So has anyone at Ubisoft actually tried playing Far Cry 3 on PC (can't speak for console)...? Either no on play tested this partially completed game or Ubi doesn't care one bit about the fans/people who bought the game (i realize many of you would like to follow that statement with a Duh). Multiplayer- indefinite load times, 4vs15 teams ( I sat in a lobby earlier with 8 people and when teams were assigned after the countdown it was me against 7, so wasn't because of people dropping in match), failed host migrations, indefinite lobbies, stuck at load out selection, weapons doing no damage despite hit markers for days, teleporting players (prob the horrible lag), broken voice chat, Co-Op- stuck @ load out screen, broken ai, enemies glitching after death, objectives failing to load preventing progression, & if that's not enough apparently the Single Player story has a game breaking glitch in the Oliver quest preventing the game from even being finished by those who bought it... All games have glitches but you basically sold what would be expected from a beta release as a finished game. 3 Patches already and I swear the number/frequency of the issues is only increasing.

Yeah... The Multiplayer/Co-op population of Far Cry 3 lasted about as long as a batch of sea monkeys. The match making was god awful and the matches themselves were boring and simple. The multiplayer/co-op lacked all the things that made the single player fun. They felt thrown together and rushed, built on the back of a matchmaking system from the 90's. The co-op was alright, but 90% of the time the host wouldn't understand how to play any mission but the first, and since you couldn't choose to host yourself and set things right you were stuck joining/quitting until fate or luck intervened and by some miracle you were the host and could select another chapter, then you had to pray people didn't quit. I don't think I even got to see all the levels. Combined, the multiplayer/co-op of Far Cry 3 were what I would consider the biggest disappointment in gaming since Duke Nukem Forever. How'd you like your bill of goods?
Look on the bright side, they didn't sell you Far Cry 3 beta...they sold you Far Cry 4 beta.

get my money back I would!!! **** game will not allow me to enter Store Doors, Climb stairs or even walk on a sidewalk. I spend an exorbitant amount of time just trying to climb the stairs on towers. And jumping to ropes, on some towers in order to activate Space/Climb I need to look directly down to the ground. It is extremely frustrating, game is not FUN at ALL!

I have only played multiplayer once! WHAT A LOAD OF CARP! No way at all of choosing servers/maps/game modes. It just drops you into some random game. you can't even host your own because it seems invisible to everyone. CO-OP seems to be somewhat ok, but got tired of host migrations and getting kicked because everyone bails. SP seems to be the only thing that was paid attention to, that and the editor are all I find worth my time. However, the editor only seems to be useful to create maps which no one can play.

I can only quote , multiplayer is a epic fail
Really really noob.
Only in online games we can find a so big sh-it product selled in beta.
Someone must learn how work... atm multiplayer are just stolen money
poor developer ( still wait a reply Vexx but at this time who cares ? ) and useless support
Last game buyed from me , next sure i dont pay a cent for a ubisoft product.
All other im gonna take it on shop but sure no more money for noobisoft.

So I also posted the original post of this thread to Ubi's Facebook page... The typical "automated" big company response I received from them was:
Ubisoft
Hi Mason, thanks very much for taking the time to pass on your feedback on this, we have passed this on to our FAR CRY team. So you're aware our team is constantly working to improve the gaming experience, so stay tuned for more soon. Thanks.

My official response to those shenanigans?
So I took a break from Far Cry 3 for a while since it was becoming more frustrating than fun due to all the glitches/problems with multi-player... figured maybe give some time for Ubi's team who is "constantly working to improve the game experience" to work out the kinks. Well let me just say that WOW you guys have gone leaps and bounds to improve the "experience" that is Far Cry 0.3beta XD No more having to deal with glitches ect in multi-player because it just flat out does not work now... less than 170 people playing, all on TDM yet you can't even successfully get into a match even through quick match. First join attempt- stuck in empty lobby w/ "unknown players" indefinitely, then upon leaving lobby game gets stuck @ Leaving Lobby... 2nd attempt- made it passed lobby to indefinite loading screen lol 3rd attempt made it into match then stuck @ host migration b4 match starts for a few mins then in match by myself (sure ubi will count that as a partial success and things are working). 4th attempt - crash to desktop during loading. Oh and did I mention that friends lists are gone in Uplay? Been discarding an awful lot of speed boosts... And again, not my rig that's the problem, my friends (not Uplay) who also "play the game (try to anyway) have confirmed not having friends lists either lol so good job Ubi... instead of the horrible experience I was having b4, now there is no Far Cry 3 experience :-)
