Hello!
We're glad to inform you about next huge thing on server we started working on - police pursuits!
As you know, server is based mostly on NFS UG1-Carbon series so expect that we want to make pursits as much simillar as you know from these games so with wanting levels, roadblocks, SUVs and of course pursuits breakers!
Concept
Some of you may now think that pursits will be a big multiplayer arena. Unfortunelly not, there won't possible to play as cop, only as a "thief". The reason is simple - let's take 10 cops and 1 thief for a single arena and everyone would like to be a thief, not a cop. What then? In most cases you would be forced to play as cop. Also pursuit breakers wouldn't make sense then because players as cops would be smart enough to avoid them without any problems.
So here comes special police AI for a singleplayer mode.
Singleplayer? What about few thiefs on a single arena and a lot of cops? This also cannot be done due to serious performance and synchronization issues.
Police AI
Everything is still in early state. Still have to do about AI:
Pursuit breakers
They are not very started yet but here you can see our concepts of them:
