It seems that cops are getting their revenge for being left out in NFS2.
Backup, roadblocks and tire spikes, oh my! They also added weather and
light sourcing to the NFS2 engine (SE I hope) and shortcuts (still not
complete freedom to roam is my guess). Even tho the preview is for the psx
version, the PC version should be no different. Sounds like they might
make up for NFS2.

If I remember correctly the in nfs there where only cops on the staged
circuits. That would mean if they continue in the same fashion the nfs3
would have open staged races as well.

Just want to remind everyone NOT to buy Nfs3 version 1.0 and wait for the SE
version, which will be out in 2-3 months, max.

:). What I was gonna do is this. After it came out, ask what could be in the
SE version besides more cars and tracks. With NFS SE, there were more
features, but NFS2SE was just more cars and tracks + 3Dfx. Mirror and
reverse modes don't count for me as features.

_1_ track, 3 cars and 3Dfx is a whole new game?!!? What are _you_ talking
about? NFSE added 2 tracks, new music, and morning, noon, or night time of
day settings.

I think you need to get a 3dfx card.
The important lesson here is *not* to buy the initial release of the game,
until they release the SE version a few months later. You know they're
holding back on some good stuff for the second version. Either that, or a
guarantee for free upgrades.

According to this thread NFS3 will bring back the cops. That's good
news - sounds like by about NFS5 in the year 2000 EA might have
actually recovered the feature set they had NFS 1! Ain't progress
grand?
Of course, that means the *real* NFS2 - that is, one that actually
IMPROVES on the NFS1 features - will be called NFS 6 or 7 and won't be
out until the new millenium.
