Passive mode just made it so you couldn't be shot or melee attacked. You could get ran over until you died

Rooftop rumble grinding and no pay to win items good times.

Imagine if GTA Online didn't get as big as it did, and it basically got stuck like this.

The adder vs zentorno days or only being scared off the jets or the one asshole who had a tank killed his mate to give his mate a free tank or farm rooftop rumble or potshot 😂😭 or the constant lag

We used the DNS exploit so we could get the Christmas snow after it expired 😂

Nowadays, most players don’t play other mini games like last team standing or parkour death match to me. I really enjoyed rockets and insurgents Back in the day like 2015 and 16 ☹️☹️

I used the North Yankton glitch a ton, I thought for sure it'd be an eventual map expansion for online

Elegy dupe glitch was a personal favorite I did on the 360 days. I did a lot of the fling glitches too like climbing on the top of a box truck or with the big gates. completely forgot rooftop rumble existed but i remember making people so mad in that mission

I met so many good people in 2013-2014 playing this game. The gang wars we'd have, 1v1's was just a good time to be a gamer.

Rockets vs insergents

I played this game in different eras/periods of my life.

It fvcking hurts that no one really talks about the middle section. It’s either just the first year people WONT STFU about or the era we’re in now.

I played 2013-2015, 2018-2019, then 2024 - now

I will never understand how did R* think that a futuristic flying broomstick is fitting for a Nightclub DLC. Never mind the fact that that thing shouldn't even exist in the world of GTA but the MK1 version at least made some sense because it was released with the Military Style DLC and i always saw it as a secret military project

Damn I remember doing that north Yankton glitch back in the day so cool for the time

who remembers violent duct and getting stuck in the clouds

No blacklisted vehicles, no placement restrictions on the creator, no payment docking, no jets everywhere, no car selling restriction, no sweatlords, Cargobob could lift everything, custom save edited cars, We lost so much.

It’s peak😭♥️

If I remember correctly the ‘singleplayer protagonist’ glitch was somewhat client sided, as other players couldn’t see you visibly? I don’t remember if you were able to kill anyone either.

Early days to better days.
