Hey there!My question is that can you play as a cop in heat? because in NFS: Rival you can play as a cop and it's so much fun if you wanted to be a good guy in the game.

@GuiLTheGr8 The latest IGN gameplay interview also mentioned no Be the Cop mode.

@BVBgamer88It certainly has degenerated hasn't it? I try to do what I can to help, but ultimately I'm one person and not everything I say is necessarily right, or will bring in the most profit from unsuspecting consumers.You should've seen the response I got for remotely criticising NFS Heat engine swaps, it was absolutely venomous, they were spitting acid... All for supposedly "hating on the game before it's out." After that a number of seemingly irrelevant and incompetent insults were hurled, leaving me wondering what has happened to the community. All for indirectly saying Civic Cruiser rubber-banding was "*Better than NFS Heat engine swaps.*" Sorry to bother you with something so off topic, it just seems stupid to me. They must love Payback!

@Jacobba55 I feel you,I also get raging fury poured for crticising NFS' fake Back 2 the Roots words.As if BB era is the Definitive NFS like Marcus BSed in NFS2015 presentation.BB fanboys are the main source of fans,guess it takes more time to let EA realize the full history and different fanbase of NFS games.

@GK3512 Okay, how to explain this? My first and likely favourite game is NFSMW 2005, HOWEVER, I try to be different. I do not try force a remake on people, I try to be open to other ideas and games, but most importantly I use it as more of a "gold standard" as opposed saying that they need to literally remake the game. I will not go out of my way to critique the classics, that's for sure! Especially since that was an age where games were far less profit motivated.I hope my stance on NFS doesn't ruin things, sorry...

@Jacobba55 Very acceptable and rare TBH.And actually the changing style of NFS is the root of chaos and rage between fans.EA should do thing in a balanced way.A giant IP in games certainly led to giant different fanbase.Let alone 25 years of history see changes in car world itself.The core of nowadays NFS is like when they started UG1-MW05 era(I dont think they are rubbish,but not what root is)NFS is becoming a trend chaser since UG1,and that's actually the biggest problem.NFS lacked the identity.Not HP,not MW,not UG even not pro racing.EA itself doesnt know what is NFS because they let NFS become too much things.So all they can do is,to get as much cash as possible,go for the biggest fanbase-tuners/ricer underground custom world.And with the so-called success NFS2015,they keep on this way.That's the biggest problem.With so much styles they can do,they only focus on tuners alone,rather than let pro/cannonball/FF/history lessons(PU2000)take turns.And with a stable style alone.I'd say NFS is closer and closer to the doom.

@AliAlaa12YT Ben walker said you cant at launch, so im pretty sure he was talking about the Singleplayer campaign. But he also said that dont be surprised if they let us play as cop in MP, so time will show my advice is wait after luacnh before you buy.

Really disappointed that we can't. But ultimately they can't stop us from playing as cops in multiplayer, in Payback I use custom cars and the Crown Vic all the time! However, I'm hoping they will at least give us the tools to play as cops with each other. For example, allowing us to drive the whole PCPD fleet this time, and there's clearly a demand for cop vehicles shown here. So, here's hoping we get all the PCPD vehicles!
PCPD 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (Day and night versions)
PCPD "Eden Shores" 2015/2017 Dodge Charger SRT8 392 Police Package.
PCPD "Pursuit" 2017 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Grand Sport Interceptor.
("Generic armoured car") PCPD SWAT Rhino Van.
Lieutenant Mercer's Unmarked 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z28.
There is another Cruiser that I hope someone would be able to clarify, as I am unable to find it in any gameplay video or trailer. According to FANDOM-Wikia, there is a PCPD SRT Viper GTS as well. But I'm unsure whether it actually exists, can anyone confirm it? Thanks in advance.

@Jacobba55 In the first trailer there was a shot of PCPD Viper, but not seen in gameplay now.
