So many are pissed of about this, They get a season pass so they can have cheaper dlc only to hear that the first DLC will be free....Sure if you don't buy the DLC you can't use the maps in horde, don't get the weapon skins (that are not that special anyway) and three character skins that most would not use anyway because the game is already loaded with characters... Great for the ones who didn't bought the DLC but for the ones who did it feels a bit like a rip off because 90% of the players love the game for the MP and not for horde.... Their are ofcourse a few idiots who would trade it in for Forza 4... =p

Shush you :P  

 

Is anyone sure this DLC counts as one of the 4?

Yes otherwise you can not download it for free with the season pass (got it for free for pre ordering the game) =)

Edit: Also got the forza wheel?  Was tempted (considering it was only 10 Euro extra if I wanted it).  Forza 4 is fun until the A.I. gets that good that I am having trouble with it..

No I haven't gotten a wheel. I think I got scammed or something because it never came in the mail. I'm almost done with the 6th season of play and I can still beat the AI pretty easily. If you have the right car then it's very simple most of the time, Also playing on manual helps alot because you can get better track times and brake later than the racing line says since downshifting helps to brake the car. I pretty much always get ahead of the AI before the end of the 1st lap.

Oh BTW do you know why you get a penalty for drafting behind another car or another car is drafting behind you?

Drafting increases your speed, especially on straightaways, and thus it can be argued, artificially inflates your lap times, certainly to much quicker ones if you hadn't drafted at all.

Well I guess the adaptive A.I. is doing me some harm.  Never lost a race and I guess the game is trying to do everything to let me lose the race.  I am in the season after Master.  Really miss the new York track and the game really could use more tracks....i am tired of the announcer going on  'Now we are going back to Spain...now we are going back Germany....now back to UK...Aargh  =p.....Anyway I am level 36 and let it rest...The next days are for Geow 3 :).

That's rather silly since everyone can draft. And it's especially annoying when I'm doing a perfect lap and all of a sudden I see the penalty marker start flashing because the AI is drafting behind me. I like to have at least 1 clean lap per race so I can get in the top 15% of the leaderboards, and that drafting penalty is lame as hell especially when it's not my fault that the AI are drafting behind me and there's nothing I can do about it.

I don't miss the New York Track from F3 but the really long version from Forza 2 was awesome. And yeah I really really wish they had more tracks to race on.
