cops...

[Pay Dro]

anybody knows if the're gonna put cops in the game this time around...i think its sort of a necessity...i believe SRS has cops in it and the whole need for speed franchise has been pretty much based on fast cars, racing, and gettin away from cops sooooo...i think thats something they should think about adding to this game, if underground 2 wishes to stay on top of everybodys preference list in underground racing games later this year...

I don't think they are, and I too am disappointed! I read somewhere that they don't want to include Cops just for another bullet point on the box. They said that if they were going to include cops, it would have to be in a game that was focused and concentrated solely on cops like HP or HP2.

What a load of S**T They are just being lazy.
NFS was built on getting away from Cops, that is what made the game so interesting for me in the first place.
No Cops was the only disapointment about NFS Undergournd, that and there not being any Aussie cars :'(

Euhm VSV6
They left cops out since cops are for the Hot Pursuit series.
Not because they are lazy.. they just want to keep the cops exclusive to the HP series.

There are cops in every NFS but NFS2 and NFSU.

Well, in NFS PU the cops felt like hardly more than an afterthought. ;)

I agree with ASjyM - in fact I think I read it in one of the developers interviews - that EA consider the 'Hot Pursuit' games a different bloodline in the NFS family, so they decided not to have it in the Underground series.
I can understand that cops would make sense in a streetracing game... but I think'EA is just focusing on digfferent things with the Underground series.
Maybe they were worried about a possible negative image (remember the disclaimer at the start of NFS U?)

Certainly cops would fit in perfectly in the Underground environment, but the idea of it is that you can develop yourself in that world without any law obstruction. You know, a good idea would be to develop an expansion pack for NFSU2 called Hot Pursuit or something, jeje...

Well i think its a good idea that they dont have cops in U2 cause it would be annoying if u cant finnish a race and loose money cause u can out run the cops on the Car u have... sure be good for some Cops in it but i just think its better this way. if u want cops play GTA VC or the new one thats just come out well coming out. any way thats my 2 cents ill shut up now befor i give a $1. :cool:

[Y2kGoofball]

well, I;m in 2 frames of mind

Even the Fast And Furious movies had cops, if I remember the quote from the first movie goes "oh sh!t we've got COPS COPS COPS COPS" shortly before being bombarded by them ;) , oh and who can forget the inclusion in F&F2 where all those cars come out of that warehouse ;)

Then again I suppose I agree with there theory of keeping them only in HP

Then again they have had cops since before they released NFS HP, then yes again in HS, HP2, and as an afterthought in PU

So I dunno what I think &(

[G-Tech]

Well I've got the best solution for both worlds.

Cops in Freeroam but disabled during a race.

Cause like mentioned they made sure there wasn't going to be any cop problems before the race then they didn't have a cop problem untill after the race in F&F, in both of them actually.

So I say have the opportunity to run into cops that you have to outrun while in free-roam and if you get caught it costs you so much money yada yada.

Then when you start a race have them turned off. I think that would work for everyone right?

I can also justify there not being any cops 'cause I've seen a good deal of street races and you rarely ever see the cops. And when you do it's right when you were leaving anyways.
