Just make sure LaPierre doesn't get word of your idea and makes sure it's not in the game.

Sounds lovely. Really.

Ummm...could you get any more vague? You're saying that co-op is a cool idea and yet you don't want the higher ups to know about their opinions

Or are you saying that if LaPierre (did I even spell that right?) hears about this that he is going to just dismiss the idea?

More info on the online aspects of Carbon:

According to the German onlinemagazine videospiele.com the upcoming Need for Speed Carbon will have an onlinemode, but only for PS2, Xbox, PS3 and Xbox 360. Nintendo's Wii will not use it's Wi-Fi function.

Additionally the game will not support the new functions of the Wii and PS3 Joypad
-------------------------
Sites always put down the PC platform and they don't realize the PC is the heart of the NFS franchise...damn noobs...

I'm pretty sure PC WILL have online capabilities but I am skeptical about PS2 having it, since MW didn't have it.

The ugly green car looks like a Mazda RX-7...damn EA with their messed up bodykits. They should have the Veilside RX-7 Bodykit

Does the Skyline have flip-up lights?

At least your guesses weren't as far off the scale as mine was when I saw the little picture!

they need to bring back 2 player stuff like in hp2, where you can have one person be cops and chase someone else, or both run from cops n help each other out, and what would be realy cool is to both be cops and just call in tons of rhinos and crap to waste the suckas!

You know what I miss, split-screen...I'm amazed nobody has mentioned it, no wonder EA is not putting in the essential features...

I think the green car could either be an NSX or a 3000GT.

Not sure if it's the body kit but the front looks to square to be an RX-7

.

I'm Hoping it's a 3000GT.

Post by **TheStig** » 03 Jul 2006, 03:54

could very well be a 3000GT again, although the one in U2 had the later facelift with normal headlights.
Could also just be a RX7 with a super ugly kit... as expected..

What suprises me is that EA manages to make some serious mistake and glitches again.
- Intercooler in the front for a Mid engine car

- half done mesh in the grill of the Gallardo (seen from the side vent (inside of front is not exactly the same

)

What I really don't understand is why EA did not make a open rear side of the wheels (inside of the wheels.) If you look under the cars in U1/ U2 and MW the wheels where solid and not open like they should.. the funny thing is that the PS2 demo for MW did have that and I was happy cause they finally corrected that, but I was instantly sad when I noticed it was not so in the full version... but why???

Same goes for rotating discs?? what is so hard about it.. and glowing discs under hard braking (Carbon ceramic brakes) is also a nice feature wich alot of other games have, and it looks really cool at night.

I can't see why EA can't just put real body kits in the game instead of just putting a couple of new ones and then the same old ugly ones.

You would think that with the amount of NFS games That EA have made they should be able to get things right.

I know it's only a game but it's little touches like the ones you mention that would make the game much more enjoyable

that green car is a RX-7...thats the same bodykit that was in NFS MW for the RX-7 and the flip-up lights is RX-7...its very abvious

Skyline-GTaRt · Post by **Skyline-GTaRt** » 03 Jul 2006, 04:35

Which body kit is it, it looks slightly different at the front than the ones in MW.

You could be right but the more I look at that picture the more it looks like an NSX.

yeah, it's the same wbk from MW. just from a straight on veiw. it's a VERY ugly wbk too.

Co-op Be the Cop would kick butt. But EA never makes the Cop cars worth anything. Take MW's pursuit cars in Be the Cop, and you have something.

Probably coz they need licence and licence cost!
