  1. Hey, would it be possible to put in tanks in the current versions of MTA? I know the attack chopper is there and though you can fire the guns, they do not actually hurt anyone (other then yourself). It would be awesome to have some kind of tank wars in MTA. And I am sorry if this has been asked before, but your search button ain't working for me.
  2. Yeah, does not look like rockstar is gona do it for us in SA. That is ok, I am sure it would have sucked anyways, I'd rather play a BLUE version made by the MTA team. It is far away from comming out, but I see no reason why the MTA team would be unable to make it multiplayerable, the engine is pretty much the same thing, only expanded. I have good faith we will all be skydiving with each other some day, doing crazy formations ect, and having bike races up the mountian. Rockstars loss will become MTA's gain! And there is no doubt in my mind, it will be SUPER POPULAR! And absolutly! This current version of MTA is trying to be a free for all DM. This is not the true potential of GTA online. A big city of oppertunity, yet the focus is on DM? One of the first mods for blue better be a ownable doughnut shop mod, cause my police force is getting mighty hungry!
  3. ok yes, the most popular mode in a few of them games are CTF, which involve 2 sides ((TEAMING)) up with each other. I should have explained what I meant better, I was saying that the most popular matches for online shooters, are TEAM BASED matches.. CTF, assult, TDM, yeah, they are all teams vs teams. And no doubt in MTA, a real cops vs robbers team match with scenarios would be fun! I know, I know,,, wait for blue, but that is so far away!!! And to answer your last question jon, it will be a fun ride! But it won't reach the popularity of major shooters, not even close. I think most of the online gamers are just too into thier new shooting games to care. But who knows, I could be wrong, and MTA might end up with 25,000 players each evening? I guess only time will tell. I sure hope the fire delay is better in 4.5, that would surely help things out. I usually don't fight when I play mta, because it is nearly impossible to compete with that fire delay. I still have a great time driving around and making the stubby players angry by running! Fix the fire delay, and this game is really gona open up for everyone.
  4. Ok, so I don't want to go into a big debate about what sold what, blah blah blah, but most of the 20 million sold copies of GTA3\VC were playstation 2 sales and I am sure you will agree with that. The bottom line is this---- The total MTA player count now is NOT very high, has NEVER been high, and judging by past performance (of just the last year) I think it is safe to say, MTA is NOT going to gain a large fanbase ever. It is common sense. The game is getting older, and will not magically gain a legion of dedicated players overnight. I actually expect it to get worse (untill blue is out) When you have stubby jumpers owning your ass, and all your shots magically go through everyone you shoot at, HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE INTERESTED? And, Team Death Match is uber popular!!! Every shooting fan knows that! Look at unreal tournament, counter strike, delta force JO, planetside, battlefield, Tribes, do you see a pattern here? The most popular mode in these games are the team matches!!!! This is what being an online shooting fan is all about! So YES!!!!! MOST PEOPLE DO PREFERE TDM!! That does not mean you do, or I do, just the mass (80 % at least) of the online shooting market thrives apon TDM. I think when blue is released, MTA will generate a growing fanbase. It will never be super popular, but for those few thousands of players that will play it, they will be in for one hell of a fun ride.
  5. I'm sorry, but eAi is only three letters and he has it at the end of EVERY post. It's not like it's hard to spell. Can't you just take a little more notice? Any way - Vice City has much more stuff in it than GTA III (Bikes, Helicopters, Sea Plane, More Weapons and Cars, and more) but people are still playing GTA III muli- and single-player. I would bet (with real money) that people will still be playing GTA III and Vice City multiplayer when San Andreas has a multiplayer mod. Oh I am sorry, I did not realize you speak for eAi. He must be really offended judging by how you have quickly put me in my place. I meant no disrespect eAi, and if you were offended by it, I appologize for the mispelling. Anyways...... Yeah, counter strike took it's time to take off. But it was built for a game called HALF LIFE. This was a very popular game. Now, MTA\BLUE is built for GTA3 and GTA VC for the computer. (these were not nearly as popular for the PC as HL was) I highly doubt the numbers will dramatically change untill BLUE come out, and even then I doubt that it will reach a large fanbase. Sure, I love GTA online, but most people seem to prefer thier standard TDM shooting games. I agree, there will always be someone playing GTA3 and VC after san andreas is multiplayer for pc..... Just not many. (in other words, take half of the GTA3\VC player count now, and divide it by 3
  6. ok, I admit, that is one concern I have too.... Cause san andreas is so freaking huge!! It might need lots of controled games to keep players within reach (however I still think there should be a normal open world mode too). Imagine having a bike race going up to the top of that one mountain, then all jumping off with your bikes and parachuting with a bunch of friends, forming formations ect! How about BMX challanges? I'll own yall! There is just so much that could be done online with friends in san, whereas in VC,,, we have........ stubby fights...? well, this is getting off topic, I appologize. When blue is done, definately work to get to word out. Everyone knows of MTA, but not as many know about blue. I am sure a lot of people who gave up on MTA would come back to try blue out.
  7. You see, that is why you think VC will still be played. Before I played san andreas I thought... "hmmm... I bet it is just a little better then VC" But when I played san andreas for the first time Trust me, I personally, and many others could not give a S#%T about VC or GTA3 if san andreas were to have a decent multiplayer mod!!! Not because VC or GTA3 suck, (they are great games) but because san andreas is that much better, with that much more to do. EIA, may I suggest to you, play san andreas, AND NOW! Go cliff diving off the mountain with a parachute, then come back here and tell me you still think VC will draw anyone after that sweet game is out for pc and multiplayerable!! Sure there will still be some (cheap bastards who don't want pay 50 for the new game) they will still play vc or gta3. But anyone who owns san andreas will not care (much) for the old school games.. Swimming, jets, planes\with guns too, trains, cool automobiles, casinos, 4 wheelers, awesome wilderness areas, big clifs, san fran hills, trucks with attachable trailors!, better physics, parachuting, cool guns, getting fat, changing cloths,pilot\bike\car schools, BMX\even a BMX stunt corse..... ect. dude, these are all new features over the past game VC, and this is only scratching the surface. VC\GTA3 multiplayer is not going to become more popular all of the sudden. We are not waiting for it to PEAK, as it already has, and is dying out. Even though blue will be awesome, I doubt it will suddenly draw thousands of new VC and GTA 3 players. Why? Cuase those people don't play these games anymore. And there are always new games comming out to make sure they forget about that old game GTA3\vc. San andreas multiplayer will be the moment of uber popularity, you have all worked so hard for. I just hope you are the ones to develope it.
  8. Yippe! Another 5 percent done!! And look! It only took like 4 months! so next march we might have 70% done! w00t!!! I am not trying to be sarcastic, I mean I am really proud! This is awesome!
  9. Tons of people know about MTA. And tons have tried it. Honestly, I am willing to bet that 80 percent of everyone who owns GTA3 or VC for pc, knows about MTA. As good as the current version is (considering this is beta for a non multiplayer game) it still is far from what it needs to be. The fire delay and glitches make it very difficult for new players to compete. These are players who could pickup any other shooter for the first time, and play well (not shooter noobs). Learning how to fight in MTA means learning how to glitch ect. While I have firm belief that blue will be what they say it will be, I don't personally believe it will be done soon enough for many to care. At least not for VC or GTA3... By then those 2 games will be played by not 500, but more like 200. IF blue can be used for san andreas, then hell! You can expect a much larger following then what VC or gta3 has ever drawn. in short, plenty of people know of MTA.... I hate to say this out loud, but many of them just don't care. They like thier polished matches of counter strike ect. I highly doubt the numbers will ever dramatically increase. I for one do enjoy MTA however, and it is a darn shame there isn't more interest.

    mta blue

    lol, the poll had me confused at first too. I have no doubt that blue will live up to your word. I think everyone can agree on one thing. we all want blue now!!! If blue works like it says, stubby jump matches will finnally be a thing of the past It is great to know there is something to look forward to like blue, but at the same time, I can't help but feel it was cruel to advertise it 8 months or whatever before launch It is like waiting for doom 3 for years on end, only to get a standard shooting experience. Had it came out 2 years sooner in the same quality it is now, it would have been a much more amazing game for everyone. They took way too long to build it.

    mta blue

    Well, let's see here. Whether the MTA team wants to hear this or not, WHO HERE IS NOT THINKING SOMETHING ALONG THESE LINES? I still appreciate the team, and admire them for thier hard work. I myself am a mega modder (morrowind) and I know the dedication and countless hours things like this can take. Having said that, I must say, the progress bars have not budged since they were posted at 60 percent all that time ago. They can certainly take all the damn time they wish, but the longer they take, the more likely other cool games are to come out. Pure and simple. I will not care to ever play VC or GTA3 ever again, once San Andreas is out for PC and multiplayable. So an early release now seems sensible (let us enjoy VC now while it is still fun and not outdone) I voted yes, and I think a (perhaps buggy) but playable beta BLUE by christmas would be great... WHY NOT? We are still playing MTA and that is basically a beta. I think if BLUE were playable in such a state, the MTA team would do this. So BLUE is probably not very playable in it's current state, and if true, we don't want it yet. I won't be very excited once the progress bars say 70 percent... why? Because I have sat here for the past few months watching 60 percent never change. I am patient, but also realistic. At the current rate, I'd say we will be playing BLUE this time NEXT YEAR, and if true, I won't be playing it, cause by then we will have The Eldar Scrolls 4 Oblivion, Stalker, and who knows what other cool games! yes, this thread will probably get locked. Ah well. Just my 2 cents. Best thing I can say, is good luck to the MTA team. you guys can do it!
  12. DOH! I deleted the JO pics on accident a long time ago I guess. never mind.
  13. odd, you are the first person to say it has any problems. Most people say our site is fast, and the pics load correctly. You can click on pics to expand them to full size, but your browser is probably set to view as full size automatically. FYI---This is a paid for site out of my own pocket (100 bucks per year) built exclusively for our game modifications. It is a very good server. (800mb storage) (40gb bandwidth usage per month).... well,,, this was a good deal when we got it last march anyways. I think I will post some funny joint operation pics I collected now.
  14. lol, could be. I have always played MTA on my current setup and have never seen a giant vehicle before. The taxi and giant FBI rancher that I saw, both started on fire and blew up with the rest of the cars, so I couldn't get close. They were normal sized fires and explosions. At first I thought I was seeing things, but when I captured it as a screen shot, it was like having proof of an UFO encounter. This giant car thing only happened during the hacking which went on in the partyserver that day. Maybe all the cars loading into one spot caused graphic glitches tho.
  15. you might have your resolution up to 1600x1200, but you might only be in 16 bit mode. make sure it says--- 1600x1200 32bit or whatever. Just love my aging geforce 4200 128mb ddr card
  16. lol. What if I be really good and frag lots of people? Will ole saint kick (Fraggy Cause) give me a w00tsmas present then? on killer, on griller, on spiller, on uh.... I forget the rest of the redneck raindeer names.
  17. Well mr bump, I checked the file, it is just .gif not caps or anything. I tried several things, and tried a jpg even today. It just keeps bringing up that screen saying (filetype must be .jgp .gif .png)
  18. yeah! I'd love to drive it I play in 1600x1200 resolution for GTAVC with everything maxed out. Plays smooth. When the script user was causing all the cars to this one spot, my fps went from 40fps-2fps lol. I am gona post some more cool if I happen to stumble across any other bizzar sights.
  19. ok, so I admit it... I have not played single player much. we need a plane in MP. that would rock!
  20. http://themikecorp.com/v-web/gallery/Ga ... ash?page=1 At my site I have hosted some freaking awesome and bizzar pics I took while playing MTA VC in the party server. You will see a GIANT TAXI, Raining Cars, and of course, explosions that are truely titanic! While I don't encourage cheating\hacking, I do enjoy these pics I got while playing against a major script user! I have no idea who the player was, and he/she eventually left the game.
  21. It is great in san andreas, you don't need flying cars... There is tons of flying jets\planes\choppers! It really sucks that there is no DODO in VC. I was a master at flying that silly thing in GTA3. I managed to fly beyond the tallest skyscrapers on the PS2. anyways, I hope blue will be able to prevent hackers better then MTA?
  22. according to what the profile thingy says, it needs to be 100x100 or less in hieght and width. I R confused. I have a really cool avatar to show off too. I hosted this file at my site, in a pictures section and tried to upload from there,,, still get the same message- file must be .jpg .gif or .png bah
  23. I reckon that I get them thar following messages when tryen to upload ma GIF avatar image--- Filetype must be .jpg .gif .png What am I doing wrong? I tried uploading it from my pc, and from my web site (url) nothing is working! arrrrrrrg! The file is under 60k and under 100x100 size.
  24. ok, I am back... Took the doctors a lot of defibulators (batteries kept running out) but they finnaly shocked my heart back to life. anyways, my assumption that blue will take another year, comes from the fact that the current 60 % took about a year. I know, I know,,,, the last 40% could be easy work (and I hope it is ) but I too am a mega modder(morrowind), and I know how these things can be hard to wrap up. ususally the last half of a game produciton is the hardest and most unpredictable half. Most games in production get delayed, as do most mega mods. I've seen it all before, even from my own work which still is not done(thanks to playing MTA). well, if you guys get blue done this year (somehow) I will have one hell of a merry W00tsmas this year!
