Can you be a cop in Unbound?
Hi guys, is there a hot pursuit mode in NFS Unbound?
Forum Discussion
I suspect that there is going to be a Cop mode in this game based on some of the cars that are available. Now I don't know that for sure but some of the Cop cars are the Hellcat, Crown Vic, Mercury, etc. and in the Trailer I believe a Ford truck is a Black n White.
I also suspect that the Cops will be something similar to Rivals. This should make it challenging for Racers depending on the skill level of the Cops playing the game.
I know I'm chomping on the bit to Bust Racers and take their cash and Level Up. The other side of me wants to race too because their are some cool cars in the game and I want to be able to drive 'em.
In Rivals I would just drive around in Undercover mode at Level 40 waiting for an unsuspecting Racer to drive by and then pounce on 'em. However there was one guy who knew my tactic and he would just come out of nowhere and wreck my car. It was funny at first then became annoying as he was able to pounce on me every time I was back on the prowl.
I noticed in Trailer #2 Release that it looks like in the Map display that it shows Cops nearby and their Ranking. Which were I believe Private & Corporal. Also it appears in the race that your money value is displayed and also ranks you by your position in the race. This I believe is so that a Player in Cop mode can see which Racer to target for a Bust attempt, which equates to your Heat Level and desire for a Cop to Bust a bigger fish for a bigger reward.
But this is still speculation on my part.
Thanks
It is my opinion there is graffiti in the game for Racers to identify themselves from Undercover Cops. I'm speculating that Cops won't have this Option. So Racers will join Crews
and graffiti their cars. I also speculate based on the Trailers that there will be Car Shows in various locations on the Map to try and hide from the Cops. And a High Ranking Cop can execute a SWAT takedown netting a whole Crew if he can discover the location of a Car Show.
Have to wait n see, I could be totally wrong or partially correct, dunno.
Another clue there maybe Cops in Unbound is the use of Spotters mentioned in the first Trailer Release. Watching Street Racing on youtube, that's exactly what they do is have Cop lookouts at a car meet such as Drag Racing etc.. If they see a Cop they will pick up and move the event to another location, the Racers scatter like roaches in under 2 minutes. Also in real life Street Racing Cops use Undercover Cops as a tactic to take Racers down.
Nothing definitive in Drop 3 Trailer but there is a question as to a possible Avatar with exclamation marks. In one sequence it appears to be a Cop car in Black & White. Then in another sequence it appears to be an Undercover Cop driving a Camaro both seem to have the same Rank.
This IMO is consistent with Rival Cops as in that game you work your way up Levels and can choose between Marked cars and Undercover cars. Like I said though we got nothing definitive is this Drop 3 video.
