HIACE · Post by **HIACE** » 28 Oct 2006, 23:16

You can buy the guide book which you usually get with the game from EBAY

HIACE · Post by **HIACE** » 28 Oct 2006, 23:19

I think for about $10-20

BrontoX · Post by **BrontoX** » 28 Oct 2006, 23:19

Like the manual right and who the hell is that stupid to buy something that is free

HIACE · Post by **HIACE** » 28 Oct 2006, 23:21

Is it true EA is charging for online content

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 29 Oct 2006, 01:22

@ rygybortoe; how do you know about the class "teirs"?

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 29 Oct 2006, 01:25

Written in the IGN review.

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 29 Oct 2006, 01:28

ill have to read it over, i did not remember seeing all of those cars, only a few being mentioned.

'93 Cobra · Post by **'93 Cobra** » 29 Oct 2006, 01:38

so the tiers are like stages throughout the game?

I believe so. If you "pre-load" it off the EA site, you get the Zonda Z and 71 Challenger for free!!!

For Germany, its a 100% true, for Europe, its not approved by EA, and also EA UK still has the release date written as 2/11, so hopefully it wont be delayed in whole Europe.

*sigh* Nobody reads the front page?

Overall, I think that players will notice a much more realistic experience based on the different performance levels of the cars. For instance, it makes sense that a car such as the Mazda RX8 can't keep up with a car like a Lamborghini MurciÃ©lago and vice versa. As players progress through the game, they'll reach certain points where the car they're driving just can't quite compete with the competition and they'll have to head to the car lot to make a step up in performance. I think this is a key difference from Most Wanted where you could, through the use of upgrades, make a low end car that could compete with some of the fastest cars in the game.

By reading this, you can already ASSUME that we also have seperate classes for car performance.

I've seen the Dutch Carbon commercial.. Also 2/11.

well, this "system" it's kinda ok, and not, I mean, from a point of view, it's ok, because they get rid of the thing with low end cars beating high class exotics ... but from another point of view, preety much sucks..for an instance, if I like a low end class car, I'll race it until a point, and after that I can't complete one race, because my car isn't tough enough, to stand up .. not good.

i read that, but i was talking about the cars.... who told him which cars were in the same tiers?

BrontoX · Post by **BrontoX** » 29 Oct 2006, 14:22

I hope so, because IÂ´ve heard rumors that it has been delayed by a week...

Leftos · Post by **Leftos** » 29 Oct 2006, 14:49

Be sensible. Release delays are announced at least a week before official release, and we're 3 days before November 1st that is still the reported RD in all EA's videos and the official NFS website, while EA UK has November 3rd for most consoles and the PC. It's all until Wednesday and Friday. For pretty much everyone except German and Dutch, really, who will be getting the game on the 9th.
