Team Deathmatch

Revision as of 07:39, 21 December 2009 by Chimpso (talk | contribs) (Same as other summarys.)

Team Deathmatch is a 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 SEPERATE TEAMS, and no more than 16 total players or 8 teams.

Objectives

The objective make the most money by the end of the match by killing rival team members. Each kill grants you $100, and each player will drop about 15-25 dollars 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.

Variables

The host can change a number of factors including:

  • A Time limit or a Money limit
  • Auto Aim allowed or disallowed
  • The area the players will play in (It can be the whole city, single islands, or different little areas like the airport or the docks)
  • The type of weapons available to players
  • The weather and time of day
  • Whether the map will show blips of all players, far players, near player, or no blips at all
  • The respawn time and the amount of distance from other players when the player spawns

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

Ways to Earn Money

  • Getting kils on enemy players
  • Picking up money off deceased players, both freind and foe

Ways to Lose Money

  • Killing a teamate during a Friendly Fire:ON game
  • Killed by any of the following

Reward

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.

Tips

  • By fighting as a unit, you get more kills. No one likes a Lone Wolf, especially if it's a lone wolf VERSUS a team of 5.
  • 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 even 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.
  • Learn to shoot faster by practicing Team Deathmatch regularly. Do not mix GTA 4 in with Call of Duty, Fallout, Halo, or any other game. It will mess up your trigger finger.
  • Always go for the best gun available. Usually, this is the M4 Rifle or M249 . Unless you know you have the patience to snipe, do not snipe.
  • Stick with the group. If your team is on a different island, you may change their respawning point to miles away from their previous respawn point.
  • 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.
  • 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 oL2Ko 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Do not annoy people in lobbies with such activities as jumping teams, yelling into the mic, using hateful and foul language, etc.
  • If you are stuck on a crappy team, deal with it. There is nothing you can do as soon as the game starts.
  • If you are the host and don't know what to do, here is an acceptable game setup. It will work on TLAD, or regular GTA 4:
  • This is the preferred setup for Team Deathmatch on BOGT.
    • Location- Trespass
    • Weapons- Automatic
    • Respawn Points: Near
    • Respawn Time: 1 second
    • Blips: All
    • Time: Depends on the number of people in the lobby. Try 20 minutes or so, usually.
    • 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.

For more help, see the Weapons in GTA IV page, the Weapons in The Lost and Damned page, and the Weapons in The Ballad of Gay Tony page.

  • 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.
  • Here is a review of the locations for Team Deathmatch on BOGT.
  • 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 Civilation Commitee building, and is one of the larger maps. A sniper is very useful on this map, as is the P90.
  • Below is a review on the weapons added for BOGT:
    • .44 Magnum Pistol- Despite the slow rate of fire, small clip 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 clip rather than a 50 round clip.
    • 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 clip 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.
    • Automatic 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.


  • 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.
  • Take this game a little more seriously than free mode. On free mode, hitting fellow players with cars is fine, but don't do that on TDM. It usually makes them leave the game.
  • In a friendly fire game, do not kill your teammates. You lose 100 dollars, your team loses 100 dollars, nobody wins.
  • If you end up in a lobby and it says auto aim is off or police is on, leave immediately. Police shoot at you and very often kill you, making you lose 100 dollars. Auto Aim off makes it difficult to use almost any gun, outside of assault rifles, snipers, and grenade launchers/RPGs.
  • Jumping on your own team will not only get you kicked, but if you can actually get into a game, your kill/death ratio will be very poor.
  • If in a SERIOUS pinch, run inside a building such as Perseus in Algonquin, the Modo, or basically any other building where you are able to watch the entrance with ease.
  • Get the M4 at ALL costs. The M4 Assault Rifle is the best weapon to have with its unique and perfect combination of clip capacity (with 30 round clip, enough for 15 kills per clip with perfect aim), power (2 headshots kill anybody without armor), range (most range on a non-sniper weapon in the game), and accuracy (resets to point aimed at almost immediately). This weapon can turn an early deficit into a comeback and even a blowout against stronger, better armed, or teams with more people. On BOGT, with the removal of the M4, try to get the M249, as it also has incredible power, great range, and a whopping 200 round clip capacity, only with a long reload time and less accuracy.
  • If you notice that an enemy player is in a glitch and cannot be killed, stay away from that player. Also, if a skilled sniper is watching an area, try to avoid that area.
