Brainstorm time! I need your help!!
As a real dedicated Far Cry mapper and PvP fan, playing the franchise since FC2.
I am still really gutted about last week’s news of - NO extra GAMEMODES -
IMO this was the sound of the “last-round-bell” for the PvP of FC5.
The PvP numbers were already dropping fast last few months, but after this news the game will become the mapper-only niche game even faster.
This really really pains me because of the unused potential that is left behind. Again!
Because the same happened with FC4. But this time we got editor to dream off we cannot use to the max. This game has everything in it to be very good PvP game. A rival to many other games out there. But not without more gamemodes.
So HOW do we change the minds of the FC5 devs?
BRAINSTORM TIME!
- We can ask for extra tools in Arcade editor to create our own gamemodes? (already done by some)
- Do we rally enough support to get heard? (youtubers, gamewebsites, community)
- Should Ubi make this a paid DLC, which we pre-order? (and at certain number they actually develop it)
- Ask Ubi we can MOD the game, so outside assistance to create gamemodes?
Or do we accept it, knowing in few months time only handful of mappers stay?
There is still time, but not much, we need to try something!
What do you guys think?
We need to speak up for this to work.
You do realize they are Canadian once i found this out i figure it must be a cultural thing to take a crap on something you worked so hard to screw up and ignore the public.
I see them as Terrence and Phillip on south park saying maybe we should fart on are game instead of talking to community. I am ubi-phillip i made a poop haha real funny terrence. The community wants basic stuff and they have gotten there money and they are trying to get dlc out quick so they can work on a new game otherwise they would be men an answer people who pay there wages. No lets go fart around all day playing far cry and streaming it.I
They say they cant make new game modes why dont they start with updating new feature maps but i dont think they know how to do that. Why feature 2 or 3 maps there should be all new features every week.

The only way to break this cycle is by voting with your wallet.
This game has infinite potential, and I am NOT willing to shell out money again for another FC game due to the currently perceived way the Devs handle this game... 0 interest in communication or community.
If any of you experienced in the past with other Far Cry titles, coming back was insane of you...
REGARDLESS... We can pick up the slack. Make this into something that CANNOT be discarded. It is basically already there, just need some more love for the editor & game modes.
Eager to see the next update.
NOT the next game, cause I'm not buying it.
I was wondering about the answer to your question, though.
CHECK OUT:
FREEWAY HDZ1 [PC]
You can add Zombies to your maps...

And add zombie animals or Alien Arachnids.
If this is the closest thing to getting a new game mode...Have at it!
It's so clear that they are actually hate PvP multiplayer. We can clearly see how they refused things to make great for PvP. Hardly, we acquired Public Lobby.(only the best part was)
Now, they lowered budget or changed some objects to physhics that is making PvP Multiplayer maps are harder to create. 'cause detailed maps are need more dedication and budget space. But there is more budget space for solo/coops than PvP Multiplayer.
Btw, there is a lot of sci-fi map assets now. Which is not require general details on maps. You can create sci-fi maps with low budget. That's possible but not identical for diffirent style maps.
Btw, I remember "the Division" most of the people wanted to play PVE in Darkzone and wanted it turn into PvP off zone but UBISOFT didn't do it! In Farcry history there was best times for PvP like back then in FC, FC2 and FC3. But now we see they are avoiding PvP priority. That's mean, what's UBISOFT doing is opposite of community.
But, I hope they do better things for PvP and make me wrong!
I agree that the Ubisoft devs that determine where the Far Cry franchise is going do NOT love PvP. This is shown again.
Knowing this, no surprise both parts with excellent PvP were NOT made by Ubisoft (FC1 & 2).
But there is nothing wrong with not having PvP in a game!
As long as you know this BEFORE you buy the game as a consumer. When buying for instance "Lara Craft or Assassins Creed" you know 100% in advance that it is single player game.
But FC had good PvP multiple times in the past, and their Arcade Trailer from FC5 was brilliant marketing!!
This fooled many gamers into believing that FC5 would have awesome PvP (judging from the marketing talk and the extensive editor).
Wrong!
It looks this was lure and decoy to have as many consumer as possible to buy their game
You could say it’s just excellent marketing, because they sold more the ever before. Money money.
But in my book (as most PvP fans feel) this is just plain wrong. You should know in advance what you are getting. So when 95% of focus is on PvE (both ingame as editor) you should know this.
I am still huge fan of the series, but this part I really hate how these gaming companies operate.
When FC6 hits just say clear and simple : sorry people no PvP in this one. Just be straight about it.
(btw I dont mean the Ubi forum guys, but the Ubi big shots (Dan Hay etc.) who call the show)
