Sunday, March 23rd, 2008Two new San Andreas mods by Switch Designs
In the spirit of hiding things on Easter I decided to hide the Hydra jet.
This first mod will change your Hydra jet into a invisible Stealth Jet.
You can download it here.
The second mod will replace the cell phone that CJ answers and uses through out the game and changes it into a sweet new Apple iPhone.
With GTA4 coming out soon and Niko getting a new MP3 playing, PDA style cell phone in the game, I figured CJ deserved something special so he didn't feel left out.
You can download it here.
HAVE A HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Just one week after releasing the first developer preview of MTA San Andreas Deathmatch, the MTA team have already pushed out their second release of the mod!
So how's that for quick fixes and updates? I have updated our download page with this latest update, so you can get developer preview 2 of download MTASA Deathmatch here.
Visit MultiTheftAuto.com for more information on the mod, and for developers - the scripting wiki, where you'll find a wealth of information on developing gamemodes and maps for Multi Theft Auto with extensive documentation on over 800 scripting functions.
today we're releasing Developer Preview 2! As we said last week, we're focusing on fixing bugs, so all your new feature requests aren't in this release. That said, we've added a few new things to this release that you asked for - windowed mode for scripters being the most significant. We've also fixed about 17 bugs and made a few tweaks here and there and we've included some updated gamemodes and maps

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008First MTA San Andreas Deathmatch Client Released
It's been quite a long time since we've posted any news about the Multi Theft Auto Team and their efforts in making GTA: San Andreas a multiplayer game, but finally they've made a developer preview of the deathmatch client available to everyone. If you already play MTA you'll be aware that one of the major drawbacks is that it currently only functions as a racing mod - this one changes all that with the much anticipated deathmatch mode.
Since it's a beta mod and obviously still in development, bugs and glitches are to be expected, if you just want to get and play the game with others, head to the MTASA Deathmatch download page (which we'll update whenever they release new versions).
