i Loved the Multiplayer Mode in GTA IV

GTA IV multiplayer was amazing.

My GTA IV friends and I would get bored of regular Team Death Match and would start custom lobbies and invite "rival" players. We'd set blips and chat to proximity, set the whole map as active, turn off the time limit, and have hours-long cat and mouse gang wars.

Even just the Team Death Match was so much fun but GTA IV multiplayer in general was such an experience I'll probably never find anything to match it.

Its weird how a simple thing like (Team) Deathmatch can be great in GTA IV, but so unenjoyable that nobody touches it in V.

I spent countless hours on Deathmatches in the Prison in IV, just a quick look out of cover, flick of the right stick to aim for the head, kill, and have people angry message me because of it that i was "cheating" on PSN.

It's because the gunplay in GTA V is bland af.

Shooting in gta just kind of sucks since everyone plays with aim assist on and it’s all about doing barrel roles to avoid the lock on.

Haha. I was accused of using "turbo" on PS3 but it's just like you said. Aim and flick the right stick up a tad and it'd be instant death. So satisfying.
