However, I'm concerned. I haven't seen any postings on MCO.
Is it being totally ignored by the public?
I hope not :)

I myself enjoy racing sims rather than arcade sims. But there are more
quality racing sims other than GPL and N4. You'd never know that, by the
looks of the majority of the responses in this group.
And no, I'm not a troll. I'm sure there are many more who feel the same way
that I do, who have gone to other boards to discuss other games, rather than
coming here and listening to the same rehashed nonsense about GPL this and
N4 that, along with a smattering of CART talk.

Initial online release is supposed to have limited part upgrades with more
being released over time
Sounds like a rip off to us....(or me anyway)

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

What you posted wasn't trollesque at all, in fact it was quite rationale,
and is close to my opinion of MCO. But considering this is
rec.autos.simulators, we naturally talk about more serious simulations, no?

Even if it was free, it's a piece of crap. At least it was in last days of
the beta.
It's a game for those who have time to spend several hours a day racing a
little bit and using most of the time getting parts and building their cars.
The worst thing is how the cars handle. But maybe it is realistic. I don't
know but maybe a '66 Shelby Cobra handled that bad in the real world.
NFS PU is far better, and if they had a little better online racing with
cups and stuff..........
But MCO can off course get better. They will ad tracks and cars on a regular
basis. If someone buys it that is.
I don't think it was "finished" the day they released it. The lag was
terrible, you could never know for sure if you was leading the race or not.
Cars was jumping all over the place like in NFS PU if someone has a bad
connection. You would crash into a car just to find out after the finish
that other car could not possibly be there. It finished 50 seconds before
you, it just took a jump back to block your way for a split second. :)

I have ZERO problems paying for playing, but what I read so far is
that it's a step backwards from NFS:PU which I liked very much.
I haven't read a single positive review yet about MC Online, not from
'hardcorde simmers' and not from the more arcade oriented public.
Still, I loved Hot Rod 1 & 2 on the Amiga, and I keep hoping MC Online
comes close to the fun factor of those games.

Good luck

Well.. thanks for sharing, I was affraid it would be like that :(
Now the stupid question of the day: is it -only- multiplayer or can
you also drive against AI? Is the driving model indeed a step
backwards from NFS:PU, ie more like NFS4?
Andre
You can race alone against the clock or against up to 3 other players.
Fortunately you can race with a sponsored car so you don't mess up your own
when you hit the walls or other cars. This way you can earn money even if
your not an ace yet, instead of losing more money on repairs than you win.
I have not tried NFS 4, but I doubt it as bad as MCO?
Jone.
