It's the moment you've been waiting for! It's the moment we've been waiting for!

We're happy to announce a preview release of MTA: SA Deathmatch as a good start to the new year. As a new years resolution, we've decided to try much more frequent releases. We've said this before, but we've finally got a solid base to work from and a we're in a good position where you - the community - can give us valuable input.

The key emphasis of this initial release is to get your help in making MTA the mod you want. We're not going to be taking feature requests - initially, but we're want you to help to find bugs, create game-modes, maps, resource web pages and anything else you want! We're going to remain focused on fixing bugs until we have a release that we're happy to call a final 1.0 release.

There are a few things you should be aware of before playing MTA.

* Game-modes are of varied quality - some are very good, some could do with some work. Feel free to contact the authors if you're interested in helping with them.
* There are some bugs still! Please report them on the forum.
* There are some crashes too, not many. What remains are generally specific to specific game-modes. We've played for 3+ hours in busy servers with no crashes, but your milage may vary!
* We have not included the editor in this release, a few issues appeared just before we were going to release. We'll release it as soon as we can.

If you have a problem, comment or just want a chat, contact us on IRC - #mta on irc.multitheftauto.com or our forums .

For people interested in scripting, mapping or helping with MTA generally, we've released a brand new WIKI with extensive documentation of our 800+ scripting functions. You can view it at http://development.mtasa.com . If you want scripting help, contact us on #mta.scripting on irc.multitheftauto.com .

We intend to release frequent updates, so watch this space! We can't wait to hear what you think!

Happy new year!

Gona try this myself now. See if its any good.
 
When you get to main menu its awsome as a menu goes. Really cool what they did.

Theres some new options compared to mta race mode for gfx, the browser is lookin the same when finding servers. Tho it looks nicer.

Ingame well i had 45ping which was nice compared to race where i got 180ping about 10 hrs ago. So maybe net code has improved afterall.

Sync to me looks like it could be better as i still saw ppl look unsynced and weapons didnt hit as good as they said they would on their site. Like uzi for example it doesnt hit very well when ** circling a enemy firing away at them and sometimes looks like there not even been struck by the bullets.

Still i did kill some enemys tho which is always a good feeling. :)

Game modes seem ok if a little confusing also theres no score board was just name and pings when u press tab. You do kinda get a list of things to do on left of screen but id prefere markers and messages to pop up that static objective things.

IMO samp is probably better right now, but well i supose mta dm has potential as it supose to have 800+ script commands so we should get some good scripts out from ppl now the preview release is out.

One thing tho is that when i tryed to play mta race before i spotted this mta dm release news i couldnt join any race server at all i always got a mta error saying sry for the inconveinance (sp).
 
Cool. I was still playing SA until a few weeks ago. Mostly Cops V Robbers on NeO server. Great fun.

Is this like a free roam patch?
 
SA maybe old news but it is still VERY popular, new mods for it coming out every day still and GTA Forums are extreamly active still, I've just got back into it, going to play through it again except I got snow mod so the whole of SA is snowy now.
 
Sites back up if a bit slow, probably cos of the traffic its getting.

Someone asked what mta was, its Multi Theft Auto. Its a multiplayer alternative to SAMP mod which also gives multiplayer ability to gta sa.

Can you still cheat?
In the race one, you could use hacks (not that I ever did) - bit like any MP game really. There was quite a bit of it around. You can't use 100% health, armor, cheats like that though.
