2. Online Heists
We know that heists are going to play an important factor in GTA V, with the game's story-mode centring around a series of daring bank raids that range in difficulty. We've all seen the screenshots, Michael rappelling down a skyscraper dangling from a harness while Trevor circles above in a helicopter and Franklin provides cover with a sniper rifle from a nearby rooftop. It's like something out of Mission Impossible. And we think this could easily work in GTA Online. In GTA Online, there are "crews" that players can align themselves with in a similar way to gangs whereby you and your friends can team up against a rival group of players for added protection. And this could evolve into a series of "online heist" modes whereby each crew has to steal something from the other, like Capture the Flag but with more glitz and glamour thrown in. Being able to perform a diamond robbery with a group of friends for example would be terrific, with each person given a designated role, such as sniper, helicopter operator, getaway driver etc. "Online Heists" could also borrow from GTA IV's "Cops & Robbers" mode where one group of players have to steal something with the opposing team playing the role of SWAT - or in the GTA universe - NOOSE. The possibilities for this really are very exciting.
