    No wonder why this game is already dead.

    This game is dead already and it's sad to see but its not hard to tell why. I have to applaud Ubisoft Montreal for their fantastic job on the Single Player but on another note someone should fire some people over at Ubisoft Massive because they are useless. Like i said the online is dead there's less then a thousand people playing right now on Xbox and I'm sure PS3 and PC are not doing any better. I'm happy that they finally got the Silver and Bronze Player map lobbies working but after a couple games I'm just not satisfied and some of that has to do with the players themselves. A couple of the game i got into were completely unplayable because of lag and I found a decent Parkour map and people were sitting in the spawn just killing everybody and you couldn't move more then 2 steps without getting gunned down. I loved the other Far Cry's and played Far Cry Instincts a ton back in the day but this one is absolutely horrific. Instead of trying to keep some originality they just copied a CoD style template and built it up like that. The Map Editor is the worst then it has ever been, even compared to Far Cry Predator, You can't see grass or trees or really anything until your right on top of it and if you plan to build a big map be prepared to not be able to certain parts of it because it won't load up if your to far away. They took out vehicles and weapon placement and on top of that they put mounted guns in their maps and not in the Map Editor, I thought the point of making a new game is to take a step forward not 2 steps back. The way the game plays is alright but i don't like the fact that they try to force you to play the way they want, but i do like certain aspects of the game such as the tattoo editor, Decoding and i like if you win you can either let the top player from their team go or you can punish him but other then that I'm not to impressed, I've been trying to love this game because i loved the other ones so much but it's just not going to happen. This is pretty much my review of the Multiplayer, i personally think there is no way to salvage this game and i don't think Ubisoft Massive is able to do it by themselves but you never know, I highly doubt it so if you still think it's fixable don't get your hopes up.

    This is why I'm waiting before spending a lot of time to create maps. I'm not sure that there will be enough players to play our maps... Matchmaking need to be fixed as soon as possible before the multiplayer die...

    For God's sake, I'm seeing this type of post everywhere. "hurr teh gaem is ded" or "No one plays multiplayer". Have you forgot about Single player and Co-op? I completed the main story line and I still have to finish some stuff. Also, many people have jobs, which makes their single player playthrough even longer.

    Just give the game some time and it will be filled with people in no time. As for the map editor, be grateful that it's even there.

    I think everyone on here is on the same page, if you honestly think MP and map editor is a step forward you probably have damaged your head recently and don't know up from down.

    Let me let you in on something.... Even if ubi made this game a MP based juggernaut like every other fps out it still would flop. Why? Because of the gaming community. Folks we live in a world where bops2 does 1 billion in sales yet the community screams its the same game. Ppl are buying bad games like candy covered crack and now every game needs a mp attraction especially if it's a fps..I would much rather play a massive open world game and spend countless hours on it rather than sit thru a cheap cod knock off cuz as we all know cod sells so why not give us what we want right? Wrong. This forum proves that open world game play is a mind bendingly 2nd place to shooters on rails with a yearly installment this game isn't cod, never was. So I ask again were you upset Skyrim didn't have MP? If u want competitive online go play a game that is centered on that. When you grow up and want open world exploration come back and see us. And ps and by the way ITS BEEN OUT 3 DAYS IN THE STATES

    you are missing the point, all other far cries included muuch more creative map editor, hardly anyone buys this game for matchmaking MP, and if you did you are doing it wrong, the only reason anyone has every really been excited about far cry MP is due to user created maps with full creativity. Its as huge of a selling point as its amazing SP. Its not about the community, its about what was great in an ancient game is now poop in a brand new up to date game. It makes no sense and deserves all the criticsm.

    I suggest you post constructive feedback in the designated thread if you would like this called to the attention of the team. I'd leave out insults like calling some Ubisoft Massive employees "useless" in the feedback, though. There's really no need for comments like that.
