Some news has emerged about the online multiplayer options in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game. In a recent invitational hands on-session Rockstar introduced us to three multiplayer modes: Deathmatch, GTA Race and Cops N’ Crooks.

While Deathmatch is your fairly traditional multiplayer game, and GTA Race is a racing game with the added perks of rocket launchers and road blocks, Cops N’ Crooks is a little different than your conventional multiplayer mode. In essence it’s played much like a VIP style game. The crooks must evade the cops, and cops must bust the gang leader with his being the only location marked on the cops radar.

It promises to be a truly vast game and with still the potential for an online MMO we haven’t heard the last of the announcements yet.
