The stars behind GTA 5’s Franklin, Michael, and Trevor, along with the voice of CJ from San Andreas, were asked if they had any advice for the actors playing GTA 6’s Jason and Lucia now that the game is almost here.

The long wait for GTA 6 is almost over. After 13 years, the game is finally set to release on November 19 in one of the biggest (and potentially most expensive) pop culture moments in history.

Knowing just how passionate Rockstar’s fanbase can be, actors who starred in previous games in the franchise shared their words of wisdom with the as-yet unannounced actors who are playing Jason and Lucia, the dual protagonists of GTA 6, in an interview with All Out Gaming at MCM Comic Con.

“Have fun,” CJ’s actor, Young Maylay, said.

“To be honest, just listen to what Rockstar says,” Shawn ‘Solo’ Fonteno, famous for playing Franklin in GTA 5, added. “They’re gonna lead you in the right direction. … But get ready. That’s all I can say, is get ready. It’s a ride that they’re gonna be on for a while.”

Young Maylay continued, remarking on how the GTA games have garnered dedicated fanbases from multiple generations of players. “We’ll always be the characters that we are, and for the generation of kids who are coming up, you’re gonna have certain brackets,” he said.

“Right now, I got all the OGs. Everybody coming in my line — you catch some youngsters, but you got guys with the grey hair coming in saying, ‘Hey man! You’re the guy, CJ!’ And they [gesturing to the GTA 5 cast] have all the youngsters right now. So, during this time period, you’re gonna grow with your fanbase. It’s not like everything’s gonna get shut down by you guys [speaking of GTA 6]… we’ll always be those characters, and you can’t take that from us.”

Ned Luke, who played Michael De Santa in GTA 5, urged the upcoming stars to be grateful for the game’s fans. “Just make sure that you appreciate the fans. Let the fans know… fake appreciation, they can smell it. You have to really appreciate them, genuinely, because what we have is because of them. If you don’t have the fans, you don’t got nothin’. They’re the game, and that’s the bottom line,” he imparted.

The cast's warm sentiments toward GTA fans is at odds with one particular star in the franchise: Steven Ogg, who infamously said he felt "nothing inside" regarding GTA 6 because he's "not a gamer" and has "never played a video game" before. That being said, he did suggest killing off his character at the beginning of GTA 6 as a means of "passing the torch" to the next era. "I think that would be cool, because it also acknowledges the fans of like, 'Hey, thank you.' Pass the torch, stomp Trevor's head in, and sort of put an end to that and allow a new generation to take over," he mused back in 2025.

Thus far, the actors who play Jason and Lucia have not been officially announced, though fans are extremely convinced that they’ve discovered the gal who lent her facial features to Jason’s partner in crime. Fans suspect she will be played by an actress named Manni L. Perez, as she has the exact same voice and bears a strong resemblance with the GTA protagonist. (For her part, she’s been very careful to honor her supposed NDA, if she really is involved in the project.)

The fervor around GTA 6 is at an all-time high. Rockstar is ramping up marketing for the title in a major way with a Vice City-themed takeover of Miami that includes massive signs advertising the fictional city, even partnering with the Miami Heat to give the team some Vice City uniforms for their November 18 game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Players will even get a chance to eat at one of the game’s fast food joints, Burger Shot, at the Kaseya Center while they watch the two teams face off on the court.

A new patch for Modern Warfare 4 has players up in arms because it prevents you from getting a tactical nuke Killstreak in Free-for-All, one of the Multiplayer modes.

“We've made two adjustments to Free-for-All in #MW4,” developer Infinity Ward announced in a tweet, which included confirmation of a score reduction and a party size change. Now, you can only enter Free-For-All matches with one friend in your party. On top of that, the score required to win a Free-For-All match has been reduced to 25 kills. It was previously 30 kills.

Players are upset because this change locks them out of 100% completing the game. A Calling Card called Ground Zero requires players to earn a tactical nuke in a Free-For-All match, but the new score cap prevents this from being possible, since you need to earn 30 consecutive kills without dying to get a nuke.

There’s no word on whether Activision and Infinity Ward plan to reduce the requirement for a nuke in Free-For-All or change the Calling Card to something that’s, you know, possible.

These changes come to the game after an uptick in account boosting in Free-For-All. Players who wanted to earn the Ground Zero Calling Card were coming in with three friends and farming each other to earn the nuke, essentially ruining the game for everyone else.

Obviously, these changes should put an end to that, but it’s annoying for players who wanted to play Free-For-All legitimately with their friends, or earn the Calling Card the right way. “One of the calling cards is literally 30kills in a FFA match lmao brain dead,” said one player. “Can we not keep changing stuff? FFA has always been 30 kills why change it now?” asked another.

Sentiment is almost entirely negative in the replies to the announcement so it won’t be a huge surprise if Infinity Ward reverses the decision or at least tweaks it in some way. This news landed just after Shipment, one of Call of Duty’s most iconic maps, was added to Modern Warfare 4.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's Season 1 details have been revealed, and a ton of new content is coming to the game.

Activision has confirmed that players can expect six new maps, including the return of Shoot House, in addition to new weapons, modes, events, and an expansion to the game's extraction mode, DMZ. Following the release of Shipment this week, Season 1 will debut with three maps starting on November 6. The maps will vary in weather, with one known as Backstab being set in a snowy village while another one known as Canyon will be set in a toasty desert. Shoot House has been reimagined to fit the game's Korean setting, but the overall layout that fans expect has remained intact.

The map was introduced back in Modern Warfare (2019) and has remained a fan favorite since its introduction for its tight design and powerful sightlines. Three other maps will be added throughout the season as well. Season 1 will also introduce a variety of new weapons, including a tomahawk and weapons that are clearly inspired by the FMG9 and AA-12 from old-school Modern Warfare titles. A gun known as the Cronen Osprey also appears to take inspiration from the CX9 from Modern Warfare (2019) or the Scorpion Evo from Black Ops 2.

There will also be new attachments/apex attachments to evolve your weapons, including a burst attachment for the M4, which will transform it into an M16. For DMZ enjoyers, a whole new part of the map has been unlocked, known as X01. It's an eerie enclosed facility that players will be able to explore in great detail in favor of finding high-quality loot, but the trade-off is that great threats lie inside. Activision describes the location as a dimly lit "labyrinth" of tunnels and passageways, so don't be surprised if you get lost or disoriented... just make sure you can get out in time for an extraction. You can also expect new bosses, FOB upgrades, and loot.

A number of classic Call of Duty modes such as Infection, Grind, and Drop Zone are also returning in Season 1. And of course, there will be a battle pass with a plethora of skins and unlocks for players. Currently, it looks like there's nothing too outlandish, so don't expect any Nicki Minaj or Beavis and Butthead skins. It seems like Modern Warfare 4 will retain its grounded aesthetic, at least within Season 1. The team had previously promised to avoid over-the-top skins, and so far they're making good on that promise.
