    Online play

    I have played far cry 4 and primal and they were great in my opinion. I never checked out the online play with those games so I was curious is it worth playing far cry online at all? I'm hoping so for far cry 5 so that once I finish the game that there is still more exciting stuff to do with it.

    You can co-op online. That's all we know for now.

    When you say online do you mean only the Campaign or would you play levels created by Ubisoft and the Far Cry Community for 1-2 players or up to 12 players via multiplayer ?
    Unsure if you were aware but Far Cry has a level editor where people create levels (we call them maps) so you can place A.I. enemies and animals in them and have modes where you turn off alarms, get to the extraction point or eliminate everyone on the maps solo or with a friend, every map is different some use vehicles - with Far Cry 4 we could place weapons in the map.

    With PvP you would be killing other players online, just wondered if you would try that kind of thing - if you find some good map makers whose level styles you like then it's limitless as you simply download them and play so adds extra playability to the whole package.

    Just anything really. Was basically asking what was on older far cry games online wise that might be a indication of what is to come for the new one

    Well the original on PC back in 2004 that was multiplayer, I missed it as I was on console, Heard it was a crazy fun game with mods and stuff.

    The Instincts series 2005-2006 on Xbox and Xbox 360 was also online multiplayer up to 16 players (for me that had the best game modes of all the Far Cry games and was most fun)
    Far Cry 2 was multiplayer up to 16 players with good game modes but was a slower pace online, the campaign although very dated had really good fire spreading and was a gritty at game with weapons jamming and degrading had some good stuff.

    Far Cry 3 for me had an excellent campaign but was more arcade in style compared to FC2, they introduced more vehicles and weapons and the world was more accessible, FC3 had some excellent missions and was very colorful - Online had 4 player coop over missions created by Ubisoft that had mini games attached, and in places there were other mini games where you could beat scores of people on your friends list. It had 14 player PvP on Console and 18 players on PC - no vehicles in multiplayer (FC3 multiplayer was quite buggy and not well received)

    So with Far Cry 4 that was the first time people could play coop in campaign, Far Cry 5's will be better as you can go into missions together where FC4 wouldn't allow that.

    Yes you can play them in coop, but only host will be getting all progress and perks.
