Haven't kept up with this game, how do you get these halo codes?
You had to have played Halo 5 or the Master Chief Collection and you're supposed to get a message from Xbox with a code.

If you haven't played those games, there is going to be a Forzathon event soon after release that should make it easy to win the Warthog.

Cool, played both. Thanks my man.
 
Just pre-ordered my ultimate edition for store pick-up on Friday. It was only $80 with GCU so that made the price easier to swallow. I'm also a steelbook freak and this one looks sexy as shit. It'll look real good next to my Doom steelbook. So pumped to be getting this early!

I played both MCC and Halo 5 at launch and still haven't received my code. This is bullshit. The game is unlocking tomorrow.

It's out here in Australia in about 15 hours! Got tomorrow off to play.

Is there as many events in FH3 as there was in FH2? Or are they relying on people creating blueprint events to pad it out?

So with the blueprint thing you're not actually making the race tracks/courses yourself at all are you? You're just picking the pre-made track and choosing what class of cars, etc can run it? Booo.

I haven't been watching any of the reviews/videos because I want some of the environments to be a surprise so I haven't been able to get all the information on blueprints.

Just realized I made the bonehead move of preordering my UE copy on my brother's gamertag.

I know this shouldn't be an issue for DLC like the season pass/car packs but I'm not sure if VIP will transfer over to me when I play as well.

I'm gonna end up buying VIP aren't I lol

Can't you just contact support and get a refund then rebuy?

Speaking from my experience with Forza 6, VIP status doesn't share. The cars in the VIP pack will be shared, but not the earnings boost, gifted cars, little crown, and whatever else VIP gets.

Yeah, only the existing tracks. You can choose the weather, time of day, time progression, etc. Plus limit it to premade vehicle or create a class with a custom selection of vehicles.

It would've been awesome to create your own route but I can understand why it's not in there, there's only so much you can do in a 2 year dev time.
 
I can't seem to purchase Forza Horizon through the Microsoft store. It constantly says we are having technical difficulties. Is there a workaround or should I wait till tomorrow morning and hope this issue is resolved by then?

Was playing on my kids account this morning and she did get the vip bonuses. Wait on the vip before you spend the money. You won't lose out if you don't have it right away anyways.
 
Anyone here use the Elite Xbox controller with Forza? The wife just got me one for my birthday and I am looking for suggestions on how to best utilize it.

Thanks. It's always a possibility for FH4 at least and it seems like they're probably heading in that direction. It would've been damn cool if it was in this game though.

It was on the xbox. She got a level up wheel spin and the vip credit doubler was applied.

You're conveniently refusing to answer the questions that MATTER, the ones we all NEED TO KNOW about this.


So... did she get a little crown icon or not?

Gift cars too?!

Appreciate the info, was about to buy a code on Amazon.

Not sure on the cars. I'll have to check it later tonight. Playing Halo now.

I'm a horrible father. I didn't really check. I feel shame...

2014 Audi #45 Flying Lizard R8 LMS Ultra

I just use it like a regular controller, I've seen some people try to use the paddles to shift and say it doesnt fell right. The best part of teh controller for me on Forza is using the triggers I feel like a have way more control over the throttle and brakes especially since I never use ABS.

If you are interested in doing some games this weekend, give me a PM and I will try to get everyone together for some fun races/rallies. Just let me know when you are interested in playing and I will try to find a time that works for everyone.

Does it unlock at midnight for PC too?

I'm sure this has been asked a lot, apologies but I've been really sick irl and busy at work. If I want a digital code to get Play Anywhere, where are the best preorder deals currently, if any? Thanks in advance.
