Just looking at my friends list, I'd say yes. Maybe not in the long run, but definitely this month.

I wouldn't say it's as addictive as COD, but it's fun. I can't wait to try out the co-op modes.

If I could jump into games, I'd appreciate it. Also, the camera just and still sucks. However, most of the modes are really fun. And starting out on-foot before car races was a good idea and makes for hilarious moments. It definitely isn't as addictive as Call of Duty 4, but Grand Theft Auto 4's multiplayer is definitely worth playing - a lot.

It really depends. GTA IV's Deathmatch modes aren't worth playing (atleast, not to me). The other modes (especially the one that is basically cops and robbers) are excellent though.

Will GTA:IV pull me away from COD4? Yes, but for the single player, and not for the multiplayer.


More than anything..I'm hoping rockstar puts parachutes back in with a patch. I want to base jump off a skyscraper dammit!

Actually the xbox live stats they put out are not based on multiplayer only. If you are connected to live while in single player OR multiplayer it counts towards that game.

FYI how do you think the oblivion (single player only) game got the number 10 spot on live this past week?

Probably for 1 or 2 weeks, but I don't think it (online mode) will have the lasting appeal as COD4 or Halo3.

IIRC, it doesn't matter if the game has multiplayer or not. I remember Oblivion up there for a while. All you have to do is have enough different people play while their profile is connected to Live!

I sure as hell haven't been playing COD the last two days.
The real question is will people who bought an Xbox to play GTA IV renew their LIVE membership after the first month.
The problem with GTA IV's multi player is that you need to have a good friends list to have the most fun.

Can't wait to get off work!

It doesn't SUCK, it just doesn't live up to the hype(and there was a freaking LOT of hype).

Short term yes, long term? Not unless rockstar patches the problems and sorts a few things.

Lot of problems, getting more and more retards driving around tracks backwards in Race modes cause they suck to much to win.

It's fun, but far too hampered by problems at the moment. I don't have enough patience.

By 1337pwn.com's numbers, GTA IV has made an impressive ascent to 3rd place, but when you look at the overall popularity index (scale of 1000), it's got a long way to go to the top.

Call of Duty 4 (1000)
Halo 3 (832.4921366396)
GTA IV (509.18001609246)

For GTA IV to take the top spot, people need to stop playing COD4. Given that parents are more likely to let their kids play COD4 than GTA, it may take a while.

I've barely touched the online multiplayer portion of the game, although what I did try was pretty fun.

I can see it kicking ass for a while.
