    Xbox Lobbies are a DISASTER!

    Am I the only person in this entire group that feels like we were set up to fail once again? Why is it so hard to implement an age old system that started over 20 years ago? Why can't we just have what we have asked for over the last 10 years! It's a simple solution, it's a simple way to make EVERYONE happy! There was a Lobby system that made people happy, and it was an EASY system. Why UBI, WHY keep trying to reinvent the wheel? Why can't you just give the general populous what they've asked for over the last 10 years? It's an easy call! And it's an easy and age old system. MAKE IT RIGHT!

    Last Far Cry Im getting unless its fixed before I finish single player and get a refund.
    And just a quick one to the super hardcore Far Cry fan's who will tell me "You don't get it for multiplayer/map editor, it's for single player", you evidently didn't play FC 1 or 2

    I havent even played it but from what I have read on these forums and every other review, I concur, and for that exact reason I will not be buying this game.

    Ubisoft you have just lost $80 CAD I know its not a lot of money, but I am sure I am not the only one that is taking there money somewhere else. Maybe Ill buy my fiance dinner.

    Aside from the ranting, what exactly is the problem?
    I'm enjoying the SP campaign on Xbox so haven't tried the MP aspects yet...

    On Far Cry 2, a host could host their own Public lobby with map playlists of their choosing (be it custom made maps, or maps Ubi/other people created). People could search through public sessions, see snapshots of the current hosted maps and join whichever game they wanted to.

    On FC5 its a official public lobby you join full of randoms, and you get to vote on the next map. Trouble is half of them look good on the snapshot but when the map loads in, it looks like a 3 year old built it. Or also the map host can choose crazy modifiers and loadouts (crazy jump height, infinite ammo etc) furthermore if the host gives the player all 3 explosives in quantities of 3, then a single person can throw 9 explosives in 5 seconds. Multiply this with a 12 player lobby and it sounds like the map is being hit by an AC130. This is not uncommon, but more importantly, this is the official ubisoft playlist

    Yeah this hasn't changed much since the first few Far Crys. I think the playerbase actually is a bunch of 3 year olds generally speaking based on the terrible maps I've seen over the years.

    Dude... Chill out and actually read a few topics first, particularly in the map editor forum. The terrible lobby system is practically all anybody is talking about regarding PvP
