me and my friends will sometimes play 4 on 4 team race. It is a lot of fun and involves a lot more strategy than you would think. We usually play sidewinder or blood gulch which are the best (because you can drive) with nav points and we use lowest time ranking. It plays a little bit like CTF but it really depends on the situation. We always assign positions. Sniper, Rocketeer/Runner, gunner, and driver. the rocketman sits passenger while the sniper posts in one of the bases or a special spot to try and take out the drivers before they can run over the next nav point. Gunner shoots like crazy. Driver tries to get your rocketman a shot out on the other warthog or run over the nav point, and in some situations the rocket/runner will hop out to get the next point if its in a room or a tough spot you cant get the hog in. anyways, we play 5 or 10 laps because with all of the strategies we use it may take a while to get down a few laps. anyways feel free to post any other ideas, strategies or comments and be sure to give it a shot sometime, because i know RACE is well overlooked

I play race mate, with my sister because she hates Vs'ing me in deathmatch and doesnt like any other game type other than maybe rocket arena. I think race is pretty awsome and involves alot of tactics reaching those flags. I love no time limit and just doing laps with her. I usualy try block entrances and steal her vehicle on Side Winder to slow her down. We also play Blood gultch as those 2 levels are really the only ones worth playing race on.

Alot of you probably think race sucks but its very fun, it adds a new exciting element to just killing each other.

P.S Dont play rally....rally suck ass, only race.

yeah we dont play rally we just play flat out race, but where it gets hard with 4 on a team is you still have to make sure that at least on person hits all of those checkpoints because everyone has to hit a checkpoint individuallyit doesnt just count as a team checkpoint if one person gets it

i am glad at least one person agrees with me, i think that everyone can get fun out of race. It feels like your actually playing to gain something besides bragging rights but your not

agreed on that for sure.

Most of the time, me and my friends usually dont actually race, but play bumper hogs. We try to set it up so each player has a warthog (usually doesnt work out that way, but sometimes it does) and just go nuts. Its hilarious

we play race in blood gulch and im proud to say my fastest time was 81.44, but we play warthog battle rules in that the only way u can interrupt or kill people is by ramming them with yur own warthog and then trying to run them down, no grenades, no rockets, or shots to kill, but once a person finishes all their they are allowed to play spoiler for their team and try to kill people on the other team by any means neccessary. its actually a lot of fun too and takes a bit of skill. and thanks to my insane gran turismo 3 skills i am undefeated at the BG
