Recap, Screens & Race Winners from Midnight Club: Los Angeles Social Club Multiplayer Event on Xbox LIVE (February 17)

Posted: February 28, 2011 10:30AM | Author: R* Y

If you weren’t a part of our Midnight Club: Los Angeles multiplayer event last Thursday, not only did you miss out on a chance to compete against Rockstars and on a t-shirt giveaway, you also missed out on three hours of streetracing action around Los Angeles. Missing an opportunity like that is inherently a fail, so take this as fair warning that we have another date in our Social Club Multiplayer Events Series on March 4th from 4-7PM Eastern. We’ll be playing Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare on Xbox LIVE, so remember to join us for that (or one of our other events) and get with the winning team.

Speaking of winning, below is a list of the winners and times from each race in our Midnight Club: Los Angeles event. Note to the uninitiated: this is the area you’d want to screencap and post to your friend’s wall on Facebook if you demolished them in a multiplayer event — remember the golden rule, pics or it didn’t happen.

GER b0dE 01, vs Red Bull and GVRafioso1 line up and prepare for the start of the Ordered Race 'Beaches and Beverly Run'. Vs Red Bull took the early lead, being trailed closely most of the time by CoolDude146. Vs Red Bull held on and claimed victory with a time of 01:55.96, compared to CoolDude146's 01:59.63. Nice.

Our own GwRockstar6 uses his 06 S7 to slam another Rockstar GwRockstar3 and his 06999R into the wall at the beginning of one of the first races of the event in the Ordered Race 'Valley Freeways'. Grats to UnloadedWall on crossing the finish line first.

GER b0dE 01, Confirmed Sky, RECYCLOPS dks, LOCOSVILLE, Ninjapocalipse and reixbox get going ahead of GwRockstar3 during a Race Editor race with a fan-made custom map. Congratulations to reixbox on getting 1st place, and we also want to give a shout out to RECYCLOPS dks and his cold, robot heart for placing 3rd.

LOCOSVILLE turns on the jets a tad early as seven others work to navigate the extremely short 20-25 second fan-made Race Editor race. While our own GwRockstar3 had the lead for about 15 seconds, Confirmed Sky pulled ahead at the very last moment, edging out GwRockstar3 by only 11 hundredths of a second.

You've gotta look closely in this one. UnloadedWall appears to be showing off at the beginning of an Ordered Race in 'Welcome to Hollywood', not realizing that a second later GwRockstar3 will be watching ShadowHorse95 and Boogie83e (both above to the right) slam into and cause Unloaded Wall to topple off the motorcycle and faceplant into the Los Angeles pavement. Ouch. A few minutes later, GwRockstar3 finished first.

Good show all around to everyone that took part in the event. You were all as ruthless (and ostentatious with your customizations) in game as we’ve come to expect. You guys have demonstrated once again that you know how to compete hard to leave someone out cold and in the dust. See below for a list of the event participants.

As we mentioned before, the next event is on Friday, March 4th, we'll be playing Red Dead Redemption & Undead Nightmare on Xbox LIVE from 4-7PM Eastern. Come through and join the party.

Also as you may have seen recently, we're doing surprise Triple XP sessions for Red Dead Redemption & Undead Nightmare, these surprise sessions are in addition to what we've been doing for months — randomly jumping online to spontaneously play with you guys. The only way to know when we're on is by following us on Twitter and liking us on Facebook.

Just a heads up that there will be some scheduled server maintenance starting this coming Thursday morning August 26th (ie - tomorrow, Wednesday late night) at 1:00 AM Eastern.  This maintenance will unfortunately require some downtime for Social Club services both on the web and in-game, as well as a few other online services for the games as listed below.  We expect this maintenance period to last in the range of 6-12 hours worst case, so expect services to resume as normal no later than 1:00 PM Eastern time on Thursday afternoon.

Our apologies especially to all our late night and early morning multiplayers who may be inconvenienced for a bit.  Please expect the Social Club website, Social Club accounts, and multiplayer matchmaking services for many of our games to be unavailable during this time.

Note that all single-player game modes will remain unaffected during the maintenance period.

Here is a list of specific services that will be affected during our maintenance window:

Red Dead Redemption:

• Leaderboards
• SC reg/login
• Stats Comparison
• Unlocks
• Challenges
• News

Recap & Screens from Feb 26th Official Social Club Midnight Club Los Angeles Xbox LIVE Event

Posted: March 05, 2010 1:58PM | Author: R* Y

(We floored it for three plus hours in last week's Midnight Club LA Xbox LIVE event...)

Lead-footed competitors from all around the world jumped on to Xbox LIVE last Friday night to unite with us on the streets of Los Angeles - showing off their flashy customized rides and racing for glory in our first Midnight Club Los Angeles event in the official Rockstar Social Club Multiplayer Events Series.  Altogether, we raced with hundreds of players around pretty much every square inch of the city for more than three hours on Xbox LIVE.  Winners were crowned.  Losers were jeered.  And lots of nitrous was in the air...

Read on for a recap (along with screens) of some of the most heated moments...

Entering into Cruise mode a bit before 4:00 Eastern were our own GwRockstar3, GwRockstar4, GwRockstar5 and GwRockstar6.  With the gauntlet thrown down, we lined up in the Landmark Race at Watts Face Off.  Redeye00785 fired off the starting line with xXBROTHERHOODXx following right behind.  ThirteenAG and Xxb0nebrakerxX were breathing down their necks in 3rd and 4th places respectively, looking for the slightest mistake by the race leaders that would allow them to gain ground.  After a few turns and an unscheduled meeting or two with a concrete median, three of them fell behind, giving Xxb0nebrakerxX a come-from-behind 1st place victory.

With a new Around Hollywood race, came a new set of takers.  On 'GO', racers split up, splitting up to take different routes only five seconds in.  Redeye00785 took an alley to the right, quickly taking the lead.  The street racer never looked back - finishing in front of the second place ThirteenAG by a whopping 11 seconds... a virtual eternity in racing...

(Redeye00785 takes the alley to the right at the beginning, a wise decision that eventually helped earn a win...)

Moving on, a challenge was issued by Xxb0nebrakerxX to enter the Ordered Race known as River Valley.  It began with previous champ redeye00785 taking the lead once again in front of Gamerzworld, Mudbutt1583, GwRockstar3, ThirteenAG and MADDMATT1234567.  But another contender that started near dead last would be the victorious one in this race.  URCboom sped past everyone out of nowhere, taking 1st place and the win, leaving four seconds to spare...

GwRockstar3 then challenged everyone to an Ordered Race in the Laurel Canyon Run.  GwRockstar3 took a quick lead, but that blasted redeye00785 used a little NOS and boosted ahead.  It looked as if the lead might have lasted, cruising impeccably for more than a minute.  But SxeY x ShAdOwZz had plans of his own, zooming in and crossing the finish line ahead of URCboom by a narrow two seconds.

(Eventual champion SxeY x ShAdOwZz gains ground on MADDMATT1234567, narrowly missing the explosive gasoline pumps...)

Going into Full City Keep Away, Gamerzworld managed to pick up the flag for only two seconds before Stinkwiser stole it away, taking the lead. From there, the flag was constantly changing hands between those two and ThirteenAG, scooby66612 and G UNIT 091.  In the end, a dark horse, marty00 eventually claimed the top prize - holding the flag for a total of 112 seconds.

(Gamerzworld flees with the flag at the beginning of a match of Full City Keep Away.)

ThirteenAG next offered up a match of Keep Away in South Central.  Redeye00785 was the first to grab the flag, but was only able to hold it for four seconds before our GwRockstar3 snatched it away, evasively turning down another street.  48 seconds later, SxeY x ShAdOwZz snagged it, taking off up an alley way.  The flag then traded racers every few seconds until redeye00785 was able to maintain and accrue possession time long enough to win first place.

(SxeY x ShAdOwZz uses a 'Stop' power-up on GwRockstar3, before cruising up the alley with the flag...)

Next up was a meet on Fairfax and Sunset.  The Ordered Race began with Gamerzworld and dimitricoley fighting neck-and-neck for the lead.  Little did they know that the victor of this race would be the one following right in their rear-views: URCboom.  While Gamerzworld and URCboom did stay in contention, it soon became clear that this was URCboom's moment as he crossed the finish line ahead of Gamerzworld by eight full seconds.

For a grand finale – we got into an insane Basewar Capture The Flag session in Sepulveda Showdown.  On the blue team: URCboom, XX m crazy XX, Marnit, UNT SENTENCIA, STINKWISER, topham1, TheoNB and Markko2009.  On the red team (how LA!): G UNIT 091, Lolz w00t, WizenSage, GwRockstar3, CAR 3 KING, AHzacxemzy, and SxeY x ShAdOwZz.  During the ten minute round, AHzacxemzy and WizensAGE saved the red flag, allowing SxeY x ShAdOwZz to deliver it for two points.  This gave the red team a 6-0 lead.  The lead later increased to a 9-0 blowout with the blue team trailing far behind.  URCboom delivered the first two points for the blue team making it 9-2, but it wasn't enough as SxeY x ShAdOwZz delivered the final blow, giving the red team two more points for an easy 11-3 barn burner.

(Players in a complete frenzy to deliver the flag for points in Basewar Capture The Flag...)

Here's a list of most of the 1st place winners from the event.  Give it up for the champs...
