I already said that I forget sometimes to use it, I try to resolve this problem but this will take some time to change my habits. (After years of playing I tended to keep my nitro for when I really need it, like when I crash for example, but yeah this isn't the best here cause if all the resets ^^)

1. There is, I plan to do it when I'll equip the turbo next time I go in the shop, so I can go in this menu only once.
2. Sometimes I forget, but most of the time it's just that I don't think it's worth, because I'll have to brake harder. 3)On this point I gained a little bit of time, because I was at full speed for the next straight (40km/h difference) and so I didn't have to burn all my nitro for next turn. This turn is most likely the only turn in the game I use it, otherwise I find it useless.

2nd segment is online you can see it in the first post.

I had some problems in this one due to cops RNG, they never spawned when I wanted, so I had to start a pursuit in the menu, losing a few seconds.

Apart from that, it's pretty good, just some little loss of time due to jump landings in majority.

Level 3 can be ok if it's possible to gather some cops at the same place, but it seems difficult to time it correctly, it demands some luck too.

Speaking of luck, I can already tell you that I will lose a few seconds in the 2nd segment, because in the only race with maximal cops chase, I didn't have any cop presence, and I drove like 4 hours in this race, so I gave up. Anyway that's just a 5 seconds loss or something like that, so it's not that big.

I didn't gain any bounty in this 1st pursuit, and I think it's useless to try to get extra bounty in the 2 first heat levels. You don't get enough bounty to count on it later in the game.

I'm not sure about what you meant, but that is not changing my plans. I made a routing, It's made to be used ^^ The Golf is :

1. Well-balanced
2. Heavy enough to destroy police cars (at least when you hit them correctly, but this is the challenge)
3. The fastest car overall 3-bis) Because you'll never have to come back to level 1 (apart from zone unlocks).

If only we could've unlocked the Elise after #9, it could've been just a great timesave....

And, how could've lost 1 minute on the cop chase? Did you skip the 2 mins milestone?

I know that I would have avoided it, but I only talk about the short moment I lost the cops, not after.

I thought about doing it again, but the problem is that I would've needed to have again a perfect sprint race and perfect cops RNG during this race (because otherwise I have to go to the BL menu to start a pursuit, and in the run I didn't have to, so I gained 5 secs).

I said I will not drive too many hours a day, and this race was the longest one for me to get a nice run. The race in itself was ok but not perfect, but the cops RNG was just epic. And I didn't have motivation to retry it till it's the same.

I maybe miscalculated my time loss tho. I lost 2-3 seconds due to my early escape, and a few other ones because the pursuit lasted a bit too long. If this thing happens in a similar way later in my tests, I'll try to do better, but it won't be systematic.

Tho I'm on 360, so I can't setup graphic quality to remove some obstacles, and sometimes it's faster to hit them than avoid them.

On this segment I lost 10-15 seconds on cops chase, and maybe 5 secs on races to be perfect, that's why I said it's quite good but not excellent.

@JessicaSix : The game is early 720p, as it was one of the very first games on X360, and it was basicly developped for other platforms than this one. This version is just the PS2 one with 720p-ish textures, dynamic light and shadows, and a farther sight distance.

And thanks for your comments, I appreciate :)

First segment, containing intro & Sonny is here. You can see it on the 1st post.

I saved around 1 minute comparing to my one-shot, so it's quite good. It's not pefect tho, you'll see some mistakes and/or just some thingd I could've done better

We'll have to compare that when I'll have my segmented run done. I feel confident atm to do a sub 9h overall. I said before that it could be a real category, but I'm not even sure tho, because even if that makes you gain a lot of time, I don't think many ppl will find some interest doing it, it's not how NFS games are done.

Well we can consider that the new glitch I found could be useful in a segmented NG+ run, so with the extra 10k cash, it could become a real category, as the time gain should be quite big. (like 15mins, maybe more).

I'll show the updates on this thread.

I know, I know you don't have to hit it, I just said that if you failed your line on the turn you're supposed to overtake him, you can still do it by ramming him in the next turn.

And by the way, which time is taken into account in the leaderboards? With or without loads? I suppose with, but if it's the case, wouldn't it be better without?

Just did a new PB on 360, 2:30:48. Maybe I'll upload it if the time without loadings is ok. But I dunno what to think about this run. I didn't have to replay races cause of other crews, and cops busted me 2-3 times, so it's really good ( at least I didn't have such a good RNG till today). I lost nearly 3 minutes on Darius cause my car flipped on the last jump during the circuit race, and all in all I think I can gain 4 minutes if everything goes well.

I'll try to calculate my time without loads, and to compare, I'll do with Grim WR run, if it's OK.

@Grim & Ewil : You just need to be close to Kenji till the little tunnel. Then he'll fail the good line and go outside. Even if you mess a bit your turn, you can overtake him, if you hit him nicely.

That's nice.Now that gives me more motivation to run the game on X360.

Eclipsx, when will you stream again some MW?

I'd like to see someone else racing sometimes, to compare our routes and/or driving technicks.

I see what you mean and I totally agree with that. I already know that even in the 1st segment I can gain many seconds everywhere.

This is a just a problem of editing after. I don't really understand how to combine 2 vids if I enable autosave. I should probably retry a race like 100 times and disabling autosave. OR, I record X segments for each BL member, and mix them after.

I'm so lost right now with editiing xD

I wont cut after each race tho. Just doing 15 segments, 1 for each BL member in enough. So I think I might cut during the loading after the cards of each BL.

So maybe I should cut during the loading screen then.

And yes, ofc, MW has autosave, but this is a loss of time, because it saves right after a race, and when it saves I can't select the menu with the races. So I turn it off. For a segmented run, the only times I'll save will be in the safehouse after beating the BL member, and only if I'm satisfied with the segment.

Btw, when did you "paused" the timer when you save/reload your game? Or, did you count everything in your video? As I'm beginning a segmented run too, I'd like to know what do you think is the best to cut the video when I'll have to fuse all the segments.

I think personnally to do it when you get a text message after beating a BL member, but I fear that I won't always restart at the same place (safehouse or parts shop).
