My BIGGEST GUIDE AND WITH THE MOST VIEWES!!! Thanks to all the fans. All the congrats mails ("you`re cool", "you have a very good guide" or "your faq rocks!") helped me on doing a lot of more good work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2]Welcome to "Most Wanted" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the new racing game in the NFS series. Let us watch back to the other NFSs and what did they brought new: NFS1-this was a realistic game for it`s time, an arcade style racing game NFS2-introduced the Tournament, Knock Out and Split Screen NFS3-Hot Pursuit-this game was the first that had cops and pursuits N4S4-High Stakes-Had Career and High Stakes races (you raced for pinkslips, if you lost, you lost your car also, NO second chance) NFS5-Porsche 2000 and Porsche Unleashed-All the cars in the game where Porsches, you could start the Career from 1900 or in Factory Mode where you worked for the Porsche Test Team (Porsche was, is and will still be for a long time THE MOST realistic and hard race game in the world, not to mention that is the most multiplayer-played NFS...) NFS6-Hot Pursuit2-Cops where back in the job, it had 2 modes: Championship, without cops, or Hot Pursuit, with cops and you also played as a cop NFS7-Underground-Introduced modding on cars and new type of racing NFS8-Underground2-you could cruise in the city and had 2 new type of races NFS9-Most Wanted Forgot to remind these 2 that had a significance (good and bad) for the NFS series: NFS2 Second Edition-it was better than NFS2 simple and it had a much bigger succes NFS motor city-almost nobody remembers when this game came out A lot of Nfs, no? But now, we`re talking about NFSMW. So, let`s get racing! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3]The Career ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I guess a lot of you will try out the Career. Let`s see who the characters are: Mia-your girlfriend. As allways, she`s a racer and pretty sweet. Come to mention it, She`s the uglyest girl in this game. No, really now, she is! Razor-currently #15 on the blacklist and the one who takes you BMW Sergeant Cross-a mean cop. Likes to catch racers and take a look under the hood. Cross` assistant-it`s the chick that`s with Cross. No name, but she looks good. Ronnie-just a racer that will become #3 on the Blacklist Bull-same as Ronnie, only he will be #2 Now, you`re wondering what`s the blacklist. It`s a Blacklist with the most wanted racers in Rockport. You`ll soon become #1. How do you get ranked? You got to make a certain number of wins, milestones and bounty. Milestones are records made by a blacklist member. Bounty is the bounty on your head. The Heat level is represented by a flame and a number. The lower the number, the less police. More on police tactics in Tips&Tricks! The New types of races: Speedtrap-when you go by a radar you must have the highest speed. Your speed from all radars from the race must be bigger than the total speed of the other racers. If somebody finishes first, the other racers` speed will decrease. TollBooth-a checkpoint-type race The city has 3 areas and each of them unlocks itself in time. They are small enough to remember, and big enough to have races. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [4]Blacklist members ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let`s see who those Blacklist members are and what trashcan they drive, shall we? #15-Sonny-Volkswagen Golf GTi #14-Taz-Lexus IS 300 #13-Vic-Toyota Supra #12-Izzy-Mazda RX-8 #11-Big Lou-Mitsubishi Eclipse #10-Baron-Porsche Cayman S #9-Earl-Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII #8-Jewels-Ford Mustang GT #7-Kaze-Mercedes-Benz CLK 500 #6-Ming-Lamborghini Gallardo #5-Webster-Corvette C6 #4-JV-Dodge Viper SRT-10 #3-Ronnie-Aston Martin DB9 #2-Bull-Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren #1-Razor-BMW M3 GT-R ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [5]Pursuits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ah, the Pursuits! These are my favorites from all the game. How to start a pursuit? Simple, go by a cop! How to lose a cop? Go into Pursuit Breakers, destroy their cars or just lose them. I call Pursuit Breakers, Stoppers. A Stopper works like this: you hit it where the icon is. Some of you don`t know what that is, so let me give you an example: The Donut shop has a giant Donut on it. If you hit one of the colums (they are marked with the icon) the Donut will roll on the road and then crash. You ussually can get out very fast from a pursuit with a Stopper. How to use the Stoppers very efficient and how to survive a long puruist? Simple, read the Tips&Tricks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [6]Challenge Series ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ These are some Pursuit type challenges, simillar to those in NFS6. These are milestones races. You have a milestone to complete and then lose the cops! There are also the TollBooth races. I wanted to talk about the Black Edition Challenge, the 69th challenge, the last one, the one that is already unlocked, the hardest one in the game, that one! A lot of people say it`s hard. No, it isn`t. I finished it in a half an hour, and my time was 5mins and 43 seconds. You got to run ONLY on the highway. After you get the 500.000 bounty, just go into the town a go through stoppers. Suvs aren`t so though as they look. Keep focused and you will succed! Secondly, the BurgerKing challenge. You can win it, of course. I have received an email regarding the reward of this challenge. This challenge unlocks the unique parts ONLY in quick race mode! So don`t ask me why you don`t have it in Career mode!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [7]Tips&Tricks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RACE tips When you are racing, try to use the Speedbreaker and Nitro to make close turns. Speedbraker is BulletTime, like in Matrix. Your car goes very slowly, so you can make 90+ degrees turns. The control of the car in SB is better than in the game, it`s very close to the one in NFS Porsche. Also, try to use stoppers in races too. Those things can stop all 3 rivals and you can get a nice, long, clean start. When you make turns, try to hit the other cars. Always try to hit the other cars. Try to use as many shortcuts as you can. Get familliar with the city! Use your nitro in close turns and in straight roades. Some of you don`t know about the Nitro-turn trick. as you come to a close turn, use the SB. You can see that the car slides into one part of the screen instead of going straight. Just hit the Nitrous and things will get to normal. You`ll catch speed, go straight and the SB will disable itself. PURSUIT tips Do not ever ever, try to escape from a pursuit before doing ALL you milestones. That`s the biggest mistake you can make. After you do the milestones, just lose the cops in the city with Stoppers. The BEST STOPPER is the Opera one. The Opera is in the small park. *NOTE:the opera is in the 3rd city. Look in the map and you will see a big grey circe. Not a perfect circle. Think of a grey "flubber" You just hit one of the columns and the metal-thingy above crashes. Even if it doesn`t fall on the cops, I know that any car with 300kmph, hitting a big chunk of metal will destroy itself. And it does! I used it, like 30 times, and everytime all the cops were gone. Oh, and after that just stay in the opera house. Don`t leave from there! Even if there is a hidding place nearby, don`t risk. There is a 90% chance that another cop sees you, if you go anywhere! Just stay there. No cop can see you, even if it`s not a hidding place. It`s even better than most hidding places. Regarding the heat level. I suggest you have 2 cars: one for races and one for cops. The one for Cops doesn`t have to be a fast car. I think that the best pursuit car is Earl`s car. You need a solid car for that, not a fast one! When you get to the next rival start with the pursuit first and do all 4 milestones from 1 try. If you do them, you`ll have the necesary bounty on your head! Then do the races with the other car and when your finished, the Pursuit car will have a level 2 heat. Also, another good place to lose cops: HIGHWAY. Oh yeah! Believe me! They have a good chance of getting hit by another car or get lost on the way. The best of them are the Highway of the first and third city. The first has the golf course nearby where you can lay low. The third has that circular thing where you rotate and you can lose cops easily there. Another good tip. Look if you are chased. If the car the is pursuing you is in front, then take a sudden turn to lose him, or just ram him. Career tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only car that you should choose when you start the game is the Chevvy. I still use my Chevrolet and let me say to you, there`s no other car like it. It`s even cooler than the BMW. And more manuverable! THE NEXT TIP IS A PREMIERE TIP!!! I`m the only one who knows it!!! How to get ALWAYS, BUT ALWAYS AND ALWAYS the pinkslip for the rival car? Select the 2nd marker. I have done this 10 times, 10 times I have selected the 2nd marker and 10 times I got the rival`s car. I also have tested it on some other PCs and it works!!! Let`s get back to the Career. I suggest you pick your races from the menu, not from the game. I mean jump to the garage, don`t drive there! It`s easier, more fast and it`s got no risk. I just hate it when I find a cop and I`m in a level 4 heat car... I guess no one wants to get busted by a silly mistake. Car tips If you finish the Career you will soon realize that the first BMW isn`t such a great car... I mean Webster`s car is better. It has a lot of top speed and acceleration, but you can`t use them without a lot of handling. And the BMW has medium handling... When you go to buy a car, go back home and don`t buy. It takes a lot of money to buy a new car and to mod it. If you really want, you can steal a rival`s car! Also, your first car will always be the best! Only if you chose the Chevrolet. And latter cars, like Lamborghini and McLaren aren`t any better than your car. I guarentee it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [8]EA trax(TM) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here are the songs from Most Wanted: Avenged Sevenfold - "Blinded In Chains" Bullet For My Valentine - "Hand Of Blood" Celldweller feat.

Some of the tracks are good, but I don`t like them all. I suggest you deactivate the songs you don`t like. Why? More stress is the thing you DO NOT NEED in nfsmw. So check only the songs you would like to hear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [8]Cheats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The followind cheats are from www.cheathappens.com If they do not work, do not email me!

It can even minimize itself with no reason. The way to repair it? Just close unwanted programs: antiviruses, messengers, dc++ and other things like those. Even if you have a good PC (like a 3GHz CPU, a 1GB RAM and a 512mb Video Card, the game can also run slowly. It`s the game`s fault, not your PC`s!) It seems that this game runs slow on some consoles too. Especially on PS2. I also don`t recomend buying an X360 now, because numerous reports of games for it won`t work! Why? Microsoft says "games` fault". Producers say "Consoles` fault". What I think? Well, I don`t trust Microsoft from the moment I learned that Windows isn`t an original program, that is just a remake of Lindows. Anyway, if you really want a x360, there`s no stoppin` you. Also, there are little programs from the net that can resolve the problem. Or, if you know PCs just change the anti-aliasing from the video control panel. Not the game`s one, Your Video card`s one. The one that installs itself with the drivers... Also, some consider things that ARE MADE to be like that a bug. Let me give you an example: if you are "flying" and you should land off-road you will notice you hit NOTHING!!! The game is just made for you to go where they WANT YOU to go. If the game let`s you go on the golf course, that doesn`t mean that you can go through any fence and go in the country place. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [10]FAQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I always try to answer all the questions in my guide.
