I decided to reinstall #Wreckfest again (uninstalled to stop the Tournament FOMO) and it seems like multiplayer is just like real banger racing now.
I've seen or been part of small wrecks, head-hunting and driving backwards and targeting anyone coming.
I think it's cool, even if I'm being targeted - I'm not sure everyone playing does, but maybe so if this is what the multiplayer scene now is.
I mention it as the second game (if ever actually released) is meant to have a specific mode, and I just don't see them doing with AI anything other than 'folkrace' like it is in the original.
Maybe they'll make it clear in multiplayer at least, so people don't rage or vote-kick those who decide or simply want to do that.
