    A bunch of new features and still no custom lobbies!!!!!

    Ubiisoft do you not see that everyone is leaving your game cause you refuse to put custom lobbies and fix the lobby system.
    quit thinking of a pointless ways to improve your game and just do what we tell you

    LOL. No kidding. "Beta Test Mode" is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. As if the 50 people still playing this game are going to waste any of their time beta testing maps. They already don't play the bronze maps, which are supposed to be finished, why would they play an unfinished one. I'm pretty sure nobody at Ubi plays their games. It's sad that we can all see the problems with their bad ideas before testing it, but they can't seem to make these connections. It's like they're willing to try any ridiculous idea, over the only one the community asks for.

    It's almost insulting at this point.

    I think the beta testing feature is a pretty good idea. If people actually run that playlist. That's doubtful ofcourse.

    This makes me sad. All this anticipation and nothing much to see. It's kind of like going to Disney Land only to find it's charred remains.

    well, im about done with this game for a while. about the only thing that made me half-way smile was the Author search.

    without custom lobbies and a map leaderboards like far cry 2, this game is a big bust for me. (and i know atleast 5 people who are willing to buy the game once Custom lobbies/ map rotations are implemented.)

    i guess we'll have to see how the beta test thing works, (probably wont get many players whatsoever though) because the game is dying.

    I've said this in another topic, but...

    They need to Rename the "Beta Testing" playlist to "Player Hosted", and enable map rotation/switching in these lobbies. Even if we can't have a lobby list and choose which ones to join, this would be a huge improvement and we could all add our favourite lobby hosters as friends anyway and join their lobby that way or request invites when they're on.

    No map rotation is still the most pathetic thing I've seen in a game to date, like I've said before every other MP game in the last 20 years has allowed people to switch maps without having to kick all of the players out of the lobby and just HOPE they'll rejoin when you switch a map. Insanely stupid.

    Yup.. Player Hosted Playlists is definitely the way forward if the game is to be played for any length of time. There is either some kind of bad attitude towards this at Ubi or the way the current matchmaking works its an expensive or laborious task to add it. The numbers on MP just keep dropping. I think there are possibly more people playing Far Cry 2 right now than there are on Far Cry 3 - for this exact reason. It would be prudent for Ubi to hold their hands up, apologise and make the effort to add Player Hosted Playlists. If they did this I am confident players would start returning to the MP, buy any future DLCs and support future Ubi releases.

    Why do we need a Beta testing mode? I have had no problems beta testing by simply uploading the map. Only your friends can see it. Then you fix it and Publish it.
    So thank you for the redundent function Ubi genius's. Maybe now you could address the million dollar question from the community. WHEN WILL YOU FIX THE NON EXISTANT LOBBY FEATURE?
