Anyone who sees this and thinks Forza 6 would be better with the ability to create your own public multiplayer lobby (like in Forza 4) than it would be without it it, please reply saying you agree.
IMO, multiplayer in Forza has been on the decline since F5 decided to go with hoppers only, and truly hit rock bottom (at least I hope it can’t get worse) when someone, somewhere, had the horrible idea not to include lobbies or even hoppers at all in Forza Horizon 2. I haven’t wanted to play FH2 much at all since completing single player, as apprised to FH1 occupying my time for a year through the legs of its multiplayer, and I’d hate to see the same thing happen in Forza 6.
I’m a huge fan of the Forza games and hope they’ll continue to lead the pack in their greatness, but that will be hard to do if they keep on cutting back on the multiplayer options since multiplayer is what really gives a racing game longevity. With Project Cars releasing before F6 and already confirmed to have custom lobbies, it would be a shame if Forza’s current lack of multiplayer options cause the franchise to take a backseat to another one.
Since asking repeatedly for the addition of custom lobbies after F5 released and again in FH2 after its release showed that those requests fall of deaf ears and are never even acknowledged, I hope the petition may act as a preemptive strike to the developers minds if they are indeed planning to make F6 without custom public lobbies or, God forbid, no lobbies at all as in FH2.
Thanks for listening and if you feel the same please reply saying so.
