    About the matching system

    Why the matching system of multiplay is so cheep?
    I can't host any game(It decided automatically) ,and It's very hard to play with my friend on public server cause of matching system.

    Even other free games have better matching system I think...
    Does Ubisoft recognise this and leave it?
    I like FC3 so much then I wish it was improved.

    I'm sorry for that I didn't read other threads and my English is poor,because I don't live in English-speaking world.
    Thanks for reading.

    As soon as Ubisoft decided the P2P system was better for them and not the paying end-user (in gaming experience terms) the MP went to pot. They also decided to go for an unintuitive menu system to confuse matters even further and combined it with a party system that is implemented in UPlay and not the game itself.

    ^ That said, here is what you need to do:

    1> Start Farcry 3, in menu click MULTIPLAYER > CUSTOM MATCH
    2> Select the maps and other settings that you want and click START GAME
    3> Click MY SETUP, select your friend and send an invite to them (repeat for each friend you wish to invite).
    4> Your friend will be notified of your invite - because the FC3 dev team didnt think of providing an ACCEPT INVITE button in the notification message your friend will have to go to MULTIPLAYER and click on MY SETUP, then he will need to click your name and ACCEPT INVITE.

    Hopefully that gets you both in game...and hopefully the P2P system wont crap out on you.
