Good news for xbox mappers, far cry 2 which is backwards compatible will be free with gold on xbox jan 16th 2019. that's millions of xboxers that could download and play the multiplayer on xbox one. far cry 2 is about to get a big revival on xbox. i will be hosting a dedicated server. i wash my hands of fc5 and any future fc with an editor because of how ubisoft dumped the community to put resources into new dawn, new dawn will have very poor sales from pushing this garbage SJW nonsense. all i will say is look at EA's share price after that bfv SJW farce. they paid a heavy price and so will ubisoft, and it will be well deserved.
I have waited since 2015 for fc3 to go free with gold. I dont have as many maps with fc2, but it is still great this game will get new life. rather play fc2 over fc5 anytime. What a pile of sh*t games have turned into from greed fueled corporations choosing sleazy hype marketing and pushing gambling boxes on younger audiences instead of building a loyal fanbase to support and grow thier company. Now ubi's dying a slow death for thier short sighted actions. Just felt like ranting. this board is as dead as fc2 at this point anyway. Time to move on to other games worth our time i guess *cough*dreams*cough*.
Ubi are still there. I think maybe Ubi are just considering which way to go.
I would love to see something a little bit retro - maybe like an SCP story continuation, hopefully not all corridors, but corridors, a huge facility, things to pick up like key cards. It could all be done in the Far Cry style now. Even post-apocalyptic. A whole story. There are now gerzillions of enemies, arachnids, zombies, just build a game with a thousand different enemies (ma ny SCPs) and a huge facility.
I logged into FC2 about a year ago and saw some of my old maps were still saved in the system. not all but some.sadly i have changed my account since then so i would need to recreate some of the maps if i wanted to start playing FC2 again. How has the turnout been for online for FC2? if it is making a comeback and you guys are getting full matches count me in! The FC5 arcade had lots of potential but we all know how that ended.
FAR CRY 2 was glorious for its time. But the character movement is clunky and motion blur and the muddy brown looking stuff got old when it first went backward compatible. That day it was dead. Maybe being free it might make a couple full lobbies for a week or so. But since my paypal got deleted from a dashboard update on XBOX1 I can no longer click the free 360 games. Also don't remember my old paypal account to get into it to re-add it for XBOX1. But I barely play any of them any way. Waste of time now. Also the map editor had that bug where when you save something the ground is messed up and didn't look like that when had it in the editor before saving it. Only after publishing it the map gets weird sometimes.
Mp is still running it's just zero players at the moment, that will change on the 16th for sure.Originally Posted by GlitchedGex Go to original post
