    I have had allot of problems with the framerate dropping ALLOT since i got it today I can't say for certain but i would guess it drops below 20 sometimes i hate it, it's still playable, but i mean it's really at the brink. I hope they update this ive seen that not everyone seems to have this issue it seems to be a 50/50 problem where 50% has it & 50% don't... Otherwise its a good game but the framerate is NEVER at 30 for me its allways under that, when it's at its best it might be at 25

    Fix keyboard control mappings for PC.
    -Fix it so that Parachute/Wing/Hang Glide use your mapped movement keys.
    -Fix it so that Enter can be mapped
    -Fix it so that a mapped from default to another key is used in all situations.

    eg: early mission with Denis where your told to get out of the car using your mapped key, but only E key works.
    -Add in game menu key mapping options for all available keys that can be used in the game.
    eg: Save/Load (F9/F11), Handbook (F4), Skills (F2), Crafting (F1), Backpack (F3) and the many other keys that are just not in the menu but can be used in the game.
    Hell I didn't even realize that these items are available via a key, offer the user to be able to map them, then at least they'd know the key was there.
    Only way I found out was by dissecting the game files.
    I shouldn't have to resort to using 3rd party hacks and tampering with files just to get the controls to work the way I like when on a PC with 100+ keys to use.

    FC3 might have been an almost perfect game if it were not for the horrendous HUD and 'hand-holding' throughout the game. Here's a few questions I'd like answers to:

    1. When I climb into a jeep with a mounted gun, why did you think it would be necessary to remind me that I can use the gun by pressing A, everytime I move my head?
    2. When on the handglider, why do I need to be told that holding X will release me, everytime I look down?
    3. Why do you remind me what my current objective is, every 60 seconds?
    4. Why are there silly noises when I've skinned an animal, picked a plant or looted a pirate's corpse?
    5. Why can't I holster my weapon?
    6. Why is there no gear change/shift stick animation in vehicles? (other than that, I have to say the vehicles handle wonderfully. The feeling of immersion as I'm slowly negotiating rocks and boulders is the best I've ever known, and the way he criss-crosses his hands on the wheel adds to this perfectly - gives a real feeling of off-roading)
    7. Why do I need a little icon to tell me I'm crouching? I KNOW I'm crouching cos I just, uum, crouched.
    8. Why do I need an ammo count icon? I'll know when my weapon is out of ammo cos it will stop firing.
    9. Why do I need to be told to 'Press A' everytime I come to a section that can be climbed? Just tell me once and I promise I'll remember.
    10. Why is there no prone option?

    Almost all of the above could be fixed with an option to disable ALL the HUD elements and pop-ups, and I urge Ubisoft to make the forthcoming patch available for the console.

    * Just to make it clear, there has - as far as I'm aware - been no official confirmation either way, but someone on here recently said that Ubi have already stated the patch may not be made available for the console.
    Why do you ask *edit*

    Fire arrows not starting fires.

    I know this has been mentioned but I believe it's extremely important to make sure it's a known fact that fire arrows are broken.

    It's their one purpose to start fires and they don't. I've tested shooting all kinds of surfaces, you name it, I've shot it (foliage, npc's, vehicles, fabric, buildings, wood, grass, etc.).

    Upon impact the fire arrow makes a small fireball and then immediately fizzles out causing zero fires.

    I use the bow as a main weapon and love it to death. I would love to use fire arrows as intended. Please consider fixing this.

    Amazing game otherwise.

    My ideas for DLC/patches:
    Guns: G-36 AR, Sig P-226 pistol, Silenced Shotgun (There was one in FC2), Crossbow (So you can use arrows, but minus the arrow drop) M-32 Grenade launcher (Also in FC2)
    Attachments: Laser Sight (I like to turn off the reticule, and having a laser would be helpful for hip-firing, especially on pistols. Also, enemy snipers have lasers, so why can't we?)
    Underbarrel Grenade Launcher (When you have the weapon equipped, pressing R2 would fire the grenade from the launcher, instead of Jason throwing it)
    Bayonet (Clicking R3 would stab forward with the bayonet. You'd still takedown enemies with your machete, but otherwise you'd use the bayonet)
    Machetes: The one from FC2, the stone dagger you find via the story, switchblade, combat knife.

    NEW GAME+. Seriously. I want play again with all my guns/attachments unlocked. Skills would be good too, but I think just guns/attachment would be fine.
    Outpost defense: Have enemies attack your captured outposts every once in a while. They did it in Assassin's Creed: Revelations, but it didn't really fit. I think it would fit here more. It would also give more stuff to do post-story.
    DLC Missions. The stuff with Hurk was pretty good, how bout more with him? Or even other people would be great.

    Also, guns shouldn't be free after you do radio towers. I think a 25-50% discount would be better. You can earn enough money in-game so guns don't need to be free. And how would shopkeeps make a profit if they give all their products away?

    I have a few key suggestions...



    INFAMOUS difficulty added...what this would entail is:
    -Mini Map removed from the game
    -Pirates and Privateer health increased a little bit, weapon accuracy improved
    -Animals do more damage (namely the shark and crocodile, tigers and bears as well...those are the big 4)
    -Bodies/loot boxes/flowers no longer glow gold
    -Significantly less money found in the world, loot is OK, but the pure "cash" found is too abundant
    -No free weapons give whatsoever. None. Force players to pick up weapons.
    -One time weapon deals. Example...buy an MP5...drop it on a mission...you have to purchase it again (maybe at discounted price)
    -XP points needed to level up increased
    -Enemy detection meter either REMOVED, or it remains while enemies detect you at a faster rate (small time to react)
    -Not sure if this can be done...but this would be icing on the cake, though it is needed. Enemies re-take outposts. As is now, you basically have an empty world.

    I would absolutely LOVE that...even if I have to pay for it, I will.

    I also have a weapon pack DLC idea...one weapon per class, essentially...
    HANDGUN - I don't even know to be honest...we have the desert eagle, .44, Makarov and 1911..all the classics..
    A. RIFLE - G3a3 - One of the most common AR's in human history, has been used all over and dates back to WW2.
    SMG - Micro Uzi - Come on...we need a gun like this so bad..
    SNIPER - Tranquilizer Dart Rifle - I guess this is more "special", but what the hell. It fires darts that temp. knock enemies out for like 15 seconds. Long reload+bolt action
    SHOTGUN - Remington 1740 (double barrel) - Yeah enough said....
    LMG - MG42 - Ridiculous LMG that forever changed the future of these weapons
    LAUNCHER - M79 Thumper - Why this wasn't in the game over the GL94 is beyond me..this is the skilled mans explosive weapon of choice
    SPECIAL - Harpoon Gun - Kill in style from the water...and hunt sea life..and also usable on land. Just give it more "drop" than the recurve bow.
    SIGNATURE - Elgin Cutlass Pistol - Pretty badass..old, lever action pistol with a knife built right in. Oh the possibilities...
    EXPLOSIVE - No.74 sticky grenade - Another WW2 classic...toss and it attached to surfaces. Long fuse, but oh...oh the possibilities..
    MELEE - SpyderCO Warrior Knife - Just google this thing...if their wasn't reason enough to stab people, this just makes it even better.

    That's my main request. Obviously we would all love single player DLC missions (explanation of what REALLY happened to Vaas...?....an even deeper expansion of "Testing Unit", Lost Expedition missions?). I think that would be neat...I love the cave/tomb exploring, I think that is phenomenal and could be entertaining if mixed with some more dangerous scenarios...and obviously more Vaas would be great.
