If I can do it in time: count me in.

Just did a few legends races today (Racer Paul 👍) and mics suck (too much echo), as usual. Plus, it adds lag to the connection.

It would be easier to have a laptop with some PC software to talk...

Skype, ventrilo, ts, etc.

But I have had luck with the ps3 voice chat...IF you use a bluetooth headset ot works just fine.

 

[RomKnight]

I have, But I keep hearing echoes and stuttering. I don't know how people hear me...

We can try next time we meet.

oh hell yeah put my name down please 👍 by the way i was playing with racerpaul , romknight ,and a few others and doing the legends stuff , but i could only choose two cars !! a lotus cortina , and a mini cooper ! anyone got any ideas why 💡
i mentioned this on the mic , but no one could hear me , or they weren't miced up , i'm just so use to using the headset cos i played bad company 2 for a long time , anway i switchd the game off , went back and guess what , all the legends cars were there --- strange

'd like to sign up.

UK based.

PSN is: derbybirdy

My suggestions would be to start of with lots of short 3 lap races in class D cars to get a feel of how well the cars and tracks work on-line (are people still experiencing strange collision detection). Plus, in slower cars if there are any unintential bumps and offs it is easier to recover.

Also, is it worth setting out some basic race rules (i.e. if you cause someone to loose their place through a dangerous move you hold back unil they have passed you)? Are we going to ask that where people have mics they call out their position when attemting a pass? etc. etc.

Knowing how awful online racing can be when basic rules are not applied compared to how good it can be when they are I just think it might be worth restating them - although my guess is that everyone here knows what they are.

Looking forward to some good old fashion racing

yeah good idea , if you got a mic i say use it

@ romknight -- i think if we persevere with the mics it'll be worth it in the end , the echo thing may have just been in that particular room , i know i get that when making a squad in bc2 (bad company 2) but once in game its fine

I might be interested but I m not sure if I want to get my behind beaten... Also I dont own any kind of headset, would that be a problem?

What I do own though are several legends cars waiting to get tried online!

 

[TheCracker]

Here's my Lotus Cortina, liveried and raring to go

Matching car and helmet, sweet

Sacrilegious!

My apologies mate. I did not see that you were interested in joining. I am adding you right now 👍

Don't worry about the headset...no problem if you don't have one
