There were plenty who loved my Drivatar amirite?And, yes, all the training you’ve done for your Forza Motorsport 5 Drivatar will translate right over to Forza Horizon 2.
The improvements to the online experience aren’t exclusively technical, though. The Horizon 2 team has also gone back to the drawing board on clubs, which now allow you to create clubs of up to 1000 players, and has introduced what it calls Car Meets.
“It’s really inspired by what happens in the real world,” explains Fulton. “You can take your car to a Car Meet and enter an online hangout, basically, where you can hang-out, you can socialise, you can meet new people, you can chat.”
In a Car Meet you can show off your own custom designs or tunes, or browse those of others. Players can grab liveries, tunes, or even entire cars from each other within Car Meets (for which they’ll be compensated). Beyond that, Car Meets also serve as a place to party up with other players or, better yet, wait for friends to come online. Unlike a static lobby, in Car Meets you can trigger quick Showdown Races against other players within the Car Meet. At the conclusion of a Showdown Race you’ll be returned directly to the Car Meet. It means if you’re planning an online session with several mates, but a few of them are late, you can kill time with quick-fire races from within a Car Meet rather than stare gormlessly at an online spreadsheet of Gamertags.
