Shotgun unbalances the game greatly... You can't use any other weapon on the field effectively... Shotgun users are like dogs chasing squirrels with nearly auto-fire weapons, It looks so stupid and gives the game 0 variety... I miss the old fighting where u had to dodge a rail/over-shield fit, get under him, and blast his underside... that was skill... And its not that shotgun users cant be killed, rather its pretty easy but u gotta use a rail-gun - kite them - and snipe them while moving...

so its not snipers with shields now, which were engage-able.... no we have to add blind shooting shotguns to the game... FYI, get a shot gun or run away!!

Kobiman, did you try using different browsers? The tips on the loading screen says that Firefox runs this game 20 to 30 percent faster than the other browsers.
And redfleet, there's an even easier way, just buy any weapon for one day and sell it for more than you actually paid for it. :)

Don't buy credits, look through the custom maps and ull probs find some where player bots spawn in an in-closed area. Add in a lvl 20 shotgun and you will be popping them every 5-10sec top if ur not a blind man that shoot perpendicular to his target.

To People:The game is based around being in your car, and leaving it is seen as a last resort. Like an eject button. Honestly making a feature to get back in your car is pointless as why would you get out if you want back in when your weapons in the car are more superior. And if you were out of your car people would just blow it up so you didn't have it and weren't a threat. I know I would. Getting out of car=Eject. Not first person shooter time.

what we need is more players weapons cars and the fly button should be a toggle and when you get out of your car you should have like a better wep

ve played it some more, and am getting the hang of the controls. I still dislike getting one-shot by level 12 shotguns. Also, if you are on foot and you walk into a car that is stationary it treats you as having been run over, because cars are made out of lava. I am still having trouble with the controls. I'll check the settings, but i would love to be able to adjust the steering tightness. I often find myself over-steering and missing the power-up I was aiming for and/or careening off a ledge. The camera pointing down at my car when I am on any sort of angled hill is a problem. I wouldn't mind if it treated the 3rd person view more like a FPS, fix my camera on the turret sights, and let me control my car independently. Like a tank of sorts, but sportier and with more flying. This game still tickles my carwars itch nicely. hey kain this are you copy?

Tap the controls for better steering. Instead of just holding them down. Hold the right mouse button and drag to move the camera. And hold shift to aim down your weapon. Hope it helps.

@Kainsaw Now that is an example of everyone should comment on things. With reason. And you're right, it is a big learning curve. I could barely fly let alone shoot the bots at the start. I'm now ranked #1 and got there fairly quickly. CarbonTech is still providing updates, so things are subject to change. I think it would be a good idea for and implement to be able to restrict players from joining by level. It would help a great deal.

I did not have fun playing this, despite being a big fan of carwars style games. The learning curve on the controls and the limitations on the turret axis, and the ease at which you end up on your back, or pancaked against a wall... nothing restricts a skilled player from joining a room full of new players. It looks nice, and I love the concept, but the gameplay is not tight enough for me to keep coming back.
