race matchmaking

[spaceboy]

I am looking for information regarding online matchmaking to race friends.  Will post what I find.

Sounds good, and if we need to have a child board of Multiplayer, let me know.

[JRD]

Pardon my ignorance my friend.. but what a child board is?  :-[

[PZ]

My pleasure JRD, a child board is one that belongs to another board.  For instance, Fuel is a parent board, and Pre-game talk is a child board beneath it.

I hope they don't force me to register the way FC2 does, if they do, I'm not going to play multiplayer. Let's hope for the best then :) A race against you lot would be awesome hehe

couldn't resist... it does force PC players to singn up/in with "MS Live!" or you cannot play online. Sigh.

If anyone wants to find me, my nickname in "Live!" is "ArtBlade1".

Apparently XBoX360 can join with PC gamers... not absolutely sure, but the PC game manual has an appendix for Live! and it reads you can. And I saw some players with 360 as platform tags.

edit: there is a new topic (stickie) now where you can post your nicknames.
