in my humble opinion the most important things needed in MTA are :
1-deathmessages and death anims
i'ts weird to kill somebody or die and simply disappear ... maybe a global message or a killed/killer one . and a fall to the ground and corpse for a couple of seconds ...
2-damage to cars
not seing the cars getting damaged is also on the list, and when it blows up it takes us back to point 1 above
3-removing ppl from car
nothing beats the exileration of getting a friend out of his car and riding on to the sunset in it ... it even opens the chance to create your own new type of minigames, like control the dodo etc.i'm not even getting into when you get in a friends car and dont control it and everything gets a little gusshy (nice word... means nothing )
4- jumping animation ?
i think i read somewhere that the jumping animation wasn't done ... maybe i'm wrong ... but the other players do disapear for a couple of feet sometimes, maybe they jumped, maybe it's just lag, maybe it's both
These are the building blocks ... when MTA has these things ... it's on it's way to perfection ...
i'm happy that we are going in the right direction and i want to thank the MTA team for what they gave us thus far !
ps: an ingame chatting thingy would also be most apreciated
