Could we be seeing official multiplayer support for the latest installment of Grand Theft Auto? According to an article on IGN (http://www.ign.com/), the game will have 16 player online support and 15 different modes. Take a look:

If your Friday needed a boost, we've got one for you -- we have possible multiplayer details on Grand Theft Auto IV.

It seems our neighbors to the east -- PSM Spain -- got their paws on the title's 15 multiplayer modes and are ready to tell all. According to a translation on GTA4.net (http://www.gta4.net/news/index.php), online supports 16 players each with their own customized character -- race, sex, hair and clothing are up for grabs.

The article lists all of the game's modes -- we've got them below as well -- but goes into a bit of general detail on the ones it was able to play. Race and GTA Race lets the host choose which vehicles can be used and how many laps can be played; Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch has the host set the amount of pedestrians, traffic and police along with what weapons will be available; Mafia Work and Team Mafia Work cast you as one of Kenny Petrovic's men and assigns you hits to carry out before your opponent can; a single-player mission titled Hangman's NOOSE allows you to play with a friend as you move a mobster that's being pursued by SWAT agents; and finally, a team of police is charged with stopping a team of criminals in Cops N Crooks.

The translation says that all of these missions were played on the same map that is used in Niko's single-player adventure, but Rockstar Games has yet to officially respond to IGN on this article.

Whenever the game manages to be ported to the PC, it will undoubtedly have multiplayer capabilities that surpass that of the consoles. With these details, at least we know that GTA finally has its own in-house mutliplayer support, compared to its predecessor's.
