Community Update with EA Torque

Submitted by Andrew Collins on Thu, 2009-09-24 10:50

What's goin' on NFS world? Torque here and I'm bringing you the latest and greatest in the NFS community right here on the Community Update!

NFS Undercover Community Days
Since Undercover Community Day discussion is still soaring, and it seems my forum statement was quite a bit misunderstood, I though I'd take a minute to clue everyone in and properly inform you of what is actually going on with this unlockable.

Community Days were NOT turned off forever. There, everyone can breathe again! In fact, the real situation has been just the opposite. For Undercover, and only Undercover, the Community Day has been switch to “On” indefinitely. This means then whenever you race in an online match, it will count as a Community Day.

If your one of those awesome folks who just so happens to have linked their gamertag to their EA Nation Persona, then you my friend will unlock a coveted achievement (or trophy): Active Community Member.

Moderator Woes
Speaking of coveted achievements... The Moderator challenge. Since I've made my combat battling it out against the NFS community on Carbon (and Pro Street occasionally), it seems as there's just a small degree of confusion. You see, I'm not planning on getting on Carbon (or Pro Street) constantly. Just random weekend days. There's actually quite a few games I like playing so I try to enjoy those as well.

What time am I on? Well, there's never really a set time. I get when I can, or when I say to myself, “Well, time to go win every race on Carbon (or Pro Street)!” Lulz! Seriously though, it's never a set time. I try to spread things out, so that people who reside in time zones vastly different to my own can have their chance as well.

Just be patient, relax and shoot me a message or a friend request. As soon as I can, I'll hit you up for some good old fashioned racin' action! Don't feel bad when I keep winning though. No, really. I'm not planning on losing any. :D

Community Video Highlight Reel
This week in the highlight reel, we're going back to the good old Carbon days once again. I'll be showing off a video from SupRfirebird who shows us what it is truly like to run a perfect lap at a rather popular circuit in the title. Condo Row. SupRfirebird posts a staggering 1 minute 58 second lap time with his Chevrolet Corvette Z06 on the Palmont City street course. Incredible driving my friend! Welcome to the highlight reel!

For this week of course! Still to come in the nearby future, Retrospective part II, a sweet interview with the mastermind behind NFSUnlimited.net, Bojan Puschner and perhaps some more about the monster that is NFS Shift? More then likely! Thanks for dropping by and readin! See ya!
