not trying to make an x/y thread. i just got back from 2 years of not play gtasa and i decided yesterday to start playing it again. Which online mod has a better community? which has fun and variety of gamemodes? google is not my friend when it comes to searching this...
I far prefer SA-MP just for it's community, there seem to be less annoying children on it and there are some brilliant roleplaying game modes. If you prefer normal racing then MTA is probably better and for deathmatches I can't really recommend one way or the other.
SAMP has the worst server browser ever. MTA is a lot better
SA-MP
Laterst version (0.3) is the most stable yet, and allows for 500 players and 2000 vehicles per server.
Also, i'm pretty sure SA-MP is the one with the best online community.
There is a lot of servers, and you'll find most categories you'd expect to find in for example Garrys Mod.
MTA is a lot better technically (GUI, hit synchronization), but SA-MP has a larger community

Therefore making it better overall.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;18931033]hit sync is a lot better which deserves a bit of credit, i have never got a kill with a weak weapon in sa-mp.[/QUOTE]
Your skill is probably a factor, not just the game.

Not necessarily, I've had a lot of problems with hackers and stuff in SA-MP, have yet to find one in MTA, and there are a lot of people that don't speak english in SA-MP.

And he's right, the hit sync in SA-MP is worse than MTA.
I've only ever use MTA.
They're both good. Sa-mp has a higher community and MTA has a better interface.
You can install both side-by-side on the same installation of San Andreas anyway. Won't hurt to give both a good try out.
(I prefer MTA, but come back to it in a few months or so when developers have had chance to make good gamemodes for it)
When I used to play MTA with a friend we were always perplexed at why half the players were Spanish speaking
Both fun. SAMP seems to favor the more ridiculous stunt driving servers, so I played it more.
Do they have any multiplayer mods that have NPC's just driving around?
[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;18934019]Do they have any multiplayer mods that have NPC's just driving around?[/QUOTE]
MTA can do that. They support NPCs and NPC inventory.
Wow and the poll's options are EXACTLY tied. Jesus
MTA has more support for some things than SA-MP, and SA-MP has more support for some things than MTA. They're both good, Have both.
SA-MP is good, but its like full of hackers, plus all those fucking laggers, you can't hit them, even though a sniper bullet to the head should have killed the fucker... when he was standing still, but warping all over the place... Crappy hit registration is crappy
[QUOTE=s0m3_guy;18934223]MTA can do that. They support NPCs and NPC inventory.[/QUOTE]
How do I add NPCs to my server?
For those of you that don't know SA-MP 0.3 improved sync by a bucket load, you can actually hit what you aim more often.
Also NPC planes/trains and plane/car surfing.
STOP

It generally comes to down to your preferences. SA-MP has a lot of driving competitions plus free-play.
MTA - SP focuses on free-play.
Only problem with both is that, don't expect free-play to be normal play. It always turns out to be a massive perpetuating death-match between gangs.
SA-MP generally for the Roleplaying Community,
MTA for racing and stuff like that.

Um, no. This is actually a decent poll.
I prefer MTA, because I've never figured out how to spawn vehicle's in SA-MP (If it's even possible). The spawn menu in MTA is really convenient, but if you're gonna play MTA, don't be surprised if someone spams RPG's up your asshole on the spawnpoint. That is annoying.
Judging from the poll they're equally good/liked.
SA-MP because it has more freeroam than MTA from what I've played and it has a better community.

How can it have more freeroam?
MTA SA even has spawning menus sorta like Garry's Mod.
B u m p'n
SA:MP for the community
MTA for the features.
I've only ever played SAMP, but I'll give MTA a try.
