FARCRY 3 Since I had bought a copy of farcry 3, I have been in and out of these forums every day and by no means am I taking the side of ubisoft but I do understand that patching a game could take some time, I am still vex and upset that ubisoft haven't formally come out and admitted these issues and given some sort of public explanation but what I am prepared to do is continue with singleplayer and finish my second map, then put the game one side till January, I have advised all my friends to do this. My personal feeling is that this game had been dealt with in a dishonest manner. My hope is that ubisoft alleviate these issues soon. If anything this experience has taught me not to rush out and purchase a game so quick or to have high expectations which kind of takes the fun out of standing in a queue at midnight in anticipation of your favourite game. I hope you fix this ubisoft because my feeling is that your company wont be trusted so easily with the next franchise. You would also do well to learn from 4J studios as they are always keeping their fans upto date, you have to admit that with all the publishing you did and excitement you generated you got this one wrong. please put this game back into the hands of the hardcore fans. but if nothing has been sorted I don't think I will be trusting your games so easily, I think I speak for the majority, there is no point listing all the problems with Farcry 3 as the same issues keep popping up on a daily basis.

you know ubisoft? just screw you, listening to the community? nope. fixing glaring issues? nope, but sure glad that pc users get to disable the hud...
dedicated servers? nope. non laggy multiplayer experience? nope. the idea that any effort was put into the multiplayer except the bare minimum? you guessed it, nope.
stick with singleplayer, it's brilliant.
Just 20 minutes ago I reached level 75 so I feel that I have a good list of the multiplayer aspects that need to be fixed. These range from small to big so here's my list. (xbox 360)
-Falling through the map when getting downed. It doesn't happen often but its a pain none the less. Basically no chance of getting revived so its very frustrating.
-Matchmaking is terrible! There are times when I'm on a team with less players but the team with more players gets the person that just joined?? That doesn't make sense and it makes it so the other team has the advantage. (side note.. There has been multiple times of teams having too many players. I have 2 pictures of 8vs6 and 2vs9. If im not mistaken, the maximum amount of players to a team is 7.)
-Map rotation is repetitive, SHIPWRECK, SHIPWRECK, SHIPWRECK, jesus! I play Shipwreck 50% of the time during my multiplayer experience. Maps shouldn't EVER be repeated in a playlist. I should be able to play all the maps before I play Shipwreck 3 times. A vote for maps after a game would help. CoD has it, Halo has it, and Gears of war has it. Step it up Ubisoft.
-Host Migration isn't as good as it could be. Most of the time it works but recently host migration has ruined some of the games I have been in. For example, today i was playing transmission and near the end the host left the game... SO basically it took about 30 seconds and when the game went back into session it restarted??? It literally took away everyone's points and kills. After the host migration nobody could capture the transmission so my team won because we had it last. PLEASE FIX THIS! Host migration shouldn't restart a whole game and take away my exp that I earned.
-Tattoos becoming corrupted but leaving 2 layers that were never there before. This is a small problem but it sucks for people that put a lot of work into their tattoos. I know i wasn't happy to see my 20-something layer tattoo disappear.
-Invisible people.. Maybe it was lag or whatever, either way it needs to be fixed.
-People falling between the sky and the ground due to lag. According to their screen it looks like nothing is happening but to everyone else it looks like they are lagging and flying up and down constantly.
-No indicator as to how I get to my c4? This isn't really a problem but I was confused because I wasn't sure if I had to use the [RB] or what. I just clicked left on the D-pad and I figured out. You guys should at least show somewhere on the screen how many c4 I have and how to access it. Also why can't c4 be trown far like single player? I feel the multiplayer c4 goes nowhere compared to single player. I throw it and it goes a little more than 5 or 6 feet.
-(This is just the game in general, not just multiplayer) I'm not sure what it is but the aiming in this game is just OFF! I find it difficult to aim on this game but on Battlefield or Cod or even Gears of war my aim is great. I can snipe on all of those games but for some reason my aim and my sniping is terrible on this game. I resorted to hip firing which works well with the SMGs. It feels really stiff, maybe I'm the only one that thinks this but the aiming is off in this game.
-Silver Custom maps, Most of the silver maps on Xbox are terrible. I understand that we vote them into the silver but I think we should be able to down vote maps and get them off Silver. Maybe Ubisoft can approve of them or something but there are great maps that should be silver and its not most of the ones that are actually silver.
-Knifing!!!!! I hate knifing in this game. I feel like the animation just ruins it for the person getting knifed. There has been many time that someone is rushing me and I'm hip firing but it stops me from shooting so the animation can start. I feel like thats cheap. It takes you out of the game and you can't move or shoot so its overpowered in my opinion. Also there's times where I'm trying to knife and I end up knifing the air but the animation still lunges me at the guy and I get the animation. It just feels cheap to me. Even if you miss but you're close you can still get the animation and kill.
-I know everyone is saying this but we should be able to upload maps that aren't TDM related. We should let the creative people be able to create racing maps or exploration maps with ai and animals. Ubisoft could even make a separate area just for those maps and they could get voted to silver and all that as well. How fun would it be if we could create a mission for others to download? We could make a town and put ai everywhere and there could be objectives. Same thing applies to the racing maps. It would just be infinite replay-ability.
-Revive indicator is always in the way! I hate it when my team member dies in front of me and I can't see the people that killed him from long range because there's a huge circle blocking my sight. Please make the revive indicator become transparent like the domination point when I aim near it. I have gotten killed too many times because of this.
-This is just my opinion but I don't believe there should be a draw on Firestorm. Its a great mode but it ends in a draw 50% of the time. I think it would be a good idea if the team that set the most fires wins. It just sucks going through all that work and not getting a win after. Again this is just my opinion and it isn't a huge concern.\
That's all I can think of but IfIi remember anything else then I will keep you updated.
But what if I've never played CoD? I like MP but I've never played CoD. WHAT THEN?!Originally Posted by StealthHazard Go to original post
MP is fun. It lacks the quality of SP, but it's still fun.
I'm done with this game, selling it tomorrow.

Matches end prematurely
Constantly put into ******ed player created flat maps with no effort on bronze
Cant find matches on silver
