What is SA:MP?
San Andreas Multiplayer (SA:MP) is a modification for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which turns it into a multiplayer game. You can play over the internet (or LAN) with up to 200 other people. You need the original Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PC game to play San Andreas Multiplayer.
In SA:MP you are able to do almost anything that you can do in single player GTA. SA:MP also features the ability to create your own scripted game modes. There are many game modes (listed below) that feature a series of different and fun things to do. Many of which are not possible in single player.
Gamemodes
For more detailed information, see Gamemodes
| Gamemode | Description |
|---|---|
| LVDM (aka Moneygrub) | Win this gamemode by being the player with the most money, obtained in any way you see fit. A popular gamemode on many servers due to its lack of any 'real' objective, making it a freeroam mode |
| San Fierro TDM | A Team Deathmatch based in San Fierro, where you must stick with your team to become the player with the highest score. |
| Rivershell | A water-based CTF gamemode, where your team must win by capturing a slow moving boat from the opposing teams base before they capture your team's. |
| Local Yokel SE | The same as Rivershell, but based on land using sports cars (the SE stands for sports edition) |
| Cops 'n' Gangs | Another CTF gamemode, this time between the Los Santos Police and the Grove Street Families - the objective vehicle being a slow-moving van. |
| Area51 | An Assault gamemode, where attackers must break into Area 51 (AKA Area 69) by parachuting while the military and scientists defend. |
| Freighter | A water-based Area 51, where Triads must break into a rival gang's (the Da Nang Boys') freight ship, using speedboats and helicopters. |
| Manhunt-LV | One person is chosen to be the 'hunted' person, while everyone else must chase him down and kill him. The person who kills the 'hunted' becomes the hunted himself. |
| LS Parachute | A fun gamemode with no objective other than to parachute off tall buildings - popular by people making gameplay videos |
| Minigun Madness | Another fun mode, made to give people a break from the standard objective-based modes. All the players are locked in a small compound in a free-for-all with only miniguns to defend themselves. |
| Monster | A freeroam mode where everyone spawns at the desert airstrip with only monster trucks for transport. Was popular during the private beta testing |
