NFS: Underground and cheating?
Posted: 08 Jan 2004, 14:08
Ok, I'm a newbie to this forum and as of last night the game.
I'm running the game on a high-spec PC and the game is v.1.3, I have a mildly modified Mazda MX-5 with all the level 1 mechanical upgrades and visual add-ons. I was playing some guy with NOS, but he was lame and kept on crashing. I was getting so far ahead of him - as in most of a lap - that I was confident that the result was in the bag
But in a 3 lap race he then appeared from nowhere just before the final finish line
He might have had NOS, and NOS is fast, but not THAT fast! There was no lag as we were both on good (512k+) connections. Was this guy cheating? I read somewhere that EA had to reset all the rankings due to some 'gamers' cheating.
Sorry if this is a topic which is getting old to some of the peeps here...
