    Meta: Introducing the Discord Arena, and re-introducing r/NFSRides

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 06:18 AM PST

    Hello everyone,

    As most people are basically done with the game and are in need of something new, and with the UTH (and subsequently the first major update) on the horizon, we would like to introduce you to the Arena, in our official Discord server.

    This project is still under development, but there, you can find some weekly challenges: one at day with restrctions, one more lax at night. Compete in and see what you've got against the rest of our community ! Glory awaits you... or at least we hope you get some fun from trying to beat the others. If the interest picks up, we may go to the further stages, and organize PVP events, or tournaments. This could be nice while we all wait for a Speedlists update, or anything similar.

    For the folks who aren't too much into time attack, we would like to remind you to check our sister sub dedicated to screenshots and liveries, r/NFSRides. You may have noticed that we may delete picture posts at our own discretion, this is to promote having more discussion-focused posts and being able to say more than "nice car dude". However, at r/NFSRides, you are free to post all the screenshots you want. This sub currently has 3,000+ members and is still growing !

    Thank you for your attention.

    I drew Ana Marte (Ana Rivera from Heat). Thought maybe I could post it here :)

    Random wrap in the spirit of the chinese new year. Wanted to be more creative but the wrap-limit said "No". Still, I like the clean look, and the NSX is an absolute beast.

    My Opinion About NFS Heat Police Pursuit..

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 07:15 PM PST

    I'm gonna' compare it a lot with Most Wanted 2005 and Hot Pursuit 2010 since they are also one hell of a great pursuit.

    So... I played Most Wanted 2005 and completed it... the only thing i could do in the end was getting into police chase for as long as possible on highway 99 and 201 (The highway that encircles Rosewood and Downtown Rockport Borough) using M3 GTR... It was fun slamming those 'vettes left and right, speedbreaking before roadblock.

    Hot Pursuit 2010... well... i have no reason to play it... since there are not free roam pursuits

    Now into the Heat, due to the car damage mechanic and 3 repair limit at night, and no highway that loops, the fun of the pursuit is rather limited, so getting into Palm City Raceway is the only great location for high speed pursuit, but it lacks roadblock and spike strips along the raceway, but rhinos are there. I can't bring myself into slamming police vehicles because... you know why.

    But, daytime pursuits in heat is fun, i can camp around the gas station and have fun wrecking cops in my M3 GTR until i get busted... of course. Daytime cops are just as aggressive even though you won't see roadblocks nor rhinos.

    RHINO

    The Heat Rhinos are slower and only one came out than that of 2005, but it makes up for the damage it deals onto player's vehicle, that evens out the field.

    The warning sign is just annoying and gave it away too much, it's still useful for beginners, but it becomes useless once you understand the power of the police scanner. You just need to expect the keyword "Seven-ten", "Heavy armor", "SWAT". If you fail to hear them, well... good luck, at least you can still notice their presence with their unique, blue triangle icon on the map.

    ROADBLOCK

    I barely went into them in heat... but i kinda get the idea, they don't use cars... they always have spike strips, you have to go around them or smash through the sawhorses, hitting concrete barriers will zero-out the speed, hitting spike strips well, messes your speed and traction....

    I never hit spike strips for once and i became curious of how is it gonna' be like... (since i know that you can reinflate your tires after some time)

    Also... the roadblock placement seems inconsistent, they should be placed according to the race route or ahead of the player (assuming going straight ahead), not randomly around the player's proximity. Then we're talking.

    The roadblock in heat is less exciting than that from most wanted where you smash the trunk of the car or just T-Bone them for that sweet, sweet bounty. But... if you hit them at the wrong spot, you risk sending your car upside down or stuck on the roof of the police car, and then busted.

    Because in heat, you will likely go off-road from it... right? RIGHT??

    KILLSWITCH

    The Kill switch, well... i never get double-kill switched... so the killswitch never stun my vehicle, they only manage to mess with my GUI. So i can't say much about this, how does it feel like getting shut down by kill switch?

    First time knowing this, i got EMP-vibe from it since i played Hot Pursuit 2010 (Plus there is a jammer that counters it, same thing from HP 2010), so the first thing i do when the Kill-switch warning appears is hitting brake and turn around, well... it worked.

    HELICOPTER

    Heat copters are just for scouting, nothing else... and it's sight is inconsistent, you could evade the pursuit even when the copter is right behind you.

    Well... i was expecting special moves from the copter to stop you, but not flying low to hit you or drop spike strips... well... something, something new. (No... not shooting missiles)

    BOX FORMATION

    Box formation which can be bad if you don't counter it. Some cars will follow you from behind, then some to your side, then to your front, then they PIT you... (i thought all of them would brake-check)

    However this move is not as effective as Most Wanted 2005, as i've seen myself stopped multiple times in pursuit but there are always gaps in their box maneuver. (unless you got pinned into the wall). In Most Wanted 2005, this is executed better and you could expect double layers of box formation.

    Of course, this can be prevented by sideswiping the cops on your side to break free before getting forced into full-stop, well.. except you can't PIT cop cars that easy in Heat.

    OTHER TACTICS

    There is rolling roadblock.

    Then this annoying PIT maneuver that literally turns your car into 0 mass (i'm talking about a freakin' small corvette sending your F-150 truck off the road effortlessly)

    DAMAGE

    The game follows the damage mechanic from HP 2010 (although inconsistent) where you shunt them to deal damage, or slam your hood into their door to deal damage. And the cops seems to avoid getting to your side because of this unless they perform boxing maneuver. (You can't easily shunt them from behind even using nitrous, because they just follow your speed)

    You can tell that from the police scanner, you hit the door with your hood then you hear "Suspect just rammed me". If you hit them in their face head-on or their hood managed to touch your side or your back you will hear "Control, i just hit the suspect". That convinced me that it follows the mechanic fomr HP 2010

    Cops speeding from oncoming will handbrake to the side to block you, but this maneuver is a double edged sword, because if they handbrake with their hood facing you head-on, they barely take damage and you also take damage. Instead, they stop on their side, allowing you to perform One-hit T-bone Smack Down (while taking damage, at least you wreck them).

    Due to the repair limit, i couldn't recklessly slam them left and right... except... i have fun wrecking them in heat 5 daytime pursuit. (Not gonna' wreck the last one or the pursuit ends and... well... back to heat 0)

    BUSTING

    Weird, i call it weird, just when i'm about to break free i get busted, it seems that the bust bar doesn't reset after a specific speed limit has reached. i guess it resets when you're within a distance from the police? i guess? i call it weird!

    The penalty from heat is... you lost around 10.000-60.000 bank? and the rep gained will not be multiplied, well... at least your car won't get impounded(Even when such thing exists, let's hope it didn't have the same fate as Ana's 350Z lol).

    However, the penalty is nullified if you feel like you have nothing to spend on so you go with 0 bank level 50 rep. Busted? ok... There should be more penalty that nullifies this other than bank reduction. (i think that's the reason Most Wanted impounds your car)

    CONCLUSION

    Well... that's my opinion about the police chase from NFS : Heat... it's fun, engaging but some flaws can be exploited that defeats the entire purpose of this police chase. (Go ahead park yourself on top of a container or jump across a gap)

    Please answer... Honda nsx 1992 faster than my Corvette but really bad handling

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 09:25 PM PST

    So I bought a 1992 Honda and engine swapped it for a v8. It's one of my fastest cars now with every part elite. Was this a good decision? The car won't drift at all in high speeds what can I do?

    Need For Speed Most Wanted for the ps2 needs a modern console/pc game

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 10:06 PM PST

    They made a game CALLED NFS:MW for the Xbox 360, but it was nothing like the original. The original Most Wanted was actually the best formula for a need for speed game I have seen, and I've played most of them, even the mobile game one. It had a clear cut goal, a great progression system, different challenges that were almost always fun. When you had to run from the cops you had tons of different options to escape them, or you could just sit on top of the buses at the airport where they couldn't catch you. All the rivals had good personalities and a fun pink slip system where you could collect all of their cars. The blacklist system was a blast to play through and some of the challenges or races were legitimately difficult, especially if you tried to do it before upgrading your car. I would kill for a modern console and pc release of either a remaster or an updated game based on the same gameplay of NFSL: Most Wanted for the ps2. Thank you.

    Vasilev's GT-R

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 08:53 AM PST

    Vasilev's GT-R

    I was thinking of getting the bosses cars from Payback and I had Vasilev's Nissan, so I thought maybe I could build it in Heat as well. Unfortunately I didn't find any liveries for it (even though there were a 1000 liveries), so I came up with the idea of making the decal for it. Of course it's not a 100% replica (I didn't even find all the right stickers), I did it from a video, but I'm really happy how it turned out, since it's my first livery that I made myself. I know it could've been a lot better, but it's the first time that I did a livery in Heat.

    Can we expect an update to fix those things?

    Bit new in nfs heat have a query about engine swaps.

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 01:58 PM PST

    My main question is that if I swap an engine to my current car increasing its max hp, will the upgrade ECU etc. will be gone and I should buy it again? If it's now gone do I need to buy another set of it for the current engine i bought? . I don't want to buy high end cars as much as possible and want to finish the game with the car I love

    NFS Heat some questions about tuning

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 07:13 AM PST

    Hello, so i love some awd cars but there is one thing that's annoys me thei can't make fast turns without a handbrake, so maybe there is some tricks with rith parts ant live tuning settings to make them corner beter. I know that is not possible to make them as nimble as rwd base car but I would like to make them a little more enjoyable to race.
