Quick Instructions on How To Duplicate: Find someone who has the car you want and hop in with them in any seat. Call up Gerald or another character and start a mission. Go ahead an start that mission by yourself, when you start you will be in a duplicate car. Put that car in your garage during the mission. Either complete or fail the mission. When you exit the duplicated car will be in your garage. Insure it!   Duping Obey Tailgater & Franklin's Buffalo:   I currently have two rare cars that I can share if you want one. Franklin's Buffalo Obey Tailgater   Note: the plate of the buffalo reads "EXPLOITS" as that was the way it was set for the guy who gave it to me. I don't yet have custom plates, but a person I did this for said his custom plates overwrote that. So it shouldn't be an issue.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtbqtkXEggQ

I've been playing for about 4 hours now, and here's what I've concluded so far. Visuals The game looks really good. The lighting is amazing. Trackside isn't always the best looking, but the cars themselves are really good looking inside and out, and the weather effects are quite good. This is probably one of the better looking games I've played in the PS4, and definitely the best racing game I've played (understandably). Sound The sounds are absolutely incredible. One of my favourite parts of the game so far is just hearing the engines scream at 9000rpm, then the slight jump in RPM to bounce off the redline as you jam the clutch in to shift. It just captures the sound so well. Vehicle Handling The handling of the cars is pretty damn good. It really puts emphasis on getting your tires and brakes warm before you can really run good laps. So far, every race I've been in needed 1 lap to properly warm up the drive tires. Once the tires show green on your HUD, you're good to go all out. Controls If you're playing with a controller, you really really need to spend 10-15 minutes fine tuning the adjustments. I found the stock settings did not go well with my way of driving, so I had to modify them. I started with the settings found here and adjusted them accordingly to my style. Once that was set, I had a hell of a better time controlling my car. I went into the Clio Cup for my first class of races. You can really tell the difference between FF, FR, MR, and RR vehicles in this game, and it feels like it's not just 'FF understeers, FR oversteers' etc. The cars really do feel completely unique. So far other than the Clio, I've taken the Caterham Classic, BMW 320 Turbo (a ton of fun), the classic Merc 190E Evolution (another hugely fun car to drive), and Formula A (see video below) out for a spin, and have enjoyed all of them so far. The game really does have most major racing disciplines covered, and I'm really looking forward to trying out all of them. Even karts, which GT really put me off of. Here's a video of me testing out the Formula A for the first time. I've read in a lot of places they're very difficult to handle, so I took it slow, warmed up the tires, then tried to do a full speed lap. I'm racing with stability control and ABS, manual gearbox, no traction control, no racing line or anything (I tried the racing line but it was pretty bad. Break points were way off).

WHAT?! Without a clan vote? DICTATOR! TIME FOR A COUP! But seriously, I whole-heatedly support this.

As many of you know, I do road construction for a living and I've been laid off since the day after Thanksgiving. I have managed to bitch and moan my way into going back to work a few weeks early. This means that I will actually have money and a life again soon. I'm very happy to be going back to work and I thought I'd share the good news.

A little update: I returned to work this week and the week was stressful to say the least. My company attempted to demote me without giving me a reason why and the bosses were all over my ass for things that were beyond my control. It wasn't the return to work I was looking forward to having. Needless to say, this made me miserable. A friend of mine got a new job and he told me about it. I went to the company that hired him and they hired me right there on the spot. They offered me more money than I'm currently making, better benefits, more paid time off, more training, room for advancement, and a better overall work environment. Needless to say, I'm very excited about going to this new company and the opportunity to succeed. My my first day at the new job will be May, 4th.

Are you going to change your name to MyBalzinHerHand now that you are hitched? Congrats again Randy. Way to make an honest woman out of her finally!

We here at mXm wish all of you and yours a safe holiday with friends, food, and family.

[quote name='BalzOnYer4Head' timestamp='1382751481' post='3455'] I play either of them because you all do. Otherwise, if there was a good TPS on a console, I'd be with Unit gettin tactical, hell we would all be gettin tactical. Lookin forward to The Division and H-Hour. BS, you play so you can prestige and call people homosexual slurs. Be honest. :P

[quote name='kotaco' timestamp='1336245442' post='2055'] I wonder what will happen if you look directly at the laser. You'll see everything in 1080p

Man both of ya married hot gingers!

That @BalzOnYer4Head guy looks like he was just having a hard time adjusting to the different style of racing he has never really messed with....

DAMN, I just realized its been OVER A YEAR since I first made this post introducing myself to mXm (02/10/2014). Although I haven't been a member that entire time, I have really enjoyed getting to know you so far. Aeterna Est Fides.

​Isn't that what I said? Lol!

Versus GTA V online. #gta5 #ps4 #sharefactory #boldversus

I don't know what you guys are saying, but I think I need to get a better CPU and video card.

My current mood, as musically reflected by The Budos Band record, "The Sticks".

   

Hope everyone is having a good Christmas and or whatever holiday you celibate at this time of year .

Spent a lot of time on GTA this morning just driving around trying to find some jumps to hit and see the sites ... Had one crazy jump that I had to get on youtube . It was a fun morning ...

What an amazing trip; I loved betting on the electromagnetic horses in Sigma Derby. The nightclub "Insert Coins" was great; great drinks + mixers, two large tv's, and consoles, arcades, plus two waitresses and a game runner at our disposal. Also, battling my arch nemesis, Rudy, in "Funhouse" the pinball game, at the Pinball Museum. Overall, a really good time. Even managed to sleep 7 hours each day while I was gone. That's twice as much as I normally get on any given day...

It is true, I have secured my copy, running through the campaign mode first like usual. Might take a stab at online later. Too many of the clan have it for me not to have it, and of course a nod to mXm's very best salesman on swaying me some on picking it up. Also, BEWBS

I love the new mobile theme. I may be able to write a shoutbox plugin if there aren't any options for this version yet.

Plane tickets have been purchased; double room suite at the Mandalay Bay reserved. I rarely use the word "epic", but this trip is sure to be.

Personally I love the game .... Best fun I have with this is when ya hack the AI's phones until one of them report you to ctOS and put a bounty on your head ... then ya kick back and try to find the one running around in your game and kill them before they can initiate the hack .... One guy even messaged me after I took him down and asked How did I know he was in my game ..... He was walking on the train tracks ... The AI doesn't do that ... Also when you take on a 1v1 contract and win , keep in mind a FIXER will be in your game right after .... I suggest to drive fast and far . at least out of the main city to an open area and get ready for someone speeding toward ya ...... then blast away at em .... really have been having a lot of fun with this game !!!

This was a fantastic note to cap my 40th birthday! After 320+ miles in torrential downpour on the motorcycle, braving hairpin turns at too high a speed for heavy weather, this was a great note to finish on! I appreciate all of you and the solid conversations we have had thus far. I look forward to gaming with all of you and connecting more in the years to come. This has already been an enjoyable ride. If I haven't added you, please hit me with a request. In the meantime, be easy and take care! P.S. Destiny (Alpha) has brought back REALLY good memories of HALO. I will have a more informed opinion after more hours on in-world. Stay tuned and thanks again! Aeterna Est Fides Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

[quote name='kotaco' timestamp='1392167146' post='4176'] SIDEBAR: Kotaco, is it possible for you to add me to the crew online in GTA? I understand if there is a probationary period where you have to actually evaluate how I get down online. :) Yeah I'll add you, the "probationary period" is more so for general membership to the clan itself, but we don't mind having you on the GTA crew to have a home so to speak.

Correct Odin and thanks for sharing! @ Andy, you bet your ass I gave some good input! As soon as I am allowed (as in SOF studios gives the Alpha testers the greenlight) I will have a full write up on my experience at the studio and with H-Hour! Lets just say I have not been this excited about a shooter in a VERY LONG TIME.   I absolutely can say that this is the game we all have been waiting for. I encourage all of our members to get over to the H-Hour forums and get involved. They are very forthcoming with information and really thrive on the community feedback that they get from sharing screenshots or even their Alpha build video releases. They are doing something that no other studio does when it comes to these kinds of things. Knowing how rabid the SOCOM community is, and fully understanding the line in the sand they are making when they say "The spiritual successor to SOCOM 1 and 2", the devs and community leaders are actively posting and getting feedback on all sorts of aspects of the game.   So...friggen...pumped, for this game!

Hey man can I have the Buffalo please. My PSN ID is KING-FISHER8 and if you add me, I'll probably be playing this afternoon if that's okay :D I also have a few rare cars that i can duplicate for you aswell if you want - such as the Benefactor Schafter, Canis Bodhi (Trevors Truck), Special Canis Mesa (The merryweather variant) and the Imponte Phoenix. Done

This place will ebb and flow with life events and gaming events being the main catalysts. Usually on the weekends I have some sort of house chore to do, especially in the summer here in FL where its the rainy season. The Foliage and I are constantly at war. At night if I dont have to work on Saturday, sometimes even if I do, and she is at work, I game it up. When she is off I try to spend some QT with her. I also take care of my chickens, I have a small flock of five "egg layers". I clean their coop, water and food bowls, fresh bedding. With my little Jetta now past 200 thousand on the clock, there is always something that needs replaced, or upgraded. In the summer though I usually just do whats needed as its too friggen hot for stuff I want to do. Of course there is the customary fucking off on the internets. Also, masturbation A LOT of masturbation. :rubout:

Thanks for stopping by. Indeed H-Hour is on all of our lists. When you tout something like "Spiritual Successor to the original SOCOM's", you are going to have our attention. We love that old style of tactical, third person, one life to live type of gameplay. Send us some invites, and we'll send ya some too. Come hang out if ya like, we usually post in the shoutbox when jumping on to a particular title. You won't be the oldest gamer that hangs out in the community. (ha ha Odin) and I am 37. But the age range here goes from early 20's into the 40's. It was definitely all downhill from S3. We some how manged to stay alive and even pick up some new members along the way. We are a laid back group that like to get our frag (and race) on as a way to relax. Also, Andy will teamkill you in a hot second, without warning. Don't take it personal, he cant help it, he's Canadian.

[quote name='BalzOnYer4Head' timestamp='1375361012' post='2991'] That was a great read! Got me a little misty eyed! This will also answer the questions of those who wonder why I call you Unit from time to time. Its just the name that stuck in my head for you, and now, I use it as a reference to your long standing position with the clan. There isnt a single dooubt in my mind that had you gone your separate way, this clan would of perished like many others. You are, and always will be, our friend, and a cornerstone of this community. Thanks for all you have done, Unit. Very well said Balz. I also always think in my head that 'Unit' is the name that should be used. Any time I say kotaco (probably mispronouncing it every time) it just doesn't feel right. Also, I'd like to point out a slight incorrect statement. When the two new consoles were announced, it was decided on that we would jump ship to Xbox. I spent an entire paycheque getting a used Xbox 360 so I could play with my beloved mXm, and get into some serious online racing with Balz on Forza. THEN we jumped ship again :handjob: to PS3 and I had to sell my Xbox 360 to buy a used PS3 so I could once again be with my beloved mXm on SOCOM: Confrontation. Needless to say I'm pretty glad we're fairly set on which next-gen console we're decided on. :rocker: :headbang: :intoit:

It's crazy to think about this now, having been in the clan for such a damn long time, but I still remember back in the day how a community of tens of thousands would talk about mXm. After having joined the Sony forums trying to get my headset to work properly (as many did) I perused through each of the SOCOM sub-forums they offered, and kept seeing this clan, mXm. Never a negative word from any sane individual (we all know the words of Manny_Rayy, or however he spelled it). I was intrigued. Never having been in a clan before, it sounded like fun, but from what I saw on the forums, getting into mXm was a very prestigious event, and having only just signed up for the forums, I never thought I'd be recruited. I ended up joining Omni-Tek [.:.] with Assault-Rylox being the leader and had some fun with those guys, being a no-BS clan themselves. We had some fun, and got to play with mXm on a regular basis. I instantly understood where everyone came from - everyone on mXm was easy going, no seriousness whatsoever, and one of the VERY few clans who actually allowed, and encouraged, the use of grenade launchers/rocket launchers. Little did I know this would really be a curse thanks to the surgical precision of one BalzOnYer4Head. Then one of the greatest things happened - a message from Assault-Rylox indicating that we would be merged with mXm. Remember when I said I never thought I'd be recruited? Yeah, I really was never recruited. That was almost 10 short years ago, and in that decade there has been so much shit go on in this clan, but we've never strayed from our roots, regardless of the challenges that were put in front of us, and that is the original reason I wanted to join this clan, and one of the reasons I'm still here today.

Important Updates In mXm 12/31/2004 Another congratulations goes to RYNO our new Executive Officer (XO). Who will head up SOCOMQUEST from here on out. Finally, Congrats to *TRAGIC* who has now been appointed to the position of Sgt. Major. He will head mXm's GB activities and all activities of that nature. Congrats once again to all of our promoted and new staff. Posted by SOCOM Unit 1 on the mXm website Balz Posts His Mission Statement 1/25/2005 Now that I have been in the "hot seat" for a little while, I have been able to figure out what my role as leader to this community is. This isnt only my role, but my duty to all of you. I will do my best, with the officers at my side, to ensure that all of you mXmbers, old and new alike, have a place online that you can hang out with fellow gamers and peers. This place will be a release from the everyday trials and tribulations in life. A place where "everyone knows your name". I will do my best, with the officers at my side, to stay proactive in the online gaming community, and support a fun enviroment for gamers to get there frag on. In SOCOM, and future releases. Lastly, I will do my best, with my officers to keep me in check, provide swift and fair deciscions, to situations that will effect the community and any of its members. All of this with the community's best intrests in mind.

On January 1st 2013, mXm celebrated it's 9th birthday, and 9th year of bringing gamers of many different backgrounds, ages, and experiences together as one family. 9 years ago on that day, January 1st 2004, a gamer by the name of mXm Juggernaut created what would become this group you see before you today, and although he has retired from gaming to focus on family, we still keep him in our hearts and cherish the great times and new family he gave us a chance to be a part of, as well as the memories of all our other great members and friends that have come and gone. For our current members today it has been a pleasure spending these past years with you in our tight-knit family, and even through our slow spells when life gets in the way of gaming, we remain mXmbers united together because it's not just about playing video games, it's about spending time with our friends and family away from home. We look forward to the years to come and the games we have yet to conquer! Aeterna Est Fides! The mXm Command Staff Click here to view the article

I have ordered my upgrades! I have purchased a bottom rail mount, front grip, 3x9 scope, red dot sight, extra magazine, and a tactical sling. I got it all from this place called AR15Outfitters.com. I will snap some pics, before and after once it all arrives. One step closer to gettin this thing on the range and zero'd!

It will be nice to have a good sniper on our side. How are ya at counter sniping? I am terrible at sniping, but absolutely love the SOFLAM in conjunction with a Javelin equipped engineer to knock birds outta the sky and reduce tanks to smoldering piles of metal. Its essential in crushing the enemies ability to use vehicles on us. Now that we might have a dedicated sniper, maybe you can utilize the SOFLAM and I can get some Javelin kills. :lol: Your sniping ability on Sieine Crossing was giving us fits over Delta. So much so I threw all caution to the wind, stormed up them stairs, got your tags, and as I was celebrating this, Unit gunned me down. Damn it. Was good times though!

[quote name='BalzOnYer4Head' timestamp='1335758521' post='1929'] Welcome to the community. You are indeed good with a sniper, as I caught a lot of your well aimed bullets. ($%$#$%##$) :lol: Look forward to more fraggin with ya! You should have heard it "Come on Balz, peek around that corner. I just wanna see your pretty face" BOOM

My little girl, Lilianne Belva Alvarez entered the world on Tuesday, November 29th at 1:13pm. She was 6lbs 10oz and 19 and 1/4 inches long. Mother and baby are doing great!

O~

Call me Crazy!!! But Id much rather have a laptop... tablets are cool but way over priced for what they do compared to a laptop. My ::: 2 cents:::

[quote name='Deucedeuse' timestamp='1299558546' post='865'] none of these statements are helping... I think you should get the Moto Xoom. Why? Because it has mXm in the name. But actually I really know nothing about any of them.

R7 is a series of video cards.  There will be a more specific number with it, like 260, 270, etc.   2GB is a good start, but GDDR3 is generally used a few generations ago.  Not saying it's bad, just a bit older. You should be able to tell exactly what card you have by running 'dxdiag' from the text box at the bottom of the start menu.   The card you have will be under the 'Display' tab.  If that doesn't work, download CPU-Z or Aida64. Those will tell you more about your computer.

Very cool, hopefully you exchanged invites!

Ive had my AIM SN for so long its just part of my online life. Its tethered to my phone so I will get a text message if the app is closed. AIM: NadsOnYer4Head I just use the app for it now so I do not have to be near to a computer which makes it easier to use and access. I also have facebook messenger, but I swear I am but a heartbeat from closing my Facebook account just because it annoys me anymore and its so full of click hunter crap.

and then you are at work in a neck brace.

I will give it a try I guess .. Starting to see more and more Asses getting on COD (it was fun while Most Teenagers didn't have a PS4 yet ) Now COD is going to hell in a handbasket .
