The multiplayer is riddled with bugs yet Ubisoft fail to acknowledge this or even release a patch to fix the problems which have existed from day one of release. The game should have been released as a single player game only. Even Dan Hay, producer of Far Cry 3 couldn't give any details of the multiplayer before release instead opting to heavily market the game on its single player content, which is what all the FC3 game reviews rated the game on. In hindsight you can see why Ubisoft kept so quiet about the multiplayer.

- Improvements to Skip Map functionality when playing on user made maps

I welcome the update patch to address certain issues with the multiplayer. But I encourage the Dev team to read the countless threads in this forum, for urgent fixes which still need to be addressed which are NOT stated in the above quoted patch.
Here's a brief summary:
- Fix needed for a stable and clear mic functionality. In lobbies and during gameplay.
- Fix needed to prevent players becoming invisible by exploiting a glitch using the mounted gun while using Skorpion as a primary weapon.
- Fix needed where Team Support "Bombshell" is sometimes having no affect on enemy targets in Firestorm.
- Fix needed where respawn points triggered during Firestorm have placed you on the other side of the map far from the radio tower.
- Fix needed where teammates are incorrectly displayed, moving inconsistently (randomly jumping/floating) while moving across the map.
- Fix needed where reviving teammates is immediately followed by a suicide, even though the on-screen display states the player was revived.
- Fix needed where in-game stats during a game are not recorded, displaying 0 stats for your player, this also preventing kill-streaks to accumulate to activate Team Support moves.
- Fix needed where Global Leaderboards display incorrect data. i.e XP and Kill/Death Ratio and over a billion wins.
- Fix needed where multiplayer stats are not correctly synced with Far Cry Outpost.
- Improvement needed to the Map/Playlist functionality. i.e List of maps currently in progress to join.
- Fix needed where you can no longer decode Hard-drives once all weapon mods are unlocked. (Should be able to decode to share mods as a gift to friends)
New features needed:
Option in game lobbies to select and report suspected cheats.
Bring back vehicles
Bring back Capture The Diamond type of game mode (Maybe call it Capture The Relic)
I appreciate game design elements may need to be changed to incorporate new features but these features did exist in Far Cry 2. It was insane to remove them.
Maybe offer them as DLC?
Most importantly address these on-going bugs which are still majorly affecting the multiplayer experience and are not listed in the forthcoming 1.05 patch.

I am very positive about Patch 1.05 options for Singleplayer, if it does well, all it supose to do....Far Cry 3 will then be the best Singleplayer game ever so far in video game history and i will be satisfied. For Multiplayer.....i gave up, thers is nothing for me there anyway, all MP modes are COD clones so all my expectations for a great an exeptional Multiplayer mode are now for FAR CRY 4....
I hope Far Cry 4 Multiplayer will then be exeptional and like most fans wants....
