GRAND THEFT AUTO ONLINE
While GTA Online is a massively multiplayer online game, you actually only play with 15 other people at any given time. It features pretty much the same open world as the single-player version, and you’re free to roam wherever you want. However, specific missions and activities are instanced – ie, you get put into an area where only you and whichever other players you’ve grouped up with directly can see each other.
While you’re wandering around the open world, you’re fair game for other players, so stay on your toes. If you want to play Online solo, load the story mode, and simply select GTA Online from the menu as “invite only.” Playing solo does limit your character’s development somewhat; the best way to play is to hook up with other players as soon as possible and spawn whatever instanced activity you’re interested in. That way you can keep out of the way of griefers, and simply concentrate on completing missions and having fun.
There are measures in place to discourage players from constantly killing other players, but the reality is, if someone wants to be an ass, they will. So when you’re in free roam, watch out for stuff like getting sniped the moment you exit a hospital after being killed. Cars can also be booby-trapped, so treat tempting-looking vehicles with caution and look closely at how they’re parked. If it doesn’t feel right, move on. To be continued...
