Just got crank it up - gives you 4 choices but I drained before I got far! So yes, to your question.

now we need some metallica pinball 1.5 footage!!

Lyman deserves an big F*K*NG JACK*LYMAN*POT

i didnt even played the game as of yet with the new code.. but the change list speaks for itself! and yes ACDC updates were kinda epic too.. but this game created the most buzz for the update.. hence the 3500+ posts MET thread!

if u sold ur MET game lately u have reason to cry

I can't remember if I bitched or not....
Have you been waiting ? I'm pretty sure I bought traded and sold 10 machines while waiting.
MET didn't go anywhere because I had faith

Mine is working better Nick and there is a setting in the code to allow locks during modes.

My locked played up a few weeks back and would hardly catch it. A quick reseating of the connectors on the new magnetic board sorted it. Worth a look?

Gratz everyone and Hitler!

Glad i waited and didnt bitch about one thing............ now extremely happy.

I'm with you! My nephew is coming over this weekend and we have a lot of rules to learn between OWZLE & METLE...

...oops... WOZLE

Next week has finally arrived! Congrats, everybody!

Added "Crank It Up" modes. These include:
- "Battery" - (beat up sparky)
- "Fade To Black" - (shots/switches advance through thresholds that turn
the playfield darker)
- "For Whom The Bell Tolls" - (progressive shots)
- "Enter Sandman" - (shots change/hide, nightmare)
(need more speech!)

This update is pretty incredible. The small touches are even cool.

I am definitely going to have to buy one now… Great looking update.

I have a sweet Pinball Refinery custom premium being put together for me this coming week and now this! Can't wait!

10k by christmas

OMG, how did I miss that video? That was hilarious!

Here is a LE at a great price.

No. I don't blindly buy NIB games I've never played, or games that aren't done. Every game in my collection I have because I played them a lot and really liked them as they were.

Hell, who am I fooling, I really don't buy games anymore at all! No money and no more space!

Sounds like one hell of an update though. I'll have to go play it again sometime and see how it is compared to the last time I played it.

Now all the pinwhiners can stfu.

Awesome it's a long weekend here in Australia so perfect time for the code to drop!

Aaaaaaaaand, my weekends gone.

And I stand by my guess that we are still getting a new song with the 2 winners......

Some of us DO have private conversations with Lyman
But quoting or publicly stating particular info will get you shut down quickly.

Did some pinwhiners actually believe that Met would be left unfinished ?
Lyman always finishes what he starts. It really is sad to see this group going the path of RGP.
I've really scaled back my posting because I'm tired of all the negativity and its just not worth my effort.
I commend Greg Rarehero for posting. He's got more time.

Some game play of the v1.5 update, my 8 year old kicking my ass. Sorry about poor footage but it gives you an idea of some of the new animations, lighting effects and sounds. However enter the sandman is still a bit too low and "thunder" from the grave targets, but the update is AWESOME!!

Your MOPLE is getting picked up from my house as we speak

Code has NOT been updated so update it when it arrives at your house first thing!

Well in all fairness this update did take a pretty long time to drop. It's not that people don't love Lyman it's that they want better code for the pins they pay a lot of money for. I being among those that have waited a long time to get an adequate update for a pin can definitely understand why some would get a bit frustrated about it.

That said, I'm glad to see Stern is starting to put more of an emphasis on making sure their games get adequate code support. This along with the XM update really helped ease my concerns on buying from Stern and made me a bigger fan of theirs. Keep up the good work Stern us pinball addicts love our updates!

Now we need a "Hitler wants to know who sold his Metallica the day before code dropped" video.

And by "his" I mean "Hitler's" Metallica machine.

Lyman does great work, but I doubt he was the only one working on this update. So, thanks to the ENTIRE TEAM that made this update happen. If it weren't for you guys, we would all be stuck playing pinball on an xbox.

No BS. Its a top 10 pin now. I should of kept my extra NIB LE.

So much deeper now! The Crank it Up Modes are challenging and add a whole new level to gameplay. Its like a pin inside a pin. Grave MB Superjackpot is sick.

All Magnets are stronger and better calibrated. Sparky really zings the ball now. (Consider mylar in that area.)

I really look forward to this a tournament.

This would be me...

Time for everyone to erase their high scores. Previous scores are no longer valid.

SPOILER ALERT- skip over this if you don't want to know about END OF THE LINE

The WIZARD MODE is now in, END OF THE LINE. It now has a bank of four songs collected at the scoop for ''crank it up'' which is much like Ac/Dc, in that you build your song jackpot by hitting certain flashing shots on the playfield. Each one is very different, with the objective the same. There are some nice animations and sounds during these modes. To cash it out, you will see flashing shots you have to hit behind each of the 4 multiball shots (cross, snake, coffin and sparky) to re-light the scoop to either cash out or continue the same song. You have to play the multiballs to light crank it up to begin with. To light it once, I believe it's two or three different multiballs? I'm not 100%sure, but I know it gets harder as you do it again and again.

You can not pick the same song twice, it takes it away on your next trip to scoop when crank it up is lit. You can not change songs. Like AC/DC you lose your jackpot progession when you lose your ball, should you fail to cash it out.

So to do all four songs in crank it up to get to end of the line, takes some work. The good thing is you just have to get to each song, and not complete them or anything for progression to EOTL. That scoop is a bitch to hit, i'll tell ya. I did cash out a 44 million jackpot during Sandman, it was awesome.

On your final trip to CRANK IT UP, End of the Line will be your only choice. From there, it is some crazy animations of a car driving out of control and over a cliff, multiball, and BIG points. There does not appear to be a completion to this final mode, but the progression in this mode pays points of up to 10 and 20 million per shot, and pretty much everything is lit. Obviously, it plays the song too.

well for all the people bitching it was no wonder. that update seems like more than some complete games! i hope its as good as every one expects! congrats guys.

Boy, I feel your pain.

First nib i wouLd like to spend 5k euro for the pro.

Awesome pin! But.... I am not yet there wallet wise. But this is a winner.

Thanks Bud, it's gonna be in good hands !

Cool to hear the MET is finally getting the lift it deserves. Sounds like it could be added to the wish list at some point after all, once they put out the hot chick version.

Damn, I bet it will be. Talk about perfect timing. Got any stock tips??

so you are whining about the whiners whining?

and yes i was a whiner but at least i'm not whining now.

Epic update! Game modes are incredible. Crank it up is killer. Lyman did a great job ! Well worth the wait.

XXII, Oncs, mcig, spihf. U can thank me in 2 years when your a millionaire !
Thanks again on my new mople Fattrain !

lollllll.

I knew a guy that went into a coma shortly after purchasing METLE. I got a call from his family that he just woke up.

Crank it up mode is amazing, each mode feels like a new pinball game.
I love how the cross rising syncs with the dots on DMD, the hammer crashing down is not quite a synced as the dots, but at least has a boom sound now.
Better use of the colour changing lights now.
Have still got quite a bit to learn, will keep me busy until the band modes are implemented.
The game is not that easy with crank it up modes, perfect for a home environment.
I don't think my machine will be leaving for a long time.
Thanks Lyman, awesome work, look forward to next update.

Thanks! I appreciate the video! The new added modes and how you can choose them is really cool. I have to update mine!

The only thing I would have done differently would have been to get a METLE instead.

Now that you whiney-butts got YOUR update, how 'bout round 3 for Star Trek? .........guessing 12 thumbs down............

Lemme help you with that... +1.

Just imagine if this code was there 9 months ago like it should have been. For the guys who hung in there... Enjoy the hell out of it!

Funny noone has mentioned the mystery. When Is the last time you saw that many things in the mystery. It's like Lyman said " I got you f@k$ ing mystery right here. End of story. That's was good for a laugh.

I was wondering about that lol....seriously, 4 levels of depth? Like here, let me shoot the orbits a few more times into those deadly pop bumpers to try and get more lanes for a better mystery reward LOL.
