the only thing that i would question there is vehicle purchasing. There will still be a limit to how many vehicles can be in the map, so if someone bought a car it would be taken from somewhere else. imagine driving down a street and all of a sudden you get ejected and you land on yer butt cause someone just bought yer car from under you maybe have all the really good cars designated solely for purchase and have them in a parking lot/used car lot instead of appearingoutof nowhere. with designated cars, you could adjust the price and properties per car, a bullet proof rancher could cost a fortune, while a regular fast car can be a normal price

a pure server is a server that runs only what originally came with the game. I certainly hope your right about not all the servers hosting their own mod, it would be a shame to go online and see 200 server with 200 different mods running.

that jump looks too damn cool when it works to take it out. we are playing multiplayer gta here, so the quirks like not able to jump and shoot or roll when you get up comes with the territory.

lol, didn't you see the movie "war games"?, that chick was smokin

thats the problem with forums; you can't force people to read before they start posting. if people read everything first, i bet the admins jobs would be much easier.

it has a lower radius of attack. i think it deals out more damage per swing though......hell, the hammers worth it for that satisfying "thwack" noise like someonew getting brained.

actually i hope that there will be some pure servers still. it would be a shame to have a different mod on every server. chances are there will be a helluva lot of servers though, so fat chance of that

it is conceivable to put an ai player in the game, but he would put just as much data (if not more) than a regular player. someone did design a bot for mta once, but abandoned the project. of course, theres no way it would be as versatile as a real ai cop from single player. if you want cops so bad,a good mod for mta blue would be to give the cop class the ability to arrest others if they are in a certain radius and moving below a certain speed. reward the cop for the arrest, and teleport the victim to the cop station.

in blue someone can make a mod that only lets people fire spitballs and you can stay in that server safe from danger. untill then, quite yer whining.

not to mention port 2003 (the same port netbus used to use as default)

gtatari, youve been away this suggestion is what people have nicknamed "glueing", and apparently this may be possible for blue!

i seriously hope we do too, vck matches ar few and far between, but we hope to change that.

is it my imagination, or has getting into the back of vans actually been improved in the newer releases?

VCK just won a turf war on friday 0ct 15 <[FMJ] - Kills: 24 Deaths: 37 Score: -13> <[VCK] - Kills: 29 Deaths: 29 Score: 0> <[DK] - Kills: 34 Deaths: 37 Score: -3> BlackDragon, HappyRock, and I played. you can read a log of the match HERE

heh, i don't think it's rockstars lawyers that would pounce, but sony's. gta games are not allowed to have any major advantages over the ps2 version due to a contract. so as long as mta is free, it's classified as a mod, not an upgrade/expansion pack and it's nice and legal like. and yes, this topic keeps getting reincarnated, so the forum regulars can answer the question cause we have seen it answered a dozen times already

piling more on your plate, huh bump? great news for non americans and mta in general, jolt servers can be pretty damn good. congrats mta for taking another chunk of the online gaming pie.

calling the little weiners "hackers" is an insult to the real hackers. (ie: the mta team) these people are script kiddies and lowlife cheaters. not "modders" not "hackers" not "enhanced players"

to connect to a server on the same pc, type "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" in the field

i wouldnt mind an auto-aim. the question is, would it auto aim from your client, or theirs, if its theirs, then the lag would help you out, but if its your game that it auto-aims with, yer gonna die.

client side deaths, so no thats not possible (unless blue changes that)

not being to alt-tab could be a headache, but if it insures a fair game I wouldnt mind. perhaps i could suggest a "minimize" button in the blue menu screen, and disable the alt tab altogether? that way you maintain some control and still offer a way to access other running apps.(minimize button could = a /kill at the same time)

so thats a no for passengers shooting? damn. well, a modder might still get the "glue" thing at least.

thats what that screen shows you!!! in blue, according to that pic, when you pause the game stays running and you can still get attacked. this means that pausing is not a way of avoiding being attacked. no other online games give you the ability to pause in the middle of the game. if you dont want to be attacked and you have to go to the bathroom, dont respawn. we don't know yet if there is a pause indicator in blue, but they did say that the directx features can be customized for a mod.

there is always more content to add no matter what. you just have to be creative.
