Forza Motorsport 2: New DLC planned within 2 weeks

[race_invader]

How do you do that? all i do is just go into the multiplayer and then go onto xboxlive and create a lobby

[Lan.Evo.III]

When you're choosing options, down the bottom of the first options screen, there is Max. Players and Private Slots.
Simple.
Just look around for it.

Edit: I broke the 15,000,000cr mark.

[race_invader]

Ah yeah i found it now i totally missed that option. Holy shiznit thats alot of Cr... I still got my 500,000cr

[Lan.Evo.III]

I've been a millionare on this game since I got it pretty much. There was the first 3 days were I was broke as hell though.

[race_invader]

Hmm... What do you do now since you are a millionaire?

[Lan.Evo.III]

I prolong finishing the career by sitting in the paintshop, or drifting online.

[race_invader]

Cool, I normally watch the auction house now and then or mostly get more Cr

[Lan.Evo.III]

Same. I just bought a 750,000cr car.

[race_invader]

I want a V8 supercar replica

[Lan.Evo.III]

I have a full Holden Monaro replica. It even has a Monaro badge.
But I really dont see getting a V8 Supercar replica as a possibility, as there are no Ford, Pontiac or Vauxhall sedans in the game.

[TheStig]

My total winnings is like x over 10 million (excluding the bonus stuff ofcourse) so I am way past level 50 but I don't have much CR on my bank cause I spend it on cars mainly and now winnings go slow... cause when you finished the career you don't get as much from the races (no more bonus)
And the online races aren't big money winners also, I now won 700K in online races still have 300 to go to get the 1mil online credits.

[Lan.Evo.III]

My total winnings is 1,700,000cr.
See how totally awesome my bank is now?

[race_invader]

jeez... spare to give me some? Jk

[TheStig]

Honestly I don't care much about how much credits I got, as soon as I got all the cars I am happy cause I got all achievements

I spend most of my money eighter on cars or on upgrading cars
I don't visit the auctionhouse much, cause most people ask WAY to much for their cars and I don't care much about most paintworks

[Lan.Evo.III]

Turn10 has released some special edition cars.
I know of 2:
Mistubishi Evolution VI TME
Lotus Exige Espionage
The Exige is no longer available, and the Evo is still in the AH.
Edit:

[race_invader]

I swear i saw the car on the AH ages ago i was betting on that

[Lan.Evo.III]

I bought a heap of replicas.

[race_invader]

I wanna get more but its a waste since i need more cars to enter races... im back down to 300,000Cr since i brought a Ferrari Modena to enter a race it also need to be tuned to class S

[TheStig]

I found the Espionage also but didn't see anything special in it, so didn't bother to be bidding on something for hours before it finally ended.

That is btw 1 thing I don't like at all in the bidding system, the fact that the timer goes back to 2 minutes when someone is bidding. that way a bidding can last for hours as long as there are people willing to bid on stuff, as a seller it can be nice but as a buyer not so much.
A timer should count down and not stop till the time is up, and not go back to 2 minutes everytime someone bids when the counter is under 2 minutes.

[Lan.Evo.III]

Yeah, it's very annoying when you're trying to get a car that you want, and some p***k also wants it, then the timer resets.
Also, to update on the Espionage. It is a special limited Turn10 'Unicorn' car. They place 5 cars up for a 24 hour auction every day, these cars cannot be bought from other players, in the dealerships and cannot be gifted the only way to get them is through the AH.

Pitpass update!

the Forza 2 auto-update I discussed in last week's WPR has finally passed Xbox certification and will hit the wire sometime Monday (7/23). If you want to play Forza 2 on Xbox Live, you're gonna have to take this patch. Those of you who missed what we covered last week in regards to the auto-update, below is a detailed walkthrough of the changes. Keep in mind that this is the first of two updates we'll be rolling out to deal with a variety of exploits in the game that cheaters unfairly take advantage of and otherwise ruin a decent eco-system. To summarize, the patch going out on Monday takes us halfway there. Then after patch number two gets tested and put through cert, we remedy the more grevious glitches like car and money duping or auto-locking liveries when they go on the Auction House to stop the viral spread of inappropriate paintjobs.



Fixes going into Monday's auto-update are as follows:



* Deny gifting and reselling of cars with locked paintjobs. Why? Because this will help alleviate the problem where an artist's precious limited edition car gets duplicated and sold on the Auction House. The only way you can sell or gift a car with a locked livery is by being the original owner/artist of the car.

* A temporary ban on the Lotus Elan use on scoreboards and in multiplayer. Why? There is an error with the Lotus Elan's performance index calculation that puts the car at a lower class despite its capabilities, resulting in the Elan mass dominating the scoreboards in D and C class. This temporary ban will not allow you to upload lap times to the scoreboards when you use the car in career mode, and prohibits you from using the car at all in online races. When we roll out our permanent PI fix for the Elan in a future patch, we're going to lift the ban. Sorry for the draconian measure -- we really didn't like imposing this sort of restriction on the community but this is necessary.

* Allow cars to be fully rotated while being viewed in the Auction House. Why? Because so many of you asked for the camera to be unlocked in Auction House so you can look at the paintjob on the roof of the car we thought we should do good by the community.

* A number of scoreboard problems have been fixed. These range from the glitch where if the AI did not relinquish control of your car after the rolling start, you would inadvertently post a corrupt superhuman lap time in the micro-seconds, to several "extreme" physics bugs folks have been exploiting to get crazy fast lap times (lag crash boosting and the shifting glitch).

* Removed host's ability to boot players during a race. Why? Because this feature, although handy at times, was getting abused by hosts who kicked folks who were in the lead of a race where the stakes were high (i.e., credits were on the table). Don't worry, you can still kick people to your heart's content in the lobby.

* Miscellaneous fixes aplenty. Like what? Various discovered Auction House bugs that could potentially cause players to lose credits or cars. At least one triple-screen bug fix for sync'ing issues, as well as an undiscovered quickmatch bug that always connected you to the same game upon attempt.

Then there's the controversy from last week's hint that we may need to do a reset of all scoreboards because the various Elan/corrupt/exploit times posted were deep and widespread. Well, regardless of which side of the fence you stood in last week's debate, you may (or may not) be happy to hear that we've decided not to do a scoreboard wipe. Instead, we're working on a way to surgically remove invalid scoreboard times, which means that if you've posted times with an Elan, we're going to have to remove your entry all the same, but you won't have all of your times wiped -- just those you posted with the Elan.

I got the patch today!

[TheStig]

I'll download it today.

Seems like a good patch.
It looks like Turn10 is listening to their gamers, good to see they are working on the cheating with the Elan.

[master m]

I didn't know that the Lotus Elan was so good.
I'll have to buy it then.

[race_invader]

Nissan Tournament Pack
Contains the following cars:
2007 Nissan 350Z Grand Touring Coupe
2007 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE
2007 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V

Price: FREE

[TheStig]

I jsut downloaded the DLC pack.

And the Peugeot 908 HDI FAP is also availeble. it's not free but it costs 50 credits (Microsoft credits that is)

I just bought the 2007 Sentra but can't say I like the styling much it looks so "normal", the old Sentra wasn't a superb looking car but It had some tuning potential and could look pretty sporty. It would have been nice if they added that one aswell.
