Also, some weapons, like the Sniper Rifle and the Rocket Launcher cannot be used in multiplayer. This feature was limited, in that both players had to stay within close proximity of one another.

The PS2 and Xbox versions of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas featured a co-op mode, which allowed 2 players to either 'free roam' or go on a 'rampage'. There is a video of the multiplayer menu here. The file american.gxt contains:įEN_NCI - 'NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET' Additionally, strings found in the game's GXT files suggest some of the modes and options that would have been available. One can view textures related to multiplayer mode menu screens in the file models/menu.txd, using a TXD viewer. The PC version of Grand Theft Auto III was at one point going to contain a multiplayer mode, however Rockstar cancelled this during development. GTA 2 features three different multiplayer modes, consisting of the existing deathmatch, as well as 'Tag' (players chase one player labeled as 'it' whoever kills 'it' becomes 'it' in turn, becoming the hunted), and 'Points' (where players attempt to rack up as much points or money in the same way they would in single player). The processes of creating and joining network games remained unchanged in the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 2, but the game comes with a more user-friendly, Windows-based 'GTA2 Manager' to manage and join multiplayer games. Having been based on GTA, the Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 and Grand Theft Auto: London 1961 mission packs employ the same multiplayer mechanisms, but allows the player to play multiplayer games in London, as well as Manchester for GTA London 1961. The choices of multiplayer modes in GTA is limited to only two: Cannonball run (a checkpoint race) and the traditional deathmatch. Multiplayer was originally standard in the PC versions of Grand Theft Auto, although the process of creating and joining servers requires manual identification of the one's IP address and also those of the playmates.
