Ill be in for this... I am buying the entire car pack. Who shoudl I add to my friends list to be in on this?

Amen to that. It's like the blind leading the blind when I follow you around Paradise City. :lol:
Fun times last night. Sorry I had to hop out. Burnout used to never make me sick, but both times I've played it since doing the update patch have set-off my simulation sickness. I wonder if there is any way that Sony would let me take the patch off if this continues?
Go pick up some ginger pills. Some FPS games and burnout use to make me sick too. A friend who was on a cruise suggested ginger pills for motion sickness. I take one about 30 minutes to an hour before gaming and I can play all night without any issues.
Anyone interested in taking the new cars out for a spin tonight? 8 flying cars with 10 ft flame trails has got to be a cool sight to see.

Anyone intending to play online today? All I need is the 8 people in Wildcats stadium trophy and then I get platinum. Everyone online is too fickle to even do this anymore :/
tenchi
02-19-2009, 09:47 PM
I'll be online playing around with the new cars and doing showtimes. Not sure if you'll get a full 8 players other than during sundays though.

Yea, I'm not all about the trophies for this game, it's just hella fun, but sometimes looking at that list and seeing this as the one thing I haven't done, it just kinda bugs me as a gamer ;)

I will play this Sunday.....maybe even host if I need to.
KingBroly
02-19-2009, 10:22 PM
Okay, after much thought, I'm going to be using the DeLorean this Sunday. Why? It's quite possibly the fastest car in the game while in Hover Mode and boosting. Seriously, you can get a Triple Barrel Roll on that bridge south of Paradise Blvd. Also, when the Ecto-1 and Bootlegger both crash while your sounding their horns, well...let's just say it's funny.
I'm hosting starting @ 6pm on Sunday.

im guessing you cant play with people that have the dlc, if you do not. they should have made it possible, perhaps just show a different car model instead :\ Guess i cant play anymore because im not paying $4 for a car........or more for the bundle

No, I'm pretty sure you can play with those who have the car models. I'd say the new cars were in the most recent patch, buying them only unlocks them. It's like the Retail Unlockable cars, the data is there, you just can't use it unless you had the unlock code.
Inf^Shini
02-19-2009, 11:54 PM
You can play with them, I am right now. One has an awesome horn :P
tenchi
02-20-2009, 09:01 AM
The new cars are a blast to drive.
The P12 Special is a beast at barrel rolls. I did a triple role off the jump by the quarry without too much trouble. The problem is when boosting, it's practically impossible to control because it's going so fast. Don't use this car in marked man races though, I hit the ghostbuster car at full speed and still wasn't able to take it out :P
The Nighthawk was disappointing at first but it's great car to use on marked man runs. It drives like a tank and has the fastest acceleration of any car, I just wish it as the flashing lights on all the time instead of just during boosting.
KingBroly
02-20-2009, 11:29 AM
I'd definitely say that the Delorean and the Ecto-1 are the 2 best cars in the set.
guardian_owl
02-20-2009, 01:06 PM
Delorean is definitely the best, even if it didn't have the hover mode, it's fast and quite maneuverable. Calvary BootLEEger is alright...it's kinda slow but handles well. Echo-1 I need to play around with a bit more. but it seemed to handle pretty well for a big tub. Nighthawk I was surprised at how often I seemed to be wiping out from rear collisions so I'm not sure I believe it's strength rating. The base version of the car is my favorite stunt car so I imagine I'll warm up to it eventually.

If anyone needs help with trophies or just want to play BP, hit me up, I generally play BP when I am on the PS3. User ID is snoozer. See you in Paradise City!

I'm hosting starting @ 6pm on Sunday.I thought from the videos that criterion put out that the knight rider car was the fastest. Sunday at 6.. dude. I should really get on this game the few hours I played were awesome and I joined on of KB's matches and it was wicked fun.

Does the Gener- erm, "Bootlegger" have that horn? If so, will buy. Also same question for the Ecto :P
KingBroly
02-21-2009, 06:01 PM
Yes, it does. And as far as the Ecto-1 goes, it's a generic siren really.
The Mana Knight
02-22-2009, 12:42 PM
I should be on today. If another room is needed, I can look into it; otherwise, I'll be in KingBroly's room. :D

i might be showing up today, not sure for how long tho.
KingBroly
02-22-2009, 06:30 PM
I've decided to open up the room just a little bit early today, so if you want to come on into Burnout and I see you come on, I'll send you an invite.
Remember, Legendary Cars are preferred, but not required to play :)
The Mana Knight
02-22-2009, 07:01 PM

Hmm, for some reason I thought we were supposed to meet at 5 pm PST. My bad. I'll try to make it next week.
btw, is the time for these CAG nights moved to 3PM?

sorry about flipping everyone off. I just get so mad when i get HIT!!!!
No worries. I thought it was kinda funny. I don't deliberately run into people so those hits were accidental. Unless someone hits me first on purpose, then it's ON! :)
Sorry about sucking badly at that last barrel role challenges. Sometimes I can land them flawlessly like in the quarry, I did a double roll on the first try and other times I suck ass.
pete5883
02-23-2009, 09:25 AM
We learned that the DeLorean is amazing at barrel rolls. In the airfield, I could land a small barrel roll on one ramp, and then immediately do another one from the second ramp. Getting through the grey hoop was still kind of hard, but I think it's probably your best bet for anyone having trouble with barrel rolls. Certainly better than the General Lee.
KingBroly
02-23-2009, 12:52 PM
I managed to do a triple barrel roll with the Ecto-1 last night. As for the airfield, I've done that with the GT Concept before.
sotc1988
02-23-2009, 01:35 PM
Didn't make it because I'm a little tired of the game. I'm going to play once big surf island comes out at an over-priced point. I just need some more land and area and races to play in. Hopefully there will be a cheaper dlc bundle by then.
KingBroly
02-28-2009, 06:16 PM
I can't host Burnout this week. The next time I host will most likely be when the Toys/Boost cars are released.
The Mana Knight
02-28-2009, 07:15 PM
Thanks for letting me know, I'll update the thread.
option.iv
03-01-2009, 04:00 PM
I was kind of looking forward to playing this weekend, despite not buying the extra cars. If anyone decides to host last minute, I'm definitely up for playing.
KingBroly
03-01-2009, 10:33 PM
Hey, other people can host on Sundays. I don't know why it has to go through me every week. My internet's been getting shakier and shakier as of late so I don't know if mine will be able to bear it much longer. Personally, when the Toys/Boost/Island stuff hit is when I'll host next, but after that...maybe every 2-3 weeks or so.
Well, when the Island hits, I plan on doing a month of Big Surf Island (4 weeks).
nbballard
03-02-2009, 04:05 PM
I came late to this game, and need to get a lot of the online trophies. Next time there is a game night, can you guys help me out? Specifically the 7 cars in Wildcat stadium deal, and the "invite a friend" trophy. To be honest, i haven't taken the game online very much at all, so i'm sure i'm missing more than that.
Wolfkin
03-02-2009, 08:11 PM
heck why not I doubt I'll be doing anything on sunday I might as well try out some online. this sunday if you see me online and I'm not playing Burnout let me know.
KingBroly
03-03-2009, 02:06 PM
Okay, so...Toys hit tomorrow. But I'm not going to host. Someone else is going to have to do it I'm afraid. When the Boost cars hit, that's when I'll host next.
Wolfkin
03-03-2009, 03:06 PM
i should probably spend some time with the game earn some more cars for sunday. I don't know about the rest of ya'll but I'm just chilling on the same 10 cars here.
nbballard
03-05-2009, 11:37 PM
toy cars are nice!
tenchi
03-06-2009, 12:33 PM
I've been playing killzone 2 pretty much exclusively lately. I'll probably get the toy cars when my killzone time goes down.
The Mana Knight
03-06-2009, 01:13 PM
If there is anyone who wants to host a game on Sunday, I'll update the thread title. I probably won't play on Sunday either. I do look to host again sometime in the future no doubt.
KingBroly
03-07-2009, 10:15 AM
I wasn't thinking about getting the Toy Cars, but after looking at them...hmm...

KingBroly
03-07-2009, 01:47 PM
The next CAG Burnout night will be when Criterion releases the Boost car DLC, so...2 weeks if this is their schedule for the DLC.
I'm guessing it'll be Bikes, but I'm not sure.

03-07-2009, 11:23 PM
Man those toy cars are freaking expensive. I kind of understand the legendary cars since they are brand new vehicles but these are cars in the game already just reskinned! I'm not buying any of the dlc until they price it better.
finsfan0210
03-08-2009, 12:11 PM
i got lucky and got the wildcat and 10 mile w/ 8 players trophies so i'm on my way to the platinum now but i still want to play on cag nite sometime soon

They aren't just reskinned. The dynamic of the game changes a little bit when toy cars are involved. They control totally different than their large counterparts, and they are smaller, so they can weave in and out of traffic better. They spin out a lot easier, and they crash different ( think running a hotwheel into a wall- not a lot of damage and a lots of "driveaways")
Wolfkin
03-08-2009, 03:18 PM
bah. I was all set to try to host tonight but my nephews called me so I'm gonna head over there and play with them. I doubt I'll be back for 6pm but depending on how long it goes on I'll join in later. I'll definitely play tonight. I got 3-4 cars to shutdown. I've been spending too much time trying to beat time rules. I just got really annoyed at seeing KingBrolys times scrolling across my screen.
KingBroly
03-09-2009, 05:23 PM
Boost Cars are being released Thursday...Criterion really wants to take over my life it seems.
Sunday
6pm - 7pm EDT
Cars [Will get on earlier if people want to do Toy Bike Trophy Boosting]
KingBroly
03-12-2009, 08:03 PM

Can we go for the wildcat stadium trophy on sunday? I know i'm late to the party, but i'd be really helpful!
KingBroly
03-12-2009, 10:26 PM
Well, usually the tradition is once we get 8 people we go to the Stadium (specifically for that Trophy), otherwise we don't.

I might be in Paradise this Sunday, how can I be down?
TctclMvPhase
03-13-2009, 04:32 PM
I am down for this I am going to set an alarm now. Should I just add you to my friends list KingBroly?
I already have the wildcat trophy, but I am down for that. I was hoping we could do the timed car challenges. I need all ten timed challenges, plus some time in between to change up cars and get some of the other trophies like the three boost types in the Mech.
Id like to do the bike ones as well, but I hear doing the bike trophies before the car trophies can mess up your chances of getting the freeburn and timed challenge trophies.
KingBroly
03-13-2009, 04:43 PM
That's usually how it works. It's much easier for me for others to send me friend requests mentioning Burnout in the Friend Message. It also shows me you're interested.
ArJay2k8
03-13-2009, 05:19 PM
Hey Broly I'm gonna send you a friend request here in a minute. I'd like to partake in this as well. My PSN so ya know is ArJay2k8.

oh BTW TMK, you can probably remove the "(Not 3/1)" line from the thread title ;)
KingBroly
03-13-2009, 06:30 PM
Okay. I'll accept it when I get on. I know this week I said we'll do cars, so...next weekend (Not this weekend), I'll be hosting Bikes. So...the upcoming schedule is as follows:
Sunday, March 15th @ 6pm EDT - Cars
Sunday, March 22nd @ 6pm EDT - Bikes
I won't be doing the toy bike boosting before this week's cars event unfortunately because of this. Don't worry, though, you can get it during next week's event.
sotc1988
03-13-2009, 06:56 PM
I'll be there. Maybe get some more freeburn/timed challenges.
KingBroly
03-14-2009, 06:15 PM
Okay, so...tomorrow is going to happen. I'm going to be starting in the Mountains. I've sort of planned a few challenges for tomorrow, and we'll start there.

Can we do at least 1 Timed Challenge to get the Hunter Mech trophy?
KingBroly
03-15-2009, 03:43 PM
I guess we can. I only plan on doing Trophy whoring per requests, unless it's meet up in the Wildcats' Stadium (because that one's different).
EDITED for a shameless plug: If you want to check out what I think of the DLC, check out my latest blog entry. You'll be shocked @ #2. But it's just my take on it.
evergoo
03-15-2009, 05:10 PM
Just sent you a Friend Request, KingBroly.
I practically have all the offline trophies, but don't have a single online trophy. :(
Also, do CAGs usually play with their headset and/or PSEye on? I have both and was curious.
Lastly, I posted in your Burnout blog entry. :D
KingBroly
03-15-2009, 05:13 PM
Most of the players use headsets while playing. Sometimes there are players that don't have headsets, but those are the players you can trust to get the job done when it comes to Challenges, especially the timed ones. So if you're unsure about something, it's best to have a headset so you can be guided about what you need to do.
ArJay2k8
03-15-2009, 05:26 PM
Just so you all know, I don't have a headset myself. Hope that won't be an issue. As for online trophies I'm all for getting them, as there's still a few I need (Wildcat, Red and Blue Teams for Road Rage, and the Timed Challenge ones.)
Oh and where's your blog Broly?
KingBroly
03-15-2009, 05:29 PM
You click the 90 under my avatar.
No Headset isn't a problem (Bluetooth Headsets are really cheap, you know), but I personally prefer them. Also keep in mind that sending messages slows everything down.
ArJay2k8
03-15-2009, 05:32 PM
Yea I found your blog right after I posted....good stuff.
As for a headset I plan on buying one soon, just haven't had the chance yet. Keep in mind I've only had my PS3 about 2 months lol.
MisterBee
03-15-2009, 05:49 PM
I would love to join in tonight. I'm up for whatever since I don't really care about trophies. I'll never get platinum simply because I don't own a usb camera to get the stupid picture taking trophy.
KingBroly
03-15-2009, 06:03 PM
Well like I always say if you want to play send me a FR with CAG Burnout in the message.

S'all good man. Thanks for having me Broly, it was fun. Got myself a few trophies I didn't have, thanks for that. I know next week is bikes, but anyway the next time we do cars we can do some road rage? So I can get the trophies for being on the red/blue teams? Also, I'm def gonna look into getting a mic sometime either this week or next. Sucked being the silent one lol.

03-15-2009, 10:20 PM
good times- someone's mic was giving me a TON of static, so i ended up just turning my volume down.
Got all the trophies I needed tonight (all that's left is Stunt challenge, and 10+ timed challenges). Looking forward to bikes next week.
sotc1988
03-15-2009, 11:01 PM
Make sure you get the ten timed before you do any bike challenges otherwise the trophy will never unlock. I had to back up my save file and then start a new game, get 10 timed challenges, and re-upload my save after I got the trophy. Quite the hassle.

so wait- what do i have to do again?
I heard that there was also a glitch related to the Legendary car trophy for Kit.
Just saving my save to a USB drive, deleting the system save, and replacing it with the old on?
What about copying it from 1 user to another?

I think I have that glitch, I've gotten at least a 3x Burnout with Kitt several times and still don't have that trophy. Anybody know a way to fix it?
Also, I don't have 10 online timed challenges yet, I might skip out on next weeks bike run if I don't have them by then. I'm free all week basically so if anyone on here from tonight wanna help me get 9 more...Just message me on PSN with some times that are good for you if you can. Thanks ahead of time.

If you are referring to downloading someone else's save, that won't work because Criterion designed the save file to only work with your psn user id. I just put my save on a usb stick, deleted it off my ps3, and then got the trophy with a new game file, deleted that one, and re-uploaded the original save off my usb stick and it was totally fine. But if you haven't gotten any bike challenges than it should totally work without having to do any of that.

I think he was referring to the fact that on the PS3 if you have more than one user account, you can back up the save to a different account and then transfer it back...no need for a USB drive. However, I don't think that will work. I tried doing that in LBP and it will still think youre trying to use someone else's save and thus disqualify you from future trophies.
On another note, thanks to Broly for setting that up. I think the static may ahve been me, I am using the PSEye and I don't think I have the settings correct. I am going to try to meet up with ArJay2k8 during the week to knock out the timed challenges so I can be there for the bikes next week. If anyone else would like to partake just send a PSN message to either of us.

Also TctclMvPhase just message me with a time (If you haven't already) and we can get going on that. I don't care who hosts tbh, I need the trophy for invite, but It'd prolly be better if you hosted until I get a mic. nbballard I'll be on tonight for the most part minus from 9-11:15 (Raw lol) and Wednesday should be good too.

I originally heard about the save/swap concept in relation to the KITT glitch. So I would imagine it works. It can't hurt though. If I get a chance, I'll try it tonight (although I'm kind of scared to do it...)

Just tried the save/swap trick and it worked like a charm. Got the trophy the first time I got a Burnoutx3.
TctclMvPhase
03-16-2009, 02:16 PM
Im glad to hear it works. I am missing a few early trophies as well (D License, 10 Gates, First Super Jump) but was afraid to swap for obvious reasons.
@ ArJay2k8: I haven't sent you a message yet, but I will as soon as I get home. Tonight is my best night so Ill add you and nbballard ASAP, I get home about 5PM EST. I will try to get my mic to work so that I can host. If you want to send me an invite right away, I believe I can just decline and it still counts for the trophy.
nbballard
03-16-2009, 02:46 PM
I usually get home around 6pm CST. My wife is going to have a friend at the house tonight- and they will definately be using me gaming TV. I don't know how long that will last though. If I can get on, and see anyone else, I'll definately jump into a game.
ArJay2k8
03-16-2009, 03:32 PM
Yea Phase, I was a little worried myself, but all went well. Right now I just got all roads ruled with the Bike, so all I need for 101% for that is the online challenges. I'm gonna switch back to a car though and try and get the last 7 Road Rages I need for Elite.
Ballard, Knowing me I'll be off and on for the most part of the day/night, so even if Phase is gon by then we can work on some 2 player challenges whenever you do sign on, if you want.
nbballard
03-16-2009, 10:01 PM
thanks for helping guys- i got 6 of 10 timed challenges, i should be able to pick the other 4 up some times this week. I tried to go into a random room and grab them after you guys went offline- but those guys weren't trying to do the challenges.

You don't need online challenges for 101% Bike. You just need all Paradise Awards.

Thanks to ArJay, Mister and nbballard for playing tonight. After playing I went back and did the save game swap to clean up the last of my trophies for the platinum. Now Im all set for this Sunday's motorcycles.
I usually play something on PS3 for an hour or so each weeknight so feel free to message me for more multi.

I got all the paradise awards and the platinum paint for the cars and all the races for the bikes but my stat shows 100%. Are there specific paradise awards for just the bikes to get to 101%?
pete5883
03-17-2009, 10:14 AM
Don't you need 2 categories of Freeburn Challenges done to get 101%?
ArJay2k8
03-17-2009, 12:29 PM
101% for Bikes is..
All road rules, day & night, all burning rides & midnight rides and 2 sets of multiplayer challenges.

03-17-2009, 12:34 PM
Will there be bike challenge time during the next cag burnout night? If not, anyone interested in doing some with me some night?

i think Sunday is supposed to be all bikes, all the time.

i am definitely down for some burnout during the week. i might even want to do some tonight.

I'll probably be on tonight as well. Whoever hosts feel free to add/invite me. ArJay2k8
Ugh I tried to figure out what hz my tv is but the specs online didnt say. It's a 32in Westinghouse (Crap I know lol)

It is with sad duty to report that I will not be able to host CAG Burnout this Sunday, or the following Sunday. The reason being is that I'm going on vacation for the first time in 6 years.
So let me put it more bluntly: CAG Burnout Bikes is delayed by 2 weeks, unless someone else wants to host.
The Mana Knight

tenchi
03-20-2009, 12:29 PM
Since Kingbroly can't host, I may be able to host a bike only game this sunday, but will probably be much earlier in the day. Most likely around noon EST for 1-2 hours doing challenges both timed and not. Anyone interested?
ArJay2k8
03-20-2009, 12:55 PM
Yea I think I can make that.
nbballard
03-20-2009, 01:09 PM
hum... that might actually work better for me. I can't play for long on Sunday (have to attend a birthday party)
I only need 2 more bike challenges for the trophy- so i might pop in if I have a minute and it isn't full
ArJay2k8
03-20-2009, 01:57 PM
Myself I haven't even played online with the bike yet. So I need all the bike trophies lol. Can we use the toy bike for this? Cuz I need the online trophy for it as well. Figured I might as well kill 2 birds with one stone.
stuffedmonkey
03-21-2009, 12:15 PM
Somewhat OT - but I had a Burnout question. If I buy the legendary cars pack, can I use them to complete the regular license challenges or do they have separate challenges like the bikes?

Yes, you can use them for any of the regular license challenges.
I'll be hosting a game on Sunday 3/21 at 12PM EST to 1-2PM. Bikes only. We'll be doing challenges, both timed and freeburn.
ArJay2k8
03-21-2009, 03:31 PM

Woo got my Elite finally today. I'm a little perplexed though. After that the only "award" I needed to get was for the 20x boost, which I then proceeded to get. I got my Platinum finish and 60/60 awards. I already had all roads ruled time and showtime, how come I still only have 100%? Shouldn't I have 101? Then once I get all the online events I get 102, right? Or so I thought. Anybody help me out here on what I could be missing?
TctclMvPhase
03-23-2009, 04:12 PM
Is anyone up for bikes this evening? It would be a bit later than when we met last Monday...around 8 or so EST?
If you are down just message me as I will likely be playing GTAIV most of the night and may not be back to check out this thread.
ArJay2k8
03-23-2009, 04:18 PM
In case you do read this....I might be able to play for a little while. Raw starts at 9 but I DVR it, so I think I can swing it. I'll message you over PSN if I can.

Hey is there a night dedicated to Burnout Paradise that most of you play on? It can get really frustrating trying to find games where everyone is on the same page trying to crank out the challenges. I mean it took 25 minutes yesterday for me and 6 other guys in the room to corral one guy to do the jump at the beach where one guy has to jump the other 7 guys. Something that should've taken 5 minutes at the most and thats assuming one person was as far away as possible from the beach and crashed every other block. Now while this is an extreme case I do get more of these rooms than ones like I got the other day in which we cranked out 15 challenges in less than an hour. I know that not having everyone on voice chat can make it hard to get everyone on the same page but if any game is possible it Burnout Paradise. Anyways this has gone on longer than intended and my question is.....Is there a night when there are enough of you online to play burnout paradise to do the online challenges? Thanks and have a good one....
ArJay2k8
04-01-2009, 07:30 PM
It's usually Sunday, and hosted by KingBroly, but he's been away on vacation. I still need the majority of the challenges on 4-8 for freeburn and 2-8 for timed. Feel free to add me and we can try to get something going. PSN is ArJay2k8
TctclMvPhase
04-02-2009, 11:44 AM
I am up for challenges as well. My skills aren't quite up to Arjay's but I generally get the job done.
I am around most nights from 6-10. Even if I am playing another game just send me a message. I know how hard it is to find reliable gorups for this challenge, so I would be glad to help out a fellow CAG.
If you have a time/day in mind just post it and I will try to be there.
KingBroly
04-02-2009, 11:47 AM
I guess I'll host this Sunday at 6pm, bikes. Someone else needs to volunteer for hosting duties in the future though, as my bandwidth is really taking a dive due to Burnout :(
ArJay2k8
04-02-2009, 12:19 PM
As soon as I can get a mic, I can start hosting. It's just a matter of me getting one, which now I haven't had the money lol. That is of course, unless someone else wants to step up and host, or even alternate weekends.
tenchi
04-03-2009, 12:59 PM
I don't mind hosting Sunday's but usually can only do it early like around noon EST.
KingBroly
04-05-2009, 04:25 AM
So to reiterate:
Sunday, April 5th
6pm EDT
Burnout Bikes
Going for roughly an hour
When will I host again? Probably in a month or so. Someone else can host until then. When Big Surf Island hits or whenever Cops N' Robbers hits (I'm assuming CnR will hit first given the latest Trophy Data) is when I'll do a couple of weekends in a row.
ArJay2k8
04-05-2009, 02:49 PM
OK, I won't be able to make it tonight, due to Wrestlemania being on...but I have a mic now...So, I'll step up and take over hosting duties. If anyone else wants to host we can always alternate, or w/e works best.

04-05-2009, 03:38 PM
Can someone help me get one trophy before we start the cag night? It's the one where you complete a timed challenge while using all 3 boosts of the hawker mech. Should only take two minutes so add me and post here if you can help. Thanks.
KingBroly
04-05-2009, 03:45 PM
I guess I'll help you. I usually have the room open 10-15 minutes before 6pm anyways.
sotc1988
04-05-2009, 03:49 PM
Thanks. I was trying to do this in random games last night for about thirty minutes before I decided to try asking online. Too many people that STILL don't know how to do challenges.
tenchi
04-05-2009, 06:15 PM
yeah. I've given up doing challenges with random people. either they don't know how or don't even want to and are just there to annoy people.
KingBroly
04-05-2009, 06:29 PM
If you want to do challenges with random people the best way is to check out if it says Freeburn Online, Freeburn Challenges, Timed Challenges or something else. That way you're more likely to run into an room that is doing those.
tenchi
04-05-2009, 06:30 PM
I do go into those rooms, problem is, there's always someone who doesn't know what to do or random griefers that just want to annoy people.
sotc1988
04-05-2009, 06:33 PM

Something came up for me in the morning Sunday. Plus it seems there aren't very many that can make the 1PM game anyways, so I'm only going to be hosting one at 6PM. Sorry to any who planned on the 1PM one. Also, anybody from here that plans on making the 6PM one please send me a request entitled CAG Burnout so I can invite you to the room.

I just wanted to post again to apologize for today. Man that headache hit hard and fast. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I plan on hosting next week. I'm hoping I have time for 2 games, but if not, at least one at 6PM EST. Also, to those that recently added me, I'm on alot during the week as well, if you see me on and playing BP feel free to shoot me a message and we can get a quick game going.

See ya guys online!!
KingBroly
04-26-2009, 02:44 PM
There is no 'DLC' group. Everyone can see what everyone else bought. That might change with Cops n' Robbers and Big Surf Island, though. But we're still kind of in the dark.
BTW...was playing a few nights ago, and I somehow managed to glitch onto the bridge for a few seconds.
ChiefsFan21
04-26-2009, 07:06 PM

I can host as long as people show up, 3 or 4 is fine.

Yep, still waiting on the pricing though. Guess they're gonna wait until the last minute. I'd be pretty shocked if it was less than $10.
kingsfan2099
04-27-2009, 02:06 AM
Yeah it seems less than 10 is out of the question. I'm very interested to see what Big Surf Island will end up costing. I haven't been able to be around for the group on sundays but if anyone wants to add me, kingsfan2099, maybe we can get together.
DLC group
I have all the DLC except the Party Pack and would be willing to game share with anyone interested.
guardian_owl
04-27-2009, 03:18 PM
Final pricing announced, $9.99 for the cop's pack.
Based on that I think we're looking at either $15 or $20 for the island.
ArJay2k8
04-27-2009, 03:53 PM
Good stuff. I more then likely will be getting the CnR pack then by this weekend. Broly, are you going to host? Or do you want me to? Doesn't matter to me either way tbh.
pete5883
04-27-2009, 09:08 PM
If the whole game is on PSN for $30, there is no way the island will be $20, unless it is a huge fuckin' island.

Could wait and see how the feature is implemented, I think we may be paying for the cop liveries whereas the game mode is open to all (non cop pack players = robbers / existing free cop cars maybe?)

Could wait and see how the feature is implemented, I think we may be paying for the cop liveries whereas the game mode is open to all (non cop pack players = robbers / existing free cop cars maybe?)
I HIGHLY doubt that's how it's going to work. That's the thing I hate about Criterion this year. They have been VERY secretive about how their DLC works and the pricing. This is actually the first pack they actually priced before it hit the stores.

I was such a fanboy for Burnout last year, but the way they've handled DLC has left me at a loss. I caved for the party pack, but when the price dropped on the game, it devalued the DLC so much, I can't justify buying all the cars and addons anymore since they're far more than the complete game itself to get everything (AC6 anyone?). Also, everything was announced six months ago and any excitement I've had for what's remaining has completely dissolved in the time since.
Despite the fact that Burnouts support was unprecedented in 08 with so much free content to keep the game fresh and selling, it's something we will be lucky to ever see again from any developer. I played the hell out of Burnout, but it's been replaced by Motorstorm:PR.. and I'm still waiting on DLC from those guys as well.

not that this is the place for it but just wanted to let whoever know that ive started a share group over in the gameshare thread (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5801697#post5801697).
The game on PSN is $20, it's $30 if you want the "Ultimate Bundle" :S
So...I can either get this pack or the Killzone 2 maps. Well, I'll get the other at some point, but not for a while. Anyways...if someone is online tonight and you're getting the CnR pack, let me know, because I want to do a test run of this before I buy it (Not to say that I will buy it today). I want to see what happens when a game of CnR is started and someone in the group doesn't have it.
EDIT: When is version 1.80 coming out anyway? My game won't update.

Okay, here's the skinny on the patch.
There were some fixes (the GT Nighthawk Trophy was patched...not 10 online time challenges for some odd reason, and something about losing cars for no reason).
You get a new section: Cop Cars, 35 slots, 2 of which are given to you. Beyond that right now, I don't know if you can play in CnR if you don't have the DLC code. It'd be nice. There's only 1 car specific trophy for the pack, and it's a bronze.

Did some digging and found the experiences with the game mode from folks in earlier regions (http://www.operationburnout.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3789&view=findpost&p=61791).
If you are in a game and you do not own the Cops 'n Robbers pack when the host starts the freeburn a pop-up will ask if you want to purchase it. If yes, you disconnect and go to the burnout store, if no, you stay in the game as a bystander (like when you join a room in the middle of a challenge).
As an bystander you can un-officially contribute by wrecking one team or the other. So it seems that conceivably those without the Pack could pick a side and fight for them (use a standard car for robbers or one of the few free police cars for the cops), they just wouldn't know where the gold spawned/capture points are or be able to carry the gold.
edit: A tidbit from that thread is also neither team has access to boost during the game mode, but I would assume bystanders would still be able to boost.

Just got into a game of Cops and robbers before I downloaded the pack, I can confirm firsthand that is how it is handled. When a new game of Cops and Robbers is launched it asks if you want to buy the pack, and if you say no, you stay in the game and the message "Cops N' Robbers game in progress..." scrolls across the bottom of the screen. I chose to unofficially support the robbers side and began running into every cop car I saw :lol:.

So this Sunday @ 6pm est, CAG Burnout will take place. Now, since I'm a person who believes that even the headset less can play (although you slow everything down) I will be having a CAG Burnout Text Chat Room going for those who don't have a mic (Although I'll invite everyone).
I PLAN on doing at least 1 5-round match, maybe 1 more. I'll turn Traffic off because traffic sucks when you're racing at 150 mph and some random parked car takes you down :S Also, because I'm a dick, cops will be able to choose their cars, robbers won't. Enjoy your Hunter Calvaries, suckers! :D

I'll be there. Sounds like a decent set of rules to me, although traffic (imo) makes CnR better. When you're the guy with the gold, traffic is a non factor really because your weighed down...but it helps you because everyone else (including the guys trying to take you down) are more likely to crash with traffic.
KingBroly
05-01-2009, 12:15 PM
If I could just get rid of the parked cars only, I'd do it. The thing about people having different cars is that I played a couple of rounds last night with some random people and they had everyone in the same car. I don't think everyone wants to drive in GT Concepts. Although I wish I could use the Manhattan Special in CnR.

Pretty good night with some cool rounds of CnR, especially when Freaky showed up at the end although he didn't have it. I don't think anyone wants to play me in CnR anymore after today's performance :)
Remember that if you keep the CAG Burnout chat on your XMB (and not go in and delete it) it should stay there, for how long I don't know. Even if you turn off your PS3.

Chat logs stay indefinitely. You'll get logged out of the room for various reasons (turning off your PS3, for sure, but I've been logged out when changing a game), but the log will stay. Though, it's limited as to how much it saves (like 100-200 "posts").

2 things about Big Surf Island:
1) Joystiq said they can't post their review until 05/28 (A Thursday). Think that implies anything? The trophies already show up online- maybe it really is only 2 weeks away.
2) I thought i remembered hearing onetime that the price point of a game determined the type/number of trophies it could have. If that's true, can we determine the cost of the add-on based on the trophy list?
KingBroly
05-16-2009, 11:12 AM
I think the 2nd point is BS as Killzone 2's $6 Map Pack had 12 trophies while Cops n' Robbers was $10 and had only 8 trophies.

I plan on joining you guys in around 2 weeks when i get this game, I'll get the Cops n robbers along with the new DLC coming out. I will play with you guys almost every night, but around 1 out of every 4 weeks i won't be able to, since my brother & I share a PS3 and he might be on it. But that's not a for sure, I might be able to play every week.
Currently I'm an active member in the Resistance 2 & Unreal Tournament III clan nights. I also plan on getting warhawk with all the booster packs, so i'll join that clan night also.

Blader - I didn't think it was worth it. I played it twice, got the trophies the first night, and haven't played it since the second go round. The Island will be out by the end of June, more then likely sooner, save your ten bucks towards the cost of that.
As far as tonight, unless Broly hosts there won't be a game. The left side of my mouth is still sore from Friday when I had two teeth removed. Plus, with my Celtics playing and the WWE PPV on tonight, I won't be anywhere near my PS3.

It's ok.
I'm getting closer and closer to that 490. Last I checked I think I was at 422 or so. The closer I am to 490 come Sunday, the better chances of me hosting Cops N Robbers will be. I mainly need 4 and 7 player freeburn challenges, with a few 5 and 6 needed as well. I think I only need 3 times challenges, 2 7 player and 1 6 player.
