Quake3World

Where are ya?

Is there better LAN play, or just the crappy multiplayer from Burnout3?

There is multiplayer. I know you can do six people in multiplayer.
I think with the offline multiplayer there's a couple more options than the online play.

But if you're playing online look for SPDSTR.
I think I'm rank in the top 100 right now.

burnout 2 was the best ...... all the others have taken it too far.

They fix Kai yet?

Becuase it used to lag like fuck all.. XBC was always alot less laggy

Kai's been fine for the last few months. I play Halo2 with guys from FL, TX, CA, NJ up to 12 sometimes with little to no lag so far. I only play people in my list though not public arenas.

We may get a few 1 or 2 minute stints where it gets funky but for a few hours of game play it's worth it.

Are the Burnout games any good for Singleplayer folks?

Gran Turismo 4 was fucking lame sometimes...you have to play the same races over and over again to get decent cash, although it wasn't as bad as in Gran Turismo 3.

i don't like it as much as the last one.

why the hell did they take out the replay for the crashes???!! That was the most fun - watching the carnage from the different angles....

still a great game though.

EA doesnt believe in replays. that might take another 3 days of coding

Would you say it's good money to pick up Burnout 2 these days?
Cuz it's all there is on the Cube

i think it is

cool. I guess it shouldn't be more than €40 by now would it?

edit:
ej it's only €29,95

Got Burnout Revenge today , pretty awesome:
+ Looks excellent
+ Takedown camera has vastly improved
+ No DJ Announcer (thank christ) and the intro movies are easily skipped.
+ New game modes which are actually fun
+ Tracks have the "normal missionary route", but you can master it using the little ramps, tunnels, shortcuts etc., which is excellent.

- They changed Crash mode and it's shite now :\
- No 'skirmish'-type matches, you can only singleplay through the Challenge Circuit
- The car selection is wank now
- Track intros are shit
- Interface is wank

~ The EA Trax selection is too broad, from emo rock to almost-techno. Good, since you're not stuck with wank most of the time, but bad because not all of it suits.

Although Burnout 3 does some things like Crash mode better, I think Burnout 4 has become my new favourite

Also, I say wank too much

I think they tried to make the crash mode a bit harder by having a target car.
But I never really played the crash mode that much, only when I had to.

I like the shorcuts they have put in it.
Some can be extremely dangerous, especially on one track that I can't remember the name of.
It's nice to have little jumps here and there so you can gain some extra boost.

I didn't like the checking forward traffic part at first, but once I started to get into it, it was pretty fun.
Especially when you could check traffic and block a shortcut that your oppent might take.

There's even been a couple instances where the opponent has checked traffic and the friggin' car has landed right in front of me.
Good fun!
