    Multiplayer Free to Play and cosmetics purchases

    Hello, I'm a fan of the first day of Far Cry, it's very simple I got them all.
    What makes me love this license is mainly the map editor which is just incredible!
    There is so much possibility that only our imagination can really limit us.

    Unfortunately the previous opus clearly tainted the Multiplayer, therefore despite a remarkable work! and a map editor with little oignions,
    the multi remains bland and uncrowded. A shame because there is so much to see and do with this tool. (last addition !!! possibility to make script ect ... <3).
    My last hope would be that it offers in some months free publisher and / or multi and that they are profitable with cosmetics as do others.
    In this way I think they could clearly fill the servers and promote the tools / Arcade.

    do not hesitate to give your opinion

    Cordially. Popey

    I agree with this aswell. With the MP player count being so low as it is now. Making the Arcade Free-To-Play would be a great idea. Maybe increase the item cost for the free to play players substantially. They might get intrigued into making their own maps but for that they will have to purchase the full game which I believe can be picked up for $30 (New!) in some places like Amazon Prime.

    For awhile now,I have been thinking that this is easily the best idea to revive the multiplayer and spur in new players. I would be surprised if Ubisoft has not considered this option. I wouldn't be surprised if the Arcade was designed in development to be a potential free spin-off. I think the only question is when. Clearly you want to wait for a slow period when big blockbusters are not being released every week (aka not this autumn).

    Agreed. Making arcade free to play would be awesome! Then with more costumes to buy it can sustain costs for servers and maybe 5-7 crew of people to sustain content and maybe fix a few issues with MP. Ubi has nothing to lose with this, even though it may require some manhours to detach from campaign and set its own price. They could make it a special licensed version that locks main game, editor and DLC and let you play sp and mp arcade. For Honor did it for a limited time and boosted its player base greatly.
