The Halo Experience Showcase/Walkthrough: Difference between revisions

* Braking: ABS On

** It is not controlled simply with the left stick; right trigger (RT) must be held down to actually use the throttle. Left trigger (LT) activates the brakes and A activates the handbrake.

*** If the Braking setting is set to ABS Off, the brakes will lock if they are pressed too hard. Using this Braking setting correctly rewards the player with a faster race time.

** It is much faster, with a maximum speed of {{convert|192|km/h|mph|sp=us}}. In addition, it is more stable due to the lack of four-wheel steering.

** The camera view can actually be changed by pressing right bumper (RB). There are six available camera views: Chase Near, Chase Far, Cockpit, Driver, Hood, and Bumper. The right stick allows the player to look around.

** Pressing the right stick activates the car horn, which is always the one that the player currently uses. To change the car horn, go to a house or the Horizon Festival and change it there.

** Automatic shifting allows the player to view their minimap with the View button. With Manual shifting, the player must press X to shift down and B to shift up. The Manual w/ Clutch setting has the added requirement of pressing the clutch, mapped to left bumper (LB) by default, either at the same time as or immediately before pressing X or B. Note that this works best with a properly set up and calibrated steering wheel controller.

** Pressing Y rewinds the player back a certain distance. This is useful if the player accidentally misses a checkpoint or crashes into an obstacle. It is also entirely possible to disable Rewind through the Game Difficulty settings menu; doing so increases the player's total credits payout.

* As with every other race event in the ''Forza Horizon'' series, when played in Co-Op, the first player to finish starts a 30 second countdown as a warning to the remaining players to finish the event as quickly as possible or risk getting a DNF with reduced race rewards.

** However, activating Streamer Mode disables all radio stations except for Hospital Records.

* Any Car Mastery perks the player has applied onto their own M12S Warthog CST, regardless of how many copies of the M12S they own, do not apply to this event.

For this Showcase Event, you will be driving the M12S Warthog CST and following a [[D79-TC Pelican]] to a landing zone. As soon as the Showcase Event starts, you will immediately be driving and following the Pelican, which is chased by [[Type-54 Banshee|Banshees]]. Unlike in ''Halo'', the Banshees never attack and only act as moving props. Checkpoint 1 is {{convert|480|ft|m|sigfig=3}} ahead. Make a right and immediately turn back to the left, but make sure to watch out for [[Covenant]] scenery props ([[Covenant supply case|supply cases]] and [[Covenant portable shield|stationary shield generators]]), as well as the race barriers. Unlike the race barriers used in other events, these race barriers are actually indestructible solid objects and made out of [[hard light]]. Checkpoint 2 is immediately ahead. Feel free to take in the beautiful scenery (including the [[Halo Array|Halo ring]] in the background), but focus on reaching the checkpoint up ahead, which leads to a ramp that will lead you to Bamburgh Castle. Make sure to have at least {{convert|140|km/h|mph|sp=us}} of speed upon approaching it to clear the gap. Note that missing a checkpoint triggers a five second warning to rewind; if this warning is ignored, you will be reset back a bit.

Jump the ramp to trigger the last slow-motion cutscene in which two Banshees fly through. At this point, you are actually jumping over the Pelican, but only for a very brief period of time. Once you land, you will get an "Ultimate Air" skill with a trade off of a loss of speed, which should be more than enough for you to avoid immediately crashing into the hard light barriers in front of you. Note that the Pelican can be touched, like with all other opponent vehicles featured in the other Showcase Events, so try not to touch it or you will lose too much speed. Continue following the path until you reach a small valley of rocks that leads to the beach south of Elmsdon-on-Sea.
