You can find a crane with a long ladder to the top. Once at the top, try to get your team to lure, the opposing team, to your location. By this you can get many kills, and the other players will be stunned, and will not know where you are, giving you a excellent opportunity to kill them.

* Make sure your settings are set to '''Cops: OFF''', '''Friendly Fire: OFF''', and '''Auto Aim: ON''', unless you like cops attacking you, your teammates killing you, or barely noticing where you can shoot. Many people claim that Auto Aim is nooby and they don't have it on Call of Duty or other games, but that is because those games have 1st persons perspective and gun sights, neither fo which GTA 4 has.

* Do not annoy people in lobbies with such activities as jumping teams, yelling into the mic, using hateful and foul language, etc. You can very easily get kicked and will probably end up in an empty lobby.

* If you are stuck on a crappy team, deal with it. There is nothing you can do as soon as the game starts.

**Weak weapons, biker weapons, pistols, and shotguns force you to get close to your enemies ALWAYS, making them poor choices for a game. Grenade Launchers are quite difficult to get kills with, so extended games with only grenade launchers(longer than 10 minutes) are too long. Projectiles can't get very many kills either. However, powerful, Asssault Rifles, and SMG's allow people to remain a relative distance away and allow for kills. Medium weapons games aren't bad, but aren't good either. Most players also despise Sniper games because they don' have the patience to snipe.

* Trespass- This is the Sprunk factory. With such high roofs and several floors, there is tons of space to hide. If in a game set at this location, get onto the roof or catwalk, as it will allow you to cover the main yard easily with an M249 and rack up kills.

**Auld Reekie- This is set around the warehouse on Colony Island. Try to avoid being caught in the middle, and stay out of the warehouse.

**Ziggurat- This is set at the construction site near Helitours. It is the largest map on the game and an Advanced MG is very good on this map.
 
**Xero In- This is set in the warehouse where [[Bulgarin]] held the kidnapped [[Roman]]. There are about 4 floors and it is useful to have an SMG during this conflict.

**Academically Challenged- This map is set on an area that can be presumed as a school, but is not really known. This map is perfect for small games. The size of the map is great for an M249.
 
**Global Domination- This map is set at the [[Civilization Committee]] building, and is one of the larger maps. A sniper is very useful on this map, as is the P90.

**Battle Station- This is set at a train station in the middle of [[Broker]]/[[Dukes]], and is an okay map. A P90 or Mini-Uzi is very good for this.

**[[Pistol .44]]- Despite the slow rate of fire, small magazine capacity, and long reload, the extreme power and great range makes this an acceptable weapon.

**[[Gold SMG]]- While this is essentially the same as the [[Micro Uzi]] from regular GTA 4 and TLAD, this one has an incredibly high rate of fire that is perfect for combat or drive by shootings and also has a 30 round magazine rather than a 50 round magazine.

**[[Assault SMG]]- This is not a bad gun, but it can not be used during drive bys and is similar in range to the Gold SMG and with a slower rate of fire. On foot, however, this is better than the Gold SMG.

**[[Advanced MG]]- This is certainly the best gun in the game. The rate of fire, power, accuracy, and magazine capacity of this weapon can turn 1 player into a moving turret.

**[[Sticky Bombs]]- These are an oddity, as these are useful as in they can stick to objects and detonate remotely, rather than on a fuse, but have the same explosive force as grenads or pipe bombs. They can be used for trickery, as in placing sticky bombs on a vehicle, giving it to an enemy, and as soon as they get in, blow it up.

**[[Explosive Shotgun]]- While the shotgun is not actually fully automatic, the explosive shotgun is a whopper. It will destroy cars, people, helicopters, or pretty much anything that can attack you. The buckshot shotgun is okay, but only at close quarters.

**[[Advanced Sniper]]- This is the best sniper rifle in the history of snipers. It can have explosive rounds, making helicopters that much easier to bring down. This also obliterates people, shreds cars, and makes mincemeat of people riding bikes.
