1#-->--Introduction----------------------------------------------------------
==-/

Need for Speed Most Wanted A Criterion Game is the....actually, there's an
unskippable intro when you play the game for the first time, so I'll let you
slave through that and save you the trouble here. It's an open-world game in
the likes of Burnout Paradise, which in my opinion was a nice game. This game
however, is not Burnout, and while it does share many similarities, it is
ultimately in need of more speed than Burnout. Honestly though, I have no
other words to share about the Need for Speed franchise, as the most recent
Needy Speedy game I played was Pro Street, which... was a mild experience to
say the least (the DS one is the one). The last Need for Speed I played?
The one for Windows 95/98, NFS III Hot Pursuit on an AMD K6 500mhz computer
with 8MB of video RAM. So as you can see, I am coming into this series
somewhat as a newbie, my first taste of Burnout being the one on the Xbox,
that first Xbox, and being a huge fan of Burnout Paradise, I was quite stoked
to return to cop avoiding fun in an open-world form, and my final opinion is:
it's an okay game. It's not fantastically awesome, but good driving fun.

So! Buckle up and jump into your favorite (class) of car, because we're going
to drive so fast, the cops will spit out their coffee in surprise like that
guy in Top Gun, because you can go as fast as over 200MPH, and if you drove
by me at that speed, I'm sure I'd Top Gun spill my coffee too.

==-
2#-->--PC SETUP TIPS---------------------------------------------------------
==-/

The common FPS results shared among gamers is that this game is poorly
optimized, and their FPS is just low, like lower 30's low. Those folks
who have Nvidia GTX cards and their Core i7 CPU's. Me? My specs are as
follows:

AMD APU A4-3400 2.7Ghz Dual core processor
Radeon HD 6410D graphics with 1GB VRAM force-allocated (Catalyst 13.6 Beta)
19" 1440x900 LCD monitor on DVI output (game res at 800x600)
8GB DDR3-1600mhz RAM, CAS 11-11-11-31
A dying, 2% S.M.A.R.T. health HDD at 250GB
(note that I am always multi-tasking, in this case a HDD regen was running
on another hard drive while playing.)

As you can see my computer is a sad sight and somewhat pathetic. My FPS?
Highest is 34, lower is 26, averages at 30. If I overclock my RAM to 1866Mhz,
I will have it fully stable at 30FPS with no drop in frames. (Note that I
am using MSI Afterburner to display my frame rates, which displays less than
Fraps, ie fraps may show 40 but MSI will show 37. I do not know why, but
that is that.) I do somewhat agree though that this game isn't optimized
well, considering enabling motion blur, or low shadows makes a .5 of a
difference. Regardless though, I have everything on low or off where
applicable, but there's some things to look into besides those.

-First off, let's look at your graphics card setting. As I am AMD, I will
be referring to Catalyst Control Center, but if you are Nvidia, do look
for the similar setting. Now, my setup is a custom profile, if you have
a better AMD graphics card than me, your default profile should be good
enough, otherwise, I'll share this anyways. I set Tesselation to AMD
optimized, as I found turning that off to have worse minimum frames than
with it on. Texture Filtering Quality is set to Performance.

Now in the game, there was one interesting setting which had quite an effect.
Gamma correction, when lowered very low, like 10% low, gave me an additional
5FPS! Now I know I didn't raise it (which was around 55%), but lowering that
has made it much more playable. I would guess this could be the same for any
regardless if you are AMD or Nvidia.

Now this being a PC game, I do not recommend using the keyboard. Unless you
really want to cramp your hands, or if you reconfigured the whole thing to
be more pleasing to your carpal-tunnel-allergic hands. I suggest using a
game controller, as it's much easier to use, and very much more natural. I
do not have a racing wheel, so I don't know about those, but I do have a
chinese USB Playstation Dualshock clone thing that works fine, despite how
low quality it is. I borrowed a Xbox360 controller, and that was the best.
No re-configuring, it worked right out of the USB port. Er >_>

As for sound, I turned off Music because searching for the jack spots was
a chore. Was that my radio or was that his? I also enabled Reverbration,
as it makes tunnel driving so much more better, with no noticeable hit in
FPS.

3.a#-->--Jack Spots----------------------------------------------------------
====-/


I've given you the locations, but without a decent GPS, how are you to
find these Jack Spots? I've concluded that a picture is worth the thousand
words I would have typed just to describe where is what, in which I don't
even think that would be good enough. So, visit the following link for the
Map picture of where is what:

4#=-->--Parts----------------------------------------------------------------
==--/

The only way to get parts upgrades is to win them in races. I heard that
previous NFS games had shops. But what is the difference, one must earn
money to buy, right? Anyways, here's the parts:

{{{{TIRES}}}}

--OFF ROAD TIRES
Improves off-road performance. Better on tarmac than Standard Mod.

--TRACK TIRES
Improves performance on tarmac.

--REINFLATES
Allows burst tires to re-inflate. Can only be won by placing at least third
in all race events per car.

{{{{Nitrous}}}}

--BURN NITROUS
Increases engine power while active.

--POWERSHOT
Uses full nitrous tank for an acceleration burst. (Nitrous tank must be
filled to activate)

{{{{Chassis}}}}

--LIGHTWEIGHT
Improves control and acceleration.

--REINFORCED
Reduces damage taken from impacts

{{{{Body}}}}

--AERO
Improves ability to reach top speed. Increases jump distance.

--IMPACT PROTECTION
Stabilizes car during impacts

{{{{Transmission}}}}

--LONG GEARS
Increases top speed. Better acceleration than Standard Mod

--SHORT GEARS
Increases acceleration. Higher top speed than Standard Mod


====-
4.a#-->--Parts - PRO upgrades------------------------------------------------

5#-->--Races-----------------------------------------------------------------
==-/


There are 4 types of game modes (races), each one different than the other.
Here are their descriptions:

-AMBUSH
Someone tattled on you, and the cops are on your tail. You must shake them
off in the lowest time possible.

-CIRCUIT RACE
A race against other AI cars in multiple laps, on either asphalt or dirt.

-SPRINT RACE
A one way trip against other drivers.

-SPEED RUN
Try to maintain your highest driving speed throughout a one way trip. I
recommend lowering your vehicle's weight before doing these events.


====-
5.a#-->--Races per Class-----------------------------------------------------
====-/


So while there are different races, each class of cars have the same
types of races, but different locations. The goal of this section is to
have all the races listed in one place so that if you were to drive for
example a muscle class, you'll find Muscle Class cars under one section,
instead of listing cars in alphabetical order, I figured this was the
most sortable solution, similar to my Luminous Arc 2 FAQs, my style is
intended for "reading while playing", as many time I come across a FAQ
that wanted to be more stylish than usable.

Notes:
-All races are preferrably driven during the day.
-1st place is 12000 SP, 2nd place 8000 SP, 3rd is 4000 SP
-Winning second, and then first, will not give you 8000 + 12000SP. No matter
what position, it will always equal 12000 total. For example, if you placed
3rd, and then you retry and place 1st, you will get 4000+8000SP respectively.
-When using EasyDrive's recommended races, the prize per race in order
of difficulty from Easy to Hard:
--Burn Nitrous + Off Road tires
--Lightweight Chassis + Track Tires
--Long Gears + Reinforced Chassis
--Powershot Nitrous + Impact Protection Body
--Aero Body + Short Gears
--Reinflating Tires only won if placed at least 3rd in all races per car.
-You can expect to race against similarly specc'ed cars in races. What you
won't see is Vin Diesel bringing a truck to an Exotic class race :P
-All races are listed per my default setting of Miles Per Hour (MPH).

5.b#-(MUSCLE CLASS)>---------------------------------------------------------
====-/

------------------------------\
/=/=/=/=/=BMW M3 COUPE=====\
--------------------------------\

HARBOR RUN_____________________________
-Difficulty: Easy
-Type: Sprint Race

What kind of sprinty Ambush race is this? Cops right at the start, so
just never let go of the accelerator if you can.

FAST TRACK_____________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Speed Run
-Speeds: 110MPH, 100MPH, 90MPH

Nothing much to say except, there are what you'd call turn shortcuts, as in
some parts of this race takes place on wide turns, and you may be tempted to
cross over these shorter turns, but I suggest you don't. That shortens your
driving time, and in this speed run, it's more important to use every
available time it takes to reach your top speed.

CONTINENTAL DRIFT______________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Circuit Race

This one is easy. It's just a big around and round race, how hard can
it be?

DOUBLE PARKED__________________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: AMBUSH

Oh these Ambushes are always fun. Once you land the jump of the cut scene,
head straight until you see what looks like a courthouse, and turn into the
street to its left (Pearl Street), and then turn left and heads towards the
Body Shop up ahead. Once you exit that body shop, make a hard left into
Beltway South, heading straight you will see what looks like another road
to the left of Beltway South, take that while hugging the bend, and you'll
have passed a police roadblock, then turn right into a little green pasture
that has trees on either side, and make a run for the Body Shop up ahead.
Once you exit the Body Shop, make a run for the freeway underground by
taking the off ramp, and once you are on the freeway take the next available
off ramp to exit the freeway. Continue driving straight until you see those
3 arches, drive through one of them and then make a right onto Vicennes Road,
and make a run for that little ramp in the middle of the road, best speed
to prevent overshooting it is 90 MPH, and this will take you onto the top
of the bridge for the trains. Stay put and make sure you don't move so that
your engine can shut down, and you should make the 2:30.00 limit for 1st.
This is the easiest way to ensure cops are taken down by your constant
switching between roads, so that they will hit obstacles and not you, 
remember to avoid hitting the cops as that will increase your Heat level.
Note that if there is a cop heading your way from the train bridge, you
can skip going through the 3 archs and instead turn into them and hide
there instead.

SPRINT EASTWARD________________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: Sprint Race

Sprint eastward it said. I think that means we are going east, ja? A mostly
asphalty race, so equip lightly and racingly.


---------------------------------------\
/=/=/=/=/=DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8=====\
-----------------------------------------\


FAST TRACK_____________________________
-Difficulty: Easy
-Type: Speed Run
-Speeds: 100MPH, 90MPH, 80MPH

Nothing much to say except, there are what you'd call turn shortcuts, as in
some parts of this race takes place on wide turns, and you may be tempted to
cross over these shorter turns, but I suggest you don't. That shortens your
driving time, and in this speed run, it's more important to use every
available time it takes to reach your top speed.

RUNNING THE GAUNTLET___________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Sprint Race

You start off on the freeway, and end up somewhere near downtown. No off
roading, despite how slow this car is >__> If it gets incredibly frustrating,
You have to smash everyone in your path, seriously. I kept retrying this,
beating my personal best each time by 3 seconds, and it wasn't enough
until I layed waste to the streets.

THE HUNTED_____________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Ambush

Probably one of the more stranger Ambush's in this game, where you start off
trapped in a building with a bunch of cops in your vicinity. Your goal is to
make it to the top of the building, and head down the only exit (it's
basically just the edge of the roof), and you'll see a billboard in front
of you, make sure you are going slow because your goal is to drop right down,
and you'll see a body shop on your radar. You must take the route around to
this body shop, in a way that it will make you exit towards that construction
pit that is beside a railyard. If you did this correctly, you will have
entered cooldown by the time you make it into this construction zone, and
then head towards the body shop to the upper left. Make sure before you
enter this body shop, Heat Level 2 should be almost down, enter the body shop
once you enter Heat Level 1, and kaboom, completo.

For this slow donkey-butt car, you can try another way, and that is to enter
the body shop from the other direction, and it will make you exit to a that
left turn that has a secondary road underneath it. I went on the upper street
and then turned around to hide in the lower dirt path, which is just as good
for 1st.

POWER STRUGGLE_________________________
-Difficulty: Hard
-Type: Circuit Race

I don't even know why this car is in this game. Seriously, "Need for Speed"?
This dang car really needs speed. It's off road, so equip them off-roady
tires.

CANNONBALL RUN_________________________
-Difficulty: Hard
-Type: Sprint Race

It's an asphalty race, so equip accordingly. Cops appear very early in the
race.

CRASH LANDING__________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Circuit Race
-Location: Hodges Airfield off I92 North

It's a race around the airfield, so I suggest removing track tires. There
will be plenty of chances to take down other drivers due to the amount of
obstacles on the track, so take the opportunity when you can.

SPRINT EASTWARD________________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: Sprint Race

Sprint eastward it said. I think that means we are going east, ja? A mostly

Note: A most wanted car. Must shut down first to do the following events.

CRASHDOWN______________________________
-Difficulty: EASY
-Type: Sprint Race
 
This is a one way race. There's only one off-road moment, and that is a
shortcut. Depending if that shortcut is important to you, equip accordingly
(I beat this race with Track Tires :P) Of course, if you are great with
easydrive quick part switching, then you can simply equip off-road tires
once you approach the shortcut XD

GRAVITY________________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: SPEED RUN

Fairly easy speed run, except for the many turns. You'll have to drift
like a master to make sure your speed does not drop.

DOUBLE PARKED__________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: AMBUSH

Oh these Ambushes are always fun. Once you land the jump of the cut scene,
head straight until you see what looks like a courthouse, and turn into the

RED SHIFT______________________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: Circuit Race

Normal race. Some off-road moments, and they will help, so I recommend
equipping off-road tires. Cops see you halfway through lap 1.

TURBULENCE_____________________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: Circuit Race

Oh, what a race around town. You'll attract cops on the first lap, and
there will be roadblocks on lap 2. I'd hold down that accelerator if I were
you.

Cops appear very early in the race.

THE FUGITIVE___________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: AMBUSH

Oh, it might look like a doozy of a nightmare, but this one is plain and
simple: lose the cops inside the airfield. I went straight through some
hangars and went through what looks like a car garage, and up the ramp
onto the roof and drove off, and headed straight for the exit onto the
freeway, and U-turned right towards the Body Shop, by this time you'll
have entered Cooldown, so going through the Body Shop should drop you -1
Heat Level, and then head back into the Airfield (YES) and hide in there.

GET TO THE CHOPPER_____________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: SPEED RUN
-Speeds: 110MPH, 100MPH, 90MPH
-Location: Callahan Industrial on Beddoe Drive

You'll drive a highway 2/3rds of the way, so try not to crash at the end.

CRUSH HOUR_____________________________
-Difficulty: Hard
-Type: CIRCUIT RACE

A rather fun race for 3 laps. You will face cops at the end of Lap 1, so
be prepared for that. I do like taking that shortcut around the big left
turn bend but don't hug the bend too much as you will pass the checkpoint.

CRUISE CONTROL_________________________
-Difficulty: Hard
-Type: Circuit Race

A normal race around town. Don't.... crash? :p

RUNNING THE GAUNTLET___________________
-Difficulty: Easy
-Type: Sprint Race

You start off on the freeway, and end up somewhere near downtown. If it
gets incredibly frustrating, you have to smash everyone in your path,
seriously.

THE HUNTED_____________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Ambush

Probably one of the more stranger Ambush's in this game, where you start off
trapped in a building with a bunch of cops in your vicinity. Your goal is to
make it to the top of the building, and head down the only exit (it's
basically just the edge of the roof), and you'll see a billboard in front
of you, make sure you are going slow because your goal is to drop right down,
and you'll see a body shop on your radar. You must take the route around to
this body shop, in a way that it will make you exit towards that construction
pit that is beside a railyard. If you did this correctly, you will have
entered cooldown by the time you make it into this construction zone, and
then head towards the body shop to the upper left. Make sure before you
enter this body shop, Heat Level 2 should be almost down, enter the body shop
once you enter Heat Level 1, and kaboom, completo.

For this slow donkey-butt car, you can try another way, and that is to enter
the body shop from the other direction, and it will make you exit to a that
left turn that has a secondary road underneath it. I went on the upper street
and then turned around to hide in the lower dirt path, which is just as good
for 1st.

POWER STRUGGLE_________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Circuit Race

It's off road, so equip them off-roady tires.

DOWNTOWN RUN___________________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: SPEED RUN
-Speeds: 150MPH (1st), 140 MPH (2nd), 130MPH (3rd)

I actually found this quite hard. Mostly because it's a long donkey-butt
drive, and for a speed run, one little mistake, and it's ruined. So drift
smartly because dropping your speed is a no-no.

RED SHIFT______________________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: Circuit Race

Normal race. Some off-road moments, and they will help, so I recommend
equipping off-road tires. Cops see you halfway through lap 1.

BURNING RUBBER_________________________
-Difficulty: Easy
-Type: Sprint Race

A rather simple race, honestly. Seems a bit long for a one way trip.

PUMPING IRON___________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Sprint Race

Another sprint race lol. Cops and dirt driving, so equip accordingly.

DOUBLE PARKED__________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: AMBUSH

Oh these Ambushes are always fun. Once you land the jump of the cut scene,
head straight until you see what looks like a courthouse, and turn into the
street to its left (Pearl Street), and then turn left and heads towards the
Body Shop up ahead. Once you exit that body shop, make a hard left into
Beltway South, heading straight you will see what looks like another road
to the left of Beltway South, take that while hugging the bend, and you'll
have passed a police roadblock, then turn right into a little green pasture
that has trees on either side, and make a run for the Body Shop up ahead.
Once you exit the Body Shop, make a run for the freeway underground by
taking the off ramp, and once you are on the freeway take the next available
off ramp to exit the freeway. Continue driving straight until you see those
3 arches, drive through one of them and then make a right onto Vicennes Road,
and make a run for that little ramp in the middle of the road, best speed
to prevent overshooting it is 90 MPH, and this will take you onto the top
of the bridge for the trains. Stay put and make sure you don't move so that
your engine can shut down, and you should make the 2:30.00 limit for 1st.
This is the easiest way to ensure cops are taken down by your constant
switching between roads, so that they will hit obstacles and not you, 
remember to avoid hitting the cops as that will increase your Heat level.

GRAVITY________________________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: SPEED RUN

Fairly easy speed run, except for the many turns. You'll have to drift
like a master to make sure your speed does not drop.

STOREHOUSE STAKEOUT____________________
-Difficulty: MEdium
-Type: AMBUSH

I love ya, Ms. Ambush. Nothing better than having a time limit when playing
hide and seek. Once you start this one, head as straight as the road will
allow you and take the left turn at the end of this pier/dock. You will see
what looks like a path through some containers, take this straightaway and
you'll see a white car garage building. Worm your way around inside, by this
time you'll see a Body Shop on your map. Make your way to that as quickly as
you can, and by the time you reach this, you're out of the cops radar zone.
There should be a roadblock ahead once you exit the Body Shop, so make a
left onto the freeway, go straight a bit until you see another Body Shop
appear on your radar, take the off ramp to exit the freeway, make a left and
that body shop will end pursuit. I managed this whole event in under 1
minute.

CRASHDOWN__________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Sprint Race
 
This is a one way race. There's only one off-road moment, and that is a
shortcut. Depending if that shortcut is important to you, equip accordingly
(I beat this race with Track Tires :P) Of course, if you are great with
easydrive quick part switching, then you can simply equip off-road tires
once you approach the shortcut XD

PARK AND RIDE__________________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: Sprint Race

Park and ride it says. But you leave the park and ride out to ashalt

it's asphalty as usual.

Oh, it might look like a doozy of a nightmare, but this one is plain and

Get off the top of this building, and try to worm your way through these

to get on the freeway and stay on there. By this time you'll have

FAST TRACK_____________________________

Nothing much to say except, there are what you'd call turn shortcuts, as in
some parts of this race takes place on wide turns, and you may be tempted to
cross over these shorter turns, but I suggest you don't. That shortens your
driving time, and in this speed run, it's more important to use every
available time it takes to reach your top speed.

-Type: Circuit Race
-Location: Ripley's Point, on Bishop Street

As the name suggests, it's a race around the dirt. Imagine you are
controlling a pig, and you have to skid around the tight muddy turns on
your way to the finish line. Your speed matters most on the turns, drift
that mud like you're on water, drift too long and you slow down. Control!

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION__________________
-Difficulty: EASY
-Type: Sprint Race
-Location: Fairhaven, on Hallenbeck Road
 
This is a one way race. You should have Nitrous and Off-road tires
equipped, so drive it like you stole it. Said Duke.

JUMPING JACKS__________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Circuit race
-Location: Corner of Malone and Riggs streets

Race against others, so equip accordingly. Grass and dirt along the way.

Off the Grid___________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Circuit Race
-Location: Ripley's point, Corner of Bishop Street & Reese Drive

This is hard. Dirt flying in your face, cars fighting for space, to know
your place I recommend Off Roading the race. And Cops. And, daylight driving
is easier, so avoid driving at night.

CRASHDOWN__________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: Sprint Race
 
This is a one way race. There's only one off-road moment, and that is a
shortcut. Depending if that shortcut is important to you, equip accordingly
(I beat this race with Track Tires :P) Of course, if you are great with
easydrive quick part switching, then you can simply equip off-road tires
once you come up to the shortcut XD

INDUSTRIAL WAY_________________________
-Difficulty: Hard
-Type: Speed run
-Speeds: 115MPH, 105MPH, 95MPH
-Location: Interstate 92, at the I92 Junction 10

You should have Long Gears and Lightweight chassis equipped, as there are
no other cars to crash into or bother you, so lose some weight :p There will
be some off-road moments, so I suggest the Off-road tires.

SPORTS SPRINT__________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Sprint race

Oh look, no cops :P It's an asphalty race for most of the race except for
the very end of it, where the finish line is right after a tight turn. On
this turn, there is a dirt shortcut, so, if you have some boost, I say take
this shortcut.

TRAILBLAZER____________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Sprint race

A freeway race with cops. These AI drivers do not let up unless you crash
into them, so don't drop speed at any time.

THE GETAWAY____________________________
-Difficulty: Hard
-Type: Speed Run
-Speeds: 130MPH, 120MPH, 110MPH

What a doozy. There are cops, and you need to maintain a higher speed than
usual compared to other cars. To give you a better perspective on how you
can easily do this, you have to keep your speed above 118MPH on just these
very first 2 right turns. And then keep at least 120MPH while going through
this strip mall with grass, I recommend you equip off-road tires because
you cannot afford to lower speed at all except for turns.

NEEDLE POINT___________________________
-Difficulty: HARD
-Type: Speed Run
-Speeds: 155MPH, 145MPH, 135MPH

What a nightmare. A freeway, cop laden speed run that has you running
at a higher speed than usual. It might be maddening, but you have to watch
out for the cop who will try to ram you from the right, at the very start
of the race. Now, it gets even more crazier: you have to drive through
Hodges Airfield, so you have no choice but to equip off-road tires. If you
are pro enough, you can have track tires going to the airfield, and then
easydrive switch to off-road when approaching the airfield. It's a dirty
run for sure.

CHAIN REACTION_________________________
-Difficulty: Medium

DOUBLE PARKED__________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Ambush

Oh these Ambushes are always fun. Once you land the jump of the cut scene,
head straight until you see what looks like a courthouse, and turn into the
street to its left (Pearl Street), and then turn left and heads towards the
Body Shop up ahead. Once you exit that body shop, make a hard left into
Beltway South, heading straight you will see what looks like another road
to the left of Beltway South, take that while hugging the bend, and you'll
have passed a police roadblock, then turn right into a little green pasture
that has trees on either side, and make a run for the Body Shop up ahead.
Once you exit the Body Shop, make a run for the freeway underground by
taking the off ramp, and once you are on the freeway take the next available
off ramp to exit the freeway. Continue driving straight until you see those
3 arches, drive through one of them and then make a right onto Vicennes Road,
and make a run for that little ramp in the middle of the road, best speed
to prevent overshooting it is 90 MPH, and this will take you onto the top
of the bridge for the trains. Stay put and make sure you don't move so that
your engine can shut down, and you should make the 2:30.00 limit for 1st.
This is the easiest way to ensure cops are taken down by your constant
switching between roads, remember to avoid hitting the cops as that will
increase your Heat level.

Nothing much to say except, there are what you'd call turn shortcuts, as in
some parts of this race takes place on wide turns, and you may be tempted to
cross over these shorter turns, but I suggest you don't. That shortens your
driving time, and in this speed run, it's more important to use every

I love ya, Ms. Ambush. Nothing better than having a time limit when playing

allow you and take the left turn at the end of this pier/dock. You will see
what looks like a path through some containers, take this straightaway and
you'll see a white car garage building. Worm your way around inside, by this
time you'll see a Body Shop on your map. Make your way to that as quickly as
you can, and by the time you reach this, you're out of the cops radar zone.
There should be a roadblock ahead once you exit the Body Shop, so make a
left onto the freeway, go straight a bit until you see another Body Shop
appear on your radar, take the off ramp to exit the freeway, make a left and
that body shop will end pursuit. I managed this whole event in under 1

THE HUNTED_____________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: Ambush

Probably one of the more stranger Ambush's in this game, where you start off
trapped in a building with a bunch of cops in your vicinity. Your goal is to
make it to the top of the building, and head down the only exit (it's
basically just the edge of the roof), and you'll see a billboard in front
of you, make sure you are going slow because your goal is to drop right down,
and you'll see a body shop on your radar. You must take the route around to
this body shop, in a way that it will make you exit towards that construction
pit that is beside a railyard. If you did this correctly, you will have
entered cooldown by the time you make it into this construction zone, and
then head towards the body shop to the upper left. Make sure before you
enter this body shop, Heat Level 2 should be almost down, enter the body shop
once you enter Heat Level 1, and kaboom, completo.

For this slow donkey-butt car, you can try another way, and that is to enter
the body shop from the other direction, and it will make you exit to a that
left turn that has a secondary road underneath it. I went on the upper street
and then turned around to hide in the lower dirt path, which is just as good
for 1st.

CRUSH HOUR_____________________________

A rather fun race for 3 laps. You will face cops at the end of Lap 1, so
be prepared for that. I do like taking that shortcut around the big left
turn bend but don't hug the bend too much as you will pass the checkpoint.

TURF WARS______________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: CIRCUIT RACE
-Location: Vernon Rise at Hughes PArk

One day you and your friends were barbecuing at Hughes Park, and the
argument escalated as to whose truck is better. Basically, you're driving
around in circles at Hughes Park, I recommend off-roading.

LIBERTY PARK___________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: AMBUSH
-Location: Dead center in Hughes Park

Medium difficulty, yeah right. My best time was 1:06, and that was because
I got lucky by doing a 180 right where you started, driving back the way
you were going, but take the upper right past the monument at the center,
 driving towards the main road, but instead of taking that nearest body shop,
 turn right, doing your best drift you can, and the cops tailing you should
 crash, causing their HEAT radius to stop, and once you leave their HEAT
 radius, drive back into the park and hide up near the buildings inside
 Hughes Park. Once again, I got extremely lucky, and this required more
 retries than any other race type I played.

CRASH LANDING__________________________
-Difficulty: Hard
-Type: CIRCUIT RACE

It's a race around the airfield, so I suggest removing track tires. There

Sure it's called a speed run, but at 105Mph, I don't think the cops will
even notice you. Don't drift often because your speed will drop, and at
the last turn, make sure you have boost to just boost drift it. Also
remember to keep off road tires equipped.

Body Shop up ahead. Once you exit that body shop, make a hard left into
Beltway South, heading straight you will see what looks like another road
to the left of Beltway South, take that while hugging the bend, and you'll
have passed a police roadblock, then turn right into a little green pasture
that has trees on either side, and make a run for the Body Shop up ahead.
Once you exit the Body Shop, make a run for the freeway underground by
taking the off ramp, and once you are on the freeway take the next available
off ramp to exit the freeway. Continue driving straight until you see those
3 arches, drive through one of them and then make a right onto Vicennes Road,
and make a run for that little ramp in the middle of the road, best speed
to prevent overshooting it is 90 MPH, and this will take you onto the top
of the bridge for the trains. Stay put and make sure you don't move so that
your engine can shut down, and you should make the 2:30.00 limit for 1st.
This is the easiest way to ensure cops are taken down by your constant
switching between roads, remember to avoid hitting the cops as that will
increase your Heat level.

A very asphalty race.

LIBERTY PARK______________________________
-Difficulty: Medium
-Type: AMBUSH
-Location: Dead center in Hughes Park

Medium difficulty, yeah right. My best time was 1:06, and that was because
I got lucky by doing a 180 right where you started, driving back the way
you were going, but take the upper right past the monument at the center,
driving towards the main road, but instead of taking that nearest body shop,
turn right, doing your best drift you can, and the cops tailing you should
crash, causing their HEAT radius to stop, and once you leave their HEAT
radius, drive back into the park and hide up near the buildings inside
Hughes Park. Once again, I got extremely lucky, and this required more
retries than any other race type I played.

-Type: Sprint Race

An asphalt race along the coastline. Equip for speed.

THE GETAWAY____________________________
-Difficulty: Hard
-Type: Speed Run
-Speeds: 120MPH, 110MPH, 100MPH

What a doozy. There are cops, and you need to maintain a higher speed than
usual compared to other cars. To give you a better perspective on how you
can easily do this, you have to keep your speed above 118MPH on just these
very first 2 right turns. And then keep at least 120MPH while going through
this strip mall with grass, I recommend you equip off-road tires because
you cannot afford to lower speed at all except for turns.

CRUSH HOUR_____________________________
-Difficulty: Hard
-Type: CIRCUIT RACE

A rather fun race for 3 laps. You will face cops at the end of Lap 1, so
be prepared for that. I do like taking that shortcut around the big left
turn bend but don't hug the bend too much as you will pass the checkpoint.

5.i# (THE COPS)>-------------------------------------------------------------
====-/
NOTE: This section is about cop pursuits in the open-world, not in race
events like Ambush, Sprint Race, etc.

I normally would have given this it's own section, but since you do race
against the cops for the sake of hiding from them, I feel it's best here.
Disclaimer: the mangatron does not condone running from the cops IRL. If
you are flagged by an officer, it's better to stand your ground instead
of resisting arrest.

So how do you start a pursuit? You can either:
-Bump into a cop car.
-Cause a traffic accident in front of the cop car.
-Drive over 60MPH beside or cutting across a cop car.
-Sitting on the middle of the road, blocking a cop car. They will warn you
with a "whoop" sound from their siren, if no movement then arresting time.

This will begin cop pursuits at Heat Level 1. Heat Levels are from 1-6. From
my gameplay experiences, they are as follows:

___HEAT LEVEL 1: A Cop who was on donut break saw you, and wants to take you
down.

___HEAT LEVEL 2: The previous cop crashed, and wants backup, calling for more
cops who finished their respective donut breaks.

___HEAT LEVEL 3: You have taken down one too many cops. Here comes the Highway
cops, who are tougher (they equipped Reinforced chassis :P)

___HEAT LEVEL 4: Cops are having difficulty taking you down, so they ask for
SUV's to help out.

___HEAT LEVEL 5: The SUV's were apparently too slow, so they asked for the
sleek speedy black widow interceptors to entrap you with spike strips. These
cars primarily overshoot your highest speed to lay spike strips in front of
you.

___HEAT LEVEL 6: Apparently those spike strips kept being avoided as if you
couldn't see them in the first place, so they call for armored cars to take
you down.

As per the game, you actually get SpeedPoints for whatever you were doing
with these cops. Do keep in mind that you will only get all the accumulated
SP if you succesfully ended pursuit without getting caught. Here I will list
the points from what I was able to see:

-Begin Police Pursuit: 600SP
-Head-on Takedown: 400SP
-Traffic Takedown (Crashing cop into civilian car): 500SP
-Slam Takedown: 500SP
-Shunt Takedown: 450SP
-T-bone Takedown: 475SP
(unconfirmed: repeated above takedowns add 50SP?)
-Hitting Trafic (no crash): 35SP
-Ramming: 25SP
-Slam: 25SP
-Entered Heat Level 3: (too quick to see)
-Entered Heat Level 4: 5000SP
-Go through roadblock (no crash): 250SP

TIP:
The easiest way to build up SpeedPoints is to initiate a cop pursuit. What
I do is a Demolition Donut Derby, and that is to choose a six lane part of
the I92 freeway, and drive back and forth, drifting 180 to turn around and
build up Nitrous, all while using said Nitrous to boost smash the nearest
cop. When you do this in a small area, there is a higher chance of the cop
being confused about which direction you are going, and while they are busy
trying to turn around, they are mostly stationary, making it easier to take
them down. Heat Level 5 is the easiest, as the Interceptors do not back
up in reverse that well, and being lightly armored, they are a cinch to
take down.


==--
6#=-->--Defeating the MOST WANTED--------------------------------------------
==--/


Ah, the most wanted. Too bad there's only 10 of them. I really think
there should have been more, or at least some variation. Like, how about
a Most Wanted SUV? Make the race inside that construction zone in McClane.
But I digress. These 10 Most Wanted races are races around Fairhaven, no
laps, just a one way ride with a bunch of cops on your tail.

Notes to remember:
-Defeating these cars unlocks their locations on the map (jack spots).
-I seriously recommend getting the parts for the car you want to use,
please don't use the Ford F150 Raptor without Burn Nitrous, just don't.
-Burn Nitrous Pro is a recommended upgrade to equip. This will increase
your boost bar, so that in the event there's no Body Shop around, 10 bars
is better than 5 bars of Nitrous. See 4.a# for details to unlock.
-12000 SP awarded for defeating a most wanted driver.

---------------------------------------
#10: ALFA ROMEO 4C CONCEPT
---------------------------------------/
--SP needed to challenge: 60,000
-Car I used: Ariel Atom 500 V8
-Heat Level: 3

You start off very off-roady, and you'll have to drive through the sandy
beeches at the end. How you want to play it depends on how you will handle
the middle of the race, which takes place very much on asphalt.

---------------------------------------
#9: SHELBY COBRA 427
---------------------------------------/
--SP needed to challenge: 135,000
-Car I used: Ariel Atom 500 V8
-Heat Level: 3

Do not, I repeat, do not hold the accelerator button at the start of this
race. Control it in bursts as there are 2 little jumps, at high speed you
will overshoot the sharp turn that occurs right after the second jump. As
for the rest of this race, this Shelby likes to take its time, a nudge
can take it down quite easily lol.

---------------------------------------
#8: MERCEDES BENZ SL 65 AMG
---------------------------------------/
--SP needed to challenge: 220,000
-Car I used: Bac MONO
-Heat Level: 3

I would have to suggest Off-road tires, if only due to the very off-roady
part near the beginning of the race, it is unavoidable so, if your car
does not have a decent off-road rating, I suggest equipping off-road tires.

---------------------------------------
#7: LEXUS LFA
---------------------------------------/
---SP needed to challenge: 315,000
-Car I used: Bac MONO
-Heat Level: 4

This one is kind of the opposite of Most Wanted #8, so if that dirt shortcut
means a lot to you, then I say use a car with good off-road ratings. Besides
that, it's an asphalt race the rest of it, except for the very end, where
your off-road rating should matter because it's basically a dirt ramp that
will land you at the finish line. This Lexus has what I believe to be a top
speed of 175MPH, so if you have a car that can do better, then you're good.


---------------------------------------
#6: MCLAREN MP4-12C
---------------------------------------/
-Car I used: Bac MONO
-Heat Level: 4

This is probably the time to stop using the RACE class cars, as this race
was a chore for my upgraded, not-so-pro-parts Bac MONO. The sewers are at
the end of the race, and if you know those, you'll need a good off-road
rating to get through without this guy passing you. I had to use full
Burn Nitrous just to bring myself to 180MPH inside the sewer tunnels,
which is the only good thing about the RACE class (good accel).

---------------------------------------
#5: PORSCHE 918 SPYDER CONCEPT
---------------------------------------/
-Car I used: BMW M3 Coupe
-Heat Level: 4

I recommend equipping off-road tires as there are several dirtcuts to take,
and they can greatly help.

---------------------------------------
#4: LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR
---------------------------------------/
-SP needed to challenge: 630,000
-Card I used: Porsche Carrera S
-Heat Level: 5

There are some shortcuts, but this is one winding asphalt race. I would
have to say off-road tires first half, track tires second half.

---------------------------------------
#3: BUGATTI VEYRON SUPER SPORT
---------------------------------------/
--SP needed to challenge: 750,000
-Car I used: Audi R8 GT Spyder
-Heat Level: 5

The serious part of this race occurs when you near that coastline part
of the map. You must equip off-road tires during this segment, unless you
want to use off-road tires all the way, but if you do that you will miss
out on the freeway segments, which are quite long. Easydrive!

---------------------------------------
#2: PAGANI HUAYRA
---------------------------------------/
--SP needed to challenge: 875,000
-Car I used: Audi R8 GT Spyder
-Heat Level: 6

It's an asphalt race true and through. Starting at Hughes Park, you need to
control your speed here as the jumps are continuous. Not long after leaving
Hughes park with be a couple of Interceptors with a Spike Strip Roadblock.
The only other part to worry about is the construction zone at the end of
the race, you can cut through it, but that would mean equipping off-road
tires to do so. If you can take down this guy before that, that's even
better.

---------------------------------------
#1: KOENIGSEGG AGERA R
---------------------------------------/
--SP needed to challenge: 1,000,000
-Car I used: PAGANI HUAYRA
-Heat Level: 6

This was one serious race. I had used the Ariel Atom, the Bac Mono, I ended
up going with the Pagani Huayra, which I think is the only way to beat this
guy because if he falls behind, he'll zoom right back to your butt. It's
over 4 minutes long, and it ends right at that Pagani construction zone.
How close was it? I took him down right near the finish line, that's how.

7#=-->--Multiplayer>---------------------------------------------------------
==--/

I unfortunately do not have a good connection, so I can't even race. I
felt this FAQ is not the place to share my sordid experiences with the
quality of my internet, which you can read plenty about on my blog.

What I can do is share some info regarding multiplayer:

-The Higher your speed level, the more you can unlock, such as cars, more
Milestones to beat, or license plates.
-Note: You must have a Speed Level of at least 2 to see your Milestones list.

There are basically 2 game types (not modes), simply put it is similar to
the old days of public servers and private servers. The 2 types are:
--Public games. These are simply those who are online and joined an event
(race), and Criterion's preset events will handle the rest.
--Friends list. These are people you invite/joined, folks you know and not
some random dude who didn't get the invitation. This is where you can
organize your own events into SpeedLists.
-SpeedLists are comprised of 5 races back to back.
-To race, you will have to meet up with the other drivers at a certain
location.

The following types of races are available:
-TEAM RACE: players are split between 2 teams. The objective is to earn as
much speed points through your Finish position, takedowns and spot bonuses.

-SPEED TESTS: For 90 seconds, all players race to set the highest speed
through either a Speed Trap, the longest jump, drift or time. Taking down
a player will freeze their score.

-CHALLENGES: everyone must complete certain challenges within a time limit.
The one who contributes more gets more Speed Points.


If you want to submit info I missed, I'll add it to my FAQ here, and credit
you where necessary.

==--
8#=-->--Achievements/Milestones>---------------------------------------------
==--/

Some may not realize it, but there's quite a number of records to be broken
in this game. Achievements, or Milestones as the game calls them, is when
you accomplish a particular action, and be rewarded. You know how there's
a free-to-play model for games these days, I don't like that. I would much
rather see some cash payouts for completing a near-impossible feat :D

Well, this one is mighty difficult to explain. In an open world game,
describing these locations are not going to be easy. What I do believe in
is that a picture is worth a thousand words, so visit the following link
for screenshots of these locations. I have unfortunately not found all
the locations of the billboards at the time of version 1 of this FAQ, but
I intend to drive around more now that this guide is done. The link:

10#=-->--Frequently pondered questions>--------------------------------------
==---/

Q: Hey, Vin Diesel brought a muscle car to Shaw's tank race in Fast Six.
A: Uh, okay...

Q: He also flew without wings. Killed the movie for me, man.
A: Wait what? That scene was in the trailers! A man will do anything for the
girl he loves, even fly. That didn't stop you from going to the movie
theater, apparently.

Q: He also drove through the nose of an AN-124 Condor.
A: Hoover Dam SPOILERS :P Diesel Sneasel, I don't want to talk about 
Diesel anymore. I was just making an example.

Q: Did you know in the Philippines, they use a type of gas called Diesoline?
A: Oh for farming's sake...

Q: Where do I submit info/typo fixes?
A: Visit the post on my blog, and comment there. I am not going to give out
my email because I have been fighting spam for 14 years of email use. You
newgen's don't know what it was like in the old days, posting one's email
anywhere was like a classified ad for anyone to contact you. Comment here:

themangatron.blogspot.com/2013/08/need-for-speed-most-wanted-criterion.html

Q: What's a newgen?
A: I consider a newgen anyone born within the last 18 years. They got it
spoiled alright. Back then we had to deal with a simple internet, no
torrents slowing down ISP's, no Youtube, no Broadband, no Rottentomatoes.com
to help us decide what movie sucks and what doesn't, nowadays you got
smartphones, portable consoles more powerful than the home consoles of
the 90's, Facebook & Twitter for everyone to share pics of their latest
breakfast. :P

Q: Not all newgens are spoiled.
A: I know, but there sure are some bad ones too.

Q: What does "donkey-butt" mean in this FAQ?
A: I'm not the sweary type like some newgens are these days. It kinda
irritates me, they add "F*cking" to anything, like "F*cking awesome!" or
"so f*cking epic", do they even realize what they say? That also means
"That's so mating awesome!" or the hilarious "that's mating ridiculous".
So I'm sticking to donkey-butt instead of azz, and considering the
education system these days, people could learn a thing or two about the
work-horse, and that emule program. That thing was great when it works :D

Q: Help! My chinese clone controller doesn't work properly!
A: There's an update. I usually got the message that I configured a button
on my controller too fast, but it still works.

Q: I can't beat ____ car/race.
A: If you can, go and unlock all the PRO parts of the cars. I don't even
have a car with all PRO parts, just the ones that mattered, maybe unlocking
all PRO parts will make it a supercar >__>

Q: My car is too slow.
A: I'd say it's common knowledge, but don't confuse your car with parts
mixing. For example, if you want to go fast, it's best to equip Lightweight
chassis + Aero Body. You don't want to equip Reinforced Chassis + Aero body,
it's just making things neutral. There are exceptions though, but hey, not
all cars are perfect.

Q: How do I hide from the cops?
A: I don't know if this game has True Sight like Company Of Heroes 2, but it
does sort of work by line of sight. That is, if they can see you, you are
still under pursuit. The only exception to this is if you are still within
their heat radius, no matter if you are hiding in a box, you will still be
under pursuit. Once you enter cooldown, if you are not in their sight, you
will be hidden. Be sure to stop the car, no buttons pressed in order
for the engine to shut down, thus cooling down faster. Yes, hiding behind a
ledge as high as your car's height does help, even if the cop is on the other
side.
