I had one glitch today for a few minutes... I was driving after Vlad to go kill him, and then everything went brown. I was hitting things that were invisible, It was horrible... But I paused it and it went away!

this game is funny as fuck...when the police are chasing you down the freeway and there are slow assed mofos on their motorbikes and you just ram them into other cars and they flip over your car doing rag doll somersaults..so funny..other things i like are the rain looks good and just the way you go skidding off when in a car chase..i ended up on the beach and it looked very realistic the way the car spun...the shootouts are pretty good too.how you can take cover behind a door and then fire through the windows...excellent game and im only 3% in lol

Burned the game with some cheap ass DL disks.
Like alway's. I hardly have any problems with burning.
Somtimes i fuck up a disk of 2 of a spindle nothing special.
The brand i use is platinum. I think this is not any wors then
verbatim. The problem most of the times is that u just need
to leave your computer be when burning. The first disc i burned
hanged on the intro text screen. Then i burned another1 right away.
This one worked fine. Burned with imgburn @ 2.0 speed.
Ima burn this fucker on 2.4 and 3.0 speed soon to see if this
can work. I get DL discs for free so no worries about fucking up some discs.

My samsung drive does a good job in streaming the city
on the tv screen. I heart some new slower drives have lagging
problems caused by the low speed of the drives. lol.
Lucky me not to have such a drive. Take care!

So do you guys think we will be able to play online with our backup copies? Has anyone played any new releases online? with the xtreme 1.4 firmware? Is it detectable at the moment?

I've played multiple games online with no problems. I think those that get banned are so because of multiple things counted against them (especially those who are in the UK and definitely in the US who are dumb enough to play before release). Should be fine, especially for a game like this where you know people are going to get online.

Yeah, the whole COD4 thing went down because the initial copy that hit the interwebs had a slightly different code (using laymens terms here) than the retail game. This made it very easy for MS to see who was using the pirated copy.

They're still not detecting (properly made) backups and firmware.

Awesome!

I'll be playing this online on wednesday. I guess I should also avoid PAL games on my ntsc console, that would raise a big flag for microsoft.

Don't think anyone really knows. I know some people that have been playing the ICON release online without being banned. But MS might suddenly pull the strings and ban a lot of people. So id wait until their official site say the game is out Very Happy

Some people suggest using the slowest speed, like 1X. I've always burned my games at 2.4X and never seem to have the problems some people have. If its running slow, try a different burn.

not really. I was talking to a guy in line who has the pirated version. anyway, I was interested to see how the official version is compared to pirated version, gave him my number (he's an old friend of mine i havent seen in a few months). Anyway, he just called me and all the glitches and stuff he was experiecing from the pirated version is gone (he got the 360 version).
I think the pirated version is fubar. Atleast considering my boy told me and the manager at the store was saying.
There's no substitue for an official copy of a game....unless we are talking pc games, then its a completely different story

I wonder what glitches? Cos the copy I'm using runs great, popups are rare.

I reckon this game is very taxing on the disc so if your burn isn't top notch or there is any other factor which might affect you like setting your drive speed below 12x then this game will highlight that..

i dunno man. i just heard a buncha dudes in line bitching that their burned copies ran like shit.
I cant confirm tho as i never got the pirated edition. still, i dont see why they have reason to lie. could have been the disc and or the release they used tho, i dunno.

If it works great for you burned, then all the power to ya mate Smile
