Stupid details

Or how when someone calls you you never answer and just let them talk, till in the end they close without you saying one word.... I think the main character is mute....

they dont need hydraulics...they shake a lot at the start...and you cant get the car on roof...and it goes on the side when you drive on a sidewalk

this is useful but funny - you can "jump" to safe house, or "jump" to the performance shops...

I only have the demo right now, but I noticed that the burnout is very annoying. You are nearly stopped and are trying to get away from a group of cops it's almost impossible to get going because you're sliding around all over the place. I don;t know if this is realistsic or not, but it's still annoying as crap. >_<

Well, since I don't have pedals don't know for sure, but using my trusty keyboard, I don't wonder one bit that the cars burnout like crazy when I hit the gas pedal (either from a stand still or a low speed).

Any car with let say 150 bhp+ will burnout for sure if you give it full gas on a low gear... And that's what you're doing with an "on-off" type control from a keyboard. Could be different with pedals where you can choose not to "floor it". Anyone with pedals verify?

Yeah it doesn't burnout if you don't floor it. (I've got pedals)

I have pedals, but they don't seem to be working with MW...

I already flipped my car multiple times on its back.

Same here and it (Unintentionly) pissed me off, making me slam the controller back and forth and cussing at the monitor as I watch 9 cop cars surround me.

ok i notice annoying things

the game progams ur car that it:

crashes at least ONCE when you are driving a perfect lap...like it misteriously crash into a wall or ur steering is disabled...(reminds me very much of U1)

AI cars love to bully u, their movements are very much like the cops also(undercover copsperhaps?)

I MISS the invisible wall..damm i lvoe them!! I was 1st, 20 meters rom finish, AI next to me, i jst drove over the curb and then i did a samusault (then i lost, having to resart!)

i hate how cops can arrest you when u are driving at 40mph...trust me..it happend plenty...

cops pop from nowhere, and spawn itself as close to u as possible.

every possible thing in the world cheats so u loose your race at harder races, they are not made harder, they are made to cheat....

duno...what else...im just getin frustrated at SUVs and stupid spikes....

and ocne i was driving with 3 wheels cuz 1 got popped and i manged tog et away, then SUVs, chopper, cars ...10 around me chasing me for few mins...b4 i got busted....(quite a memorbale one)

@Korge & PZSeTa: What car were you guys driving?

since this game runs using a physics type engine, weight determines the factor of "flippage." (new word

) Anyways, I was driving the heavy, Audi (cant remember the name, the sedan one) This car is preferably heavy. Makes for perfect Tboning cops into walls.

EVO VIII.

Rammed a roadblock, was sent flying, landed on the roof.

Did it with my Gallardo too.

PS2's pressure sensitivity controls don't quite work on MW when you don't want to do a burnout... Ah well

Oh and i was doing one of the challenge series the other day driving the RX-7, i remember 2 rhinos coming up to ram me, what was funny to me, one of them didn't actually hit me, but over and off my car as if it was a ramp... i and i kept evading the police happily...

idk if any of u guys have ever done this but when u r in the middle of a pursuit go to the bus garage and drive up so u are on top of the buses. i once sat there for 30 minutes racking up bounty, while the cop cars just went crazy on the ground below u. only once has a cop been smart enought to drive up onto the buses and i pushed himoff

Racin_Penguin · Post by **Racin_Penguin** » 05 Dec 2005, 23:15

Yeah, thats a useful technique but I find it more entertaining to run from the cops and blast through roadblocks to earn my bounty instead of cheating.
I had plenty of stupid details to mention about Most Wanted but you guys nailed just about all of em'. But there are a few others I still have to mention:
-The traffic cars can only get smashed windows, its not like theyâ€™re licensed.
-When you get busted on a X2-X6 heat pursuit, it goes to the little cutscene of you trying a crappy little escape and in the background you see the regular Crown Vic that only chases you in X1 heat.
-Police only come after you.
-And police cars are immune to spike strips.

Man there are so many more things but I just can't think of them at the moment...

NFS isnt set in a real world. Set in a magical Action Movie world; where every characther is played by (ex?) porn stars.

Havent really checked the thread till now. I expected to get some flaming / I-wanna-own-you posts and I haven't failed

The point of this thread is just to have some fun by commenting some funny aspects of the game. Stop rolling your eyes kthx?

And what porn stars are you talking about? Im definitely lost.

His acting is bad enough for him to be a Porn star.

(especially when he curls his upper lip Billy Idol-like: "I'm one ba-a-ad dude, grr, grr.")

Racin_Penguin · Post by **Racin_Penguin** » 07 Dec 2005, 02:06

OH man, the acting in MW is so terrible...I think the cheeziest it gets is in one of the first cutscenes when Mia's like "sumthin' or not, that ride is HAWT" and she's leanin' on her RX-8 tryin' to look sexy. Then she does that skanky walk of hers. Ugh, I hate it when EA tries to put sexuality in the NFS series...
But they did do a good job with Def Jam: FFNY, I'll give em' that.
Oh, and another thing, who the hell decided for the triangle button to be look back? I don't know what the controls are for Xbox/360 or gamecube, but triangle is just about the worst button for looking back. You either have to take your thumb off the gas, lowering your speed, and push it to look back. Or you have to use the side of your index finger. And to make it even worse, you can't customize the controls...
I don't know about you guys, but that is the thing that irritates me the most.

Another stupid detail: The traffic AI doesn't yeild(pull over)to any police vehicles.
