(20,9KB) Coming in the next version(s): * Career Mode completed * Challenge Series completed * Stats for cars * Lyrics added * Parts added ============================================================================== Introduction [MW.02.01] ============================================================================== Official description: "Wake up to the smell of burnt asphalt as the thrill of illicit street racing permeates the air. From the makers of the hit Need for Speed Underground series, Need for Speed Most Wanted challenges players to become the most notorious and elusive street racer. Combining illicit street racing and tuner customization with the intensity of strategic police pursuit that surpasses any Hollywood-style chase scene, Need for Speed Most Wanted will be on every gamer's 'must-have' list this holiday season. Out-race rivals, evade cops and exploit hundreds of miles of open road as gamers make their way up the Blacklist." This game was made using the PC-version of the game. Don't worry, the game is the same on other consoles. The only difference between you and me might be that I'm using the Black Edition of the game, which features some extra stuff. ============================================================================== Race Types [MW.03.01] ============================================================================== Alright, I'm not just discussing race types here, but also some objectives you get for the milestone-challenges. Bounty: During a pursuit, get your bounty up high. Destroy things, immobilize police cars etc. etc. The longer the pursuit takes place, the faster your bounty will race, but the more aggressive the police will react. Circuit: Several laps of racing. Try to be first. Cost to State: During a pursuit, make as much damage as you can. Lap Knockout: You play this against 3 other racers. You race 3 laps, and you need to make sure you're not last. The one that finishes a lap last, is knocked out. The one that remains after 3 laps is the winner. Photo Ticket: Get yourself a photo ticket, but driving too fast. Pursuit: You need to shake off the police in a certain amount of time, or make it worth their time. Depends on the objective. Sprint: Go from A to B, and be the first. Tollbooth Challenge: Much like a sprint, but without any opponents. You just pass through tollbooths to gain time, and the police often bugs you. Trade Paint: Ram the car of the opponent. ============================================================================== Career Mode [MW.04.01] ============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prologue [MW.04.02] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Present Day... Challenging Blacklist Rival #15 You are going to ride against Razor, blacklist rival #15. If you lose, you'll lose your car. Better not lose eh? The computer will race the first part, but you'll have to do the last part yourself. Well... not really. Your car is leaking oil, and the game switches back into time. Six days ago... Entering Rockport City You are entering the city, and race against another person. The police stops you, and is planning to take your car. Lucky for you, they have to go. Sergeant Cross leaves a tiny little scratch on your car to remind you of him. How nice. 4 days ago... Cruising the streets... Looking for a race You're racing against Ronnie. All of this to find yourself a nice gang to hang out with. Winning isn't hard, because Ronnie is a terrible driver. Reward: 10,000 Once you find a gang, it turns out they don't like you. You're allowed to race and stuff. And you meet Razor... You also meet Mia, who's hot. Anyway, time to race, for quite a lot of money. And it's not just money that makes it exciting, they'll also call the cops. But anyway, you'll race Toru. Win while you're at it. Reward: 10,000 2 days ago.. Building reputation, winning races... Another race, but this time against 3 others, not just one. Reward: 10,000 Present Day... Challenging Blacklist Rival #15 So it's time to race against Razor. Again. This time you start from the beginning, on your own. Good luck. It doesn't even matter though, your car is broken and it stops working after a while. Guess who's behind that. Well mister sergeant takes you with him. Things look bad, don't they? Some time later... Mia picks you up from the police station. There's not enough evidence against you. Time to get your car back from Razor. You'll have to rank up through the list and beat him. But first, we need a new car. You only have 30,000, so you'll have to pick a Lexus IS 300 (best handling, costs 27,000), a Fiat Punto (best acceleration, costs 27,000) or a Chevrolet Cobalt SS (best top speed, costs 26,000). Whatever you like. I suggest picking the Cobalt SS, because it's the fastest. So, drive there ;p Mia will explain how the blacklist works, and some other things.

Unknown Mobile Messages ============================================================================== ***Text (After the first race) From: Rog Subject: Working your way up the Blacklist. Get to the top of the Blacklist & take Razor down. The Blacklist is reached from your Safe house & your in-game engage system. It keeps track of your progress & what's needed to challenge a rival. How? RACES - 2 ways: enter by driving to the flag icons on the map and use the engage mechanic OR bring up the Blacklist, enter the Races page & select a race. Either way, you're good to go. MILESTONES - Reach Blacklist rival will make you prove you can handle the heat before they race you. View the milestones by brining up the Blacklist & entering the Milestones page. BOUNTY - Your bounty level indicates how wanted you are by the police, and affects your notoriety with Blacklist members. It increases by completing milestones, for every second you are in a pursuit - higher heat levels increase it more quickly - and if you happen to immobilize any police vehicle during a pursuit. Your bounty only increases if you get away from the police. You can start a pursuit by accessing the Bounty page on the Blacklist.*** ***Text (After the first pursuit) From: Mia Subject: Basic rules for evading the police. The Rockport police are always looking for street racers. Here's some advice: DISTANCE - to escape, get some distance between you & the police. Until you're out of their sight, you can't get away. Take a route where you can make some quick moves & use traffic to your advantages to lose the police. Don't assume you can outrun them on the highways. HIDING - once you're out of sight, the police will be looking for you. Find a hiding spot or watch your radar & stay away from the police for a while. Hiding spots appear as blue circles on your minimap. PURSUIT BREAKERS - if the police are hot on your tail, look for the pursuit breakers that can quickly lose the police. Pursuit breakers appear as triangles on your minimap. BACKUP - whenever the cops following you are getting low on numbers, they'll call for backup. Make sure you get out of sight before the backup arrives or you'll have more police to deal with. You can see the backup timer on the pursuit bar.*** ***Text From: Rog Subject: The regs for racing the Blacklist members. Listen closely 'cause I'm only goin' over this once. Whenever you go up against a ranked racer, the pink slips go up for grabs. Now if you win, you get to choose 2 markers. Those markers represent anything from parts to favors to get you outta trouble with the cops. Included somewhere in those markers in the pink slip. You just gotta get lucky and pick the right one. Simple, right? We'll see.*** ***Voice (When finished all objectives) From: Rog Subject: Sonny's lookin' for a run. Hey man, that chump Sonny is lookin' for a run. He's still pretty fresh on the Blacklist, so now's your chance. Don't blow it.*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blacklist Rival #14: Vince Kilic 'Taz' [MW.04.04] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ride: Lexus IS 300 Strength: Sprint Races Bio: This crazy fool is a major heat score. Blacklist gave him the name "Taz". He hates cops and they hate him. Watch yourself around this guy. He prowls the streets of Rosewood looking for newbies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Race Wins: 4 Milestones Completed: 3 Bounty: 50,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want to beat Taz? Better wait for the next version of the guide ;) Mobile Messages ============================================================================== ***Text From: Rog Subject: New cars and parts. Now that you've beat Sonny, the local shops are gonna help you out with parts and upgrades to your ride. There'll be new cars to buy too, if you're interested. Remember to choose smart 'cause cash ain't always easy to earn. Plan out which cars you want and what upgrades you're gonna make. Don't assume you can buy everything or that drivin' a stock car will get you to the top.*** ***Text From: Rog Subject: Taz put out the challenge. Taz just sent me a list of the races and milestones that you need to beat to get a shot at his Blacklist position. Taz isn't new to this game so you're gonna have to prove you're ready to race him by winning races, beating the milestones challenges and racking up more bounty with the police.*** ============================================================================== Challenge Series [MW.05.01] ============================================================================== 1.
