Title: If anybody is still out there... :)
Post by: rip|ChITty on June 10, 2013, 03:55:59 PM
...besides Buz of course. 

Grid 2 multiplayer can be pretty damn fun.  Since that's what the first few league seasons were run on I thought I'd mention it in case anyone had a hankering for the less technical racing we did back in the day.

I've been racing nearly every night since it came out. 

Improvements over the old Grid:

- Multiplayer car and upgrade unlocks give you something to race for.  Cars can be tailored to different driving styles.  Strategic variability.

- Rival feature where you're paired against a random person across the internet.  Gives you a defined competitor in a weekly set of challenges.

- Friend lap leaderboards even in single player

- Flashbacks in multiplayer.  If there's a huge crash you can hit that button and get reset, at speed.  Your race can't be completely destroyed by an idiot.

- Arrows indicating where other nearby drivers are.  I believe that wasn't in the original Grid.

- User modified MP car liveries

- Graphics

- Host controlled kicking.  GRID was by majority vote.

- Corner cutting penalties

Downgrades:

- no text chat in multiplayer, only voice.
- DLC can cause segregation of servers.



Come check it out!

Have to admit it is a hell of a change of pace, SO intense.

The flashbacks in multiplayer are a real life saver, sorta makes griefers irrelevant  8)
