Mindful of this, the makers of GTA United have pulled the mod offline. And though no one's entirely sure why Take-Two has enacted this now (it has yet to comment), some speculate it's either something to do with GTA Online's recently-released summer update, or perhaps a remaster or remake project that will see older GTA games released on current-gen systems.
Even HD texture projects such as Vice Cry were targeted.įrom what the modding community can gather, it looks as though Take-Two's lawyers are scouring modding databases for terms such as Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas. Mods such as GTA: Underground, and the 15-year-old project, GTA: Liberty City, were hit. Rockstar parent company Take-Two has issued a raft of takedown notices for GTA map mods in recent weeks. It remained available ever since - until now. Five years later, in December 2012, GTA United 1.2 was released. Then, in late 2007, the beta for a combined effort called GTA United was released.
The beta for 'Liberty City 2 San Andreas' came out soon after. The first beta of what was then known as 'Vice City 2 San Andreas' came out in early 2007. Work on the free, non-commercial mod began in 2006.
