    If Ubi could see how lucrative the "F2P" + "Map Editor" w/ microtrans (Outfits, Masks, etc) maybe they will lower the box price and do a round of marketing...

    It'd be a shame to let such a game-industry-changing, groundbreaking, forward-thinking, revolutionary idea / project / product go to waste.

    I can only imagine that these decisions will be made after the final release of the new DLC.

    I would hope that they have not already been made.

    At the very least, when the game is cheap I will be inviting my friends.

    Everyone I know who is down to check it out can't justify 60 bucks for a single-player game that they aren't interested in, just to play MP.

    And I agree with them.

    People buying the game for just MP when the price drops hit at least will have a massive amount of content to experience by that time. I'm almost a little jealous haha

    Hah, I'm the exact opposite - quite happy to buy the game at full price because the main single player game is so good (as all the FC games have been), plus I have zero interest in playing multi-player. Don't mind a bit of occasional co-op with my Brother but he's yet to get FC5 so at the moment that's academic. The Arcade is a fabulous bonus that effectively adds hours and hours of wonderful solo player DLC, as far as I'm concerned, as again I have no interest in playing nor creating multi-player maps. But each to their own, and all that.

    Well, we as the multiplayer community do. And it would be nice if Ubisoft showed us a little bit of love.

    There is an interesting limit to the editor and making it stand alone.

    Play GTA 5 on xbox 360 the nature textures are so bad lol they use like the picture image to simulate a store front but they took a picture of a hedge and put it on a square at Michael's house. on ps4 it's an actual model of a bush that moves with the wind.

    With the freedom of camera to explore all angles of the textures it editor has ruined playing a lot of games for me. I tried to play red dead undead zombie yesterday for the 10th time and the modeling is laughable the faces are on point in the cut scenes but the anatomy of charachter models is rag doll.

    then I tried to get back into the witcher 3 and it has limited camera control compared to explore mode in editor and I kept looking at the hills like we can make witcher maps in editor with the Far Cry Primal straw huts we just need monsters. And witcher doesn't have helicopters.

    God of War looks great but it doesn't have helicopters so I didn't buy it knowing I'd get bored of lack of map freedom and start thinking of making far cry GOW maps.

    So as stand alone kind of makes no sense graphics play out in 2 years they would have to keep creating solo game quality level assets for the editor which costs millions when they can just keep making new Far Cry and dropping updated editor.

    do you guys really want far cry 4 editor for 360 textures lol how would that work people still on ps3 don't get the ps4 updated assets?.

    so a 10 year stand alone editor is probably not realistic.

    "Hear, hear"

    Surely, SURELY, all game devs must have noticed how many pennies n pounds, that the business model that Fortnite uses as made...

    COD have gone for MP only game, with a battle royale mode thrown in.
    Battlefield have also jumped on the bandwagon.

    I personally, am not a fan of fortnite, nor am i a fan of MTX's. But lots of players do..thats a FACT...look at Fortnite!!!

    I think a stand-alone is a great idea for the FC franchise. Im not interested in SP in this game, only buy for MP PvP. So this game once again as disappointed me. The editor is ALWAYS great, and has got better and better!
    The MP on the other hand as gone the other direction....less players, less game modes, less vehicles, less, less, less lol

    Im of the belief now, that this Dunia engine is way outdated, its either that, or the devs are/grown incompetent at designing a quality MP game. Its probably a bit of both, and also corporate "big-wigs" not realising the potential of this game. Again only my opinion

    Overall. FC5 has taken a step in the right direction, even if its took them 10yrs!
    Thanks for the lobby browser, which works great, but is not perfect!
    I love the ability to add loadouts to the maps, and the ability to add sights to guns etc.
    The DLC objects are amazing!
    Generic shapes..wow..i mean this is EASILY my favorite thing to come out in this editor. If only we could texture more of them at once. Ive got literally about 5 incomplete maps, because i cant be bothered to "colour" them in lol

    Umm..sorry i think im going off topic here...so will stop.

    Please UBI, please make a Stand-alone free version of arcade (maybe FC6, the editor will obviously come with the SP game). Give us at least 8v8 competitive MP. Give us some more game-modes..just classic ones Respawning vehicles. No one-shot headshot kill.

    Youre killing us here...youre making it sooo difficult for me to get hyped anymore. But as a die-hard, passionate fan, i'll be awaiting FC6.

    Best of luck

    Never going to happen !
    And reason is simple, All game assets been used the same for single play as for Arcade mode
    Arcade mode would not be any smaller than the game it self.

    Have you ever seen separate Online part from the base game ? NO

    People been asking to make PVP Ghost recon Wildlands as stand alone,
    Ubisoft made it clear, that they will not going to do it !

    You wan to play online ? Pay full price for the game, do you want it or not, including single play content !!

    Yeah I mentioned before UBISOFT needs new game engine for FAR CRY 6 or next generation gaming. PS5 is like March 2021. The engine is so out dated its probably the reason for 6vs6. Also be cool to have destructible environment and pieces that break and fall to the ground and not float.

    Maybe Ubisoft will be willing to do it AFTER they milk the revenue.

    No reason to NOT make MORE MONEY after hitting your milestones, eh Production?

    I don't play much multiplayer but isn't For Honor MP stand alone like EA Star Wars?. Disney spent billions on the Star Wars character model assets and they get hate for pay to play.

    If they had an EA Star Wars stand alone with Far Cry GTA Uncharted solo story full game with the MP it would satisfy all of the players but that would take twice as long to make.

    GTA comes out every 5 years, fortnite graphics and animations are trash so not a good example for Far Cry to follow. far Cry has a brand following i got in with 3 loving the pirates yelling at Jason being scared. GTA most people loved freedom of driving any car while listening to the radio back when everyone wanted to be a DJ instead of today they want to youtube. Great solo games created a brand that most MP stand alone games lack.

    fortnite is only pop because kids can chat with their friends and they have access to a wild variety of character assets like easter bunny hats with dracula fangs, the art of the game makes me gag lol its minecraft quality of textures.
