No one seems to understand the criteria for how a map gets chosen for either silver or bronze. Just when I think I've got it figured out, a maps switch from silver to bronze...and sometimes back again. Please explain how these decisions are made.
P.S. Quite frankly, almost all the maps on "Silver" belong in "Bronze" ...or "Tin" ...or "Plastic" ...or "Cardboard!" I think you get my point.
I hated all the Ubi Recommended crap with Far Cry 2 - and this Bronze, Silver, Gold with FC3 I am not a fan of either - just seems to be a battle for everyone wanting their work to be seen and recognized.
I much prefer the old system on Instincts and Predator where we just host our own maps and play them, everyone seemed a lot more friendly then and they would host other peoples maps, now it is the same as with FC2 - Obsession with Ratings and Like My Map - I hope with Far Cry 4 that they drop all this and just have a basic model with the only stats been times played and times downloaded - no ratings or likes or any other nonsense.
Give us all an even playing field with no drama and let things sort themselves out, then there will be less selfishness.
The current model is Garbage with the Lobby / Playlist Situation, everything has been taken away and we basically have no control, I just don't see the point in even trying to make a map that I can't host properly - the enjoyment has been taken away as I can't browse the map list and join at my own leisure and with the playlist I get no choice on which game mode I play it is all spoon fed to me like someone in an old persons home who is just clinging on in hope that things will get better - Already I am now looking to the Ultimate Far Cry HD Compilation and beyond that also to FC4 but at the same time hoping that Time Splitters gets released or even Crysis 3 surprises us with an editor (unfortunately I am dreaming)
Mama I don't understand the playlist or how it works either, sorry to be off topic - just getting a little bit more frustrated as the days pass.
It don't blame you for going off topic. It's hard NOT to rant about how broken this game is. I'm on the verge of giving up and have very little interest in making new maps. The whole game has evolved into a competitive battlefield where everyone just "looks" at each others maps, but never really plays them...BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY!Originally Posted by FALLEN CHAMP Go to original post
I built a map, map with full detailed. Full detail with fair play ground inside of it. To whom I represent that my map and people went to like it with their appreciate. So I finally mended all bugs with last setup and I published it last week. Now Just, I played with a friend and 1 played 2 votes I got for my map last time. I don't know how I can get my map to next tier because there is non textured or flat maps are too much and blocking my map's front. So my map is not able to play in Multiplayer lobby 'cause of that fail maps.
My map name is "The Last Stand ver2" for PC. I am just wanted to hear my voice by game admins. There is a lot quailty and detailed map ruining while waiting their queue or something like that to play. If Multiplayer will never get to better then I will not make map anymore. Because my labour is wasting in that way.
I do not have a clue how this whole map teir thing is supposed to work either. Why does it have to be complex?
I am disgusted that a month after release, we still have to jump through hoops just to play multiplayer on custom maps. You cannot create a mpa list. Instead, if you want to change maps or game modes, you have to back out of the game. Literally all the way back to the xbox dashboard, reload FC and then get an invite from the host.
AFTER EVERY SINGLE ROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously? This is the best that you guys could do for people who are spending their money with you?
You also cannot do party chat, as that breaks the game as well. There are about 10 other major problems that come from this.
Here is another one. Just in case the devs were unaware. When backing out of the round to make ready to rejoin for the next round, if the host backs out before the other players do, when the players rejoin, they cannot speak to other players at all and in some cases have to reload 3 times just to get in the game. Also, you cannot just join. You have to be invited?
WTF??? Here, let me pose that question another way for you, Please tell me WTF you were thinking when you made this?
Very frustrating.
