KING & INFECTED

KING & INFECTED CHALLENGE

Looking for a bit of competition here guys. Iv been playing Horizon for a while but never seem to be able to find someone who can knock me off my pedestal. Iv come accross plenty of healthy competition but believe it or not i prefer to play against people who are better than me. I love the challenge. Not only that but King players are becoming rare. Using this challenge as an oppurtunity to pull some KING players out of the woodwork.

Iv made a similar post like this before but in the old forum so i thought id start it up again.

Iv noticed not many people are playing King all that much. I don’t see more than 5 lobbies at one time. Sometimes there are zero. I love playing King, more than I like anything else on Horizon but its getting hard due to REALLY BAD DRIVERS or GLITCHERS! So iv had the idea to keep a lobby going for the people who like to play King competitively with a variation of Infected (I find constant infected extremley boring and thats all that seems to be played online) but without the idiots.

For those that are interested:

Game: King & Infected on Beaumont, Eagle Ridge or Carson Warehouses on rotation or winner Chooses game (Hopefully everyday - Between the times of 18:00 - 23:00 UK time) Greenwich Mean Time Zone (UTC+00:00)
(My default way - Start at R1, Start with King, Switch to Infected, Rotate map, King, Infected, Rotate map, King, Infected, Back to first map, Drop to R2, Rinse and repeat… All the way down to E then back to R1 again,)

Time: 3 - 10 mins (Depending on the lobby size)

Class: Either Class Rotation or Winner Chooses Class (Lobby title will state)

ASSISTS: - ABS ON - TCS OFF - HANDICAPS 0% - SIMULATED STEERING OFF
(Depending on the drivers in the lobby at the time i may switch ABS off or Sim Steering on but if your finding it too difficult just PM me and ill change the difficulty)

Lobby Name: Class/Map Rotate, King and Infected or Winner Chooses Game

Simple Rules:

1 - Aim for the king/None infected if you are Infected

(Side swiping the car next to you when battling to reach the king/none infected who is a few feet ahead is fine but smashing others head on into a wall purposely is dirty. This may be a contact game but that kind of move is uncalled for. It only angers players into leaving)

2 - No Glitching

(I know of all the glitch area’s/cars on Beaumont and Carson. You may use these cars but use them at your own peril. I will take a picture of you in the act and will send it to a MOD and they will ban you. You have been warned)

3 - Cornering & Braking

(DO NOT USE ANOTHER CAR TO BRAKE OR TURN A CORNER - Its infuriating, especially when you are driving a high powered rear wheel drive car with all assists off. Wait for an opportunity to pass. Be the better driver. It creates a better atmosphere)

4 - Mistakes

(Mistakes can happen, crashing into someone when aiming for the king then all of a sudden he/she pulls a quick manoeuvre and you hit someone else. The best way is good sportsmanship… 1 word … Sorry. Again, It creates a better atmosphere)

5 - AWD/4WD Drivers

(Please be careful, yes we know you have the ability to smash into the wall at full speed then burn off lightning quick but FWD and RWD don’t have that ability. They must drive carefully so please be mindful of their driving line. For them, Corners must be taken properly)

6 - Microphone

(No stupidity like putting your mic up to you phone and playing something annoying like high pitched sounds or to your sound system and blasting extremely loud music. Its not funny, its very childish)

7 - Communicating

(Banter is more than welcome, I love a bit of trash talk provided no SERIOUS insults are thrown in. Keep it light, any insults then please address it about the opponents driving skills and not the person)

If any person feels that they would like to play but think they wont be able to handle the settings then throw me a message, join our club, use our cars which are built for King & Infected and give it a blast. I’ll quite happily give you tips/pointers as we play. If you end up enjoying it and want to stay in the club then cool, the more the merrier. If not that’s no problem, ill give you the car of your choice from the club garage as a parting gift.

Any takers???

[Note: For anyone accepting the challenge or anyone who just wishes to join for fun would you please reply in here to make things a little easier for me. I dont mind PMs usually but with design requests flying at me too im having to note down whos who and what they are after or what game they are playing etc
Trying to get a little more organised. Would make it easier for me if i had everything about the King & Infected Challenge posted in here. Thanks in advance]

For anyone whos up to the challenge… Beat me in a game of King and you can choose any one car from my storefront as the prize.

MADurks Storefront


Managed to pull in the best King player i have ever gone up against… TVDL2000. Although he did catch me on my last game which kind of annoyed me but he is playing again tomorrow :slight_smile: Im really looking forward to it. Despite his defeat (Hes not played Horizon for a long time) He gave me a run for my money. I didnt catch the king for the first 2 - 3 mins. I thought i was gonna get my ass handed to me. If ya’ll are looking for a challenge, tomorrows line up so far:

MADurks
Hippie Robbie
TVDL2000
GARF902

Come on… 4 more!!!

Tonights game… what can i say. The best game iv had in a long time and i only played for about an hour. Played with just TCS OFF i think, if i heard it right (i wouldnt know coz i drive full sim and Garf902 was host) TVDL2000 was on form tonight. Although there were a few really bad drivers that kept on getting in his way and knocking him around, He didnt get King as much as he should of. Got my ass handed to my on the last game on Carson Warehouses though. He tore shreds out of both me and Garf902. I just couldnt keep up.
Garf902 too had his fair share of good games. What i like about this guy the most is his god dam sneaky little moves where he just pops out of nowhere when you least expect it. Top notch driver. And to top it off, He doesnt like to go past R3. 3 like minded gold 50 drivers in the same lobby playing King. I dont usually use this word cause its so over used but tonights game was epic. Had a good laugh the whole way through so thanks lads :slight_smile:

Even though it wasnt my lobby i would still like to gift over a couple of cars as a thankyou for a long awaited decent challenge. TVDL2000 and GARF902… feel free to chose any car from my storefront for free, Post on here the car of your choice and ill go about sending it when i come online tomorrow.

Edit: And just to make your car choice unique ill add a bumper sticker saying “I kicked MADurks butt!” to sweeten the deal. I know TVDL will like that.

Heya buddy,

Yes it was allot of fun being on king again against one of the few that could give me a run for my money back in the day. Even though I handed you you’re a*s in 1 game I have to admit, at this moment you are the baumont KING wether it be that my level has deteriorated or you’re level of play has improved beyonf my possibilities… Wellllll lets put it this way: there’s only one way that we can find that out :wink:

I accept you’re prize, but not just yet. While I can appreciate the hard work put into the lightning McQuen designs and all that they don’t really butter my buiscuit, AND all of you’re designs are on cars that I so rarely use that if I were to put them on, they would fall into oblivion. So i’m telling you to design something nice/cool/different and put the "handed durks’s as" line on the Exige cup 240

I’m happy to see GARF in there ass well. I was not expecting a north american driver to do as well as he did! (Yes interpret that as a challenge people as that’s what I wrote it for!!)

Hope to see allot more of the (as madurks loves to put it) “epic” games in the nearby future with some full lobby’s preferably!!!

Do you like my Lotus?

Edit: Designing you a Lotus from scratch. Will try to have it finished by tomorrow.

I’m sure this is the wrong place for this, but since I can’t find the right one, I’m gonna ask any way.

What the hell is the secrete to beating the “Agent of Speed” Showcase? I mean, we as drivers HAVE to follow the road, yet the helicopter can fly cross country and cut corners by miles. Between two of the check points it flies through the first… and not once does it even come close to the road, until it goes through the other, flying in a straight line.

Any suggestions… other then breaking the disk would be a great help.

Your right, This is not the right place for your post bro. I would love to help you but its been so long since iv done the showcases that i wouldnt know where to start. What i do remember is, Even though it seems like the helicopter is going to win it wont if you just keep on going. It waits for you. Put it on the easiest difficulty and you shouldnt have a problem.
Post any problems you have here Horizon Discussion and someone will surely help you.

Back on Topic:

Tonights game was good at the start until the lobby filled with laggers, wall riders, rammers and just very bad drivers in general. I hated the last 2 - 3 games as im sure TVDL and Garf will also agree so im now going to make this lobby private. If you want in to the game just send me a friend request (with a simple message saying “forum” so i know im not accepting some random friend request) and join when your ready.

Im also going to make the game and class majority vote or winner chooses instead of rotation of maps/class so please make sure you have your mic on if your coming to join the fun.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I’d delete it… but ave no clue how.

TVDL, your prize awaits inspection. Iv left space free on the car for any ideas you might have. Let me know if you want anything added before I send it over.

MADurks - Nice job on the car. Wish I was involved. Maybe next time. I’m rather busy but I think I’ll play in a future event.

This is an everyday event bro. Drop me a friend request and join whenever you get the free time.

I’m lovin how she looks buddy! VERY nice job!!! just 1 tiny thing… make that I kicked you’re ass BIGGER!!!

I’ll try it bolder 1st and if you still dont like it ill enlarge it. If i make it too big it might destroy the look of the car. I’ll look into it shortly…

Changed the colour to make it stand out more and enlarged it a little. Let me know what you think…

Some people say perfection does not exist… in line with what some poeple believe… this comes pretty damn close… as such… that’s pretty damn good by my standards! ship it on over!

Thanks dude and if you can think of anything later that you want to add, just tell me and ill get on it asap. I still think there is something missing though…

For anyone who is interested, Last nights games were crap but tonights games were pretty good. It was an open lobby that i ended up joining. Smashed it, Then TVDL joined and between us we pretty much held king through out all of the games. Great competition between the two of us. We still need more decent players…

Oh and just before i went offline the lobby ended up being just me as usual, Quit, Joined a couple but got booted before even having chance to play. But there was one lobby that made me giggle. 2 guys from the same crew, game set to D class on King. Both drove a Fiat 595 (you know whats coming) so i took my Lotus Elan as a precaution coz i can catch them in the act with this car. Never needed it though. These 2 idiots humiliated themselves completley. The poor souls tried so hard to reach the glitch area, working together playing pass the king to each other and i still won haha. The best one was when i started with King. I held it all the way to the end and parked right by the glitch area and one of them grabbed it for just over half a second. I might start a little game for myself. Glitcher hunting. Start working my way through lobbies just to take the mick out of cheats. Thats not a bad idea…hmmm…

Hi,
I’m totally new to all this.
Reading your posts about glitches and cheats. I have no idea what it means in terms of what they do.
Yet am finding out the hard way I think even in online racing ??
Can this happen there too ??.
Back on track I would like to join you one evening but feel I would shame myself with how you are talking Lol.
As I’m a beginner at this lark. Also can only use a wheel controller !.
We live in dreams, Great car designs too.
