Forgot I could get them online now. Here are my super rushed jobbies.... Myu FG Truck and Liquid Camero

Following on from the Not Matt Racing livery above, it would only be right to create it for the Blue Moon Bay race as that where it all started. So I present to you, NMR98 and NMR99 now in resplendent red, white and blue. On a side note, it also means I now have 2 GTR's as I couldn't work out how to put different liveries on the same car in one scene so had to buy a second one 😆

Happy big boy day today Leigh, Leeeeeeeeeeee @GazzaGarratt You make a lot of time for other people and I'd say I hope you get treated nicely this evening but then I remembered you're probably playing FIFA. Sad. 😅❤❤❤

It’s also destroying the experience for average/casual players but Activision don’t really give a shit about those - it’s all about the sweaty tryhards spending money in-game, creators with their codes and simply giving the game exposure through gameplay garnered against the very foundation and metrics ironically in place. None of this is also considering the artificial factors such as ping manipulation based on performance. This is what happens when you design your game around money first rather than quality.

One of the most anticipated YouTube videos finally released with nearly 500,000 views in 4 hours. This is an exceptional breakdown of Cyberpunk and the one video CDPR were truly fearing but gamers were wanting. 40 minutes long but a fantastic watch and lots of unseen footage and critique. A lot of work has gone into this so enjoy!

I just wish they'd support it properly. I don't play Warzone but every COD MP is pretty much dead in the water come Christmas these days and now developers instead of bolstering that portion of the game and trying to win people back or keep people on board, they (particularly Treyarch) just give up and focus on the BR or seemingly the next title. Free maps was actually one of the worst things to come out of this now because there is no set content timeline or anything consistent to what we got with the paid map pack content. Not only are we getting less maps and material than ever at launch, the staggered release of new stuff and lack of information is causing huge harm. At least with paid map packs the devs were obliged to support the game and we knew what to expect. Core MP is more worthless than COD Mobile now which is tragic.

Good video. I personally didn't check much of the hype or promises that had been made. I now look at all these features they promised and I'm gobsmacked they had the nerve to release it without any of the things they said. I was aware it was supposed to be an RPG set in a CyberPunk universe. That sounded cool and was good enough for me. But it's not an RPG in any shape or form. It pretends to be. Gives you choices, which are apparently meaningless and have zero impact, with zero consequences. You collect a lot of useless tat, is that what they think an RPG is? The comparison to GTA, old GTA games even, was also a killer. It looks like CDPR didn't even try with the AI. It's piss poor. Which is a shame, there's plenty to like and enjoy for sure but aside from bug fixes I can't see them ever delivering the game they said they would. It's a shell of what it could have been. What a waste.

I like core multi player too, probably more than Warzone, I have more hours in MW than in Warzone. Cold War multiplayer is just crap imo, which is why I think Warzone is masking just how bad it is because most streamers/youtubers are playing Warzone. Imagine if there was no Warzone...

I saw your TT on the feed this morning and knew this was coming haha, top idea for a thread. I have only spent a little time in doing liveries but I'll show some of my attempts shortly 🙂

I'm actually surprised they're bothering with the traditional COD multiplayer these days. Warzone seems to be the developer priority, it brings in the most money and creating/supporting the latest COD game seems to be a burden for all. The money they make from unit sales they could probably claw back through selling cosmetic crap in a couple of months without needing to spend a penny on development or upkeep. If they're gonna persist with the core multiplayer then I wish they'd do it properly.

happy birthday @GazzaGarratt, hope you have a great day mate

Played a couple multiplayer the other night, damn Warzone really is carrying and saving Cold War atm.

This is an old patch from December, albeit the latest one - just updating it so I can get ready to put up the new patch in the right place 🙂

Well I've had a cheeky go on the Gr.4 Audi TT '16. Nothing too fancy, but I'm happy as its my first one. Randomly, I love that I managed to get the website wording including the logo on the top of the spoiler.

It is a sad state the YouTubers, Twitch Streamers and big content creators have to hide or on the other side of it prove they are legit. Activision will always protect the big names, those guys draw in views and hype etc. I'm all for mixed lobbies of varying skill with decent sensible matchmaking/team balancing and priority on as stable a connection as possible. I would rather a fair fight, I've held my own in some of the sweatiest lobbies if the connection is alright and I play good. I've been smoked by beasts and clans and I'm fine with that some of the time. Well to put it into perspective, my internet is pretty shocking in terms of DL and Upload speeds. It's very basic and I need to upgrade in general, waiting for the old contract to finish before looking into something else. Now on a few occasions I have had 3-4 very good games in a row and been severely punished. I was put into an Asian lobby one night, I reckon so because the whole enemy team had Japanese or Chinese letters in their names. They all ran MP5's and AK74U's and I got destroyed. They were indefinitely better players than myself, but because of the SBMM I was put there and some of the gunfights lagged a bit and I had no chance. As the skill rating goes up and so does the sweat and the higher quality connection. I'm guessing I was in the 100-150ms ping range in that match or something. Just to paint the picture of my setup, I have a 14mbps DL and a 1mbps upload. And I never ever get that full amount. I'm playing on an old 42 inch LG TV that's about 9 or 10 years old and is probably 50-60hz max if I'm lucky. On a PS4 and sitting on a couch about 10 foot away or so. That's why I very rarely use crossplay. I feel I get screwed with it when up against next gen consoles and PCs. I'm not trying to make myself sound better than I am, but I upload whatever clips I feel were decent or I enjoyed at the time and saved. So if I can do it so can anyone. But for my sake and everyone else with below average internet, please prioritize the best we can get Activision and stop making it harder than it needs to be. If the connection is stable and fair I will try hard and sweat if needs be to beat some guys. But the overall punishment is an even harder laggier lobby eventually. Now I also heard they are going to add League play to Cold War. My question is what have we been playing the last 2 months? We will have the normal sweaty public lobbies, then an even sweatier lobby for League play?

Activision have now started blocking data apps used to expose cheaters in Warzone and Multiplayer in a shameful bid to protect their SBMM framework. These apps use the API and can showcase lobby data such as k/d's which can quickly identify if a content creator or streamer has been cheating the system. Before Christmas many of the big names were caught and admitted guilt in regards to the multiplayer aspect but now even Warzone is being significantly impacted by this behaviour from a wealth of big names. There also seems to be people actively policing the system so when someone gets a nice clip, these users quickly scrutinise the lobby quality rather than the clip itself and even then, questions are further asked about input cheats being used. What an absolute dire situation Call of Duty is in from a gameplay and social standpoint. Connection-based matchmaking + lobby balancing = good times. SBMM + gameplay manipulation and cheaters = dead game. The fact Activision are only interested in protecting themselves rather than the community wishes says it all.

I think most people by now have seen my FG Porsche but for those who haven't The newest addition to my garage is my Lexus painted in NMR colours - that's Not Matt Racing 😄 Which will definitely be making an appearance on a Gr3 car for this weeks Blue Moon Bay race.
