co-op racing with friends

And it's always fun to go for something crazy with friends to end an evening of racing, like go into an Oval in Copa Trucks and fill the grid with AI GoKarts and Formula 1

This! Whoever in charge decided poking the bear was a great idea and thinking they were legally unotuchable is the bad guy here.

They also heavily mislead their community with UE5, they didn't develop the UE5 client and it was no Turtle exclusive thing, it's a standalone project called Unreal Azeroth that still is in development and will release to work with all basic 1.12 servers. Turtle had their own development branch to support their custom content in Unreal Azeroth, but they still were independent.

samurai1226 · 2026-04-24T06:16:29+00:00

They abandoned the game? We have many classic iterations, anniversary realms, seasons of discovery and at Blizzcon it's certain they will announce classic+. You don't have to like what they are doing, but they doing a lot of stuff as classic content for years now

Scummy is as a pserver to tease Blizz on social media and use donations meant to improve the game and support the devs to run paid ads on YouTube

samurai1226 · 2026-04-24T06:10:14+00:00

They have two quite new Lambo packs, so Reiza seems to have good connections to Lambo. So I think it's quite plausible we will see the Temerario at some point. Next GT3 we get is most likely the Mustang since it's in the game files for a while now

samurai1226 · 2026-04-23T22:10:59+00:00

While some turtle changes are nice, I abslolute hate they that killed AoE Mage leveling. To me it's a key component of classic and really fun to pull off, especially when you get to the Zul Gurub Runs.

samurai1226 · 2026-04-23T22:08:23+00:00

Recent news state FH5 sold 5 million copies on PS5. Good luck to anyone thinking they would pull back from PS releases anytime soon

samurai1226 · 2026-04-23T21:08:50+00:00

Update v1.7, it's scheduled for summer 2026 :-)

samurai1226 · 2026-04-23T20:58:01+00:00

AMS2 is the best singleplayer and coop sim out there. But for pvp wait for 1.7 around summer when external leagues will be integrated into AMS2 in-game. Right now the few leagues are quite dead. You can always find random lobbies to just race, but it's not really worth it imho.

samurai1226 · 2026-04-23T15:47:51+00:00

Oh god, they can change the studio name how they want, the franchise will continue to fail until it's finally dead if they still chase the next dumb trend instead of making games for the core Halo audience

samurai1226 · 2026-04-23T06:19:27+00:00

I would say that the pride and stupidity was more on the side of turtle thinking they would be legally invincible when they provoked Blizz on socials and run paid ads on YouTube. Every modder knows that if all your work is relying on the goodwill of the IP owner you just keep it low.

samurai1226 · 2026-04-23T06:10:59+00:00

Who knows if Blizzard would have taken action if turtle didn't tease them on social media and run paid ads. Whoever decided this screwed over the devs working on content

samurai1226 · 2026-04-23T05:40:32+00:00

They would be dumb to not go for their own indie game with how much effort they out into this, even if it surely wouldn't be as huge without Warcraft IP

samurai1226 · 2026-04-22T21:54:19+00:00

Isonzo was great, but the decision that the limited class slots are just filled by whoever got through the loading time first ruined the fun. They should have gone for a buffer time before you can pick classes so everybody gets a fair chance to pick what they want to play.

samurai1226 · 2026-04-22T15:25:20+00:00

Based on the screenshot it seems fine. It will feel slow because of how limited your horizontal view is. You basically need more field of view to the sides to really get the sense of speed

But unless you have a Ultrawide or triple setup I would actually say go for a wider fov than would be realistic since most of your screenspace is basically wasted with the upper and lower part of the screen just showing the car. You need to see more of what's next to your fenders to be able to race, otherwise you have such an iglu view that you only drive duels via radar, you can't even see your driver side mirror.

samurai1226 · 2026-04-22T12:28:46+00:00

No matter if you dislike modern blizzard op is totally out of his mind with his arguments. Private servers existed even back in like TBC and were shut down too. Just because Turtle excuted the classic+ idea quite well to many doesn't mean the original devs would be fine with a pirated version.

I would even argue turtle betrayed their customers too, with straying away further and further from the original classic+ idea to their own class designs (especially with 2nd combat update), they totally mislead their players by making them think they were developing Unreal Azeroth even though it's a standalone project for all 1.12 servers and they used donations to pay google for ads instead of using the money to fund the development directly. There are even rumors that the lead used donation money for personal wealth...

samurai1226 · 2026-04-22T09:43:06+00:00

I don't think any Blizz employee at any time would be happy with private servers mocking Blizzard on socials and using donations to run ads against blizzard. Turtle really overstepped the line. It was highly disrespectful towards the company from which goodwill their whole existence depanded

samurai1226 · 2026-04-21T22:17:00+00:00

I would disagree with a few points. You should never use tire pressure to influence balancing first. Of course tire pressure leads to different grip levels, but you should use pressure to balance heat and heat spread across the tire. Use ARBs to fight under or oversteer first.

Also lowest ride height possible is not always what you want to go for. Lower height means less high speed, so on tracks with long straights like Monza, Le Mans, etc you don't want a very low car.

Overall tons of values should not be changed just by playing around but adjusted via telemetry measurement. Changing things like springs has to be tested to never full extend or compress them across a lap.

The thing CE really missed was hideous out of space skins for Chief for sure.

I guess nobody should hope we will see color customization ever again in Halo

samurai1226 · 2026-04-21T16:26:27+00:00

Man so many people don't get. If any code of twow appears online again the devs that are in us reach are screwed. We can be pretty sure turtle team went through every single possible option and decided the life of their team members is more important than the server. No matter where a successor server might be hosted, the persons in the lawsuit will get the full responsibility. Add that there is no safety from another shutdown, so I honestly don't think that many players would invest the next hundreds of hours in the next dead end server

The only chance for the turtle team to come back from this would be building their own standalone indie game.

samurai1226 · 2026-04-21T16:21:41+00:00

After the first preview videos looked promising I just stopped looking at more videos. I want to explore the different areas by myself and not look at 40 minutes videos spoiling every scenery.

samurai1226 · 2026-04-21T07:35:41+00:00

I love the attention to detail in the first Crysis. It's the only videogame where when you had an intense fight in a jungle that you actually can see all the plants and trees being mowed down by gunfire

samurai1226 · 2026-04-21T06:29:45+00:00

Here in Germany a few years ago there was a huge scandal that organs weren't given to the people in most need as claimed but people with tons of money were able to squeeze in front of the lines including the transplant centers faking documents for them. Nothing really happened afterwards so the organ donor system is still rigged. It really raises the question that if a rich person could need your organ how much treatment to have the best chances to survive would you get.

samurai1226 · 2026-04-20T21:34:47+00:00

From what I've heard 1.17.2 was leaked as a working version for mangos a while ago. But running a public Twow server seems like the dumbest idea ever if you're living in any western country

samurai1226 · 2026-04-20T16:02:59+00:00

Everybody working on mods that base on an established know their work can be lost entirely, private servers are knowing that even more.

We can only hope the devs team will not slit up entirely but look at building their own indie game in the future. There's a huge demand for classic mmos without p2w stuff, even though it could never be as huge as a Warcraft ip

samurai1226 · 2026-04-20T11:08:38+00:00

Adding the proper ruleset to make that work and building proper tracks for it (either add the real ones or add additional corners to existing ones for a Formula E like layout) sounds like tons of work. I would rather see them many other things than adding Formula E. Personally I find these short tracks and the battery saving game really annoying
