Need For Speed: Carbon Geometry finally Cracked.

Since the Release of Carbon in October of 2006, Carbon has been locked and virtually unmoddable. Finally after tirelessly working with the code, Dawid, known as NFSU360, solved the equation, and has the ability under his thumb for new user created cars to be imported into the game.

The Tool release date has yet to be announced, as well, the performance modding is yet unchanged, so for now, any cars imported would still use the original settings from the one it had replaced.

Carbon Modding news will be known when more proper detailed information becomes available from the original source.

There are only three source shots of this current NFS success.

EA has sent out surveys to those who had a chance to participate in the first North American Survey.

Please be thorough, detailed, and honest with your answers. Also, for Question 13, it would be appreciative if you could also include NFSCars.net as a source you learned about Need For Speed World. Once you have completed your survey it includes a confirmation to keep an eye on your email for the next beta testing period, which is still yet to be announced.

As an added bonus, for those who own Shift on the 360, watch the NeedForSpeed Twitter.
Ferrari Codes are being given away randomly for free to the first person who enters it into the game.

Thank you to all those who were accepted and had participated in the first North American / European Beta testing for World Online. It is recommended that you keep the files if you choose to continue participating in future tests. Any files will be updated as required when the next beta session is open, those files which will not be updated, won't be downloaded again, which should speed up the downloads as betas progress.

Currently the next testing session has not yet been announced, however as soon as the news crosses my desk, I'll be certain to share.

Also, if you're still interested in participating in a future beta testing, be sure to PM me with your email Address, unless you have done so already.

(I do not want duplicate emails from people who have already sent one)
