Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2012

[Spoil-t]

I hate idiots that don't let people do the challenge. If you have enough time racked up for the challenge NICK OFF so the n00b can get time to. Lately I've been smacking the living **** out of the a-holes who are takedowning the players that aren't finish yet. So if you're in my online session & you're being a prick then you can be sure I'm T-Boning you into next week!

At the end of the day, they won't get the message. Message them first, and then proceed with your unruly actions.

 

[Spoil-t]

In BP we spoke with our cars so I'll do the same in Most Wanted.

You're dead next time we met in Fairhaven!

Where is the Focus ST?

Where is the Focus ST?

Multi player only.

The Focus ST is extremely unsatisfying to drive.

It's terribly weak in many aspects.

 

[Spoil-t]

It's only in the game because Ford sponsored the game to hell. Why there's a billion Fords in the game.

What surprises me more is how there are people who do drive the Ford GT. Of all exotic models to choose from, they'd pick that one. *shrugs*

They all use the NFS GT which has improved Toughness so they can take people down easier, even though it has crap handling and speed.

 

[Swara]

I personally use the Ford GT for taking down rivals, but for cop chases, the V12 Vantage such a good sound, and it makes me think that I'm James bond

It's because that's the default Exotic car. If people don't switch car classes when it's Exotic only the game forces them into the GT. Believe it's the first one unlocked to so most probably have it fully modded.

 

[AOS-]

Oh is that why? I forget some people jump straight online. That would make sense as they're usually never winning at anything.

 

[Spoil-t]

I hate the idiots that ignore the BIG WALL OF TEXT SAYING TO CHANGE THEIR CAR. Idiots were doing that in the morning when it was Race cars only. I tookdown a guy in the Venom while doing like 20MPH in the Superlight when he hit me at like over 200MPH. Serves the idiots right. Take them down until they change their car.

 

[AOS-]

Again, that doesn't tell them they should be changing cars.

If you want someone to learn, message them.

 

[Spoil-t]

The XMB is ass & freezes too much. I like to beat the message into people. Stupidity should be awarded with pain.

Too true. Near impossible to even keep up with A1s if the others are competitive enough.

Hey, the GT isn't so bad. I've come to appreciate it when I was going for its Motorhead plate, which annoyingly didn't pop because it's glitched. It's a fast tank, and that's okay in my book. But yeah, I see the ire of seeing too many red GTs. It's pretty much a label for newb drivers and you expect the worse from them.

 

[KiroKai]

What rather makes me annoyed about the Focus ST is that you need to drive 200 miles to unlock... short gears. Which is probably the only mod making it remotely competitive with the cars of its class.

It's good for cruising though. It's a bit like the Lancia, it doesn't matter if you cruise or go flat out, the acceleration is almost the same.

Regarding online saving, this maybe for SP, but not mod progress... probably not anyway. I normally just quit game after an event whenever I stop playing and no progress is lost.

I didn't play events with my friends, we were in free drive almost all the time, or had a speedlist but didn't go to meet up so we could boost for the pro upgrades. So we never started or completed a challenge, when we were done I just selected cancel speedlist.

 

[KiroKai]

whoops

 

[Kitten]

You can somehow do Italian Job with the Focus ST . Badass much xD

 

[LeGeNd-1]

Anybody know how to get into-traffic takedowns consistently? I've been trying to boost the milestones with TilDawn yesterday but couldn't quite get it to work reliably. Hitting parked cars don't count. Taking down a car in front of traffic don't count. What did count was hitting an opponent with impact pro and powershot so they lost control and hit traffic. But it requires precision, luck and high speeds (mutually exclusive things). Trying to get it naturally online is a problem because I'm always too far ahead of anyone

 

[Spoil-t]

It also counts if you hit traffic into the path of others. I got many that way offline with the SUV class. Also stop boosting & do it online with randoms. It's more fun that way & how I quickly got half of my challenges done. Just need to get one Splashdown online & I'll be happy. A Splashdown is a takedown into water.

 

[LeGeNd-1]

Thanks Spoil-t, I'll try that method next time 👍

Yeah I've been trying to do it online properly, but the thing is autolog and EA servers refuses to cooperate and keeps disconnecting, causing me to lose all my progress I had enough of this crap and I just want to get these milestones done and over with. Until they properly fix all the glitches (which I doubt they ever will) I'll be taking a break from MW online.

 

[Spoil-t]

I'm disconnect from Autolog half the time & all my progress tracks fine for me. I never never never ever get kicked from online games in this game which is the best thing about this game since every other game I play now I get dropped at least once a sit down.

 

[LeGeNd-1]

At its worst I get disconnected every half an hour. No warnings, no nothing. It just kicks me from the room instantly. The next time I reconnect all of my takedowns and mileage during the session is reset. So now I always quit after every speedlist to let the game update autolog and save my progress. Since I'm concours, I need to find a room that must be in intermission as well. As a whole the process of playing in public rooms is a real chore in the behind.

 

[Spoil-t]

I never had my stats reset. Even when my game freezes at the end of a Speedlist. You must have a very bad connection if you keep getting dropped.

 

[LeGeNd-1]

Freezing at the end of speedlist doesn't reset my stats. It's just annoying (and damaging to my console because I need to hard reset). It's when autolog suddenly loses connection and I get booted from the room without a chance to save that everything resets.

And yes connection might have a part. But none of my other games have a problem as bad as this. Even Paradise back in the day was working very smoothly. Maybe it's server load, because the disconnects happen more frequently at certain times of the day. But as it is, online is very frustrating and there aren't any word from the devs of any attempt to fix it 👎

 

[Spoil-t]

Autolog is unneeded to play this game online. If you keep getting stat loses just disconnect from Autolog before you head online. Problem solved. Also the hard resets really don't damage the console. It happens for the same reason every time so I just skip the stupid System Check after I reboot. If it froze randomly on a game that rarely freezes or if I needed to unplug the console then I'll do the System Check. Other then that I skip that waste of time crap.

Also, I believe we all should just spam EA & CG's email box until we get a fix.
