I wont bother complaining about servers ect as i'm sure ubisoft will fix that due to the number of complaints already. what i do what to talk about is how ubisoft could improve the gameplay.
my first suggestion is to add vehicles to multiplayer.
everyone i know is asking for vehicles back in multiplayer however i do believe that by taking cars, gliders and boats out of multi-player that ubisoft has created faster and more intense gameplay than what i played on Far Cry 2. I do however think that non-ranked games should have vehicles in as it adds a whole new dimension to the gameand will make player matches more fun, while pure skill is required for ranked matches.
My second suggestion is to allow Player Created Co-op Missions.
The addition of AI into map editor is amazing and everyone review i have read agrees. it allows the user to create a million different missions for us to play. the only disappointment is that when you have all these cool mission who can you share the fun with. allowing a 4 player co-op mission maker will be so much fun and willl give infinite missions to people who have completed the campaigns.
My third suggestion is PvP mini games
I really enjoyed the mini games in single player, things such as poker and racing.
i would love to play against my friends behind a wheel or at a hand of cards.
why on earth you wouldn't include these gems in multiplayer i dont know but maybe it would be a great addition for DLC
My fourth suggestion is a online Hunter mode
at the moment there's no real unique pvp modes. i feel a hunter mode where players need to race against each other to kill animals and keep hold of there skins while also fighting each other would be great. kind of a capture the flag but with animal skins as flags and 3 flags rather than 1. longer you hold the skins more point for your team until a time limit or point limit.
As of right now, multiplayer is absolutely broken.
I had so much fun in Far Cry 2 creating my own maps and hosting my own lobbies and playlists with my friends. Playing around in escape maps, race maps, and so on allowed for an unlimited re playability value. My friends and I went on to create Cops and Robbers maps and other custom game modes which were very fun. We can do none of this now... So much creativity has been deprived from this game for these reasons:
1) Matchmaking instead of player servers.
This means we don't know what maps we are going to play. When I went into my first created player map game we were spawning surrounded by enemies and getting killed. I kept trying to search for different maps and it kept putting me into this same match. Let me remind you this monstrosity of a map was under the SILVER maps playlist... What a shame. Matchmaking also makes it impossible to play with friends for there is no party system. Hosting your own maps is also impossible, this matchmaking system makes creating new maps pointless because no one will ever be able to play them... We need the lobby system from FC2 back into FC3. I feel this was a serious step backwards in Far Cry MP.
2) Vehicles, AI, ammo, or place-able weapons invalidate your player made maps.
This caused an immense sense of frustration for me. I had spent a very long time, hours on end, creating this map. It was a large scale battle map involving paragliders, quads, and utilized rivers for player transportation. Finally I was done and ready to export it only to realize it was invalid... Surely this couldn't be I thought... but of course, I was severely let down by my very own favorite franchise... The fact that these aspects of the game were removed from multiplayer seriously limit the scope of this game. There is so much that your player base could create with these aspects enabled, it would blow your mind Ubisoft. But these aspects are locked from our use. All of your player's innovative and creative thoughts and ideas will never be brought to light in the MP community until this changes.
3) Custom match settings
The major problem that sticks out here is that we are unable to keep the match length to 'unlimited' and on top of this players are no longer allowed to vote to extend, end, or restart a match. The voting system gave even further power to the players, and allowing the match time to be unlimited we would be able to play escape maps and such.
4) There is no more "map community" as there was in FC2 This allowed users to search for maps easily and the best maps would be seen at the top. The silver, bronze, and gold matchmaking playlists are ineffective and restrict the player from choosing what he/she wants to play. Half the time you end up in the same maps over and over again which doesn't allow other map makers a chance for their creations to be seen. This touches back on the fact that we need the old player hosted match lobbies we used to have.
These reasons have completely destroyed all of which was fun in the FC multiplayer experience. There is no design for re-playability what-so-ever, and all we have now is a buggy COD port. These limitations must be removed or you will lose many loyal fans such as myself.
Thank you for sticky-ing this thread, at least it shows us you are willing to listen.

Please do not give people the option to ban. I was banned 257 (or so) times straight in fc2 for "xray vision."
People abuse the slightest bit of power.
Quick scope doesnt work... i dont mean no aim shot... i mean while you are aiming and you are trying to shot, you cant, you have to wait till your scope will load... thats ********Originally Posted by Mintage53 Go to original post
I dont mind how many times you were banned... i have been also banned many times, but i already saw cheaters in fc3 (today 2, one with infinite ammo and second with speedhack) i rather to be banned many times than playing with cheaters !!!
sorry but i have to disagree with youOriginally Posted by Heavy_Colors Go to original post
19 - i hear everything, idk maybe you have just soemthing bad in settings
20 - ok in fc2 i liked it more too, but in fc3 its more realistic ... and you cant shot from sliding so i dont mind this point
21 - at first i had same opinion.... but higher level of weapon = better ability (for me, idk if its real)... and also you can unlock for example fast aiming in your loadout
Without going into the countless glitches n server issues, I think Ubisoft have taken away a lot of what made it unique and exciting compared to other first person shooters out there. In farcry 2 it had a brilliant niche with excellent gameplay along with the variety of features with the custom matches and maps such as vehicles etc. No two matches ever felt the same, it constantly kept the game interesting. However, i feel like we have lost a lot of that now, and whilst the gameplay is still great, it no longer has such a great variety and little extras that farcry 2 had with more restrictions on the custom maps and no flexibility on game modes, and as a result, does it really shine out from other good first person shooters now?
