Really looking forward to it MJB! hodgi

Please excuse me if I'm 5 minutes late, it'll be because I have one hour to say "hi" to the wife, eat, and put my son to bed!

Also regarding the online party trophies, 2 of them need to be done in pro tour

Steer Hunter - Complete a game of Invasion without any negative points

Flag Stealer - Steal the flag from the opposing team 5 times in a game of Transporter

 

All the others can be done in Jam session and the invasion one is easy but the transporter one can be a pain to get and should be the one you focus on 

Really? Did not know that!dunce

So you mean i actually did those online with randoms? Wow.

Saying that though, i seem to have a better time winning with randoms than i do with you lot, as i actually meet some fellow noobs then! You lot are too good for your own good! hodgi

In fact, the only mode i have never won is transporter, so you'll have to excuse me if i do get a little excited when i get the first couple of flags (& then continue to not get anywhere near all of the rest & sob into my controller!)! laugh

I will be there if i can get home in time & get the recorder set though.hodgi

Thanks for the games yesterday – Infected is a lot of fun!! I suck at the Flag game though, oh, and the rallying. Some of you guys are pretty damn good! Perhaps I need to practice and play some of the single player to improve – I find the car handling isn't as good as in the first Dirt, but that's just me. Does a steering wheel give any advantages or make it easier?

Looking forward to Sunday's Meet hodgi

You and me both mate – I think Transporter (the flag game) is the only online mode i have not won ever. Everything else i have managed to scrape through with noobs & i have had a few random trophies unlock during the meets, but transporter is such a clusterf*ck (albeit a fun one though) that it's pretty much pot luck on which way you are facing when you come out of a tussle as to whether you are likely to score a capture.

Plus i find that whatever end i am at, the flag appears at the other. So that's something to bear in mind!wink

Rallying i will never beat these guys at as they are just too good, but i do supply some tension at the end of the race when they are all spectating… "Will he finish?? Will he finish?? Oh no, he crashed."laugh

@Forrest – firstly, well done on the 50th Platinum milestone hodgi hodgi

Yeah, the Transporter game mode is hard, it feels like when you're on one of those playground roundabouts and you stick you head back, since I was constantly turning in circles trying to spot where the flag was going to appear. And when it did, someone had already grabbed it. I did hit people sometimes but the flag never tranfered, so I don't know if you have to hit them at a certain speed?! Our Cat-and-Mouse win was fun laugh

When I play online I'll try for the Steer Hunter and Flag Stealer trophies, if I can get them by the time I get to level 35, I should be able to obtain the Platinum. hodgi Either way it will be fun trying!

Complete Edition with all DLC was £14.95 on Zavvi.com yesterday, and the DLC is worth over £20 on it's own.

I thank you twice! Once for the congrats & once for helping me get motivated to get the Portal 2 plat. I thought it might make a nice 50th after i got done with the last co-op trophies with you, so i got to work on all the singleplayer stuff i missed when i got back from watching the Avengers!smile

To be truthful although I enjoyed the game the first time through & found it hilarious, it did make me feel a little dim at times – However, playing through co-op & revisiting parts of the singleplayer to get the trophies changed my opinion (well, maybe not changed , but boosted  at least) & i now think it is a brilliant game.

As for hitting people in transporter, i have to say i don't know – I have had occasions where i have just brushed someone & picked it up & there were other occasions (a couple last night as it goes) where not even hitting someone enough to spin them out was good enough! Perhaps it has to register as a 'clean' hit or something? Pass.

No worries mate! Agreed, Portal is a great game – although I did think the initial labs dragged a little. Afterwards the environments were excellent hodgi

I think it might have been due to lag, as sometimes I appeared to hit people, and then they appeared several car-lengths away from me (and not due to the impact). Not that it's a big deal. I'm hoping I'll find some smaller lobbies to help with the flag-transfer x5 trophy!

Transporter can be quite glitchy at times and it often happens that you hit the flag carrier and dont get the flag. Nothing you do wrong just the game decides to rob you at times. Strangely it never seems to happen in Outbreak though.

It does tend to be worse with more people in the lobby. Cat n mouse was epic though as its been ages since we have been able to do four teams.
