#Cops are too easy in Unbound

Is it just me or cops in Unbound are just way too easy even on Intense difficulty?

I only been busted ONCE. And I rammed myself to a wall and got myself killed. I miss Heat's cops already, I don't feel the slightest bit of tension from the police in this game.

Here are my underlying issues with the police bullet by bullet.

• Cops taken out too easy. Often then not, they drive into a civilian car and get themselves killed even on full health.

• Cops are not as aggressive as they are in Heat. Corvette aggressiveness is close to Heat but not as aggressive. Camaros and RAMs aggressiveness is few and far between.

• Cops have trouble catching up and their pathfinding leads them to going to different directions then the player.

• Cops don't do that handbrake 180* spin when the police are spawning in front of you. They will slow down and then make a 180 turn and by then you already zoomed past them.

• Cops don't do a lot of tactics like doing a rolling roadblock. Every now and then they do PIT maneuvers but that's about it. Sometimes they get in front of you but it's usually one that is in front.

I understand cops in Unbound are not the main focus story-wise. But it's disappointing to see cops get downgraded. I love pursuits so I like to see challenging police.

Nope it's not just you

#

Maybe they get harder the higher your heat level is?

#

but from what i saw they are pretty crap

cold pilot
#

lusty plume
#

gaunt portal
#

cold pilot
#

gaunt portal
#

impressive

lusty plume
#

i go mad hard lol

#

but yeah cops need to be buffed

cold pilot
#

definitely

#

no reason to stop racing in the game

#

even the helis are pushovers

gaunt portal
#

Is it because people complained in heat that they were too hard??

lusty plume
#

most likely yes

#

launch day heat cops were amazing i felt so much tension from the cops

gaunt portal
#

^^

lusty plume
#

like my heart was literally shaking

gaunt portal
#

i feared the cops

#

but i guess

#

they are kinda nerfed

lusty plume
#

its all skill issue from ppl who whined

gaunt portal
#

i say kinda

#

they are def nerfed

lusty plume
#

march update nerfed heat cops and they can still be tough but not as tough as launch day

gaunt portal
#

hopefully the cops are going to get a buff update

#

thats pretty scary if your evading heat 5 like its nothing

cold pilot
#

man, launch Heat cops

#

I miss them

gaunt portal
#

This

cold pilot
#

heat level 3 was a genuine risk

#

at early levels*

gaunt portal
#

Now we have peepeepoopoo nerf cops for people who cant cope

lusty plume
gaunt portal
#

I feared the cops at heat level 4

#

they were going properly ham

#

I hope they are better around in release day

lusty plume
gaunt portal
#

Now that i think about it

lusty plume
#

death was coming

gaunt portal
#

this police force acts like the one in Most Wanted

#

except they removed any tension or pressure

proper flicker
#

skill issue

#

maybe be less good and don't complaintrol

gaunt portal
#

Nah

lusty plume
gaunt portal
#

Im saying like

#

Unbound's and MW police force are suicidal

lusty plume
#

yeah

#

def see that

gaunt portal
#

they will ram into anything and kill themselfs lmfao

lusty plume
#

literally lol

proper flicker
#

honestly fpr an NFS game they're pretty good

#

if they're easy that's your own problem

#

MW05s cops are a piss take compared to Unbound and Heat

#

imo

lusty plume
#

for sure

gaunt portal
#

^

cold pilot
#

difference is it's been 17 years and this is a step backwards

gaunt portal
#

btw has anyone ran into Rhino's yet?

lusty plume
#

i just want hard police its so boring and not get scared

cold pilot
#

Heat was "too hard" I get that

#

but man

lusty plume
gaunt portal
#

HUH

lusty plume
#

the RAMs are the "rhinos"

gaunt portal
#

oh yeah

cold pilot
#

they should not be MW12 tier again

gaunt portal
#

they swaped em with the ford raptors

lusty plume
#

but they have a refuel mechanic like the choppers so eventually they stop chasing you

gaunt portal
#

how to get hard police tutorial!!1111

#

go slow

#

like 40 mph

#

=

#

hard cops

lusty plume
#

🤣

#

oh oh my b actually u have to go under 25mph for 2015 cops to chase u properly

gaunt portal
#

o h

lusty plume
#

40mph too fast for them yknow?

#

40 translates to 120mph

lusty plume
#

MWs cop chatter is better then unbounds

proper flicker
#

I'll accept that if you say Carbon instead trol

lusty plume
#

isnt carbon and mw cops basically the same SobbingAndCrying

cold pilot
#

on a technical level yes, they're basically the same

#

they're way improved though

#

and a voiceline level, I couldn't tell you

#

because I didn't listen to it in MW05

lusty plume
#

i rarely encountered them

cold pilot
#

being less prominent doesn't make them worse

lusty plume
cold pilot
#

tactics are better

#

the cop riding was reduced

#

just generally a fine tuned AI really

#

the map also works better with them imo, but I dislike rockport so could be bias

lusty plume
#

maybe i didnt notice

cold pilot
#

ssshhhh l

proper flicker
#

as a person who also dislikes Rockport, no it's not biased smh

gaunt portal
#

yes it is

#

they are the same with minor changes lmao

cold pilot
#

as I stated above

#

they are improved MW cops

#

I then states I felt the game map from Carbon also works better with the cop AI than rockport

#

that was a side point

stray glen
#

But fr, modern generation moans too much in games lol

#

I notice it's almost always the younger fans that whine about it

#

Older people usually grew up on harder games

good luck grinding cash with harder cops . Unbound is not heat where you can get money during the day repeating the same race over and over with no cops to bust you . Game is fine as it is just needs more content

gaunt portal
#

you know what

#

I now go back on this game

#

the cops are pretty intense actually

humble pewter
#

I think the cops are intentionnaly easier because they are just not an essential part of the game. You don't need heat to level up your rep.

#

Also remember that you make a lot less money in this game, and that you drive a lot more in the open world

#

i think intense cops would just make the game feel too long, if you were getting busted a lot

#

that and getting busted skips the session, so even less opportunities to make money

#

you could argue that it's a skill issue, and well i kinda agree, but i think they were scared of making the cops too hard
