Things I like:

- You can't get busted by the cops like in Need For Speed games.

- The cruise mode features free roam without objectives ruining the view, not that there is any pretty sights in MM2.

- Easily moddable, compared to games like Shift 2 Unleashed which requires the game files to be unpacked and third party software to enable the use of and manage them. With MM2 you can simply drop the .AR files into the game directory.

- The default cars, very simple models that have started a low-poly modelling trend in addon cars.

Things that I don't like:

- The reflections, they're not actual reflections, just a lifeless overlay texture that only moves when you turn the car.

- 16-bit color depth, it's really annoying because it makes textures and shading look posterized, ruining dashboards and making alpha textures look messed up.

- No shine on rims, fenders and breakables, it sucks because in MM1 the Panoz Roadster's fenders had reflections, but in MM2 they look like they were matte painted. You can't even make breakable chrome parts without sacrificing shine.

- No paint effects, I know MM2 wasn't made for high poly addon cars, but the inability to simulate pearlescent, metallic or gloss colors is disappointing, especially with tuner cars and TVRs.

- No graphics, even with 3-D acceleration and max graphics, MM2's detail has a lot to be desired, especially given that most of the buildings have only 10 faces. There is also no sun shadow.

- The Shadow object, very annoying, because it goes higher than the wheels during gameplay and it looks bad.

- No snow, originally in MM1, it was replaced by fog in MM2. There are snow mods but they will replace rain.

My favorite thing about MM?

-is when I get chased by over 20 cops (using Diatosta's .EXE mod)
-is when I crash into a lady's car she says "Ohhhh my car!!" :lol:
-is when the traffic cars follow you around instead of evading you like in MM1 :lol:

Actually Diatosta's EXE crashes after 10 cops, since nobody tests this kind of stuff, nobody knows, i'm a guy who tests the cops.

>everyone reports that cops work up to like 30 cops
>I myself have tested it, with only on very rare occasions the game getting unstable and/or crashing

And yet, you always bash on me for those exact same reasons? What the hell man. Like, if it doesn't work for you, cool, just do the old Cheat Engine way of enabling 3+ cops. But please, if everyone else's having fun, stop saying that it doesn't work, cause it is starting to get old pretty fast :/

And also, I just changed some jumps in the game's code. Now, if you want me to rewrite the cop AI section in assembly, sure, I might try it sometime in the future, but let it be known that I don't have patience, nor knowledge how to do so at the moment. If you want, do it yourself

Something might be wrong with AMD graphic cards, i think that explains why i have those limits.
I've tested a AMD R9 280, i got 24.4 Framerate Average with max graphics, there is a problem, it's because of new cards that don't support old games basically.


Back to topic:

- When cops disappear
- When cops fall out of map
- When cops are random cars instead of the same cop car.
- When cops chase opponents
- When cops are stronger than IRT Panoz.
- When cops explodes instantly by just touching their cars.
- When having a Car 1 million times better than the IRT Panoz.
- When cops loses its wheels and still moving around.
- When cops bounce.
- When cops go to the wrong way.
- When cops don't pursue you.
