Yup, it would have been cool if they had recorded the engine sounds from a 1970's Diesel Ford Transit van for the vans in the game...

Or from a Tractor - the way the vans dawdle out from side roads in drag races, their performance is about the same!

Well, not really record sounds from actual minivans n' such, but don't just re-use the sound of an already existing car in the game. Especially a car that sounds nothing like a minivan in real life.

Yes, and we like to talk about the aspects that make it "screwd".

Let's face it - if any game was perfect, there wouldn't be much to talk about. At least as there are so many faults with the game, it gives us lots of discussion points!

The framerate also shutters just about every time you hit a roadblock(at least it does on the ps2), especially if you're at a high heat level of pursuit. Only way you can keep it steady is by having the speedbreaker on all through the crash.

And another episode of Saeidi's Visual Observations of EA's "Amazing" Detail!

1. Ever heard of the invisi-spike strip? Well, it's going to get you soon! :lol: This is what to look for to not hit an invisi-spike strip. Hit mostly the cop cars in the roadblock, not places where you see nothing but the road (that's where the invisible spike strip is!) and always use speedbreaker. It's a glitch, okay?:P

2. If you install Patch 1.3 while you are doing career mode, the blacklist opponent that you are on will appear as "defeated" when you haven't even raced him!

3. I was wrong about the Gallardo and the Murcielago sounding the same ingame. They sound slightly different ingame.

4. One time, I was cruising in career mode. Whenever I Cruise, I look for cops to get me. I was heat level 1 and a half. When I got caught by the cops, it was strange because the Civic Cruiser ordered a roadblock and it APPEARED on the Mini-map. You can't have Roadblocks in heat level 1?!?! I also saw a spike strip (I know it seems stupid, but I saw it) which is strange. First a roadblock, then a spike strip? WHOA!!! :twisted:

And yet another episode of Saeidi's Visual Observations of EA's "Amazing" Detail!

1. When you use pursuit breaker, the little video comes on, activating the pursuit breaker on the cops and the first few seconds that you run into objects (like benches, lights, boxes) you go right through them (including cops and trafiic cars).

Yeah I noticed that too right after you take off the speedbreaker or after you crash though a roadblock with the cinematic cams on you can go right through the police cars n' shiznit. Which isn't necessarily always a bad thing, but still a glitch.

yeah....I am not sure if in the roadblock, it actually counts the "ghost cars" you crashed into as immobilized or damaged in your rap sheet. But its not THAT much of a matter...just 1 - 4 cop cars.

@TheStig: Thanks for the point. I will do that. :)

There are lots of bridges, but you can't get to like 3/4 of them.

I noticed about the bridged also, In camden there are a few and and in the winded sections in the harbour parts there are a few... some of them are railroad bridges. I wonder if the stuff is really connected or if it simply ends behind the hills where you can't see it

the world of U2 was fully detailed you could see it cause you where flying over it all when you unlocked a area... but got the feeling the MW world got alot of placed that are simply not build...

this also belongs to the catagory weird stuff in MW... cause some bridges are simply on weird places.. ( on the other side of the hill in some cases there is nothing that leads to the bridge :? weird weird weird)

And the game was made by EA Canada hence why the headlights are always on

But why? I mean, isn't the sunlight bright enough that you need the car's light to see more? :?
