Actually I was talking about the BMW in Most Wanted.Yes,MW has a monstrously tuned M3 GTR(in a way,the whole game revolves round it).
Now that you mention it,I noticed that you mistyped GTR as GTA.

Hey does anyone here play Voyage Century Online?

As much as I would love to play online titles, my net connection sadly doesn't provide so much bandwith. How I wish my work-place would allow playing online multiplayer games!

The only time I have played online was back in 2006 and the title was 'Diablo-II'. Online questing with friends from over the world was REAL fun!

On topic of multiplayer gaming, how many of us here have expereinced multiplayer gaming, of any sort - over LAN or the internet? I have played substantial multiplayer games over LAN but not so much over the net. Among the multiplayer titles, I absolutely LOVE Quake-III Arena and NFS series. AoE also is cool although I get really bored very quickly off the RTS games..

@pranay - trust me, turn up the volume, if you don't have good speakers, get the best pair of headphones you can find - i always prefer headphones, the level of detail in the audio department in this game NEEDS a good pair of cans! Turn up the volume a weeee bit, and prepare to see your heart rate spiking every now and then!

Bringing to light, which I haven't seen discussed in this thread so much before, is the importance about headphones in gaming. Greyanaroth put forth a very good point here. I actually have actually have a good set of headphones but I don't use them for gaming. I have always been using the Creative speakers.

I was just wondering the effectiveness of headphones in gaming. I did some searching of products. I came across this. The mother of all gaming headphones. Yes, there are such things called Gaming Headphones.

$199 for the headphones

and to use them effectively u gotta buy the amp ...as a bundle thats $249

You do get other gaming headphones though from other brands starting from $100.

Which brings me to this question: which would you opt? 5.1/7.1 speakers or gaming headphones with simulated 5.1/7.1

I have played in MulitPlayer only once. It was for an inter-collegiate that we had organised projectors. We hooked up the projector to a LAN, installed DOOM 3, NFS 7 and CoD(I dont remember 1 or 2) and played through the night. Since we were the organisers we were allowed to stay overnight. Only 5-10 of the whole class of 60 went home. Awesome experience!!

P.S : Imagine playing DOOM 3 at 3 AM with 10 - 15 others on a projector with the image around 10*10 and u will understand. Did that in single player too and was truely shaking to my inner core!

actually pranay ...240 $ is not a really big amount for the kinda performance this headphone give. I still remember people who have bought the bose ear plugs for the double the price of the original here - Rs.8k.

also considering the amp gives you a digital out - it is well worth the buy.

headphones are good...sounds seem very accurate, but i would prefer a solid 5.1 speaker system( more than enough compared to 7.1). And yeah, digital outs please - either coax or optical. no analog connections which is standard on most lower end creatives and others (5.1 or 7.1)
