I'm sorry, but 1: Grand Theft AUTO
GTA is meant to be about the cars, and thats exactly what the MTA Team put back into the game when they developed Race. The single player game itself only contains 1 or 2 car missions, all of which, tbh, were crap.
Also, yes, I too am becoming weary of waiting for this mod, and yes, GTA San Andreas is now an outdated game, since it was released in 2004. However, MTA Deathmatch will need the "useless" features tbh, because if all you could do was run around and shoot someone, with no effect apart from them dying, I would get bored pretty quick. The features add to the fun of the game, and if they weren't there in an initial release, you would probably be posting this same thing again just about the lack of features instead, not the lack of a mod to actually play.
