Seems like you want GTA to become an MMO

Well, there are up- and downsides of having so huge maps in my opinion.
At first, if you don't have a i7-machine and all-glass fibre internet connection, you cannot run a server that can handle so many players. This would make you incompetetive with other servers, you will not meet other players on the server, etc. On the other hand it would be cool IF you are on a server that can handle so many connections, because you always meet new people everywhere.
A huge map would make it interesting for big servers, but is a danger for little servers to die and that would be a pity in my opinion, because also here you can find unique ideas.
So: A little bit bigger, okay, but I hope they don't blow it out of all proportions.
