So, now that Ubi posted this video, we can talk a bit about the MP....
Ill just start by saying that, its not so bad. Yes its different than FC2, but there are some really neat things about it. I found it VERY fast paced, no down time between matches.
Trust me a few of us were VERY vocal and adamant they bring back a system like FC2 had. I said it all week long!
So trust me, I was representing the community well...lol
They took LOTS and LOTS of notes. There was LOT of meetings and discussions about lots of things.
But, as it stands currently, I see why they did what they did, and it IS a lot of fun. And you WILL get to play your maps, you just dont have a dictatorship of the matches. Its all about communicating with friends, asking them to vote on maps you want to playtest, or just play, etc. Its all very possible.
Was a great time there, they were very hospitable.
You guys will see, its not so bad, and you never know if more stuff is added or changed post launch. Im hoping so, but time will tell...
Is there anything else you can say? All I see is suck. The math doesn't add up. And WHY no dictatorship? I don't understand why developers insist on taking control away from players. I want to be excited so badly. The map editor is beautiful. But when I read about the lobby system still being nothing like FC2 I was legit near tears. This franchise means so much to me. What am I not seeing?
What are you not seeing? The game...you dont HAVE it yet, you cant JUDGE it.
And actually, it gives MORE control to teh players in general, just a little less in public lobbies.
Create a PRIVATE lobby, invite your friends, and its all good...play whatever maps you want.
In a private lobby, you can start a match with only 2 people too, so you can show your friends around, let them have a look, or just have a friendly 1 on 1 match.
Im curious, with all the complaining you do, do you make maps? on what platform? any vids of your maps? I genuinely want to see your maps. I dont see enough maps sadly. Not in the past few years.
I just don't understand why they're only giving us multi-player modes.
I remember going back to Far Cry 2, the developers actually stated they didn't give us very many modes because they didn't think the mapmaking community could handle more than a couple - and we actually had more MP modes back then.
Now they're only giving us bland DM and TDM, no objective modes like CTF, and completely ignoring the Battle Royale mode that seems to be currently popular.
Cool Id like to see themOriginally Posted by usmovers_02 Go to original post
I will definitely post the few I have pictures or video of. Hell I might even try joining a communityOriginally Posted by akilyoung Go to original post
Look, I have no issues with you or with anybody who is excited for this game and happy with the lobby system. I'm going to try but I really don't think this system has anything for me which is super super sad. That's why nearly all of my 700 posts are complaints. This is my number one MP franchise dating back to FCIP.
How can you say this is your number one MP franchise when all you do is complain about it? Listen to what you are saying. All you do is complain about it in almost every post. So it is clear this is NOT your number one MP Franchise. The only person who does not see that seems to be you. And all your complaining is F***ing annoying. Like a little baby who keeps nagging and screaming at his mothers leg. Be a man and stop complaining! Accept what you get and what you don't get or find another game that DOES suit your MP wishes. Now be a good boy, behave and do some thinking. Thank you!Originally Posted by usmovers_02 Go to original post
I think it's fair to have criticism. Personally, I've been part of the Far Cry community going back to the very first day that Far Cry Instincts was released on the original Xbox. We've watched the series continue to take two steps forward and one step back with every release.Originally Posted by emrdesign Go to original post
I agree that the continual complaining doesn't really help, but at the same time I can see where a lot of people are going to be disappointed. The editor itself looks amazing...but the multiplayer options and hosting, not quite as much. That said, I'm looking forward to seeing what we do get.
