If you're going to do business, it's your responsibility to make the customer happy or else find a new line of work.
    For the past few days, I have been trying to upload a map that I had uploaded before. Everything checks out in the validation for team deathmatch.
    There is no reason the map should not upload. I really believe this is on your side and I'd like this problem to be addressed. If I can't upload maps, there's no point making one.

    The multi-player has other problems. Random suicides, no vehicles. A feature available in Instincts. I'm sure that every customer of yours would appreciate it if you would show us some courtesy for being a customer. Without the customer, you will be out of business. Without us, you're nothing and you know it.
    Far Cry Isn't Far Cry without a map editor for multiplayer. Without the editor there will be no point in using the Far Cry name. Ubisoft managed to screw up in Far Cry 3 with a shotty multiplayer and a almost useless map editor with features that can't be used in multiplayer. I don't even look forward to a new Far Cry title because it is most likely going to be another disappointment.

    Me and another player were trying to start a match yesterday. Every time the game would put the two of us on the same team, and promptly end the match; because, nobody was on the other team.

    Decoders disappearing?

    I've attempted to look high and low for another thread pertaining to this, but i have no had SEVERAL very nice weapon mods get lost.

    a decoder will finish and ill go to retrieve it and will just sit there with the little loading icon. and no matter what i dont i cant retrieve it. when i exit to my ps3 dashboard and come back its just completely gone! and now i just had another issue where i opened up my decoders and choose decoder 1, it said i had a cd. i choose the cd for decoding, for a split second it began to decode it, but then it went right back to saying "ready to start decoding" and when i went to see if i had the cd still it was gone as well. im starting to get really tired of ubisoft (not that im not already)

    I have enjoyed playing the game but I have to admit that somethings are frustrating.
    There is nothing more aggravating then being in a tense situation and have the whole game
    crash at that moment ( just about to clean the enemy camp out with one last guy and
    Your back to the towers miles away ). This has happened to me more then 25 times.

    I am now in the area of the deserted high tower and there is a camp near by that has taken me out like
    15 times in trying. I have tried to use stealth or just going in blasting ( which does not work BtW ).
    It has Dogs , a Tiger in a cage, several Armor Iron men walking around and no way to shut down the security alarm because it's in the middle of everything
    ( Can you knock it out with a rocket ? ). I was down to no guys left in the camp and a helicopter comes from no where and takes me out ???,

    Any hints would help here.

    Well it seems when I ask a question I solve the problem. It turns out this time I attacked at night
    and took everyone out without a hitch. I have cleaned up the whole north Island.
    One thing that is not happening is that at most of the captured camps has a Bulletin board with
    quests. I need to do some "path of the hunter" Quests but the Bulletin boards are blank. How do
    I do these???>

    I just realized I'm probably on the wrong posting board. I this is for discussions for
    Counsel games like PS2 and XBox. Sorry for being confused

    Hello gentlemen, I read some messages here and I must say I disagree. Needless to say Far Cry 3 was a great success for Ubisoft.

    Although I played every single Far Cry, I must say I do not really feel that the game is dependent on its map editor and I don't think it should be. Map editors are side activities that should not replace a good solo experience, just like in the terrible Far Cry 2 single player mode. This license, which was not originally developed by Ubisoft (it was edited by the French company, but developed by CryTek), is now conquering a much broader audience.

    The identity of this license is defined by the heavenly landscapes and the RPG-like mechanics applied to a FPS. The multiplayer mode is definitely more marginal than other famous FPS. For instance, developing the campaign in a CoD game only takes 30% of the resources, whilst multiplayer is worth 70% of the total budget for the game! Far Cry 3 may be known for its map editor, but it is definitely not the strategic point early fans think it is.

    However, I understand you may consider the very limited investment in the map editor as a betrayal if you are an early fan. Yet, to me, Far Cry 3 multiplayer is a great experience.

    I can report a few bugs, though, such as random suicides, breaking my kill streaks, and a weak matchmaking

    Multiplayer...

    I love Far cry 3... i found the single player really interesting and fun to play but was slightly disappointed at its length (or maybe it was more me playing it too fast?!) anyway i love it and have started to play it again.
    The multiplayer is also a part of the game i love. I know some people hate that its like a COD game, but personally i think having COD in a jungle sounds like a great idea, i found the online part great to get into and have enjoyed playing it.
    However, i agree with many players opinions about the bugs running in the servers. Often i end up committing suicide for no apparent reason, it often lags and i hate that the match i'll play loses a host and simply puts me back on the main menu.
    I love the multiplayer but realise the bugs running through the servers are making it unpopular with other players. While i realise with the announcement of far cry 4 there'll be less attention give to FC3, i hope that Ubisoft make the multiplayer in FC4 like FC3, just like a COD game, but without those annoying bugs.

    Weak matchmaking, is not a bug. Its the bread and butter of a multiplayer experience. Did you even finish an entire match without the game crashing?

    Far Cry without an editor would almost be as bad as StarCraft without one. And FC3s editor/MP was torture.

    In the next game update i would include two new gametypes.....Capture The Flag(CTF) and Deathmatch(DM)
    They should of made it easier to play your custom map with others. I wonder if this can be fixed. Why can't an individual host their own map and have people automatically join without having to inconveniently send individual invites to everyone and then only like 5 people actually join.
    I would increase player count from 7 vs 7 to 10 vs 10 to make game more exciting. In BF3 they had 12 vs 12.....and i still thought there should be more players. There are some dull moments where you run around not finding anyone. An increased player count would solve this.
    Can't wait for new multiplayer maps. Since player count has dropped a lot since game release i think i will not be paying anymore towards future packs. Please focus more on the multiplayer next time for FarCry 4...I know you could of made the multiplayer in FC3 more badass if you wanted to spend the time doing so(without being too Cod-like.)
    The reason FarCry 3 failed is because you failed to make the multiplayer badass.
