    If you are looking for new modes Ubisoft then race mode quickplay should be made. All race mode is a journey mode with more players.

    They might be able to do it because we can heal our team mate in 2 player coop so looks like the motion capture has been done, that said for me it was something that never worked in PvP with FC2 and FC3.

    I came from the Far Cry Instincts games and there was no healing, with FC2 and FC3 the number of times I saw players get killed while healing other players I lost count, the issue is that when you go to heal you then go into an animated sequence and you can not snap out of it so can't break from healing to defend if required.

    It happened to me too many times so in the end I only healed people if there was cover or another player to defend me, also I lost count of the number of times that I would be laid waiting on the floor to be healed and others ran past and left me there

    Dying is one point to the enemy but also that extra time you lay there waiting you are out of play so in that time you might get kills or could get killed again.
    I think if they added it then the player been healed must be able to defend the player who is healing them even if it means using only small arms.

    Its a love hate thing some will like healing and some won't, as a modifier it could be confusing as one map might have it and another not so if it ever happened it should be all in.

    Awesome stuff! Very happy to see this change be made. FC5's multiplayer has a lot of potential and this is a major step toward keeping this game popular.

    Not to be greedy, but here's a list of other things I hope we see over time:

    Multiplayer Modes: Capture the Flag, Predator
    Editor: Team "climbable surfaces" toggle for some map layouts where climbing ruins the concept (towns, urban areas)
    Editor: Vehicle respawn timers

    There is a reason why this guy has been on my ignore list for months. It's hard to suggest you do the same being a community manager, but there you have it. The guy moans about everything and is never happy.

    Where were you end of FAR CRY2? Everyone wanted them lobbies. FAR CRY 3 we had a choice of 1 map private hosting. If we wanted a different map everyone had to leave and make a new lobby and resend invites. You know that was horrible and lame. Sick joke really. Public was gold, silver, and bronze maps lobbies.

    Still hardly a chance to get to play our own maps on them. FAR CRY 4 was a slap in the face yet again when UBISOFT didn't even have the multiplayer map editor. Then long before March 27 2018 we didn't want random pick 3 then vote for maps. We didn't ask for 6vs6. We also said DM,TDM wouldn't fly either. Heck that video of the bald UBISOFT guy talking with some game reporter then he asked him game modes.

    The bald guy said TDM,DM. The game reporter was like oh. I knew as well it was a bit lite. Sad to say but FAR CRY 2 was better like over a decade ago. FAR CRY 3,FAR CRY4,FAR CRY5 been a joke. Yeah today ya finally redeemed yourselves and gave us this update. Besides I bet server counts are way down now. Game been out since March 27. Game will have to go on sale for 50% to 60% off pretty soon to repopulate the servers. These lobbies be a ghost town in the Fall. Book it.

    Also a suggested FAR CRY 2 remake was mentioned quite a few times in these forums through the years after UBISOFT botched FAR CRY 3 and FAR CRY 4. We even mentioned it yet again here with the random pick 3 sick joke for FAR CRY 5. Also reason we suggested "remake" was more less we wanted the server browser and option to host our own maps in public. Curious how many customers flocked away from this game since March 27.

    Still even with server browser and hosting. Still need new game modes and respawning vehicles. Also 6vs6 is very lite. If the FAR CRY engine cant handle anything more then 6vs6. Ya better get making a new engine long before FAR CRY 6.

    Very great news about the Lobby system. I did not mind people picking their maps in private PVP lobbies, But when it switch to some other map that they didn't pick, was very annoying. If the lobby host can just pick the maps than it would be less annoying. Or I hope Ubisoft fixes this glitch where the map that gets picked switches at the last minute to some other map.

    First of all: Thank you for the fantastic update, we really needed it.

    Now a small critic
    I've noticed one issue (at least for me): When I create a public lobby, if I have to leave it for some reason, obviously someone else becomes the host: and this is good. What's not good is that there is no way for me to join again the lobby and take back control: at the end of the day I created and named it, so I should be able to take back control of it in some way. What about a sort of "creator password" to join a public lobby the user created, which would give control back to the original owner if he/she joins back?

    Just a suggestion...

    Again ,thanks for the much awaited update!

    It potentially might not be needed. It's something to think about and watch closer. If it's something that can be easily adjusted and a quality of life feature that the community REALLY want its something that could possibly happen.



    So would you envision this as say a separate button or tab that takes you directly to your favourite maps?




    1 - Any specific modes? So far Capture the flag and Domination modes seem the most popular
    2 - Certainly a popular request, we can push for this to be looked into
    3 - Any suggested changes like specific hitbox size hincreaces/decreases? Damage output % increases?
    4 - Can pass on this feedback
    5 - More specifics please
    6 - Any suggestions on what rank rewards and at what rank?
    7 - I'm sure they exist, not sure how much we can show or how to show it
    8 - May not be possible but feedback is appreciated

    Absolutely!

    Regarding modes- My biggest push it do be able to better utilize the size of the overal playing field. Donination and Capture the Flag are excellent staples of course. Even sometime like King of the Hill / Headquarters is great.

    Some if the more modern modes in shooters include a linear Objective mode like Overwatch, where the team has to be on the objective for it to move forward. Smaller encounters perpetually moving forward along a larger map.

    More hardcore modes like Ubisofts very own Rainbow Six Siege. No respawns to force more tactical play, and more deliberate map creation.

    Predator mode. PREDATOR MODE!

    A Race mode would be great too. Our very own Dapper Hayden already made a beautiful track in the IGE.

    Speaking of Siege, would love to have IGE assets from that game.

    And really, a mode where we can create our OWN modes through modifiers, etc wohld be excellent!

    Not many people hosting public lobbies. The fullest server was 9 people. I joined and they picked nuketown so I left. Rest of the servers only got like 1 or 2 people in them. Also lousy pings in most of the servers. I'll have to refresh and see if anything changed. I was gonna host but probably stuck sitting there a hour to have one or two people join in. Besides Idont have many maps book marked cause there's no telly what maps are good going off the old way of playing in the random pick 3 lobbies playing same 3 or 4 maps over and over. Probably have to browse maps and look at each picture.

    A historic day for the fc community, since fc2 we can play our maps in public ! Thank you ubisoft.

    Hadnt had a blast like this since a long time. Only playing my friends and my own maps.

    About playlist of maps, think how its now is perfect. The host needs to play as well . With playlist you get some absent hosts with several servers taking all the traffic and the others stand on the side line. This is most fair, i think.

    Thanks ubisoft, you made my day !
