Don't understand what happened Tyler. You were cutting up and everything just seemed to be lagging. It's surprising though because I have upgraded my router and no one else was on the internet at that time. As you can see from my pics above, I'm always playing online with guys from NY,VA or WA without a single problem...maybe Forza is just against us.

I have no idea why the hell we can't play. When we are in a party, I can hear you just fine, but as soon as we get in any type of lobby or during the race, you are breaking up the whole time and your car is going all over the damn place.

I can play with Rhodes and anybody else just fine but I can't race against you. I guess we will never be able to see me spank your ass in my Enzo

cl: make sure your NAT setup is correct. also put your xbox in a demilitatized zone.

^I'll do that for sure.

I don't think downloading the new episode of Top Gear and 4 mixtapes while being on Acurazine and XBL helped my internet connection that much

nokiaman

Unless you've got Super-Ultra-Light-Speed or something, that must've been part of the reasons.

Definately, I was talkin to Faiz on AIM yesterday cause I saw him sign in to XBL he said he was racing with Tim. I need to get some cars first though. I played for like 4 hours yesterday I think my driving is at like level 10 or 11 so far.

Haha true true. I won't be on tonight, I've gotta get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning. I should be on tomorrow night about 10:30.

I took these last night:

Nice cars CL, I want some license plates lol

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Thanks!

I got mine from the Storefront. I just searched "North Carolina plate" and a bunch came up. I paid $1000 for my design I believe. I'm sure California will have a shit ton to choose from.

NightHawk CL9

I'll be on this evening, Nighthawk CL9 gamertag....if anyone wanted to add me... problem is I can't seem to find my headset....just got to level 26 last night. I must say that it has kept me more interested in the game then forza 2 did.

I'd be up for some online Friday night (9-11 or so).

phee

iTrader: (5)

is ur gamertag grumpy cochise?^^ ur always online

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

I really want to change my gamertag to my username here on AZ so people know who I am when we play but damn XBL wants 700 Microsoft Points to do it. Wtf?

If they didnt charge that much people would be changing their names all the time. especially little kids. What you can do is have people report your name as offensive enough and it will make you change it for free

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Very true. I never thought about that. 700cr is still a bit pricey though. I have 600cr left and don't want to spend more money

phee

iTrader: (5)

i can report your name ass offensive.

i cant believe nobody has reported my names

peedobehr gets lots of laughs

and sumhotnuts has a 100% avoid rate by other users.

but thats mainly because of halo and im an asshole

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

If you report my name as offensive, does it automatically make me choose a new one? How does that work?

CocheseUGA

Same as my AZ name. In fact, my PS3 ID is the same, too.

JRhodes88

iTrader: (2)

I think enough people have to report it. If it works when you sign in to Xbox Live it will force you to choose a new gamertag

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Well if yall don't mind, report my shit as much as you can so I can get a new gamertag for free!

JRhodes88

iTrader: (2)

actually after researching...I dont think that works anymore

ok so I have played a bit now, great game. Only thing that bugs me is the start of the race they show the same damn intro of your car everytime. Its getting old, it would be nice to see the other cars you are racing. I did my first drag race and I don't even know what car I am racing against! All I see is my car...kinda lame.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Well shit

I agree. It does get a bit repetitive.

AnthraciteAspec

iTrader: (6)

Thats pretty much my only gripe about the game, they could have at least spent a few minutes making a couple more cinematic intros. Maybe I am just spoiled by all the other racing games I have played.

nokiaman

While we're ranting, why the hell can't we paint OEM wheels? Many cars have gorgeous wheels I'd love to keep, but you can only paint aftermarket ones.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

probably because they talked to me about how much i HATE painted stock wheels..




jk

I agree with Mark though. It would be nice if we could paint the stockies on the cars.

Plus why isn't there a suspension upgrade for my Enzo? I want to slam the bish

AnthraciteAspec

iTrader: (6)

lol I tried to paint some stock wheels also, I forgot about that

as for the Enzo problem, I don't have an Enzo yet so that hasn't been an issue lol

Anybody else notice the pause on rpm's when the music is changing during a race?
Screws me up every time.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

they have rota wheels in the game.

i can't complain

AnthraciteAspec

iTrader: (6)

would be great if they broke on you while driving for that extra realism effect

SLushhYYY

Using my 4 wheel drive Nissan Silvia to get by the Type A races....things a beast.

Only 100k more until my MC12

You never know...they might change it down the road. If they were able to add the driver in the car shifting in an automatic update, they should be able to change the intros

Fanatec wheel will be here on Friday! The wheel stand is already here. It's very heavy.

I think Forza 3 is going to kill my xbox, the DVD drive is making weird grinding noises lol

install is to your hard drive so that the disc doesn't spin while you are playing the game
