Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2012

[Taiga]

Hopefully they release good DLC, because this is a game good enough to get DLC for. The replay value is just off the top!
Anyway, gonna try gunning for the rest of the MWs today, after taking my pursuit record back from Gtuned.

We should see DLC. HP3 got 4 DLC packs & BP got 5 DLC packs so MW2 so at least get as much.

 

[Avetorian]

I played BP using front cam but I do get what you are saying, even so I do wish they would give us a hood cam.

As for DLC I would like to see the map expanded and some more alpine roads etc, give me a lamborghini Diablo SV, and give us back the Zonda Cinque, the Murcielago, the Mclaren F1 GTR, etc. Maybe include an LMP kinda like what they had in BP and the previous burnout games.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Honestly I'll likely buy all the DLC released for this game. More cars and an expansion of the map would be nice.

 

[Chiochan]

I will probable get DLC for this if its good, aka, cars I'm interested in (maybe presented as a new 10 most wanted) and map expansion, if supported with multiplayer events/races, jackspots, billboards.

 

[Spoil-t]

I want more SUV/Trucks & more REAL muscle cars. The only real ones in the game are the Cobra, Mustang, Camaro, Challenger & Charger. The M3 & SL65 aren't muscle cars. 👎

who said those were muscle cars? I would like to see more cars period SVT cobra,370/350 z,gt500rx-7, GTO, cars from past NFS titles

Damn. Multiplayer is slowly driving me crazy. Instant takedowns and elimination during challenges. Geniuses.

It's not too bad if you keep your eye on the map for those coming after you.

M3? SL65? "Not real"? What a goofball. They bunched those cars in there only because they're above the Sports tier and aren't Grand Tourers. They're not going to make another tier for just those 2 cars.

 

[Avetorian]

The game puts the M3 and the SL65 in the muscle car category. I agree though, muscle cars and the SUVs gets poor treatment. They should also improve on the off road feature of the game. Sure there is little sections here and there, but nothing to give me a reason to even bother with off road tires.

Like imagine a section that separates certain areas of the map where you gotta navigate through a forest, find your route, there could be plenty, and get back on the tarmac. I understand we are not in the country, but even a city can have a forest near it or whatever. Heck even open up some roads that go on top of those mountains, all snow and stuff.

Muscle cars, SUV's rally cars, and trucks could dominate those areas. I say if they are gonna add those vehicles in, give us gameplay other than smash up derby and drift modes to accommodate a reason to use those types of vehicles more often.

 

[AOS-]

They're not going to bring up an entire off-road section. This is street racing, not rally racing. Plus, a good number of cars in the game can't off-road for beans.

As for the muscle cars, I feel there's enough muscles for the time being. Sports could use a little more "JDM", if you know what I mean..

 

[Avetorian]

I guess that's what you get for a small car list in general. Either way, most of the cars that can't off-road destroy the cars that can, which gives people very little reason to use them.

Speaking from a multiplayer perspective, you see the races with no restrictions, or the events in general, I rarely ever see anyone in a suv, or an "everyday" car either.

Most people tend to use exotics, sports, muscle, or Lamborghini Aventador/Bugatti Veyron Lol. that's been my experience so far.

So what I'm saying is those classes Everyday/SUV feel like an incomplete feature.

 

[Spoil-t]

If the Speedlist has a restriction it's 8 times out of 10 Everyday or SUV from my experience. That's for the CG made ones.

M3? SL65? "Not real"? What a goofball. They bunched those cars in there only because they're above the Sports tier and aren't Grand Tourers. They're not going to make another tier for just those 2 cars.

Then they should of made a better choice of a name because muscle cars only include crappy handling American cars. Calling any German cars Muscle Cars makes me shudder.

 

[AOS-]

The Skyline is Nissan's take on muscle cars. Go figure.

I rarely ever see anyone in a suv, or an "everyday" car either.

I rock the Audi A1...kill random player in races, and almost fully pro modded too. I really shouldn't even be winning freeway-dominant races with the A1 but I do...it's nimble steering is amazing in high speed drifts with track tires. Going to be working on the Impreza and Focus later on, but I ned to pro mod at least one car of each class for those tier-restricted events.

 

[Spoil-t]

Powershot Pro is by far the hardest Pro mod to unlock online. The other ones are easily & just take time.

The Skyline is Nissan's take on muscle cars. Go figure.

But it's still a Tuner so your point?

 

[AOS-]

You can interpret the BMW and SL as a Muscle for the sake of this game. That's my point. It's not even that big of an issue anyway.

 

[Spoil-t]

It is to some people. When I want Muscles only I expect to not see a M3.

They could of made a Luxury Class & lump the Grand whatevers with the M3 & SL65.

 

[AOS-]

Just don't drive the M3 then... It's just your own problem you're taking personally.

 

[Spoil-t]

Yet again you fail to see the point in my argument.

 

[AOS-]

I see the point, but you're just not accepting the fact it was a compromised move by Criterion.

One can argue that the M3 isn't in the same class as the other Grand Tourers. They are out of the SL's league, yet the SL isn't flashy enough to be considered an Exotic to CG. For the sake of balancing the tier, the M3 and SL are better suited to compete with the American cars.

 

[Aftrbrnr]

PS. The game's major selling point is the online competitiveness not the cops.

I beg to differ, notice all the promotional material (including the now famous live-action commercial), loading screens, and even the game's name "Most Wanted" all feature the police, I think I am going to stand by that EA very well intended to sell this game on the basis of police chases. The online competitiveness IMO is a secondary reason which only came up when people found out this game was going to be like BP.

I've seen others criticizing the lack of online police on other message boards, too. I can understand not having police during multiplayer free roam as I can see it eating up a lot of hardware resources and inducing a lot of lag, but to have some number of cops chase the players on pre-set routes when events occur I think is feasible (And then to dissapear when everyone returns to free roam). Some people on Gamefaqs are hoping are hoping multiplayer police will be DLC, but I am not getting my hopes up.

 

[AOS-]

This game sells off Autolog and social competition. You've got the wrong idea.


Anyway, here's a neat glitch I just learned of right now. It's new too!



Found it here: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=398176

What happens is that you transfer a current setup to another car in offline. This means you can give a car mods that aren't unlocked for it. This is however temporary, and restricted to what events 2 cars share. If you have any questions about taking this online, it won't work as the car you ride in offline is completely different from the one you use online. I imagine that you can put these settings on yet another car given that you can find a link between 2 cars. In the video, the player has a fully modded Ariel, and he selects and event that the LFA shares with it. If you can then link an even the LFA shares with another car that the Ariel wasn't linked to, if you work out the pattern, you could theoretically use this on any car.

 

[Spoil-t]

If you hit the PS button while changing cars online it won't change cars. Simple pointless stupid glitch online.

You can also jump thru many structures if you jump high enough.

Also if you jump off a cliff & go into a menu that takes you off screen your car stays at the bottom of the cliff. Good way to keep punks from smacking you around while you d around.

You can also glitch thru some water & fall into static until you get reset.

 

[MXH]

It's not too bad if you keep your eye on the map for those coming after you.

Well, I reached speedlevel 30 yesterday. I'll be most definitely giving some people a taste of their own medicine.

 

[AOS-]

I'm not one to being a jerk online, but I've stopped caring as much now, especially with the need to do takedowns.

Also, I'm going to need to find someone who'll be my sandbag. I need Slam takedowns to pro mod Impact Protection Body, but Slam takedowns if I'm not mistaken are performed by side checking another either through a sheer difference in speed or sending them into a wall or traffic... or directly rear-ending them while they're driving. Will help grind for your mods in return. Anyone? anyone?

 

[Spoil-t]

Ramming someone up the pipe is a Shunt takedown. Hitting someone into traffic is a regular takedown. Head on is a Head On Takedown. Hitting square on the side is a T-bone Takedown. Sideswiping someone into a wall is the Slam Takedown.

Why don't you just play a public game & beat on people? You progress the pro mods & get closer to your Cobra. That's how I got my 7 pro mods so far. 2 more & I'm done.

 

[AOS-]

I am playing public games; how'd you think I got to level 41 so quickly? You have to be a jerk in this game to get more points.

About rear-ending, I think I've rear-ended AI in a race, and it counted it as a slam. *shrugs*

 

[Avetorian]

I leveled quickly by playing some MP then completing all the challenges for every car in the game in SP that put me right to 63, got the rest of my exp to 71 via MP matches. Has anyone else figured out what the concourse is? There's apparently a plate for reaching speed level concourse 1 or something, and then another for speed level concourse 71. I am at 71 and I don't get any levels higher than that. I am confused on that part.

 

[NLxAROSA]

Screw events. Online has twice as many races than offline & they are A LOT more fun. Race "Stock Market Crash" for a really fun race. plus if they add more cars in they will most likely add more events in....

And I have yet to try online properly, so far just exclusively single player and Autolog.

They wanted this to be a Multiplayer competitive game, you need a community to go with that, getting rid of your discussion forum and relying on facebook + twitter doesn't really help that.

To be honest, most game (support) forums are not much of a community anyway. Mostly filled with people that basically complain about everything and want the next patch to completely change the game into something else (in case of Most Wanted most likely the first installment).

This game sells off Autolog and social competition.

It's what keeps me coming back, again, and again (even if I have a hard time getting you off the top of my speedwalls ).

 

[AOS-]

Concourse is literally an option to reset your progress and start again. That's their uncreative answer to replayability. You may think it's dumb because you'd be undoing all the time spent on it, but they remedy this by giving you an additional badge or something of recognition to brag about; to prove you finished it all once before.



NLxRosa, you're going to have to do better than silver if you want to stand a chance at coming anywhere near my records. It's gold or nothing.

 

[Avetorian]

That's true, however I believe they said that they wanted their game to an e-sport and have major tournaments and stuff. That being the case, having a dedicated forum is a must. Many other e-sport games live by this. Pretty much all ladder/tournament/e-sport games have a forum for people to discuss things in detail.

I could be wrong so don't take my word literally, I could have sworn I saw an interview of them saying something along those lines. That's why I stated that.

Anyway... Has anyone else hit level 71 yet? anyone? =x

edit:: Thank you AOS, hell no I'm not doing that, I worked hard to drive that Countach online =x
