    Did that guy just mentioned the Harpoon Gun and elephants? That's actually a sign that Ubisoft is listening!

    Although they have been mentioned before in other topics.

    Kinda feel like the message gets through, but quite often gets taken slightly out of context. E.g. The harpoon gun was suggested as a way for players to fight underwater. We get confirmation of the harpoon gun as a pre-order DLC, that lets you pin enemies to the wall. No mention of underwater combat.

    Began thinking about an alternativ to players sending each other weapons and attachments as gifts. Instead of directly sending gifts, imagine players placing out a couple of these weapons and attachments into their custom maps for others players to explore, seek, and collect. When players are waiting for a custom map to load it should say which of these weapons and attachments are hidden with in the map.

    You all forgot one big issue. LEADER BOARDS.

    if there has to be a leader board at all can it please be policed and obvious cheats banned. If its hacked replace with an earlier good integrity backup. I had nothing done regarding my hours hacked to dilute all my stats and my reported accuracies are ridiculous as a consequence. My Z93 should be around 90% as should M700 even disregarding double and multiple kills.
    Bad enough suffering huge lag issues (why not introduce "balancing lag"?) then also confronting players who are using Xbox emulators, aimbots, speed enhancers, extra/unlimited ammo, mini map all time showing all (labelled) players, invisibility, elevated health and recovery, god mode etc and control of other players (unable fire weapon, wrong load out, no ammo, suicides) When you play them they degrade any statistics you have and enhance theirs. Offending players should be NAMEABLE and published and if supported by video evidence that also should be postable on the forum.

    As illustration: I know of one arrogant cheat whose statistics supplement his "brilliance" as advertised on his egotistical "TheFarCryThree" (yes "THE"; who do you think you are?) YouTube channel. One of his user names starts with "frag3" ( I have not disclosed it here...) ......and look for example at his co-op stats. 34 wins yet zero chapters played? Hmmmm..... Look at his videos publicly posted which clearly show he suffers no lag ever (???) at all and uses aimbots and extra speed but fails to publish that he knows where everyone is all the time; which will probably show on his other screen. I imagine that the top 60 players are cheats by default and many more are buried within the lower ranks.

    If it can't be effectively policed PLEASE scrap the whole leader board as otherwise it merely serves to both attract and keep cheats in the game. If FarCry4 makes the money as did FC3 spend some of it on cheat eradication. I still maintain most cheats will be using hacked games so UBIsoft gets no remuneration at all from these spoilers. If they are kicked out they may move on to the rest of the on line community; but if they are allowed to perpetuate their nastiness they will remain.

    I doubt MP will be much of an improvement and will remain the domain for me if I play of awaiting invites to player maps (stat-free as well, hurray); but please prove me wrong and let us enjoy hosted games and real EXCLUSIONS for cheats.

    And while I am here; please try to do something to determine lag switchers and ban them. A physical switch in orange LAN cable is all it takes but the data stream interrupts should be self evident if not the video evidence.

    Maybe you could add to the forum and have a "latest cheat" video forum and post an exclusion list and name and shame them. I certainly try to quit any game that I determine cheating; after a certain amount of video has captured sufficient to evidence it. And DO NOT LET THEM BACK as it should be conditional of the game that it is not played with cheats and ownership of the game is revoked by cheating. Do NOT let them back under another name and remove their duplicate identities as well if one identity cheats.

    Please FC4 surprise me and don't disappoint again.

    I see. I'll add that wish once more wishes are being posted.

    Far Cry 4 should receive more steam support, because the previous Far Cry games on the PC lack Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC). That's the first thing I thought of as soon as I finished reading your post. Far Cry 4 should be supported by Steam, and require players to register their CD-Key towards Steam, not just Ubisoft's Uplay.

    PLEASE do not bring back disease and gun jamming, they were two of the most complained about features in fc2!

    Make 4wd vehicles 4WD that can climb a half descent hill like a real 4wd, not like the "2wd" 4wds in fc3. and one massive disappointment for me was trying to drive a jeep off a cliff really fast, jump out and hit the wing suite button, mission impossible! also put the vehicle controls on R2 & L2 (playstation) so that you can vary the speed!

    The others mentioned that they should be brought back only available in "Hardcore mode".

    I'll set up the PlayStation 4 controls:


    Control Scheme On Foot (PlayStation 4)
    R2 Fire Weapon
    L2 Aiming down sight, or fire dual wielding weapon
    R1 Throw grenade, molotov cocktails, rocks, pipe bombs, etc.
    L1 Tap to switch weapon, Hold for Selection Wheel (Use Left Analog Stick to select grenade, molotovs, rocks, traps, weapons, etc. and use Right Analog Stick for syringe selection. Use D-Pad to activate kill streaks.)
    R3 (Camera) Melee with knife
    L3 (Movement) Sprint
    X Jump or climb
    Circle Tap to crouch or hold to prone
    Square Reload, interact, or dual wield
    Triangle Self heal or use syringe (For some reason, I do not use Triangle to select weapons as it appears redundant when I could just press L1)
    D-Pad Up Camera, Binoculars, or Monocular
    D-Pad Down Call mercenaries to regroup for single player. Activate battle cry for multiplayer
    D-Pad Left Send mercenaries to attack and/or move to a certain spot for single player. Call for help for multiplayer
    D-Pad Right Call medic for both single player and multiplayer (If there is such thing as a medic class for multiplayer)
    Options Menu
    Touch Pad button Map for single player or co-op. Scoreboard for multiplayer.



    Control Scheme while Driving (PlayStation 4)
    R2 Accelerate Vehicle
    L2 Brake/Reverse Vehicle
    R1 Tap to switch weapon, Hold for Selection Wheel (Use Left Analog Stick to select grenade, molotovs, rocks, traps, weapons, etc. and use Right Analog Stick for syringe selection. Use D-Pad to activate kill streaks.)
    L1 Fire one handed gun
    R3 (Camera) Turn on car lights on and off
    L3 (Movement) Car Honking
    X Change Seats
    Circle Handbrake
    Square Tap to Reload weapon, Hold to exit vehicle
    Triangle Self heal or use syringe
    D-Pad Up Camera, Binoculars, Monocular (You can't move the vehicle)
    D-Pad Down Call mercenaries to enter vehicle for single player. Activate battle cry for multiplayer
    D-Pad Left Send mercenaries to attack and/or move to a certain spot for single player. Call for help for multiplayer
    D-Pad Right Call medic for both single player and multiplayer (If there is such thing as a medic class for multiplayer)
    Options Menu
    Touch Pad button Map for single player or co-op. Scoreboard for multiplayer.

    All good, but I would like to see the gun controls on foot the other way around, with the L1 & R1 being for firing and aiming as they only need a click, this way you could make the R2 for throwing granades and vary the power of the throw!

    On PS3 R1 has the better feel for firing. However on the DS4 for PS4 R2 is the better option. It just feels right. And there are problems with the R1 being a little sticky at times
