MTA vs SA:MP

[Vinnie]

endless possibilities that will never really get capatilised themselves because barely anyone plays the damn thing :7
And most of these cool things you speak of don't mean anything to most of the public,just trivial things that add more unnecessary crap to a mod already hella buggy

Multi-Theft Auto has less limitations than SA:MP. Hitboxes are easier, easier to script, but more people seem to play SA:MP.

MTA > SA-MP

MTA has endless possibilites, better sync, headshots etc alot of cool stuff that samp doesnt have and will never have )))

Yeah the headshots are cool, all I do is just spray the body and if I manage to get a machine-gun bullet to the head they die instantly.

Downloaded it, looked good, but it was all laggy and shit my PC fails. Hardly any players but I went into this role-play server and the sync was cool xD

[Fireburn]

MTAA is awesome and has great features and possibilities, however there is no player base in there, while SA-MP has a much larger playerbase.

that ^

Yeah, scripting wise MTAA is much much better, but the metagame of it is much different to SA-MP mainly because when running around or whatnot feels so different compared to MTAA.

MTAA is probably more suited for roleplay servers since it has double/triple/quadriple amount of features compared to sa-mp, but since the feel of running about and much more simplicity of sa-mp, DM'ing is better on sa-mp which I think is the main reason for sa-mp having more players.

I remeber flying an infernus on one server, and being able to shoot all weapons from inside a vehicle while being able to aim ll around you also ruled o/

Lol I used to do that all the time with miniguns while in the BetaTeam.

MTA has more possibilities = has more potential, but sa-mp did more with "what its got."
MTA certainly had the potential to be far better than sa-mp but it just didn't deliver in the long run, however sa-mp fulfilled its limited potential.

If the sync was better in MTA (as it's meant to be) then I'm sure 90% of the fighting community would've moved there- as it is it's better for RP anyway.
