Post: RC-XD Racing

(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

No there's no need to worry about the timer, the actual whole point of this thread is saying you can change the time limit of the RC-XD car in private match, so you can race =D

the racing sounds lyk a awesome idea but i can see why they put a timer on it for normal games but i can guarantee its gonna annoy the funk outta people on search and destroy if they have 6 exploding cars coming there way!


I really can't imagine that happening. 3 at the absolute most, and that's on the last round, if players shared their kills and 3 of them didn't die
