Version 0.1 of Multi Theft Auto: Vice City has been released, and omg it rocks!!!! Amazing fun :D
Its lots lots better than Multi Theft Auto for GTA3 if you tried that. Namely, this one works! :D
If you own Vice City on PC, there's no reason not to try this thing! Its a blast!
Here's a pic of me pwning some nubs in my attack helicopter :D

I would get it but my computer is not good enough for it. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Well sure, if your computer can't handle all the visual effects. ;-)

yes you can talk, simply hit T just like you do in every other multiplayer game on earth... <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You're forgetting about Halflife and all applicable MODs; We have to press "Y" to chat in game (unless you change from the default controls). <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
[edit]wait i dont quite get this. (i have it on ps2) you buy the pc vice city by rockstar than MTA is a mod for it correct?[/edit]
The graphics/lag was pretty screwed up, but maybe thats my crappy computer <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> probably that... hehe
Anyway, there aren't enough cars. You can drive for 1 minute in any direction with nothing to do, and then your car explodes and u barely escape dying, and then you have a [literally] 10 minute walk back to spawn, which has the nearest car.
Remedy: Bring back the random AI. Don't have it as a multiplayer game alone, because there aren't enough players. Have it exactly the same as original Vice city [bar a few map changes] but incorporate multiplayer... I mean, you walk around and there are normal random AI cars driving around, so you can kill one and drive around... And then youre chasing after another guy in car, instead of driving around empty streets you have to weave around AI traffic.
Then people just sit there shooting you, or your car so it explodes, and it's lame... the Killing part of MTA:VC is lame...
Remedy: I can't really think of how to 'fix' this right now, bar being in gangs [which possibly may already be on the 'to do' list] and then you control territory, and get money for guns and AI gang members, etc etc... which would be pwnage. Possibly even incorporate missions somehow, like for example your gang has more 'respect' points [for various reasons], and are therefore more attractive to employers... so then an AI random employer employs you/your gang to do something, like.. I don't know.. raid an enemy [AI or human controlled] gang, or steal something from a house, which another [AI or human] gang has been chosen to guard. Could be coop play [i.e three or something human guys in a gang, beefed up by AI gang members which you control [and by that i mean give orders to]] or your control your AI gang, and each human player controls an AI gang, etc etc.
Overview of my opinion: Essentially, currently, its merely a trophy add-on... Multiplayer for the sake of multiplayer. Needs a huge amount of work, and several [hundred <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->] major gameplay re-thinks. Only useful currently for beta testers, but could possibly develop into something good, if everything goes well and they have major changes.
I doubt they'll be able to let the city be populated, as that would be entirely too bandwidth intensive, not to mention that the way gta's engine determines what people go where would make things a little wierd.
