I sincerely doubt you'll be able to get a train from there to america .

Nice Star Trek mousepad I've just got a plain blue fabric one. So... what about us lefties? Well I (and I assume most other lefties) use the arrow keys to move around and so the main enter button is easily reachable with the index finger.

The fastest I've gone is 192 MPH, but you need a long straight road (hmm, airport).

It has to be the same car I have in every garage space in the single player game - the yellow Stinger. It also just happens to be parked outside the FMJ base

The term 'easter egg' in the context of hidden features or jokes in programs is not really anything to do with the time of Easter. There is a tradition to hide easter eggs on easter morning so that the children can run around trying to find them and the name just stuck for hiding things in computer programs.

Even coders are 'noobs' when they are new to a game

I found the screenshot misleading as it shows Blue gameplay, which is not available yet and the description fails to mention this or even imply it.

We had a really fun match with UVA last night, with 5 rounds (two lots of attack and defend and one tdm). I especially enjoyed trying to knock Dysper's Police Maverick out of the sky with my Hunter, and having a draw in the third round. I had 9hp and the rest of my team were dead so it was me vs Jax. I tried to run but when I got in the Sparrow, he got in as passenger. I tried several times to jump out of it but I couldn't, until one point where we were just too far from land and we both drowned It ended up at 5-1 to FMJ, but I think both teams had lots of fun.

Obviously the people at Rockstar see the value in MTA as a tool for extra sales. It's in their interests not to stop MTA, and maybe even to encourage such projects.

I didn't even touch any other online game until 0.4.1 came out. I started playing MTA a lot from around December 2003 and 0.4.1 came out at the end of July 2004. That's 7 months where I didn't get tired of MTA.

Erm... The topic is our gang (FMJ), and almost all the posts in this thread are about our matches. The last few posts have been about our matches. In fact you're the only one who's gone off topic in the last few pages.

I don't know who you play in clanwars, but some gangs we play use the Crusader extensively.

I don't think you have the record for the shortest-lived clan but I'm sure it's close. How can you find it too hard in only 2 days?! And if as you say, there are no members except you, why would anyone want to take it over? For the name?

He's referring to the thread which I started, called 'Respect?' if I recall correctly. In there I had some replies from MTA team members where at least one said they didn't play MTA much at all. It does seem that it has gone. It's a shame because we had a good discussion between the players and the team and I think it helped (along with two other threads by KungFu and SexyB) prompt this new gamemode for 0.5.x. PS This was when you were internet-less.

You've completely missed the point. Spawning and playing as VCC for a round doesn't have any problems... it's only when you respawn for the next round. So it's a little silly to say no VCC at all. A better rule might be to quit the game and restart if you've been VCC in the previous round.

Gary Numan - Cars BEST.SONG.EVAR Ever heard Are 'Friends' Electric, also by Gary Numan? That's my favourite tune ever. But any way I think that most of the cars and car placements in the current version are okay, but we could definitely do with some of the rubbish vehicles being replaced by things like the VCN (did an MTA team member get helikilled too much? ) and a packer (the last one was replaced by the Firetruck. It's great to have the Firetruck, but I would have rathered it replaced something like the Walton or Mule).

Billy Idol would be proud

Gary Numan would be proud

qwned!

I think you misunderstand what Blue is compared to the current version of MTA. The Grand Theft Auto 3 engine (on which Vice City and San Andreas are also built) handles all the things we see in the game (the graphics, the animations etc). MTA consists of two parts - a core and a networking unit. The core communicates with the GTA3 engine to display the updates from the networking unit. It also takes information from the engine to send to the networking unit. With the current version of MTA, the core is using an antiquated method to communicate with the GTA3 engine, which has some limitations. Quite a while ago the MTA team realised that there was only so far they could go with the core they had (they've probably gone further than they expected), so they started to build a new core from scratch using a different method of communicating with the engine. This is Blue. At least that is my interpretation - I may be wrong on some points.

Because guns shoot CHUNKS OF LEAD AT INCREDIBLE SPEEDS! when you have that, everything else seems boring in comparison The thing I'm most looking forward to (in terms of the game itself, rather than the add-ons) is being able to shoot ahead while riding a PCJ

However it would give you more sense of being in a populated city, and make it feel more like the single player game.

And now, less than a day after, you have a new one? So is this one meant to be like old film? I think it looks quite good, but you forgot to add a subliminal message

San Andreas is going to be released in the USA on the 7th of June, this is over 60 days away. However, if they are seriously hoping they will release Blue before SA, why are they working on 0.5.x?
