(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Treyarch's Design Director has been at it again on the CoDHQ forums . This time he's addressed the idea of RC-XD racing. The RC-XD has a 30 second time limit before it automatically explodes, which disappointed those who hoped to have some racing fun.

Although there won't be any racing going on in public and wager matches, you will have the option to disable the time limit for the RC-XD in private matches.

What I said was that you could disable (the timer) in Private Match. You don't adjust the timer.

We did dork around with an RC-XD car race Wager Match type but it was a lot of work for only modest amount of fun and was only playing even remotely decent on a small percentage of maps.

The biggest challenge was that once you fell into the bottom positions recovery from it become really difficult. Solutions meant implementing too many "racing game" mechanics and features. That is best left to games like Blur, not Call of Duty.

Disable the timer in Private Match. Make up your own rules. Play with friends that will honor the rules and have at it. We put that in specifically because you said you wanted it. — Vahn

Good thing they really listen. Robert Bowling would've left a twitter message saying "I'm getting my hair cut" instead of replying on community questions, go Treyarch

Cheers for posting this look like Black Ops is going to be a lot of fun! XD

Ok black ops is going to be too much. Maybe they should cut it in half, sell two games, and sell 10miillion each. RC RACING FOR BLACK OPS! LETS GO TREYARCH!

Sounds good, seems like Treyarch have re-discovered their sense of fun =D

lol i was thinking about making a race with the cars :p but now that i saw this then ill try and race for 30 seconds

Racing people will be asses and explode at the start though
