    Hello Ubisoft! I still enjoy playing FC3 and im looking foward to see Far Cry 4! I hope you'll find some time to read my ideas and consider these seriously.

    I think Far Cry 4 main point should be Surviving. In Far Cry 3 surviving means you just need to kill pirates and that's it. So I want to see survival elements like Far Cry 2 medicine (malaria). You had to get tablets otherwise you died.

    - So maybe in Far Cry 4 you need to hunt animals to make some stuff from their skin and also to get food and find drinkable water.
    Take down outpost to find some food, water, medicine or you will be sick. So that kind surivial elements should be there.

    - Far Cry 2 got weapon jam system. FC4 should get that again, but also the weapon cleaning element by yourself should be in.

    - More ways to spend your money. Buy and upgrade vehicles, weapons and spend it on something fun. In FC3 it is too easy to earn money and there is nothing to spend it on except ammo.

    - After the game story end there still should be a lot of thing to do, activites, kill enemys, find something interesting.

    - Far Cry 2 and 3 got two big maps but I think you should create a one huge map now so there will be a lot of discovery points.

    - It depends on what environment FC4 will be but if on Africa or tropical zone then there should be deep jungles where is hours of discovery and you won't see any path or road for a while.

    - Bring back vehicles to Multiplayer, trust me, you will win a lot of fans back.

    - Map editor is a must.

    - Dedicated servers.

    - Player have to complete missions to get money, unlock a new weapons but still have to pay for it, vehicles, upgrades, safe house.

    - Gun shops with a lot of buyable weapons on wall because people love that.

    - A lot of animals like FC3 has (this is why FC3 won my heart and I bought it).

    - Now the following thing would be sick and everybody would love this. Build traps, walls, sandbags, fences, land mines, take down trees and god knows what crazy things. Or build a safe house by yourself. Need to set up defence, because now an enemy will come to attack you as well, (your territory) so you need to be ready for this.

    Basically the more survival elements you put in, then more better and realistic game will be and it takes more time to finish the game. Players appreciate realism a lot but it needs to be fun as well.

    Thank you!

    I hate to say this but I'm not even going to follow Ubisoft anymore. After what happened with Far Cry 3, I'm surprised how many people are still here.

    Call me harsh, but Ubi are ignorant and selfish. The lack of support for FC3 was appauling. Why didn't they fix things, and instead create a new arcade game? (Blood Dragon). I don't know what the figures were, but if they expected me to buy new content when the main game was still in pieces, then they need to seriously pick up Far Cry 3 and realise how bad it really was.

    Until I get an answer, Ubisoft, you can stick your Far Cry 4 where the sun don't shine.

    How about adding remote controlled sniper rifle just like that one: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013...emote-control/ , but wireless ? Imagine how cool it would be: first, you place it on a mountain above the outpost, then you crouch through the outpost, taking enemies down with knife, and when needed, you connect to the rifle via tablet computer, kill enemies and distruct them by shooting the gas barrels. I think this is badass. Oh, and sorry if I made some grammatic mistakes, english is not my native.

    How about adding a map vote (say a selection between four maps) at the begining of each match, while players are waiting for the match to start? A reshuffle option to get a different map selection would also be cool. Please keep the skip match option during the match itself.

    Enemies should act like they are wounded when you shoot them (like in Far Cry 2). Some should fall to the ground and get back up.

    Badly wounded enemies on the ground should try to crawl or stumble away and leave blood trails.

    Vehicles should have faster top speeds and have more realistic damage. You should be able to ram vehicles off the road.

    The map should include an urban environment with paved roads.

    Weapons should be able to fire different types of ammo (hollow point, full metal jacket, tracer, etc).

    Shotguns should be able to shoot slugs and buckshot.

    More hand to hand and melee combat (no quick time events).

    Crafting system show the character making the item (like skyrim).

    Bullet trajectory arcs over long range.

    Bows/Crossbows should not kill immediately in 1 shot when hitting the body (they should make the npc bleed out, gasp, struggle, etc).

    More cool music (like Far Cry 3).

    Ability to use random objects in the environment as weapons (like Hitman).

    Map functions should be on an in game PDA or cell phone.

    A story that makes the player feel more intense emotion (both positive and negative).

    Silenced weapons should make a more realistic "crack" sound.

    Interesting and less tedious side missions.

    Missions where you can beat up abusive boyfriends.

    NPCs should have many different racial backgrounds.

    Ability to purchase properties.

    Weapons should not become free.

    Nights should be darker and require a flashlight or nightvision.

    More ability to hide bodies (like splinter cell).

    Cool gadgets as long as they are realistic.

    Ability to restrain enemies without having to kill them (hog tie, gag, etc).

    Drugs that enhance abilities should also have side effects.

    The character should not be as flammable as Jason was.

    There should be more disturbed, deranged and/or insane people (like Dr. Earnhardt, Vass, and buck).

    Different types of melee weapons and and animations.

    Characters should exhibit stronger emotions.

    Gunshot wounds should be more visible on dead bodies.

    More destructible environment (buildings on fire should burn down and stay that way).

    Enemy NPCs should have longer, deeper, and more interesting dialogue (like hitman absolution).

    • Increase the timer for how long the player can hold his breath underwater.
    • Include some form of underwater combat in singleplayer and MP with harpoon guns or knives.
    • Bring back the tunneling tool from FC3 map editor.
    • For the map editor include some way to add pockets of air/poisonous vapour below water levels (would do wonders for underwater tunnels).
    • Include a vote option to merge matches together.
    • Bring back host migration from FC3.
    • Bring back the dynamic weather options from FC2s MP. It was awesome to play multiplayer as the weather effects were changing.

    This gave me the idea, that we should be able to interrogate enemies. We should be able to do it on the spot or bring them to one of our safehouses, tie them up, and interrogate to get information about for example enemy stations, objectives, missions, or if we have a sadistic character, just for fun But this shouldn't be something automated, because that's boring. We should be able to make choices, like make the prisoner believe that I will go after his family, or something. The point is, that it shouldn't be an easy task getting valuable information. On the other hand, of course if you catch a fresh enemy recruit, he should be more willing to give info right on the spot, and then just flee. Of course, this info shouldn't be that valuable as something you have to work on for days.

    Another thing:
    If we have tons of awesome characters (like in FC3: Vaas, Citra, Earnhardt, Buck, Hoyt, Dennis, Sam... ) they should be also interacting with each other, twisting the story, making alliances and betraying each other, and things like that. In FC3 in most cases, they were completely seperated from each other, just being one more man to kill. Things shouldn't be that simple. Surprise me when I don't expect it (meaning, that WTF situations shouldn't be restricted for the endgame). You should make more use of these awesome characters.

    Just this, with the addition of binoculars, being able to holster your weapons, and the ability to go prone.

    It frustrates me no end that console players get totally neglected in the HUD options area. It's such a simple procedure to give us an option to remove all the HUD, and yet we so seldom see it.

    Oh, to play FC3 like this on the console... Is it REALLY too much to ask, Ubi??
