In short: one big lobby where you can see players on the entire map, instead FH5’s of a fractured lobby system that means you can’t have fun with randoms without having to play convoys
In FH4 you could open up a map and see a group of players in your lobby doing something on the other side of the map, teleport to them and just join them
In FH5 you can’t see such groups because you see only nearby players
More than that, if you do happen to start doing something with a random there’s a big chance he’ll just disappear once you cross the “mini-lobby border”
It makes the open world feel hollow
The number one biggest con of the last two Forza Horizon games is the online server, where players pop up and disappear in and out of your proximity. Not to mention everyone turning into ghost mode when you drive near them.
Forza Horizon 3 hit it’s peak, mainly due to the different server lobbies. It was so much more interactive. You could see where everyone was around the map, join them and have a blast. Even to this day, this still occurs on FH3.
This needs to return to FH6. The game will quickly die after a year otherwise.
Agreed, FH5 has felt dead since Day 1.
Whereas FH4 is still very lively and has loads of players on the map who I can actually find & hang with.
I ran both games simultaneously & took a screenshot of both, it speaks for itself.
