With about seven days until Burnout Paradise's second update, codenamed Bogart, and just over a week since promising to transform the game's crash-centric Paradise City through a series of downloadable content updates, Criterion has announced that it is currently kicking the tires on three new FreeBurn game modes, adding online flavor to Stunt Run, Road Rage, and Marked Man.
According to Criterion, the online variants of both Stunt Run and Road Rage will support up to eight players at a time, while the number of drivers supported by Marked Man has not yet been specified. The trio of modes will be lumped in with the first of three previously announced expansion islands, codenamed "Cagney," and while no release date has been announced Criterion has confirmed that we can expect all three to pull up to the stoplight over "the next 12 months."

It's sad because quite honestly, that's the only reason why I thought that consoles were so cool compared to computers.

Actually, crash mode was pretty useful. After you got taken down or just crashed, you had an option to drift your pile of metal across the road, and could get an "Aftertouch Takedown" by drifting into other opponents. Or, after some time, you could use a Crashbreaker, which would cause your car to explode and could potentially take down nearby opponents. I loved using those tactics after just being taken down.
