Not to get on you but it all comes from experience. Age has somewhat of a diff because when you start driving you know more.

BTW, Im only 13

Yeah maybe he has a pushbike with a Ford badge on it. Did the chain fall off it or something?

nah pushmower
BACK ON TOPIC i havent heard anything about engine upgrades or anything like that at all has anybody else

SomeKindOfMonster · Post by **SomeKindOfMonster** » 22 Oct 2006, 06:48

Not really, I think it will still be packages, but you can buy say, and engine combo for acceleration, or one for top speed. Think I read that way back in this thread somewhere, not 100% sure. Havent heard much at all about performance upgrades

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 22 Oct 2006, 06:57

engine packages for speed, acceleration, etc. ? that sounds like the dumbest idea i've ever heard. i sure hope it downt turn out that way

SomeKindOfMonster · Post by **SomeKindOfMonster** » 22 Oct 2006, 07:01

Yeah I am most likely wrong, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that some packages provided a better increase in acceleration (certain cam/CAI/exhaust combo) etc. But yeah, I don't know if that is correct information or not

1.His cpu is slower than the required 1.7Ghz
2.His ram is...WAAY...lesser than required
3.The gpx....i dont need to say anything here

Anyways i doubt if the game will even start on ur Pc dude..
and if it does...that even on the lowest settings u might only get 5-10 fps max

Better play it on aps2 or xbox or something
wanna bet it will work on his PC?

I played MW on a 700mhz, 256ram and a 128mb video memory
I'll update you guys with the result when I got the demo. Let's see who wins..

WELL?? I already said it would work...

I'm affraid you are right. I read that too and saw it on some video. The guy was choosing from 3 packages of gearbox, AFAIR, and one of them was more towards accleration, the secon was more top speed orientaded and the third was something in the middle. This sounds like a really stupid idea but I'll wait with my opinion till i see it in action.[/b]

RVD · Post by **RVD** » 22 Oct 2006, 09:52

dont you guys know jet?? i thought you can choose from like 3 different parts, each has another effect ( faster acceleration, but lower top speed / more BHP but less torque)

i thought i read this somewhere

Im sure there will be a slight catch in the performance tuning..

Like in most wanted..some cars performed better if we had stock/lvl 2 or 2
parts..and some other maxxed out..

Thats what EA said, there would be a slight performance difference with the different brand name parts

yup,F.O.R.D.= Fix Or Repair Daily

I would of like Carbon, to have had more lower class cars, seriously what street racing cars we see usual? always tuners, streets, movies. It would be nice that there were only 2 car classes Muscle and Tuners, from what I've seen there's the "battle" taken, between these cars( 2F2F and FnF:TD)... i always believed that lambos and all other speedie cars are too much for street racing, but well, that's my opinion.

SomeKindOfMonster · Post by **SomeKindOfMonster** » 22 Oct 2006, 12:31

I think its just to keep the fans of the older games happy. I loved the first NFS games with the lambo's etc. Miss the old tracks but!! But yeah, some more lower end cars would be nice. I would like to do up a car that I could actually piece together to put on the road, instead of building a 500k european supercar that I will never own.

HIACE · Post by **HIACE** » 22 Oct 2006, 21:44

xturbo · Post by **xturbo** » 22 Oct 2006, 21:50

They say that jus to calm us down.....it's going to be the same like last year: 3 or 4 days before release
