• You start GTA: Online arriving to Los Santos pennyless and you must complete a few missions first to get a feel of the online.
• Your ranking will be based off of shooting, driving, parachuting and flying skills.
• People can access their data through Social Club and via their iPhones or iPads.
• There is a mode called "passive mode" which means you can't shoot people and they can't shoot you.
• A "Bad Sport" stat will be given for bad behaviour such as blowing up another player's car, and if it's done persistently you will be punished.
• If your multiplayer character at Max Payne 3 had a high level, it will be carried over to GTA: Online for more bonuses that you will unlock.
• Matchmaking is based off of ranking, so it prioritizes your friends' rankings, crewmembers' rankings and even strangers so that when you need people, you know who to get.
• GTA Online tracks who your rivals are and lets you know when they've come online so you can get some revenge on them.
• You will have contacts available at anytime that will provide different services on or off mission, as you rank higher you will have access to characters with new and stronger abilities. Examples of such are being hidden from the radar and setting a bounty on another player if you're being chased.
• If you steal a vehicle, you can spray and change the plates. Some vehicle customisation businesses might not be willing to do that and you may get a wanted level.
• Weasel News will pick up people that have got wanted levels.
• There is a planning room in people's apartments.
• If you are in a heist and need some help, you can invite your friends and they will be teleported to you instantly.
• The experience is seamless between transitions for free-roam and missions.
• You can call up a private security firm to bring in an airstrike, i.e. destroy street races.
• There's a stock market, which won't be available at launch but will be insane whenever Rockstar does put it in. You can invest in a car manufacturer and then storm around the city destroying every one of their cars so they have to pump out more (and their stock increases accordingly).
