BURNOUT PARADISE CAGNEY UPDATE AVAILABLE
Well the 3rd update in the Burnout: Paradise series is here. The Cagney update has already been unveiled for PS3 fans in Japan (9th July) and is now available to the rest of us in Europe, Asia and the United States. The update features totally revamped modes and add-ons including “3 new online game modes, special calendar events, new cars, 70 multi-part, timed Freeburn Challenges and a wealth of improvements to the existing game”.
It should be noted that the Ranked Racing Leaderboard will be reset. Some of the reasons for the reset board include:
- Removal of custom drives and more focus on action of the 40 Paradise Drives
- Racing traffic in on-only mode
- If you disconnect, You will be rated as finishing last
- Hosts will be unable to kick players
Some other notes to take note of:
Quote:
“If you’re ranked racing in Burnout Paradise without the Cagney update, you won’t be able to earn points towards the old or new Leaderboards just yet.
We’ve taken a snapshot of the Leaderboards, and imposed penalties on players who we’ve deemed to have used exploits. The penalties are outlined here:
- Any players using second accounts for race fixing (deliberately losing to other players to boost their points) will have their points reset to 0!
- Any player who has gained points from race fixing (winning against another player who has deliberately lost) will have their points halved!
- Any player with more than 15% disconnect rate will lose the disconnect % of their total points!
The decision to penalise a player will only be made if we are 100% sure they’ve been using these exploits. We’ve created a Hall of Fame for our top racers and will post this on the site soon. There’s also a reward for the top 10 players on the board.”
