Mightily pissed off that the sound problems don't appear to be just in my head.
Others have experienced similar problems with sound pops and lags.
One might be replicatable by others -
Tsukuba Short - After first corner, before the esses.
Have you installed the game? PGR4 had the same issues when installed.

I can't get on XBL with my shitty campus internet, so I was kinda counting on the LAN option. This is very disappointing.

no systemlink is a major letdown.

I seriously hope that this somehow finds it way in, after all, system link is required for multi screen gaming, the lobby system is there by way of xbox live. So why just not have a fucking system link playing option in there?
Truth be told, the system link has always been lacking behind other games with no split screen while playing in system link in previous iterations. But still, to just cut it out completely? That does not make any sense to me at all.
First off I gotta say it's BS that if I wanted to compare FM3 to other games in terms of LAN capabilities I'd be banned...yet people can
post stuff like this and not have to worry about anything.
So I'll be very very general here. System link is a standard and should have been in there no ifs ands or buts and split screen SL would have been very nice too. But the lack of SL is very odd because it's fairly fundamental IMO.
Nevermind that it's something that my buddies and I do for numerous racers. Let's say that outside of my circle of friends that no one else has racing LAN parties...
Wouldn't it be useful when showcasing it at events or making it an official MLG game? Speaking of MLG I'm pretty sure they've had Forza 2 and PGR3/4 as competitive games.
Here's a workaround if you have access to the internet: Create new Silver accounts for each of your Xboxes with the game. You get a month of Gold free and so you can continue on with your LAN party. I don't know if the network conditions are ideal or if any amount of LAG is still present...but it would work I would think. If you have a LAN party at community centers or places like that that have no Internet access then you are screwed.
In unrelated good news for me...I got a confirmed LE pre-order for myself! Long story short:
-not too long after E3 announcement go to EB to pre-order LE edition and they say that the LE SKU is not in their system. Since this is in Canada I wasn't surprised things are usually like this. They say I should pre-order the regular and upgrade to LE when it appears in their system.
-go a couple months later to upgrade and they say LE is sold out completely across Canada
-so I pre-order at all the EBs in my area in case anyone doesn't want the LE the day of release I can upgrade
-just went to EB to see if they have an accurate picture of how many LE's are coming in and how many pre-orders they have.
-they have 15 coming in and 14 LE pre-orders! This was in a smaller not very busy EB Games so I think I got lucky!
Also I just ordered the Fanatec wheel. I am not really able to afford it until early next year...but I really can't wait for it I'm fed up with my MS Wheel which I will try to fix and if that fails I'll be wheel-less for a while.
