Map objects:
The whole city is filled with new facilities, from some cheesy dark alleys to a luxurious strip club VIP room to a modern office building.
Here is the full list of new cartographic items added to the game:
- Buildings added to the lawn in Portland View
- Buildings in Portland Harbor
- Beach in South Portland
- Small entrance construction site in Chinatown
- Small entrance office building in Chinatown (next to construction site)
- Hepburn Heights Basketball Park replaces the old Grass Hill
- Oil refinery added to North Portland
- New second, but still under construction, bridge between Portland and Staunton Island
- A small island with an abandoned mansion on it between North Portland and Staunton Island
- A new large alley in the Red Light District with a strip club next to it
- Modified Portland Rescue House
- The mansion from the first version of this mod is now on Staunton Island
- An abandoned factory (because the whole complex exploded) behind the Cochrane Dam in the Coastal Valley
- Large solid land north of Coastal Valley
- A fire escape that you can climb in the Staunton Island Rescue House, various details around the city
... and much more.
In addition, there are some objects with fixed collisions - this means that you can drive up to the Cedar Ridge Observatory, walk on the roofs of buildings.
Interiors: (these are also new map objects, but they are so special that they deserve a new list)
- SupaSave! interior with transparent, shattering windows and pediatricians inside
- A small cafe in Chinatown
- Punk noodle interior
- A strip club with an awesome VIP room inside
- A crappy old apartment building in Portland View
- Office in the Capital Autos building
And much more...
Textures:
Like the previous version of GTA3 Refesh, the mod contains HD textures from GTA 4, but this time there are many more textures scattered throughout the map.
New HUD system: Radar and health and armor meters are now combined into a new pager, shown on the top left of the screen.
Police Changes: The old 4-star Wanted Level SWAT has now been replaced by the LAPD Special Forces, riding around in Police Patriots and armed with M4 machine guns.
Guns are prohibited in Liberty City.
This means that when a police officer sees someone with a gun in his hand, he will try to arrest him or shoot him. So this means that when you want to show the cop how big your AK-47 is, he will beat the good out of you, but don't worry, other people with guns (gang members) will also get shot by the cops.
Cars:
- Infernus from GTA 4
- Cloverbach GT
- Saber Turbo
- Cuban Hermes
and many more...
Sounds:
- New sounds for cars
- New weapon sounds
- New city background sound.
