Predator was IMO the best Far Cry MP experience ever, great game modes and a lot of fun, fast paced with vehicles that handled better and 12 of thm in a map, would love to see a HD Remake on newer consoles with cross platform play or at the worst FCIP BC on XB1 - Hope it happens.
Just having the ability to stream/record clips of FCIP without a capture card would add hundreds of hours to the game for me. The community and custom maps kept this game alive a lot longer than it would have otherwise. The only disappointing part was not having a feature to search for custom maps without using a 3rd party website. Adding the other games would be good too, but FCIP is where all my friends will be.
Ubisoft CEO, Yves Guillemot, is happy with the recent announcement by Microsoft that backwards compatibility will be coming to the Xbox One. He states that the ability to play Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One is “very good news.”
“It’s good news for gamers that Microsoft was able to work on the compatibility aspect. They expect to come with 100 titles quite quickly, so that’s really good news. It will help some of the brands, like Splinter Cell for us, to come to Xbox One, which is great.”
Backwards compatibility will be a big boost for video game companies. It will help increase the sales of some of the older titles not available for the current generation of consoles. People will want to buy these older titles as they can now play them on their new console. Companies like Ubisoft are realizing this and embracing the change.
The backwards compatibility feature is currently available only to members of Xbox One’s Preview Program. It will be coming to all Xbox One users this Holiday season.

I did tweet Alex Hutchinson with this question - "Can you see any of the old Far Cry games becoming backwards compatible on Xbox 1 ? or a Far Cry Instincts Predator HD version"
The answer back was "I would assume 3, 4 and Blood Dragon would make it over at some point."
Our problem Bob is there are not enough numbers shouting out for the title, I would love to see FCIP and FC2 both backwards compatible on XB1 - that would be great fun going back to Pred and playing online with the old faces I used to hang out with all those years ago.
There was also this info regarding BC on XB1
The announcement of Xbox One becoming backward compatible with Xbox 360 games was certainly one of the more exciting ones at this years E3, and arguably the highlight of Microsoft‘s press briefing. Alas, unfortunately the likelihood is that not all Xbox 360 games will be playable. Speaking to OXM, Microsfot Corporate VP Kudo Tsunoda explains why.
“So, we’ll start with 100 titles this autumn, and we’ll be adding titles as time goes by. At some point we’re going to need to get – obviously – the permission of the owners of the content, the publishers and the developers. So 100% is always a hard thing to achieve in anything. There’s a possibility for some outliers, but we’re really going to work on getting the biggest catalogue of games on any platform onto Xbox One via not only our exclusive blockbuster titles that we’re delivering this fall, but also our indie games plus backward compatibility. Again, that’s just enormous value for gamers.”Potentially one of the reasons why it could be so difficult to get permission from the appropriate parties to have their games on Xbox One would be because many publishers or developers from the seventh generation of consoles are now defunct. For instance, it’s not been made clear if any THQ games will be available on the Xbox One. Time will tell.

Updated: Complete List of 60 Xbox 360 Titles with Xbox One Backwards Compatibility
Information verified correct on August 7th, 2015 One of the surprise announcements of E3 2015 was backwards compatibility for the Xbox One, launching in November for free. But what Xbox 360 games will actually work on the next-gen console?
Backwards compatibility will allow Xbox 360 games to work on an Xbox One console and to use new features such as Game DVR, Snap, Twitch streaming and screenshots grabbing. All your previous save files, DLC add-ons and achievements will carry across, and if you are playing an Xbox 360 game on your Xbox One, you will still be able to cross-play with friends using their Xbox 360. All future games released on the Xbox 360, and any games provided for the Xbox 360 for free through the Gold Live service, will all be backwards compatible by default, too. It’s all pretty tidy!
Sadly, not all Xbox 360 games will be able to take advantage of the feature as there is some investment required to getting an Xbox 360 game working on Xbox One architecture. It is expected that over time, three or four hundred of the bigger titles from the previous generation of consoles will be integrated into the program, but at launch we can expect around 100. What will they be? Is your library of available Xbox One games set to leap by one or two, or many more?
Very slowly the list of compatible titles is starting to emerge and we will continually update this list as each is revealed. Bookmark the page and comeback regularly to see if your favourite game has been selected, so it can transcend from your pile of shame to its rightful place in an Xbox disc drive.

Now as the Wild expedition has the original Far Cry game from PC as well as FC2 / FC3 & FC3 Blood Dragon I would expct that all those will get the BC Treatment at some point.
But that is what we are after also - Far Cry Instincts Predator
In my opinion it has the best multiplayer modes of all the Far Cry games, it is faster paced, more vehicles and a lot more fun where multiplayer is concerned, the editor is very basic now and it could be difficult going back to it but having all those multiplayer maps and been able to play them again would be an absolute blast.
Make it happen UBI.
I love the story's they produce and I have a vary high opinion of every thing they do and create for all the world it see. Brilliant game. I personal thought the game story was better in far cry 3. Just not feeling it in 4. As far as the Multi player, lost a heavy amount of interest in playing the MP. I just don't see the point. Id rather play Halo.
Far Cry 2 won me over as far as the best game I've ever played. I am sorry, the best game I have every played. UT was there but it got killed when it went to 360. Far Cry MP gave us something eles that no other game out there had for years and still dose. I really hope they just remaster it and pop it on Xbox One. I think that's all people want. When it comes to the MP part of it. We live for custom maps and the worlds people create from around the planet. People are awesome and you took that human element away from us.
We just want to get back to it. I don't want to complain but..... I have to Because I have such love for the story of this game and the playable content; in Far Cry 2. The whole game was one big fantastic piece of artwork. I did not discover the MP until two years later after its release date...... and when I did. It changed my life for years. It brought me back to playing on my 120" project screen during campaign days, as I was immersed in this lush world. I Remember feeling like I had really explored Africa in real life. I started playing MP and saw all those who built maps and themes..... It was such a great Experience. I was truly in awe by it all. I made my own maps and felt great when people started playing them.
Then I saw my true talent as an artist editing other peoples maps and making them have the spark. The one where you say, wow; this looks amazing !
Something I have not told you, I am handicap. Missing my left hand. It has always been hard for for me to play games. The struggle was truly real as they say. So I found my place helping shape great MP levels, matches and most of all,; experiences that would last past the short lived hype of CoD, as they come out with a game every 6 months. Thats all gone now. I feel like there is this hole, sadness that I am powerless to do any thing about. Every one that I played with from around the world is just gone. Far Cry game meant something, let me be a part of something bigger then myself. Showed me that I have this talent locked away for creation. I felt sooooo good just watching people have fun. I got more enjoyment out of that then I ever let on.
Just writing this is hard with my condition, I spent a lot of time taking the time to do this. With out being hateful of disrespectful. Please, if anything. Just remaster the Far Cry 2 MP side and let us enjoy it once again.
There's so much more to my far cry 2 experience then I can writ here. Just know that one single feature, MP dedicated servers with a nice list of playable matches people from around the world hosted, was a life changer for me. In short, you caused me to make a custom controller that I could use just to play with my friends in England on your game.
