    If I could just add a suggestion for the lobby browser.

    Please show the game mode (DM or TDM). Some people prefer DM, others prefer TDM.

    This would be extremely useful down the road if and when new game modes are added

    I don't think it will work Brim as people will be swapping modes all the time depending on what map they pick so you could look and it might say TDM then the next map could be DM

    Ubisoft we are kind of having A new issue. Having map picking, Arcade Hero ,and the new lobby browser is not going to work . It is splitting the gamers up . Here is my point ...... if people need the featured trophy they can just host the maps now, or get friends to host them . No need for map picking lobby, Arcade hero any longer. Not enough gamers to support both .

    The point in having the lobby browser is to get rid of the other.

    Surely you didn't spend all this time on this project for it to be dead , and no one using it.

    Another issue is private lobbies . I Seen 9 or 10 rooms locked with only 3 to 4 players in them. Look at all the players that could be playing publicly. Private lobbies should be taken out , Or Able the host to switch room private in order to test or show off to A friend, and it should be hidden , and not seen in the lobby browser.

    I am so grateful for the lobby browser , but unless you shut down the map picking lobby, and Arcade Hero this is not going to work


    Trust us ubisoft top rated , featured, and new maps will get played in the lobby browser.

    Please get rid of map picking lobby, and Arcade Hero , so the players will move over to the lobby browser.

    Thank you

    What? That's a terrible idea. Why shouldn't other players be allowed to play or test exclusively with their friends or specific players? Hiding a private lobby won't help anything, because whether or not it's visible, those without the password won't be able to join it. Custom lobbies are great, and brings back a similar system to what we had in Far Cry 2, which was what many people in the Far Cry Arcade community wanted.

    If anything, the Arcade Hero playlist (specifically talking PC) should be removed because as far as I can tell, the population of PC Arcade Hero is almost always zero.

    Yes , and I am one of the people who had been fighting for this for many years now . I Know it is great! All I am saying is private lobbies should be hidden... also Suggested Lobby , and Arcade Hero should be removed.

    They choose to keep it that way I am good with that, but as of right now the Lobby Browser has very low numbers.

    Would it not make more sense keeping the gamers coming to one place instead of three? Right?

    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

    Here is what I would LOVE:
    1) Last man standing / Team Last Man standing modes added (No Respawns)

    2) spectator cam added for these modes so players who die can watch until conclusion of match.

    3) Remove spotting mechanic from this mode

    4) added circle mechanic so we can create proper Battle Royale maps within LMS/TLMS modes if needed (give map creators 10 nodes that they can place on the map. This will be the center of the circle and will be randomly chosen once match starts. Use the newly added damage region to hurt players outside circle. Let map creator determine how long between circle transitions, how fast circle moves, damage to player "in the blue", etc.

    5) allow map creators to place weapon pickups on map that include attachments (scopes, extended clips, silencers, etc.)

    6) Once these changes have been implemented run a map jam for LMS/TLMS/Battle Royale maps so you can get an influx of high quality maps highlighting these modes.


    These changes would breath new life into the multiplayer and would make for great exposure of the FC Arcade by streamers as well. "Unlimited battle Royale maps" sells itself, even with 12 players. And I personally feel like Socom/RB6 Siege maps would play great in FC5. FC5 already plays fast and frantic, would be awesome to slow it up, make it more tactical.

    Please help make this happen!

    Thank you for your answer!
    Yes, A separate button or tab that takes you directly to your favorite map,

    OR even better: make a "favorite map" shortcut in the and pause menu (the menu when we play and we hit "escape" button on pc)
    Like that we can play many many maps we picked on the arcade website quickly.

    I agree arcade heroes and suggested map lobbies should be removed. It makes the create a lobby section kinda dead. Yesterday I seen 6 lobbies. Most mainly 1 or 2 players and private. One at the top had 9 people and was nuke town. So either people not in the mood to sit and wait to populate the server browser lobbies and only want the quick match or word hasn't gotten around yet about hosting lobbies. Or the community dwindled that fast in 3 months.

    Yesterday was first day for the update. But on XBOX1 between 1pm and 2PM mountain time it was kinda dead. Hopefully this weekend its heavily populated. Like I said before. Game should of been delayed till November with server browser and hosting day 1. 3 plus months and change went by and most of the community vanished. Yeah a chance some return once they hear the good news of finally get to host a lobby and play your own maps.

    Ubisoft Devs. I would like to point out two more problems with the Lobby Browser.......

    Keeping A lobby open when the Original Host leaves A Match. This is A huge Problem!!!

    Because it causes A bunch of open lobbies sitting around empty waiting to be repopulated. While the same 2 or 3 lobbies staying full. Did I just say 2 or 3 lobbies? Yes I did......

    The other problem no option to quick join A Match. The reason for this feature is to help Repopulate Rooms with less players

    Some gamers don't want to browse , and just join quickly .

    So when you add the gamers that are forced to leave to the Gamers that quick join equals more full rooms.

    This is what made the FC2 Lobby Browser so successful

    You guys see what is happening....

    Another thing that needs to be addressed. When you first create your own lobby The Mics. Don't work So...... You can't even ask gamers to invite people, or tell them to be very patient because Ubisoft made rooms stay open so it may take A few hours to get started.

    The browser is pointless without it. Especially when their are more gamers still Playing in suggested Lobbies.

    I am just asking you guys to be fair for everyone, and not just to the same 2 or 3 player lobbies that do fill up ......

    Thank you

    I have a suggestion I’d like to share as there’s been one thing bothering me...



    These empty boxes should be used in someway. My idea is...
    1) Allow host to give permission for other players to pick a map. (up to 4 additional players)
    2) Let host pick 5 different map
    .

    Add a way to start the game with the traditional voting process if any of these options are added, but don’t take out a way to force start a map. Also if possible, the players with permission to pick a map should persist throughout games.
