You could be coming down with a virus

Post by Bojan »

Virus pandemic is coming down to Need for Speed Carbon for Xbox 360 this weekend which means you will finally be able to get those achievements unlocked. The Knockout Fever, Canyon Craze, Pursuit Pandemic and The Carbon Plague viruses will be transmitted by playing versus affected players.

There are a few achievements where you have to race certain players that have a "virus". This virus isn't bad and won't hurt anything. Its just some little thing EA decided to add.

In order to get these viruses, and unlock the achievement, you have to race these players. I'm not sure if you have tow in, but you have to race them to become "infected". I'm not sure if this is strictly Xbox Live or not, but thats the scoop. :)

I have seen the picture of the "Virus" vinyls in OXM (Official Xbox Magazine).


And Driv2Slow, It's good. You get more vinyls....and maybe more.

oh, i get it! by "virus" they mean the Chemical theme body vinyl I found in the game. although there are many other "hidden" vinyls that i don't have a name for them, but I'd like to see how can the player select it after unlock them.

No, by virus they mean it's a 'virus' you as an online player can catch from another infected player, just by racing against them. Then, when you race other players, they catch the virus too, and so it spreads. The only effect they have is to unlock some reward card achievements.

Its just a ploy for people to play online because some people try to get all of the achievements without having fun...

AIDS...

Do the Red thing.

Buy a Red Motorola Phone or Ipod and help fight AIDS in Africa.

Catch a Virus.

Wow EA, perfect timing.
