Revision as of 21:56, 19 December 2005

The term "multiplayer" comes from the phrase "multiple players" and describes a game several people can play together. In some computer games, multiple players can play the same game together by connecting their computers together with a local network or by using the Internet.

The first two editions of GTA for the PC (GTA1 and GTA2) were released with multiplayer support. The most recent three editions for PC (GTA3, GTAVC and GTASA) were not. Various projects have been released or are being developed by fans of the GTA series to add multiplayer gaming to the three most recent editions. Some fans have created other projects to improve the multiplayer systems in the first two editions.

GTA 1

Was released with a multiplayer system by DMA Design (now called "Rockstar Games") but most players find it too difficult to use. It features two gameplay modes:-

  • Deathmatch - players kill each other by any means. The first player to reach the required number of kills wins the game.
  • Cannonball Run - players must drive through a series of checkpoints to the finish. The first player to reach the finish wins the game.

This edition allows 1-4 players in each multiplayer game.

GTA2

Was released with a multiplayer system by Rockstar Games which is an big improvement from GTA1. However, is still difficult to most users to set up games, especially those whose connections use a router. Deathmatch is the only mode present in GTA2 multiplayer, although fans have created new levels which allow gameplay similar to the Cannonball Run mode in GTA2.

There are two projects created by fans to improve the multiplayer system in GTA2. Both of these projects concentrate on making it easier to find other GTA2 players, as well create games and join games:-

This edition allows 1-6 players in each multiplayer game.

GTA III

Was released without multiplayer support by Rockstar Games, it only featured single player gaming. Projects which have been created by fans to bring multiplayer to GTA3 include:-

GTA VC

Was released without multiplayer support by Rockstar Games, it only featured single player gaming. Projects which have been created by fans to bring multiplayer to GTAVC include:-

GTA SA
