Social Club PlayStation Network Multiplayer Event Feb 5 Recap (Grand Theft Auto IV for PS3)
Social Club Xbox LIVE Multiplayer Event Jan 21 Recap – GTAIV PlayStation 3 Event Coming this Friday

(We floored it for three plus hours in last week's Midnight Club LA Xbox LIVE event...)

Lead-footed competitors from all around the world jumped on to Xbox LIVE last Friday night to unite with us on the streets of Los Angeles - showing off their flashy customized rides and racing for glory in our first Midnight Club Los Angeles event in the official Rockstar Social Club Multiplayer Events Series.  Altogether, we raced with hundreds of players around pretty much every square inch of the city for more than three hours on Xbox LIVE.  Winners were crowned.  Losers were jeered.  And lots of nitrous was in the air...

Read on for a recap (along with screens) of some of the most heated moments...

Entering into Cruise mode a bit before 4:00 Eastern were our own GwRockstar3, GwRockstar4, GwRockstar5 and GwRockstar6.  With the gauntlet thrown down, we lined up in the Landmark Race at Watts Face Off.  Redeye00785 fired off the starting line with xXBROTHERHOODXx following right behind.  ThirteenAG and Xxb0nebrakerxX were breathing down their necks in 3rd and 4th places respectively, looking for the slightest mistake by the race leaders that would allow them to gain ground.  After a few turns and an unscheduled meeting or two with a concrete median, three of them fell behind, giving Xxb0nebrakerxX a come-from-behind 1st place victory.

With a new Around Hollywood race, came a new set of takers.  On 'GO', racers split up, splitting up to take different routes only five seconds in.  Redeye00785 took an alley to the right, quickly taking the lead.  The street racer never looked back - finishing in front of the second place ThirteenAG by a whopping 11 seconds... a virtual eternity in racing...

(Redeye00785 takes the alley to the right at the beginning, a wise decision that eventually helped earn a win...)

Moving on, a challenge was issued by Xxb0nebrakerxX to enter the Ordered Race known as River Valley.  It began with previous champ redeye00785 taking the lead once again in front of Gamerzworld, Mudbutt1583, GwRockstar3, ThirteenAG and MADDMATT1234567.  But another contender that started near dead last would be the victorious one in this race.  URCboom sped past everyone out of nowhere, taking 1st place and the win, leaving four seconds to spare...

GwRockstar3 then challenged everyone to an Ordered Race in the Laurel Canyon Run.  GwRockstar3 took a quick lead, but that blasted redeye00785 used a little NOS and boosted ahead.  It looked as if the lead might have lasted, cruising impeccably for more than a minute.  But SxeY x ShAdOwZz had plans of his own, zooming in and crossing the finish line ahead of URCboom by a narrow two seconds.

(Eventual champion SxeY x ShAdOwZz gains ground on MADDMATT1234567, narrowly missing the explosive gasoline pumps...)

Going into Full City Keep Away, Gamerzworld managed to pick up the flag for only two seconds before Stinkwiser stole it away, taking the lead. From there, the flag was constantly changing hands between those two and ThirteenAG, scooby66612 and G UNIT 091.  In the end, a dark horse, marty00 eventually claimed the top prize - holding the flag for a total of 112 seconds.

(Gamerzworld flees with the flag at the beginning of a match of Full City Keep Away.)

ThirteenAG next offered up a match of Keep Away in South Central.  Redeye00785 was the first to grab the flag, but was only able to hold it for four seconds before our GwRockstar3 snatched it away, evasively turning down another street.  48 seconds later, SxeY x ShAdOwZz snagged it, taking off up an alley way.  The flag then traded racers every few seconds until redeye00785 was able to maintain and accrue possession time long enough to win first place.

(SxeY x ShAdOwZz uses a 'Stop' power-up on GwRockstar3, before cruising up the alley with the flag...)

Next up was a meet on Fairfax and Sunset.  The Ordered Race began with Gamerzworld and dimitricoley fighting neck-and-neck for the lead.  Little did they know that the victor of this race would be the one following right in their rear-views: URCboom.  While Gamerzworld and URCboom did stay in contention, it soon became clear that this was URCboom's moment as he crossed the finish line ahead of Gamerzworld by eight full seconds.

For a grand finale – we got into an insane Basewar Capture The Flag session in Sepulveda Showdown.  On the blue team: URCboom, XX m crazy XX, Marnit, UNT SENTENCIA, STINKWISER, topham1, TheoNB and Markko2009.  On the red team (how LA!): G UNIT 091, Lolz w00t, WizenSage, GwRockstar3, CAR 3 KING, AHzacxemzy, and SxeY x ShAdOwZz.  During the ten minute round, AHzacxemzy and WizensAGE saved the red flag, allowing SxeY x ShAdOwZz to deliver it for two points.  This gave the red team a 6-0 lead.  The lead later increased to a 9-0 blowout with the blue team trailing far behind.  URCboom delivered the first two points for the blue team making it 9-2, but it wasn't enough as SxeY x ShAdOwZz delivered the final blow, giving the red team two more points for an easy 11-3 barn burner.

(Players in a complete frenzy to deliver the flag for points in Basewar Capture The Flag...)

Get Ready for More The Ballad of Gay Tony Multiplayer Carnage with Your Friends from Rockstar

In the immortal words of The Staple Singers, let’s do it again.

We’re ready to take you all on once again in some Party Mode rounds of The Ballad of Gay Tony multiplayer on Xbox LIVE this Thursday, January 21st from 4:00 to 7:00 PM Eastern Time – our first such event for the new year.  Hope you’ve all been brushing up…

If you haven’t had a chance to take part in one of our Social Club multiplayer events yet, you can check out a recap of the last one here to see how it goes down.  As always, those who can’t (or are afraid to!) jump on to Xbox LIVE to compete can watch the streaming action as it happens and join in on our official live chat.

Hit the jump for all the event details…

(hugorl’s masterful Buzzard airmanship left GwRockstar3 feeling the heat.)

Big thanks to everyone who turned up for our most recent Social Club Multiplayer Event on Xbox LIVE featuring The Ballad of Gay Tony on December 17th.  We were glad to see a few familiar faces in Mr Floppay, DAEDALUS17, IITONYSOPRANOII, as well as all our noobs.  Good times.  Good, bloody times.  

At the start of the night, we warmed up with several games of Team Deathmatch before turning auto-aim off to see who had the steadiest sharpshooter skills.  As soon as we saw that we were matched up against GANTZmastah and WTB2PI3C3, both highly ranked multiplayer veterans, we knew we were in for trouble (based on a max leaderboard skill ranking of 10, GANTZmastah and WTB2PI3C3 are ranked 10 and 9 respectively).  This was one of the few times Rockstar got outmatched (props to you, good sirs).  Full of determination but with a slightly deflated ego, GwRockstar5 proclaimed over the mic that he would "put my sandwich down for the next game".  The score gap narrowed in each successive match as the Rockstar team got their bearings versus the ringers.

As the night progressed, the Rockstar teams split and rounded up three different parties to go head-to-head in one gigantic Team Deathmatch.  Unsatisfied with his performance on the trigger, GwRockstar3 disgustedly shed his firearms and whipped out the knife.  His newfound success with the blade (three kills in a row) left many verbally in awe of his swashbuckling skills.  Several others followed suit and the match quickly degenerated into an all-out knife fight – Sharks versus Jets status.  Towards the end of the round, a dicey game of cat-and-mouse broke out between the knifers and the Explosive Shotgun wielders (shotgunners being the hunted). 

Bowing to popular demand from our spectators in the Social Club Chatterbox, we switched the game mode to GTA Races with Sports Bikes as the starting vehicles.  In the middle of the second lap, poor Brooksr lost his ride and began to make his way on foot.  GwRockstar3 slowly stalked him and, to everyone’s surprise, proceeded to mercifully drive right past him. The Chatterboxers had eagerly anticipated a flat-out steamrolling but were left scratching their heads.  The camera shifted to the rearview and everyone was treated to a huge explosion that turned Brooksr into a crater.  Well placed and well played Sticky Bomb, GwRockstar3.  Ha.

We ended the night with a final session of Free Mode for all-out mayhem.  Most of our time was spent evading hugorl, who clearly had a vendetta against GwRockstar3.  Let’s just say that hugorl is a virtuoso of a Buzzard pilot (see screencaps).  The chopper's minigun fire was literally inches away from GwRockstar3's neck the entire time.  Hugorl finally closed the deal by smacking GwRockstar3 with helicopter blades as he bailed out of a burning car. GwRockstar3's body flying across Star Junction and over a rooftop billboard was a dramatic end to a wild night.

For anyone looking for a rematch, or if you’ve missed out on our sessions so far and want to join the action – we'll be kicking off our next event in the upcoming weeks.  Stay tuned here for an announcement and details.  

By the by, a quick shout to just some of the fine players we met that night.  Great playing with you all: 

(GwRockstar3 feigns mercy towards an on-foot Brooksr, only to flatten him seconds later with a Sticky Bomb explosion dropped in his wake.)

(GwRockstar3 incurs a bit of collateral damage after igniting a few explosive barrels with a shot.)

(GwRockstar3 and GwRockstar5 in a Rockstar vs Rockstar family feud knife-fight showdown.)

(This was the first and last civil picture of all the participants in our first GTA Race – before all out mayhem ensued.)

Join us once again this week on Thursday December 17th from 4:00 to 7:00 PM Eastern Time - for a bit more fun and bloodshed with your friends at Rockstar Games, as we'll be back online playing The Ballad of Gay Tony multiplayer on Xbox LIVE.

In-game Party Mode worked swimmingly last time as a good way for us all to get together and jump into games, so look for us again this Thursday by using the in-game cellphone and selecting Party Mode > Ranked > Team Deathmatch (note that this is the in-game Party Mode, not the Xbox LIVE Party Mode).

SPECTATE AND CHAT
Can't get on Xbox LIVE at the given time? No worries.  Join us at the Social Club Multiplayer Event page for a live streaming broadcast of the entire event.  We'll have the chatbox up and running the day of the event for those of you who need a doubles partner or just want to come and yap away...

HOW TO FIND US
Grab a multiplayer partner and start up Ranked Team Deathmatch via Party Mode using the in-game cellphone.  We're playing doubles again so make sure your team size is two.  By starting up Team Deathmatch from Party Mode, you will be automatically placed in special lobbies together with us and other event participants.  More info on using Party Mode is listed below.

NEED A PARTNER?
Hit up the chatbox during the event or just post your Gamertag in the Comments section below.  Someone will pick ya up. 

OFFICIAL ROCKSTAR GAMERTAGS

• GwRockstar3

ABOUT PARTY MODE
Party Mode is an easy way to get your group together and find matches.  Here are the 3 quick and easy steps to get you up and running:

1. To get started, fire up the in-game mobile phone by pressing "Up" on the D-pad.  Select Multiplayer > Party Mode.
2. From here, open up your phone again and select the Friends option to invite your friends (you need at least one more friend to play with Rockstar). 
3. Once your team is ready to roll, open up the in-game phone again and select Ranked > Team Deathmatch for this event.
