A few questions for the Rivals community...
This is just for nostalgia's sake, and to bring the community together :D

What is your favourite car?
For Racer, mine is the Ferrari F12. Very tanky, very fast.
For Police, i like using the Lamborghini Aventador. It's fast, hits like a truck, also very tanky.

What is your favourite Faction? Police or Racer?
For me, i like using Racer more than Police, i love the chaotic bs the game tries to throw at me.

What is your favourite pursuit tech combo for each Faction?
I like using the ESF, EMP or Spikes for Police. With the Aventador, the ESF will two shot any racer i come across. Very fun to use imo.
For Racer, i like using the Shockwave, Jammer or Turbo. Makes it easy to get out of tough situations and get away quickly with little to no problems. If im feeling brave, i use the ESF and EMP for "less persuasive" actions.

Give me your thoughts and opinions, any memories you have of playing this game is also appreciated, this is a safe space for everyone :)

I played this game on my old PS3 when i was 16. I picked it back up after getting it on my PC and got back into it really quickly, the nostalgia of this game really hit me. I love this game so much!

played it on my friend's PS3 back then, something in this game hooked me and i love it, sadly i couldn't afford a PS3 let alone a PC to play the game myself.

now that i finally have everything i can't afford back then. i really need to replay this game for nostalgia sake, did a little tweaks to gain more fps and double the resolution scale, this game looks way better than i remembered, feels like a remastered version.

favorite car as a racer is P1, mainly because it was easy to handle and accelerates quick. i much like this game as a racer. police gameplay was good though all of em police liveries n shi didn't suit me much. always uses ESF and shockwave cuz IMO those combo was more useful than the rest.

Favorite car:
Base game:
• For racing: Pagani Huayra for its top speed.
• For combat: Ferrari F12
• For chasing: Lamborghini Aventador and Bugatti Veyron
• For dogfights: Lamborghini Aventador [ENF] and Bugatti Veyron [ENF]

With DLCs:
• Before Rank 21: Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
• After Rank 21 and for racing: Koenigsegg One:1. Also, the most frequently misspelled Western carmaker in the world.

Preferred faction:
Prefer police, mainly due to their durability even for the undercover variants (least durable of the three). Also, fellow officers helping is greatly appreciated.

Tech Combo:
• Racer: Turbo + Jammer. My strat is to keep the speed up. The only practical way to escape Heat Level 10 without getting murdered.
• Police: Roadblock + Helicopter. Essentially, the counter of my racer strat. Level 4 Roadblocks have two layers and are all cars, rendering them unjammable. They also do not have cooldown, and when dispatch denies our request, it will be refunded. Helicopters can still catch AI racers that went outside your visual range.
• Interceptor: ESF + Shockwave/Shock Ram. The fastest way to complete such event is to wreck the opponent.

Memories:
Not applicable, as I was relatively new.
