Tried online yesterday. Like GTAIV it has a nasty habbit of just chucking you in the middle of things. Not fun when everyone else has ranked up and you see a lot of death animations sadly! Also not helped by the fact you will get atleast one arsehole look for you when you respawn[normally near to where you died
] and just keep spawn killing you.
Once you get away from that it becomes fun. Find a town kill a few NPC's to get a wnated level and then take out the law and steal their wepons and you are good to go...and for that one guy that hounded me for so long? Oh yeah payback was a bitch.
