This game has the worst multiplayer, and I’m thinking this will be all we get from Ubisoft. I get the Duke Nukem vibe for the Arcade, but in 1996, Duke Nukem 3D was better multiplayer than this! I thought I’d just give the game to my 10 year old grandson and he may enjoy the campaign, but the language is not appropriate for a 10 year old and there is no way to select different dialogue. That seems strange, because every part of this game is designed for 10 year old kids except the theme and dialogue! When in multiplayer, I understand the idea to put names over the heads of the team mates, but of the enemy! At least on your other releases, there was enough forethought to make characters noticeably different and no need to make the enemy so easy to spot.
It just needs some proper maps for grown-ups. Maps with good flow, balance, realistic looking. Maybe give it some time for Ubi to choose some proper maps for it, I know they are all tosh at the minute, but Ubi have their own professional level-designers choosing the levels now so we can expect some levels on par with other AAA titles that some of the best player map-makers of all time have been making for years, maps better than any dev.
Once they recognise this fact we might see some proper maps.
Yes it is just run and gun. I understand that many like this option and that’s OK, but the previous releases in the Far Cry franchise gave so much more.Originally Posted by IDF777 Go to original post
For many years now there has been this stigma of anyone hiding out with a sniper rifle...labeled a camper. I’m cool with that...and I’ll setup camp and love the idea of haveing a few choice places to hide and snipe the areas of interest such as a flag or in FC4 the tower switch and love it when they can’t find me. Now that Ubi has added a visual indication of where the enemy is when shooting, that way of playing is now dead.
The quick game play on FC5 multiplayer eliminates scoping out any good places anyway and sniper rifles do not have the distance or accuracy as FC4. There’s even a multiplayer map called “sniper” and it ends without a kill because sniper rifles are lame in FC5.
The other option that no longer works is release the wing suite into a run. Now you have to go to the parachute or you die when you land.
I really don’t see Ubi fixing the multiplayer into the style I like to play. I always felt it was a shame they never offered custom maps for multiplayer in FC4 or offer new maps.
