Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.

When I first downloaded Interstate, I really loved the mod, then I got involved in ISR RACING which was about racing on the levels against other skilled player that I have become mates with and I also got involved in the site by helping out and making racing maps for the site, but I feel it has all changed now and people are looking just to shortcut to the end and play around in a chopper or Fuck around in a snowboard with nos, and everyone seems to want to add nos to everything, Car which makes sense yes but not to go 1,000,000 mph, Boats....Pfffft.... and ever snowboards, WTF, so very unrealalistic, and some of the maps I have tested over the months are so badly put together but people seem to love them just because you play around, but it has nothing to do with the interstate mod, its just a map for people to fuck around on, seems like to me the whole reason I joined ISR is lost, I mean never play it any more.......... just help out in make maps and helping others........ This is a racing site and server not a site to mess around and team kill, and play and dance in a frigging Disco... I just wonder how everyone else felt about the whole thing, if it losing it touch or getting better, to my opinion its getting boring with people just wanting to play around and team kill. Am so close to saying fuck it.........
Its true, I go on the server to race and I can only get a good race at the start of the round whilst the gates are up. After that people just piss around and nobody ever wants to race. For example I was having a really fun race on dakar rally last night and then the guy I was racing (wont say his name) decided to take shortcuts. This obviously ruined the small race i was getting untill next round. Maybe circuit race maps like camber sands encourage people to organise races but you always get people in the way who are not racing.
-Myabe it would be a good idea to have 4 short 10 minute rounds as apposed to 2 twenty minute rounds so at least you get a chance to race. <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited 31 Jul : 15:18 ]</span>

skyline your so right, when i began whit interstate (playing it) it was so freaky. racing with other ones and the chill was great evreone wanted to be the first but becose the mapers began to combine racing maps and stunt maps... whole the heat disapeard. thats why i like the pure racing maps (like Lake_Side) and the pure stunt maps (stunt park) but not boath in a map

i agree skyline, but only prob with that preston is that then most of the longer race maps wont be able to be completed, i just say get an admin who can be on more so he can tell stupid lttle noobs to piss off

I know what you mean Skyline. The problem is also that more and more, sorry to say it, noobs find this site... I think it´s good to see new interstaters, but it usually ends in a very bad race. I am looking forward to the tournament and expect very good races there. And I must say I was very happy when I saw "Dakar Rally". That´s what I call a good racing track, with room for more than one car. Not saying I don´t like hard stunt tracks (I am working on "Ultimate") but you can´t pass others. But Skyline, you are right about the nos thing. Putting unlimited nos in everything ruins some of the racing part. Well, not unlimited nos, but no overheat. I don´t care if people spend their time in the disco insted of TK´ing somebody, but spending time in a disco on a server with 16 used out of 16 slots, thats irritating. Waiting 15 minutes to get into a server with 5 people I didn´t knew existed fooling around in a disco throwing knifes at each other without anything happens! It would be cool to make a special day, like the battlemap days, but what about RACING days. Friday: Racing day. Maps: Ace´s Desert Race, Camber Sands, Big Fun, Battle on deathrace, Dakar Rally, Skylines the limit, Gazala Interstate, Final showdown. I mean, that´s eight good racing levels and then we could race!

I agree Skyline. Even though my map was one that was sorta taking away from the Interstate feel, I agree. I remember the days back in the first release of Interstate when I spent endless hours online trying to beat Deathrace with many other people. That was truely fun and is what Interstate was ment for. But now i'm kinda like you Skyline. You will almost never see me playing online anymore. All i ever do is map and help people map. I miss the old days of Interstate when it was truely the most fun I ever had playing Battlefield. It still has the potential of that, but like you said there are too many people who try to, well in lack of better words, fag it up. So I also say that people who just mess around need to just be kicked or go away so that we can all bring back the real Interstate.

These post where complaining posts, let´s now find out how we make things better ´:). Please correct me if I summerized your post in the wrong way!
I say: make race days.
Loaf says: we should kick. People who the mess around should be kicked.
Skyline: says realistic racing maps without nos on snowboards.
Shadow m.: says that we should avoid racing maps and other kinds of maps at the same time.
Presston: says ciriut maps are better for racing but noobs get in the way. Shorter rounds maybe.
I would say that shorter rounds doesn´t solve anything. Shorter rounds force people to race. The problem is that a race level like skylines the limit is hard for some. Some people consider it a deathrace. They use their time to struggle to complete a level, and won´t commit suicide so they can race at 17:45. When you say race at 17:45 you usually ends up at start all alone... Maybe, (I know this sounds stupid) you could make a small flash-game (I can´t). Simply a test in the rules of the server, get all questions right and you get the password for the server. Back to the race at 17:45 thing... People won´t host their own LAN game so they can learn to play a level. They will use the time on the server, and it´s filled up already... Anyway, suggestions to make things better, anyone? <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited 31 Jul : 21:12 ]</span>
