NFS:MW...cheating

[Jez]

Hey ho...what a fine start to the year !

So, I set up an on-line sprint race.

And we have a few races....then some guy joins...loses twice,

Then types in...'I've just reported you to EA for cheating, have a nice
day.' and left the room !

Urm....I don't cheat, never seen the point, however, how does EA deal with
such things ?

Should I just ignore the jerk, or do I get a warning or somesuch from EA ?

Maybe no big deal, but a tad annoying to be called a cheat, then the guy
just disapears without waiting for comments from the others in the room.

Huh !

Don't worry, just a loser.

Huh !

He just sounds like a punk who can't take losing. I knew a guy similar to
that once. If he won in a game (any game), he would always think of it as a
legitimate win - but if you won (especially more than once) then he would
automatically suspect some sort of cheating going on.

If you weren't cheating, then there's nothing to worry about. Don't worry,
there's a lot of people out there who think they're better than what they
really are.

Problem is with NFS:MW is that online everyone plays the BMW M3 which if you
haven't finished the game yet and/or haven't downloaded a profile that has
it, you're screwed. I was frustrated because I got so far as to buy the
Porsche Carrera GT which is a kick-ass top notch car but the BMW smokes it
in online. What's the point in winning/buying cars if they're no good
online?

Yeah that kinda sucks.

I thought there was a BMW M3 bonus car, it has the same performance.

Well, nothing seems to have happened, so I guess, 'Ignore it', was about the
best advice !

Ho hum.......
