Quote from LFSn00b :After hearing so much shit about the MW2 online mode, I promised not to buy the game for it. Even my friend who has that game agrees it's horrid to have this kind of a system.

Which is sad for my cod4 clan though, because they like it and now they say cod4 is shit, and I'm most likely clanless on the COD4 scene again. :|

I might TRY the singleplayer mode though - because that does actually sound kind of promising and a nice filler after COD4.


/me sticks to COD4 online

MW2 online is pretty awesome. If anything I'd personally say its better than Cod4's online, it flows much better and if I'm honest I much prefer this style of "matchmaking". You end up always having a server with the right ammount of people, and it also eliminates the boring server list of doom, with 30 servers and you not knowing which one to join.

Plus, whenever you join a game you join it at the start, you never pick up where someone else left off or in a random battle like for example, CSS.

You really should buy it, its well worth the fun factor online even if your not in a serious clan, and clans do exist for it - I already know a lot of people who play 5v5 S/D.. etc.

Quote from BlueFlame :Bankrupts the whole countries YES, do you not see why this is a good thing? The bankers are hording so much money from the government, if all countries went bankrupt we could literally, START again. Anyway, we do need another World War, for the good of the people. It's not as stupid as it sounds, plus war is what we humans do instinctively to control the population. War is what we are made to do as humans. I don't really pay respect to those fallen in a war because to me, most of the people that join (after WW2) just wanna kill people and mess with guns or to run away from their situation or the country, not many people join the forces and say that the reason they did it was to defend the UK, come invasion. However I do pay my respects to families and widows who are left without income and a family member.

Have you ever even seen a war movie? Do you know how horrible, depressing, scary and gruesome it is?

Also, in your ideal world (war) would you be fighting? Or just sitting at home like the seemingly mentally unstable internet hero you are thinking that its a good thing.

My Grandad went to war, he didn't do it for the "fun" or just to kill people, he did it for his home country that he loves and was willing to protect with his life. I think you making silly childish assumptions totally ignores the fact that other people are different from the cold, sad and unintelligent mess that you are.

Quote from BlueFlame :Well I was talking about America, but I guess this is a thread for english veterans only, sorry to rain on your segregated parade

Either way, there's soon going to be a day where there are no WW2 veterans left, don't see the big deal, I bought a Poppy, most of the people on here that I offend every time I post probably didn't.

What this world needs is another world war, to stop these children from crying when their Nintendo DS gets taken from them, plus it would be good for the economy afterwards and most of the tension in the world will thus be released.

Yeah I agree this world needs millions more people killing for no reason.

Quote from BlueFlame :Sorry but WW1 veterans are NOT hereos, because they weren't conscripted, they faught cos it was advertized as a cool thing to do. It's their own fault they saw the things they did and got their legs blown off, their own fault for being so naiive.

Was this the war where men were forced to go off and fight? And if not they had to wear a diminishing, definately "uncool" badge that pretty much segregated them lower than dogs?

I added you to ignore about 2 years ago and you still manage to spew out such trollup.

Also a giant FML to all the people "flaming" world war one? This is a bloody rememberence topic now can we get back to doing that instead of argueing over it? Its unbeliveable how people act over the internet just because they can, if they said some of the things posted in here to a real war vet. Or a real family member, face to face, they'd probably get their heads knocked off.

Quote from hyntty : He didnt' mean that literally, it's partly an idiom...

I assumed it literal because I remember a bit discussion on here about people using the "death grip" quite a while ago!

Quote from theirishnoob :actually learning for yourself, you can Actually feel what the car is doing rather then looking, Though the spectator sees more of the game.... its better in real life: nothing compares to real life in fairness.

I think if he could afford to go out and buy a drift car and hire out a free track for the day he would - I wouldn't expect that for £24 though.

For a start your switching down to second gear when your going down the straight in fourth. You don't need to do that. Don't slide your car into the turn as much, just give it a tiny flick left and then right, and slowly start turning away from the inside of the turn, to counter steer. You should go on drift servers and watch how people do it.

Your not trying to use your speed to make the slide sideways with all wheels out of traction, Your more..... Doing a burnout at speed. The front wheels want to be going the same speed as your moving, and your rear wheels need to be spinning a lot faster so that you lose traction.


EDIT:

This demo is from about a year ago, you can see how I'm pointing the wheels in the direction I want to go around the corner, but giving the car a lot of throttle so that the rear end slides wide.

Regarding the white nuckle steering, your going to set much better times relaxed rather than gripping your steering wheel for all its worth. So you basically answered your own question.

Also, it could be to do with your tyre heat.

That's pretty hypocritical, considering the chances of you having never pirated anything are pretty low.

Quote from Intrepid :Wow some users of the LFS forum don't respect my views? Oh shit, really? How heartbreaking!

The simple fact to this whole episode is Simon Cowell is a freakin' genius. He has no musical talent yet has raked in millions of pounds because he knows how to play the system. How can anyone not admire how good Cowellis? He has stupid hair and an inability to dress like a normal human but he gets millions of people giving him their money every weekend!

Would you say Hitler was a good leader because he raked in the millions?

I can see what your saying that he's made millions and that must mean he's good, but I don't admire him.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Except I've heard that FM2's 'Ring wasn't even close to the Real thing by a friend who has GT4, FM2, and driven around the real track himself.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

The ring on FM3 is good, as is the one on FM2.

Quote from kamkorPL :Close call. Nice.

Btw, some more drifting gameplay, had request to record incar footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpyC-NGuXGA

It seems the ingame steering wheel stops turning at some point, even though i'm still turning it in real life.

Looks great, thanks.

You can countersteer much faster than we can with the pad, I think I'll definately have to look into getting a wheel.


I was going to have a go earlier at setting my xbox up to my monitor but then I realised I can't because the monitor has no sound output! I'd have to get one of those little boxes that you plug into the xbox control where the mic goes that has both a mic in/stereo output - although I'm not sure what the quality would be like.

EDIT: Just read up on those things and apparently you need a stereo output on your TV for it to work - Damn!

On the xbox - VGA cable I have there's two wires for sound output, there the big jacks though like this:



Anyone know a way I could connect those up to a normal pair of headphones with a 3.5mm jack?

FFS EDIT AGAIN:

I need to stop answering my own questions:

Cables go into this:


That goes into this:

Was in GAME today having a look at wheels, could only see the MS one but while I was there realised I had no space. I could move my xbox into my PC room and hook it up to my CRT - since it has 2 VGA ports and you can switch between them. Although I'm not sure how the resolution and graphics would be, this monitor goes up to like 1800 x 1400 so it could run HD, I'm not sure how it would handle it though.

My beautiful Lotus!

If your ever doing a C class championship and don't know what to use, this baby is brilliant. If you can somehow manage to get a race gearbox in there without going into B class (add weight I guess) it'll be the best damn car.

In the Kaido uphill series I was around 70th in the world for each race, in this stock car! Great fun to drive too, turns in so well - I thought it was FWD.

Quote from spankmeyer :What's wrong with it? I'm still an ass even if I had a better mic.

Oh and thanks for races tonight! The last Land Rover road movie was a bit too much though...

Last night someone said your mic broke when you stopped talking, so I was assuming that was the case!

Anyone tried a cheap wheel yet? I'm hoping there's a half decent one that provides much more fun than the pad.
