Just changing the main picture...i got tired of looking at the same one from months ago.

Looks like EPIC want's to finnaly give us what we have been wishing for. So lets all get together online next month and try it out.

Who's with me on this?

Improvements

Title Update 6 makes these new improvements:

• Adds a new public multiplayer match option called Social Xbox LIVE (aka player matches), open to anyone who owns all downloadable maps (that is, All Fronts Collection). We'll be having a promotion that will dramatically reduce the cost of the All Fronts Collection.
• You can join Social Matches in progress and can quit any time without penalty, although players who quit a match early don't receive earned experience (XP) from that match.
• Social matchmaking lets your party join a match in progress. If a match is not found, your party hosts a new match, filling any empty player slots with bots.
• Social Matches automatically cycle to the next map without further matchmaking.
• Teams are rebalanced between matches based on XP level without splitting parties.
• If you quit, your spot is taken by a bot until a new player joins the match. That new player can join while the match is in progress.
• If you join a match in progress, you are assigned a team based on XP level and party size.
• If you join a match in progress, you replace a bot at the earliest opportunity: at the first bot's death for respawning game types (for example, Annex) and at round completion for Warzone, Execution, and Wingman.
• Social leaderboards become part of the War Journal.
• Renames Public Matches to Ranked Xbox LIVE Matches to differentiate these from Social Xbox LIVE Matches, and adds some improvements to these matches.
• Improved host selection using bandwidth testing and previous hosting data has been added.
• Before the match begins, teams are balanced based on XP without splitting parties.
• Renames Private Matches to Custom Xbox LIVE Matches and makes these matches invite-only.
• Adds the ability to join Horde sessions that are in progress.
• In Social Horde, you can join a session in progress through matchmaking and you are able to continue your session from the last wave you failed without starting over.
• In Ranked Horde, you can join a session in progress only through invites.
• If you join a session in progress, at the end of the session you receive the score you achieved during the time you spent in the session.
• Improves the precision of weapon selection using the D-pad.
• Improves client-side hit detection for ballistic weapons.

Exploit Fixes

Title Update 6 fixes these possible exploits, where under certain circumstances:

• Execution rules could be ignored when using certain weapon types.
• On the Subway map, you could get outside of the playable environment by sliding into cover and rolling between a train car and the side of tracks.
• On the Blood Drive map, you could get outside of the playable environment in various locations.
• Players could grief other players on Submission, Annex, King of the Hill, and Guardian games by preventing the objective from being completed while racking up experience. Title Update 6 adds match time limits to each of these game types to prevent this practice.

General Fixes

Title Update 6 fixes these other issues as well:

• An issue that could cause your profile to be overwritten, erasing XP level, and achievement progress.
• An issue that could cause a campaign save slot to be overwritten if you previously chose to continue without saving and then signed in.

Balancing

Title Update 6 makes these balancing changes:

• Changes the Gnasher Shotgun pellet pattern to increase hit consistency.
• Changes the Guardian game type to select the leader based upon XP level (highest to lowest).

TU6 Release Notes 5/17/2010 [Epic Forums via CVG]

(by LLWhite 9ers)

As I woke Tuesday morning, I felt an overwhelming sensation…..Gooch was going to be told he was adopted. I didn’t think much of it, while I was giving myself the stranger before I headed into work. As my day went on, I day dreamt about what other ELers were doing before the showdown at highway zero later that night. Gooch was reading a self-esteem book about “Why doesn’t my mommy give me a allowance for babysitting my baby sister”, Legolas was groping his pregnant wife’s nips, Rak contemplating where he went wrong in his life, Estragion ass-sliding down theGrampian mountains, Smackster obsessing over Navy boys’ undies, and Gunloc sleeping while drooling and dreaming about future loses in split-second…losers, all losers!!

As the race started, Gooch spun out to an early lead. Smackster, Estragion, and I were battling behind him for must the race. Of course, there are the lesser skilled players behind us….cough cough Rakies, Legolas the dutch douche, and Gunbells…cough cough…battling and cock blocking each other from moving up a position. As Smackster, Estragion, and I continued our scuffling, I managed to finally elude Smack”Navy boys’ against his mouth”ster and Estragion”I wish I was American”potter, so I could envitably go one on one with Gooch”wish I had hair on my balls”bieber. Around lap number 7 I was closing the gap between Gooch bieber and I. Bieber couldn’t handle the driving aspect or the pressure of the race and kept running into cars, my items, and disruptions of his sister playing with his beanie baby collection.  At the end of lap number 8 is when we were neck and neck. As I told Gooch on our xbox live party chat, which his mic still wasn’t working..fag…, can you handle 9ers 9 inches of expert racing??? Well, everyone knows the answer to that Jbrrrhrrr!

Final standings for this race..1^stBrrrking, 2^ndGooch Bieber, 3^rdSmackster, 4^thEstragion, 5^thGunloc, 6^thLegolas haha, 7^thRak.

The tables have turned for the flying englishman and the oh so tangy legolas the love bus! Thanks to a loop hole in the rules lateralus and estragion faced off mate to mate in the downtown of shibuya country.

The race started off like it was going to be head to head the whole way but thanks to mr potter pulling some spells out of his hat, just happened to get 3 sets of triple missles. Since the race was so short handed guess who got fed all 9 missles, thats right this guy! So around lap 6 lateral started getting triple boost sneaks and still couldnt catch up to estragions euro connection...it was sad.
 

And to all you leaguers, me and estragion loves our mums very much, but had the common courtesy to either call or drop off flowers very early in the day so we could attend the race.
 

P.S those of you who blame gunloc for not getting ahold of you or reminding you that the race is always tuesdays and sundays 7pm eastern time can suck estragions fat wanker and lick my tiganutous nutsack.

"God save the Queen" is what Estragion yelled as he took his 1st win in our EARL league. There was something foul going on before the race and ya know what... I bet this bicycle riding fool had something to do with it.

Some how between Sunday and Tuesday... Gooch's Cuban Internet provider was attacked with a firewall spell to make sure he can't race with us again. Will gooch ever have a chance to prove his skill again? Who cares... Haha

Thanks to all that showed up this past Tuesday for our race. The final results were...

Estragion in 1st, 9ers in 2nd, Slim in 3rd, Gunloc in 4th, Rak in 5th, and Happy Slut in 6th. Oh yeah and even though he couldn't race Gooch in 7th. He showed up and tried his best to join.... It's in the rules.

I won't be online for this Sundays race So good luck to all of you!

Here's how the race played out

In the beginning it was kinda close, but that quickly changed with the awesome Me gaining the lead and keeping it. Even with a short lived come by Estragion or Raisonx in second shooting shit at me the whole race, I was never worried i might loose my position. How could I be so cocky you ask?? Well that's a simple question to answer. You see Gunloc, Estragion and Slim couldn't even stay on track. They didn't even finish race! 

A sad performance by 2 of the "best racers" in our league if you ask me.

(note)

This write up is late cause I asked Gooch to do it at the last minute. Not his fault  I was lazy.

~Gunloc

I'm sure Gooch and Estragion think a more fitting title would be... "I love it when a plan comes together" or some shit like that. But that would be bullshit and everybody who was in Tuesdays race knows that. Truth is that about halfway threw the 2nd lap I found myself in dead last. Gooch had an impressive lead and never lost it... Estragion had a strangle hold on 2nd as usual and RasionX in 3rd was shooting missiles backwards like the jackass he always is. 1st, 2nd and 3rd didn't really change much for the whole race. 4th, 5th and 6th... Yeah that's where you would find me...

But fuck me right.. I just won 1st three times in a row so everybody wants to see my ugly avatar off the homepage of eL right? Well you have Happy Slut to thank for making sure that happened. In the last lap, after working with Slim to screw Slut into last place... The 2 of us were working together to take RaisonX out of 3rd... Seems like Happy didn't enjoy the train me and my nigga ran on her and commenced to ramming rocket after rocket up my ass! How many DID she shoot at me?.. I lost count after 9 in a row...  needless to say I got boned hard and with half a lap left to go. I missed the jump cause of another rocket, was passed by the bitch and never recovered.

So congratz to ya Gooch that was some real nice driving, but please somebody tell Legolas to get his preggers wife off my Eloté! 

(By Legolas)

Famous last words by the gooch in yesterdays race at Turbine Loop speedway. The "plan" was simple,,, keep Gunloc from finishing in the top 3 spots...  But we had a mutiny at hand as soon as Gunloc took the lead. Gunloc probably feels real good about getting first again and congratz to him, but cause the plan went to shit... the real action as always was just a few cars behind him.

As usual... I The handsome and Charming Lateralus, did horrible in all the warm up races, but as soon as the main event started... Oh yes it was show time... but sadly it was not meant to be. The flying Englishmen  who I'm sure was defending his position with one hand and playing with his broomstick with the other took 2nd... despite getting fucked with the whole race by the Gooch. With 3rd place still up for grabs, the Gooch (with a big frown on his face) made sure he took home the bronze. RaisonX who came into the event at the last minute took 4th, leaving me with 5th place.

We did have a special guest appearance, Kenny from south park.  Who ended up last only because he was distracted by raisonx's hairstyle. but no big deal cause...

 No one stuck to the plan anyway,

Well looks like I won again...

Honestly I didn't think I even think I had a chance to win this one. Seeing as I came in last place 4 times in a row when we trial ran this before the big race...

I guess should thank Smack and Rebourne for holding up the event alowing me to get some more practice and in the end not even showing up... Nah... Fuck them fakers!

I earned this win fair and square with a little help from the Gooch. You see he kept screwing over Estragion alowing me to get futher and further away from the pack. Without Mr Linconshire in my way I had nothing to worry about and poor poor Slim... Well he got screwed from every angle.

I told him he should do the write up for coming ion last place, but he said he couldn't cause "he lost his shoelace and couldn't write good."

     Ok ladies here's the race order.

The one the only Gungirl came in first.  With the most unlikely person to come in behind him 9ers followed closely by Me.

     Coming in 4th is Estagion who had to battle it out with Slim to get it but in the end Slim lost by a hair.  He did manage to beat the evil Raisonx with Smackster fighting valiantly but to no avail... Ending with him taking home 4 points in last place.

     Believe it or not... this Tiger Woods look-alike has some racing skill. In the last 2 races he has placed 1st and 2nd putting him in 4th place overall.

     If it wasn't for estragion all top 3 spots would be held by colourfull people.

Well, stranger things have happened... Like this...

     How I managed to end up with just 2 Microsoft points is beyond me... Which is a lot like what I'm sure Estragion was thinking when I came in 1st place during Sundays race.

     It wasn't easy but I managed to take the 1st and also take top spot on the leaderboards. Anybody who has a copy of this game handy should get in on the action and enjoy the bollocks that only eL can bring you.
