pleas remove the flag check points or make a option to turn them off is so enoying if i just slip out side one of them ruins enitre game first place is directly impossible and no i dont like using rewind cant rewind real life either
pleas do something about these freaking checkpoints it ruins the entire game. the game begins to frustrate me its not even fun to play anymore. or atleast make it a instant respawn on checkpoint because that timer is so god dam slow the rest of the racers already past finish wil my counter is stil counting to respawn me 
i alwasy enjoyed playing forza but this might be the first edition that gives me stress
Check Points have always been in Horizon. Think of it like a coloring book… you have to stay within the lines.

The “track” has to be defined somehow and going off track needs to have consequences. What do you propose as an alternative to a flag? Whatever it is you will still have to follow the course somehow.

If there were no checkpoints then why would anyone stick to the course? Just drive in a straight line to the finish

Will be interesting to see if that’s even possible with the Route Creator. Just make a start and finish line on either side of the map and see which path the AI takes to get there. Haha.
I have a feeling you’ll be required to have a checkpoint after a certain distance from the last one, but idk.
youre describing freeroam rush. its not as fun as it sounds

Sounds freakin hillarious right? But we have that as a race, it’s called freeroam rush. lmao
I totally get having the checkpoints but they are a bit harsh sometimes. The amount of times I’ve literally clipped the flag and it’s reset me is frustrating and then when it resets you it’s not like it makes it so you can go back and get the checkpoint, it seams to just send you full pelt in to a wall
My issue is that when checkpoints are close togther, if you miss one, it respawns you just in front of the next one. Then tells you that you have missed again. I have had a few races where I have needed to reverse from the rspawn point to hit the checkpoint…only realising this is the case after a couple of failed attempts driving straight throufh the one in front of me thereby leaving me miles behind with no real point to carrying on. I agree that checkpoints are necessary but the respawn logic in this game is rubbish.
Looks like someone just wants to play freeroam rush

Checkpoints are required. But it would be great if they would fix the rewind feature. Every time you rewind it resets you at a position in which it is impossible to pass the checkpoint. Only thing you can do is wait for the timer to run to zero so the game resets you. Most likely no matter what way you choose you can forget the race.
Seems like you don’t realize you can keep pressing rewind. If you don’t like where it placed you after one rewind, keep rewinding. I play without it as I find it more of a challenge to get the checkpoints, though it is a pain at times. The reset process can take a bit and so ruins my chances of winning - usually I’ll start the race over.

they can also make it so that if u go outside of the checkpoint you get like 250 less per missed checkpoint or make it respawn instant. car has to accelerate anyway so delay should be fair enouch
Or you could just learn not to cut corners. Sorry, but that’s really the only way here.

You wanna know why this would be terrible?
You already have guys ramming their own team out of checkpoints, now you wanna give them the power to auto-fail their whole team?
Nah, just learn how to play the game, checkpoints aren’t changing.

For me… as many times as I have been pushed out of a checkpoint by an actual person or by AI, there have been many times I thought I had missed one, let off the gas, to only find out that the game thought I made it in. For me, if I miss checkpoints it is usually because I have an overpowered car for the race and/or I just don’t know the route like I should… And if you are just playing against AI during the campaign/regular season, use rewinds (once or twice or 3+ times till it takes you far enough back to take the corner correctly. The idea of there is not rewinds in real life, is funny to me, since there are no resets in real life either.
Checkpoints are a completely necessary if imperfect solution to the problem of “in an open environment where you can go just about anywhere, how do you make a race track to ensure that competitors are following the intended course, and not just cutting corners?”
And the game is somewhat forgiving if you just barely miss the flag.
