Team Deathmatch: Difference between revisions

The objective is to make the most money by the end of the match by killing rival team members. Each kill grants you [[Money|$]]100, and each player will drop about $15-$25, depedending upon their rank, after they are killed. You do not lose money if killed by an enemy player, but you will lose money if you kill a teammate or are killed by outside forces ([[police]], falls, drowning, etc.). Each match will either have a time limit or a money limit. Every other team besides your own is an enemy, so all other teams are open season. Unlike most games, there are NO KILL ASSISTS. If you get a kill taken away from you, try and pick up the money dropped.

Each player can choose their team in the pre-game lobby.

*Killing a teamate during a Friendly Fire:ON game

*Dying by: Extreme falls, Helicoptor crashes. Sometimes being just outside the raduis of an explosion can send you flying and then dying.

The [[money]] reward at the end of the match depends on the amount of money each player's teams has obtained altogether. Although individual player's money will grow, at the end, each teammates' money will be added together as a unit to determine the winning team.

* Of course the opposite team will be at the other end of the map, this gives your team the chance to collect some armour and decent weapons, dont always stick with the same gun, range you gun choice.

* Help your teammates. If you see a teammate cornered by a enemy player(s), dive in there to kill the enemy player. At the very least, you can give your cornered teammate a chance to get the kill or escape.

* Aim for the head and fire quick, one shot taps. 2 headshots will kill players instantly, with the exception of armor or using certain weapons.. Firing fully automatic just results in missed shots, and firing 1 shot very slowly results in being killed.

* 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.

* 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 IV 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.

**Weapons: Powerful (includes [[Rocket Launcher]]/[[Grenade Launcher]], [[AR-15|M4s]], [[MP5]]'s, the Advanced [[Sniper Rifle|Sniper]], and the best [[Shotgun]]s available)

**Docks ([[Port Tudor]]/[[Normandy]])- Not a bad location

**Explosives- Includes the Sticky Bombs, Explsive Shotgun, a modified [[Grenade Launcher]], and the Advanced Sniper, only available on BOGT

**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.

* On Ballad of Gay Tony, all locations are set up in small areas, such as the [[Libertonian Museum]] or the construction site. No longer are entire island the host of Team Deathmatches. Also, spawns are random, respawn invincibility has been removed, people respawn with full health AND FULL ARMOR, and no gun remains that can have the trigger tapped on multiplayer.

**'''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.

**[[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.

*The weather and time of day don't matter. Only start a game with 2 teams. 3 teams makes it more difficult to play. NEVER allow 1 man teams. They rack up kills and annoy everyone.

* In a friendly fire game, do not kill your teammates. You lose 100 dollars, your team loses 100 dollars, nobody wins.

* Try to avoid clans. Clans such as DBA, GMS, FSU, and the millions of other GTA IV clans almost always have turbos, lag switches, use corners, have mods, etc. It is not fun to play witht hem as they almost always cheat.
