Well, if anyone is making a serious review they will definitely review how it is to be a new player. It'd be hard for a regular to pretend they don't know anything about the server though.
Show contentMy review...Welcome to CIT. CIT is a MTA Server different from every single other server. Here, you can have a "virtual life". You can have a job, you can marry, you can be in a group (many consider their group as their family), you can have a car... It's a perfect life. It's like a second world. Once you register in the server, you can choose between 3 sides: Criminal, Civilian, Law Enforcer. There are several activities in the 3 teams:As a Criminal, you can rob houses, rob stores, kill cops, craft drugs and the main criminal activity: Turf Wars; To participate in Turf Wars, you need to be in a group. The place where the wars take place is in Las Venturas, the whole city. There are small turfs for over the city which should be taken by groups. To take a turf, you should stay inside the turf with your group members and you're supposed to be there until the "Turfing Counter" reaches 100%. Of course that the other groups will try to attack your turfs and you're supposed to defend them by going back to your turf and killing your enemies so you can put it again in 100%.As a Civilian, you can work in several jobs. There are many jobs just like in real life: Pilot, Taxi Driver, Fisherman, Miner, Farmer, News Reporter and Lumberjack are some of them. You should go to the job marker which will be in a specific place, you should take the job and follow the instructions in order to succesfully work. You'll get good money by doing it.As A Law Enforcer, you're supposed to keep the server clean from criminals. For each activity that criminals do, they'll get "Wanted Level". That "wanted level" is what makes them able to be arrested by cops. Cops should use their nightstick and beat 3 times in a criminal in order to arrest them or they can just kill the criminals with their guns. Ingame, you'll have access to several shortcuts (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12). F1 - Opens the Server Rules and Information. F2 - Opens the Vehicles System Panel. F3 - Opens the Squad Panel. F4 - Opens the Drugs Panel. F5 - Opens your current job panel. F6 - Opens the Group Panel. F7 - Opens the Market Panel. F8 - Opens the MTA Console. F9 - Opens the CIT Chatrooms System. F10 - Opens the Advertisement Panel. F11 - Opens San Andreas Map. F12 - Takes a screenshot which can be found in MTA Folder.Now, I'll talk in detail about every system in CIT:The Vehicle System is one of the best systems in CIT. You can buy your own car/bike/plane/heli/boat in a shop and you'll be able to spawn it and hide it whenever you want. To access these abilities, you just need to press F2 when you're ingame and if you have any vehicle, you'll be able to spawn it in the last place you've hidden it. Once you spawn it, you're able to drive it. When you don't want to drive it anymore, you should press F2 again, select your vehicle and click in "Hide" or simply do /hide in the mainchat ('T').The Group system is, in my opinion, the best system in CIT. You can create a group by pressing F6, you'll see a box to type your group name and you can create it. Once you do it, you can invite people to your group, you can promote them to a better rank, you can warn them, you can demote them and you can even kick them from your group. Remember that to turf, you should be in a group. If your group is active and has good members, you'll be rewarded with the possibility to apply for a base. Your group can have an own place, a base where you can have meetings or simply have fun with your group members. Criminal groups must have their base in LV. Law and Civilian groups must have their bases in LS/SF. There are 3 types of groups: Community Groups, Semi-Official Groups and Official Groups. Community Groups are the groups that just got created, they'll need to wait some time to prove themselves and to show that they deserve some perks like a forum board, a base and car spawners. Semi-Official groups are the groups that have all these perks (forum board, base, car spawner, health marker...). Official Groups are the oldest groups in the community. There are only 13 official Groups. Official Groups have all the perks of a semi-official group and they also have perks like "group job", special interiors in their bases, armor pickups, base respawn when their members die, armed vehicles (for law groups)...If you're in a group, you can have an alliance with another groups. It's usefull to Turf Wars. You'll be stronger. You just need to use /alliance and you can create one and invite another groups to your alliance.Squad System is exactly like Group System but there is 1 simple difference: You can't turf with it.The Drugs System is great. There are (LSD, Weed, Speed, God, Steroids, Heroin and Mescaline). LSD will allow you to view everything through walls, Weed will make you jump higher, God will increase your lifebar from 100hp to 200hp, Steroids will give you 2hp each 8 secs, Heroin will give you semi-invencibility which means that you'll take less damage if someone shoots at you, Mescaline is the drug you should use if you want to check what's happening around (you just need to take a hit of Mescaline and you'll see everything just like you see when you're in MTA Map Editor). You can get drugs by attending criminal events (I'll talk about them later), robbing houses, buying it and even by crafting.There's a Market. The place where everyone is able to buy/sell stuff. You just need to press F7 when you're ingame and you'll see a list of items that you can buy, such as drugs and weapons.The CIT Roomchat system allows you to be in a chat room with many players. You just need to create a chat room and you can invite whoever you want. There's only one problem with that system: You can only be in one room.If you want to sell or buy something, there's nothing better than the Advertisement Panel. Why would you spam the chat and disturb the gameplay of the other players if there's a specific place to advertise? Yes, you just need to press F10 and there will be a list of every single advertisements. To add one, you just need to type your advertisement in the box and click in "Add". To remove it, double click in the advertisement.Criminal Events: Frist of all, what's a criminal event? Pretty simple. A criminal event is a robbery. Criminals will fight cops. Criminals are supposed to hold the checkpoints for 6 or 8 minutes (it depends on the event) and kill the cops, once they successfuly hold it for 6 or 8 minutes (it depends on the event), they can escape. Cops are obviously supposed to kill the criminals. For each kill, the killer will receive 4000$, 20 hits of each drug and cops will also receive money because they arrested the criminal.There are 7 Criminal Events (Bank Robbery, Drug Factory Robbery, Pollice Department Raid, Mad Dog's Mansion Robery, Drug Shipment, Aircraft Carrier Assault, San Fierro Bank Robbery):BR: Once the event starts, criminals will have to hold all the checkpoints for 8 mins. Cops are supposed to kill the criminals and to avoid criminals to hold the checkpoints. The event takes place in Los Santos Bank and it's in a mapped interior.DFR: Once the event starts, criminals will have to hold all the checkpoints for 8 mins. Cops are supposed to kill the criminals and to avoid criminals to hold the checkpoints. The event takes place near Jefferson and it's in a mapped interior.PDR: Once the event starts, criminals will have to stay in the event area for 6 mins. Cops are supposed to kill the criminals and to rush inside the area to kill them all. The event takes place in Dillimore and it's outside.MDM: Once the event starts, criminals will have to hold all the checkpoints for 8 mins. Cops are supposed to kill the criminals and to avoid criminals to hold the checkpoints. The event takes place next to BR, in Mad Dog's Mansion and it's in a mapped interior.DS: Once the event starts, criminals will have to stay in the event area for 6 mins. Cops are supposed to kill the criminals and to rush inside the area to kill them all. The event takes place in the big ship in LS Docks.ACA: Once the event starts, criminals will have to stay in the event area for 6 mins. Cops are supposed to kill the criminals and to rush inside the area to kill them all. The event takes place in the San Fierro Navy Ship, next to SFPD.SFB: Once the event starts, criminals will have to hold all the checkpoints for 8 mins. Cops are supposed to kill the criminals and to avoid criminals to hold the checkpoints. The event takes place in San Fierro Bank and it's in a mapped interior.CITPhone: When you're ingame, if you press B you'll open the CITPhone. This phone gives you access to many features in the game.Camera: You can take some pictures around, but it's just for fun.Notes: Really useful to take some notes (as the name says). Your notes will be saved even if you logout.Clock: Here you can see the current time (in real life) and the date.Caluclator: Pretty useful if you want to make some counts. Just like in real life... it's a calculator.Send Money: By clicking here, you'll have a box to type the name of a player who's online and you'll have another box to type the amount you want to send.Weather: Here you can see how the weather is... ingame.Mark Players: Here you can type the name of a player you want to mark. If you mark someone, he'll have a blip in your F11 map so you can know where he is.My House: Here you can see your houses. You can also blip your houses in your F11 Map if you want to know where it is.Lottery: Here you'll have a box where you'll type a number (1-20). It's like the lottery in real life. Everyone can play. Each ticket costs 5000$.Criminal Events: Here you can see the criminal events order and in how many minutes it'll start.Citbook: It's like the Facebook but in CIT. Once you click here, you'll see a panel and you'll be able to add friends and you can chat with them in /fmsg.Translate: A simple translator where you can translate words from a language to another one.SMS: This is how you communicate with another players. You need to type their name in the box and there will be another bo to type your message.Radio: If you click in here, you can select a radio to listen to music. Those are real radios.Call Service: If you need some help from any law enforcer, paramedic, some ride from a taxi driver, you can ask for it by clicking in there.Settings: It'll open a big GUI where you can see and edit all your ingame settings.My opinion... The server is extremely good. As you've seen in my review, the only thing that should be added, in my opinion, is a the ability to be in more than one chat room. Maybe a new chat room would be the best solution as the Chat Room Management is also kinda bugged (you can't see who's online - I guess that the bug has been reported before). This is my own review, I know I didn't talk that about Civilian Jobs but that's because I don't play as civilian, maybe someone who plays as civilian might make a better review about Civilian Jobs. I hope I have done something good... it took me about 1h30 to write everything.Regards,Luther.
quit banning and punishing people from trivial things.
One last thing, please care more about the F1. It is often outdated
It's based on a game that is released a decade ago.
