GTA3 and Vice City now Online Multiplayer

glengineer writes "A deep bow and an "I'm not worthy" to Kent Simon, at the University of Kentucky, Ed Lyons in London, and Chris McArthur in Canada who have made the dream come true for GTA fanatics like me - GTA3 and Vice City online multiplayer! Now I can streetrace and play Liberty City Survivor with real people, not just use the "crazy pedestrians" cheat. Rockstar would be nuts not to hire these guys. So, anyone up for a deathmatch? Meet me at the Malibu Club in Vice, or the construction site on Staunton Island."

This isn't new, and it's been covered on Slashdot at least 5 times (possibly more, but Slashdot's search sucks and they don't set it up right to allow Google to index everything.)

Paul, just replace the subdomain in the url, and you can access it. I change it all the time so I don't have to see that godawful "It is what IT is" theme on it.slashdot.org. I just change it to hireadesigner.slashdot.org.

Hope that helps you get your games.slashdot.org fix at work.

Previous new posts on the MTA:VC site indicated that they had support from Rockstar in developing it.
