I've got it, played it for 3 or so hours.. Didn't get bored of it, could have played insanely until the sun came up, but.. Just too tired.

Only had one quick chop of live, not much fun when you don't have a headset and your playing a mate that also doesn't have a head set. Thats on the agenda for tomorrow, pick one up so I can get that going.

Then as nerdy as it sounds, have to talk to my mates that have the game and try and get a clan formed, get a name for the Clan, and start hooking into live.

Don't know how far through I am in campaign, only just started and hit earth so I've probably got ages to go, damn good fun though, mmm sniper rifles.

Ahh, had my first decent session of live on it, 2vs 2, mates vs mates.. We played until 5.. I started after work, at 12:30.. And god damn I like it.. Time flew

We were mainly chopping capture the flag, some bomb one where you have to steal it and arm the bomb and another where you get a ball and you have to carry it for 2 minutes each to win. That one led to some exciting games, we won a couple by a second..Others were a walkover with them only getting 8 seconds etc. I'll be doing all the same again, hopefully we'll do us 4 vs randoms tonight.

haha you poor bastard, I've had a 12:30 til 5 session the first night.

Followed by a 7:30-4 session the next night.

Followed by 12-6 today.. and I'll be on tonight again, but hopefully not for long, I'm too tired.

Thats all in 3 days.

Umm, the levels are pretty sweet, theres only 10 or something so far, hopefully some new ones will get released as downloadable content eventually, but yeah, Midship and Beaver Creek, Burial Mounds are all good, theres another in the city with a bridge and alot of mid-air pathways etc.. Which is a good one aswell. But they are all 'fairly' decently sized for 16 people to be roaming around and not running into each other each second.

I just like the whole setup of being able to have a party setup, with 6 of your mates, and then being able to select what game mode, going to optimatch and it finds it and its setup and going. Only thing I'd want would be a retry button, instead of having to exit and re search.

Just an adsl or cable connection, network cable into the back of it, either a 2 month trial or a starter pack.

And if your playing with your mates, no doubt about it, you need a head set. Head gear as I call it, if your playing against people you know it sucks ass not being able to talk..

For example, one of my mates didn't have head gear, we kept on asking him questions knowing he couldn't answer, asking him if he was tapping his sack over the game, why has he gone so quiet etc.. All good fun, he never seemed to be doing much, but now that he's got headgear you can find out what he's up too.

I'm up to a stage on campaign where I've gone slack for again, I don't like being the alien dudes, I think their weapons are puss.

The alien weapons are OK, although I do hate it how you can't pick up more ammo for the beam weapons (eg. plasma rifle) The fuel rod gun is pretty cool, and so is the particle beam rifle but they use ammo up too quickly! Shotty still rules the Flood tho. And the Arbiter is da shiznit!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
