i'm not able to get back online. it keeps timing out

hmmmm, maybe just today? I was on from about 6pm till about midnight without any issues.

it seems to be working fine now. no idea what it was

could have been their servers or Xbox Live. I tried to play Forza 4 online and it kept giving me a "NAT setting compatibility" error. Turned my console off then back on, tried again, then it was fine.

What's the highest Wave you've reached in Survival? I can't seem to break Wave 10 no matter who I play with. The payout is very nice as long as we have 4 people.

Only goes to ten, right? Me and the guys beat it several times before.

Some survival maps are tough as shit, though.

Beaten them plenty of times

Created a race if anyone wants to try. Wish I could use more objects.

Possibly. Ive yet to get through that Wave.

My fave map is Processed. It seems to offer some of the better cover spots, but today everything seemed ALOT harder. Did they up the difficulty with this latest update?

They employ the latest trend of 'soft updates' that turn variables and values up and down to make changes. I have noticed difficulty changes in the same mode weeks ago.

CTF seems like it could be a lot of fun if we could get as many players as we did when it launched into the same lobby. That aint happenin though.

Yeah the AI is great in it. The Sandy Shores is pretty hard. Staying in the same place really works to your disadvantage as they remember where you like to hide and nail you.

It would have to be organized. It would be a lot harder to get full rooms. And a lot of the new Capture jobs seems to max out at 16. Would love to see that craziness.

Yeah spawn points changed. They (bullshit) flank better.

Yeah, the spawn points did change. In Processed, they always spawned in that hangar on the end and near the steel freight containers. I had a great camp spot and could pick them off from the second hangar.

Yesterday, I was in my spot and like 7 of them spawned directly behind me and I couldn't take them all down at once. Got killed. The next round, we didn't get past Wave 5 because their spawn points were so random and they got the best of us. I'm loving it, tho.

The soundtrack in this game is great, I think the problem is just that it is mostly relatively obscure music.

I found a hacked session this morning. I got $59,000,000 just after spawning in.

there's alot of glitches. i've noticed when there's a bounty on me and someone collects it, it's still on me until a second person kills me and collects. i've joined a new session and somehow started with a bounty on me.

also the merryweather helicopter guy is an idiot. he lands on a lightpost, destroys it, and just hovers a foot above ground so i cant get in :mad:

I usually kill him and just take off with the helicopter. The pilot is useless

Yeah it's been mad glitchy the last few days.

Omg, I wanted to kill that kid that was in that Survival with us after my son left.

lol yeah, you gotta love kids that play music and won't shut the hell up for 5 seconds

I hate the ones that have music blaring through their mics instead of just chatting or something. I wish there was a way to tell if someones actually chatting in-game, private chat, or if they have a mic at all. I hate having someone on a Survival team that doesn't talk.

You should have heard my son this morning after he got gifted some 2 billion in a session. It started with some bounty that was worth around 200 million that he was chasing down. He got it, then someone gifted him the rest.

Think I heard "Fuckin die" in my sleep the first time after I ten leveled the first one.

another hacked room tonight. Someone set two bounties tonight, each for $100,000,000,000. One guy collected twice in a row then shared it with some of us that were chasing the bounty down as well. It kind of became a collaborative effort, as we started cheering each other on depending on who was closer. Good fun.

$200,000,000 was what he gave each of us. Then the session froze and kicked us all out.

I wonder how long before they wipe everyone's cash because of this hacked shit.

No idea. The biggest problem is going to be tracking down the ones that are hacking in the first place. Noones gonna rat them out becuase they give out free money.

Money I earn now will just be given away because I honestly see no way to spend a quarter of what I have now.

I'd rat them out. Fuck em.

I think its affected the game. Can't even find a decent deathmatch with more than 2 ppl.

Finally back on this after 6 weeks or so, still just a case of grinding?

yeah, that's still going. I've found that three or four Survival matches, making it to at least Wave 9, will build money and RP up nicely.

Apparently, theres gonna be a Christmas DLC tomorrow or so that will add Christmas attire a Christmas tree in everyones apartment and hopefully snow.

i got 200+ million dollars on a hacked server. now it seems the only things to really work toward are unlocking weapons :-\

yup:-\

What they need to do is come up with more ways we can actually spend money. We can't buy all the cars because of garage limitations and there's no real point in buying a different apartment if you already have one with a 10 car garage.

This is probably why people get bored. Once you have the money, the motivation to keep playing dies down.

Oh, the hacked lobby I wound up in had a Bounty with God-Mode, or something. 10 of us trying to kill him and he would just stand there and flip us all off.

He may have been in Passive Mode.

Can't you kill people in passive mode just by running them over?

Yes.

The guy we couldn't kill kept putting himself in places cars couldn't get into which is why he survived so long before he let a guy that was helping him take the bounty.

You know people in Passive Mode have a different dot on the map. I'm sorry so many people wasted their time.

Is there a way to tell if you're in a hacked game?
