Re: Need For Speed Payback: Play as the Cop

@BLVD69 In Payback you don't have to follow the escape route.Use the open world all you want.Turn around on them if you like.Use the escape route when you like.A pickup truck or SUV works best.I have 54 hours in pursuit and 4,013 crashed police.Race on everyone!

Whilst that's very correct, the 1 mile slowdown proximity of an escape point still causes the cops to stop spawning properly and despawn completely when not on the mini map. Depending on your escape point, this will still leave a good chunk of the map inaccessible if you don't want to risk ruining the chase. This is especially visible when the escape point is in Silver Rock (city area in the South-East).
In addition to that, the limitations of Bait Crates mean there are unfortunately no Rhinos, spike strips, or roadblocks as they were scripted to missions. Great job wrecking all those units though!

@Jacobba55 204 busts.You are right about getting to close to the escape point. I agree that Rhinos, spike strips, and roadblocks would make a Bait Crate escape more challenging as in a high level Heat escape!! Race on.
