Forza 3 Discussion...

There's matchmaking, then custom games, where you can set it up however you like, but it's friends only. I believe you can race against the AI too.

It also seems inconsistent to include class filters in only some of the race types. There is also no option to filter on assists. It's a free for all.

The current play lists are just downright horrible. I am not opposed to the idea but if you are going to uproot your entire community at least come out swinging a solid game.

Those play list sounds like they were composed by someone a half hour before they had to walk into their meeting and give a final presentation. While they were giving their presentation do you think the team that had spent all their time developing and testing a multitude of new killer online options was sitting across the table? "we've boiled your hard work down into five basic categories"

The idea that everyone is going to have 7 friends online to play private custom races is rather silly. Even with a huge friends list I can tell you a month from now, I might have 3-5 people online at any given time playing Forza 3. Just because they are playing doesn't mean they feel like an online race. I guess T10 is promoting invite spamming more than anything.

Spam all your friends, spam everyone on your recent played list, spam forums hoping to get 7 people to blindly join your custom room. Talk about a bad experience for casual new racers. At least with Forza 2 you could search/browse and have some idea of what custom race you were joining.

Really? BB will let you use pre-orders in that deal? Did you do it online or in store?

Just for Forza/other games that release during the week. I did it online.

I actually did build a PVC pipe platform that was low to the ground. I might still have the pic of it on my old laptop. It didn't take long to build but I don't know that I'd do it again. An idea I do have is to one day use my son's Little Tikes car bed for a new wheel setup. That way all of my boys could enjoy it.
