Well if you came here looking for ways to cheat in multiplayer GTAIV on the XBox 360, you’ve come to the wrong place.  For shame on you, for shame!

Unfortunately for me, I met someone who does know how to cheat.  The only way I could fathom them managing it would have been a hacked XBox, but to my knowledge I didn’t think you could use them to run anything homebrewed, like a cheat application, while connecting to Xbox Live and gaming.

The player who I’m totally willing to name and shame is AK4 xLEGENGx

• Altered cars.  He was driving an altered large hummer which was pretty wide and had a working siren on the roof.  I’ve never seen that can anywhere in this game before.
• Changed driving mechanics.  While driving cars he would accelerate at extreme speeds and zip around the city many times faster than any of the normal cars are capable of.
• Invincibility.  Twice I had his number, he’d either crashed or I had blown up his car.  I emptied enough bullets in him to drop an elephant but nothing came off his health from what I could see with the reticle health option being on.
• Altered weapons.  He was firing a gun, looked like an assault rifle / smg, but fired rockets.  The rockets were hitting their targets immediately, like bullets would, so you wouldn’t even see them coming or the smoke trail.  Either that or he somehow upped the bullet damage to that of a rocket (or higher).
• Rockets fired from a car.  Anyone who has played GTA knows you can only fire certain weapons from the car and the rocket launcher isn’t one of them.  This didn’t stop this guy which is why I think he was using an SMG altered to fire rockets or with the damage scaled up to maximum.

I filed complaints against him but I’m still saddened by the fact that this level of cheating is possible.  A lot of people pay Microsoft for Gold membership so we can play multiplayer games and this sort of cheating would make it a waste of money if it continues or even increases.

Next time I see someone doing this sort of thing, I’ll try to record a video of it because it’s a ridiculous thing see.  Not that I ever what to come across this sort of thing ever again.
