Just a curious question as I see more and more people starting to make GTA2 maps, script and make cars.

Maybe it's just me but, things are looking good these days and I'm starting to answer ppl's questions about mapping and scripting. GTA2 cars... don't ask me  :]

Nice to see it coming back though... what y'all think?

I agree with that, but also I've been doing my own things (although not as large as Delfi's apps etc) that have helped GTA2 mappers and scripters. Biggest find by me was how to use the SWAT remap  :D  If this was about 2 years ago, lotsa ppl would be using it  :))

I've had a fair few replies regarding my GTA2 Script Help web page (offline for a while  :o ) saying how useful its been. At the moment, I'm probably gonna have my site hosted by SaP Digital ( click here). I think it's just gonna be for my help page, with my own little news area  :Y

Let's hope more ppl start doing GTA2 now with all the cool stuff being released  ;D

GTA2 is pretty much the staple game that everyone uses first when they set up a LAN party.  It's just fun, casual multiplayer and has some awesome multiplayer maps made for it. :]

However, with Multi Theft Auto: Vice City GTA2 multi is starting to look rather...dated. :!

    		When I played MTA: VC with my friend I didn't find it as fun as playing GTA2's multiplayer. But I rarely have a chance to play GTA2's multiplayer anymore because most of my friends think that graphics is the most imporant thing in games.

    Urgh, Vice isn't just pretty graphics FFS.  It's a whole bloody 3D environment with advanced physics and polygon-based models, not sprites and cubes. :]

    And I personally cannot wait until the team I lead gets our Majera Road Route into Vice and start racing against each other in multiplayer over it, using my simulation handling setups and using Nismo Skylines, Caterham 7's, Jaguar E-types etc etc etc... :))

    Wrong topic  :D  but Cerb, GTA2 is almost 'ancient' compared to GTA3 and VC and so, you can expect better. Whats good about GTA2 is that you don't need to have broadband to play it, all these new games and mods require broadband just to get about 4 frikin' players on it. Sure, I'd love to play GTA3 or VC in multiplayer but I aint got broadband (thanks BT  :#@ ) and stuck with a 56k until they upgrade the phone exchange... and that could be some time yet.

    Network I find is far better and less bloody laggy. At the moment, for GTA2, we use a pier to pier network. Sure, only 2 players max but, with a ping at 10, you can't say its bad.

    GTA2 will always be one of the better GTA series multiplayer around until a proper GTA 3D multiplayer comes out. GTA2 hasn't got the graphics I know, but its FAR EASIER to map and script  ;D

    Besides, how can you compare a 3D game to a 2D game (up to a point)? You can't  :D

    Edit:

    You can map most of the things you find in GTA3 / VC, except of course things like the Sanchez arena thingy at the stadium in VC which of course, you can't do. Cool of you could though. Also, 95% of the missions you could program into GTA2, again, apart from missions like helicopter missions blah blah blah.

    So you see, GTA2 can contend with the big boys of 3D  :Y

    		Delfi is the almighty savior of the scene, he's made huge improvements to all three and isn't near finished! It'll be a cold day in hell when the oldschool dies!

    Actually MTA has been designed with dialup in mind.  GTA2 only runs at full speed on LAN/broadband and only if the ping is low.  GTA2 doesn't use much bandwidth but latency must be very low.

    That being said, I prefer GTA2 multiplayer and even when a 3D GTA multiplayer game is perfected, I will still want a better 2D GTA multiplayer.

      		Hi,

      I have a simple question and don't want to create a new topic:
      How can you change the car names in GTA 2, so that they are displayed in the game?

      I want to steel "Ferraris" and no "Rumblers"
