I know these points have been beaten like a dead horse by the community already, but I'm gunna beat it some more because Ubisoft has stopped listening to us after Far Cry 2 came out and all of the members of the old community are jaded and mistrusting of the dev team. So here I am, laying out some facts.
1. I for one, and most likely most of the community veterans as well, will not pre-order the game unless multiplayer support is announced and it is confirmed that we can create multiplayer maps. Personally, I wont even bother buying the game if there is no multiplayer map editor because that is the sole reason I even became a fan of Far Cry in the first place.
2. A lobby system similar to Far Cry 2 is absolutely imperative for multiplayer to succeed in the slightest, and not burn out a month or two after release. I encourage the devs to pop in an old copy of far cry 2 and check it out, and see that there is STILL to this day, an active multiplayer community.
3. At least 4 multiplayer modes, featuring at least 14 players online. Bonus points if the multiplayer modes can be customized like Halo 3/4/5 Custom games. Examples of popular game modes, capture the flag/sample/diamond, predator, deathmatch/team deathmatch, survival/team survival, domination/zone control, king of the hill, search and destroy, the list goes on and on...
4. See 1 and 2.
5. See 1 and 2 again.
Campaign has been solid the last few games, so im not too concerned there honestly. The campaign in FC3 was f'n fantastic, at least the first half. What I cant seem to understand is why they continually butcher multiplayer over and over again. Please ubisoft, I know you read through the forums regularly, address us as to why you seem to avoid addressing anything about multiplayer and map editor over and over again. You purposely mislead and betrayed the community with Far Cry 4, a slight ALL of us remember, and it appears you seem to be headed down the same path again with Far Cry 5. We can all see it, were not stupid, like it appears you think we are. So please, give us the respect we deserve and stop misleading us and treating us like children.
Rant over.
