I was playing online last night for the first time with no problems, but today I can't get it to connect to the game provider. My other online game, Resistance, works fine, as do the other online features. Is it just due to extreme load?

The servers are down atm.

OK thanks. Just as long as it isn't a problem with my PS3 I'm fine lol!

I keep getting killed. Easily. I'll be standing there with an assault rifle putting whole clips into people and they'll barely lose a sliver of health. Then, they'll shoot me with a pistol and I'll die, regardless of full health/body armor.
I had a whole match like that the other day and it really pissed me off.

I think that the pistol is a better weapon in many cases, actually. I've managed to survive hails of machine-gun fire just by running around in circles like a headless chicken, and then taking a few well-placed headshots with the pistol.

So to that effect, if I'm running around, and the guy down the street has the same assault rifle, then I should be fine?
Yet he can take me down, full body armor, in 3 shots? From down the street? With an assault rifle?
I'm pretty sure that entire match was glitched to hell. I shot somebody with a rocket launcher and they didn't die until after they'd killed me.

I actually seem to notice that sometimes I'll be raining bullets at some one and it seems I get hit one or two shots worth and I'm dead. I never could quite figure that out, although I think it's something about the game mechanic that says if you keep firing the barrel of the gun gets hot and your aim will go off?

yeah im pretty sure recoil has some effect on this GTA..
spraying and praying doesnt work, so the pistol works better....but i still didnt spray and i died when i had an AK vs Pistol....

There is a degree of luck in the firing, I've found. Sometimes I've auto-aimed from miles off with a really inaccurate gun, yet been lucky enough to score a head-shot with a stray bullet. Other times you're lucky if half of your bullets hit. It does provide an extra bit of realism in that you won't always fire in a straight and defined manner.

I've found that cover is immensely useful. I was able to take down a guy earlier who was owning everybody with his AK, just by taking cover behind a pillar and taking a few shots with the pistol.

man ok i recently just set up my online network and it works fine with COD 4, it works smooth but then i try GTA 4 and it says "lost connection to one or two players returning to single player" every damn time, i havent had a full online game with having that pop up or sometimes i dont even start the game it rigth away pops up. i read here that people are having this problem too, but has this been confirmed that its a server error because i dont want to think that it has something to do with my PS3 or the wireless network i have up. It works fine with COD 4. Man it better not be like that with MGO because that is the reason why i got online!! lol help!!!
