UG Team announced that they have officially ended GTA Underground mode. GTA Underground San Andreas was a very popular mode that combined maps of Liberty City, Vice City, Manhunt and Bully into a single giant map.
The team deleted the mode from the sites it was installed on, particularly Nexus, and posted the following message: “We regret to announce that we have officially ended the development of GTA: Underground on the increasingly aggressive behavior towards the mod community and the dangers to our material and moral health. We will soon have deleted all our official uploads.”
If you recall, Take-Two recently declared war against various mod makers, allowing some of the most popular modes of games to be removed. GTA Underground was one of the projects targeted by Take-Two.
Take-Two recently sued the team that created the re3 project by reverse engineering GTA 3 / Vice City games. So it seems unlikely that anyone will take over the flag from UG Team.
