Guest Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hi, I have been a loyal fan of MTA for quite a while and I've had many restless nights dreaming and wondering when MTA:SA would finally arrive so I can run around a shoot people to relieve my anger (come on we all do) and or generally have fun..... until recently I came across an article from http://www.planetgrandtheftauto.com/features/articles/mtareview/ with 2 very extremely dissapointing facts of the new MTA:Sa release and I quote: First I'd like to mention that you cannot get out of your vehicle in MTA:SA. Starting out, the MTA team wants this to strictly be car-based. and then this: I installed a shortcut to the client on my desktop, double-clicked it and a small intro picture appears while the game checks the CD. Then, the game opens. If this is true then this is a very sad time for MTA which I hope will not be it's downfall.....because without being able to walk and being constrained to a vehicle really takes away the true element of GTA, having the freedom to do what you want!! In GTA Rumble you can walk around and do whatever you please, why not MTA:SA? And for the CD verification, what if we have actually bought the game, but like many other people..like to keep the cd in mint condition and don't like to go through the hassle of producing the CD everytime you want to play MTA:SA This s**t is f**ked, I desperately need an answer and solution to this nonsense. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------They thought einstein was mad..now they know how wrong they were. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment
m21 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 u should search more before posting... this argument was answered like a million and one times!!! yes in the first releace ull be able to race only and to change vehicles by pickuping them withnot getting out of ur one. but only in first release. this is just made for making the mta gamers to play mta race mod while the team will develop the deathmach release. just becouse some players want to start playing (most of us) iw will just take much time while they will develop the deathmach and it will give nothng for the quality of the release they will make some releases. as i said only in the first u cant get out of car (or plane, bike, boat, heli, etc.) hope the point is clear Link to comment
finn_bryant Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 It has been said many times that you can use at least one of the no-cd cracks, and mabey others. Yes, it is sad that there is no footsync, but look at it this way, there is a certain amount of time to develop this ie 9-10 months for sdk + mapping + vehcles and then an extra ? for foot sync (prob at least 6) so it is either they spend an extra 6 for footsync or release it now. They will do footsync one day (probably) Link to comment
Guest Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 *sigh* I guess I'll play GTA Rumble until then, they're progressing ok I guess. It is quite the opposite of MTA releasing new versions asap once it's stable enough...it's nice to have A mod to play and having the freedom to do pretty much anything you want...regardless if everything is synched or not it still makes for awesome game play. And as for the Cd authentication topic I'm glad to hear that it's most likely not going to leave me no other alternative than to put the cd in, I know I'm not the only one who hates scouring their room for lost cds. I'm sure there are many other ways to check for authenticity anyway. Link to comment
Slothman Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 deleted poll, as it made no sense. 1: yes this release is a racing/vehicles release, future versions will have deathmatch. 2: MTA team has never been for or against no-cd. Jordan however runs a legitimate gamespy website that has close ties to industry, he wouldn't use a no-cd Link to comment

orappa Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I noticed in the review that not everything Jordan said was 100% accurate. We didn't tell him everything about it, and some things he guessed. Talidan is right, he is just referring to GTA's CD authentication system. Regarding the race mod, it really shouldn't be a surprise. It's been stated from Day 1 that the first release will be racing only. My advice is to give it a chance and not automatically decide that it must be crap because you're not shooting the hell out of someone. Edit: Oh, btw, my last sentence is inaccurate because whilst player weapons aren't available, vehicle weapons are... Link to comment
Guest Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 your being an idiot and forgetting that it is GTASA that checks for your CD....mtasa launches your gtasa therefore it checks for your cd. First of all I'd like to inform you that I'm very well aware that normally SA checks for your CD, but I think you're being stupid and have misunderstood me as you may or may not be aware.. the the first impression many people got of GTA:SA several months ago was that it was meant to be integrated into gta_sa.exe, seeing as I thought this was the case I assumed that if you did not put in your cd you basically would not be able to play the game and there really wasn't any other alternative. It was more a question of whether or not users who have the retail or bought cd/dvd would be restricted to having to insert the cd or if a no cd .exe would be a possible alternative. Hope that cleared things up a bit... Link to comment
Kent747 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 We do not develop with CD cracks in mind. We can not be sure if they work, Its not something we strive to support, but we do not implement any additional CD verification security measures. Kent Link to comment
kaboom Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Since you seem to have arrived to this website not to long ago, I'd advise you to read through the blog... You'll be pleasantly suprised. Link to comment
Guest Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yeah I check it almost everyday...just because I registered recently doesn't mean I haven't been keeping up to date with mta Link to comment
UK Red Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 This s**t is f**ked, I desperately need an answer and solution to this nonsense. Yessir, yessir, right away sir. We have nothing to do but to pander to the tantrums of a stranger *sigh* I guess I'll play GTA Rumble until then, they're progressing ok I guess What?! You're kidding. Please say it isn't so. The game won't be the same without arrogant, selfish, impatient people like you there. Have some gratefullness and understanding. I know the MTA team have to be a bit PC and can't always say what they want, so please see the above as what I'm guessing they'd want to say. Link to comment

[TTH]Mr.X Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 http://mtavc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14817 < That should be in it, without respawn in free roam it will be horrible restarting the free roam every time an other player joins. Link to comment
UK Red Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Another baby? Is this the Daycare thread? Put down "The Cat In The Hat" and start reading the blog! So what about re-spawn. Yes. It will suck. But wouldn't you rather be able to compete in races while they're fixing that? Link to comment
Ransom Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 There is only one really massive freeroam map, its hardly a big portion of the race mod and something to lose sleep over. Link to comment
Si|ent Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 There is only one really massive freeroam map, its hardly a big portion of the race mod and something to lose sleep over. Only one made by members of the Qa team perhaps, but many users will want to create them. It was a mistake not to include respawn, I guess it wasn;t thought through. HOWEVER, it's too late to do anything about it now. I just hope its hovering around the top of the list for the next release/update/patch etc Link to comment
