    Request for dedicated servers in Far Cry 4

    As someone who owns FC1, 2 and 3, I have to say that FC3 multi player was a huge disappointment. With the map editor, FC3 multiplayer could have been a huge hit. But UBI's ignorance and arrogance to not release dedicated servers or even a server browser killed FC3 mp within days. It baffles my mind as to why they would release a map editor without dedicated servers to this date. Please don't make the same mistake with FC4. If FC4 has a mp mode, just do it right. If not, just release a SP and CO-OP mode. You are only creating pissed off consumers with half-*** products like FC3 mp ( especially on PC). Cheers.

    Oh, this is how bad FC3 mp was. All clips came from a single match.

    Bigg Yes on this!!! When FC3 was in dev the community went on a rampage and was really trying to push the question for Dedicated servers. http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...-servers/page3
    But sorry to say no... we dident. And the multiplayer was ****! Total ****! Not the gameplay part... but the p2p crap system. Dident work what so ever!!
    Simpel what the devs need to do:
    -Real dedicated server that the community is hosing
    -Serverbrowser
    -Anti-cheat system
    -Mod options
    -NO GAMELISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    let's hope someone takes notice of the misdirection and epic fail of the multiplayer and map editor on farcry3. the single player was great, but the ability that was given on the mp and map editor on farcry2 was the saving grace along with the massive storyline. the game was and still is better than farcry 3. Ubisoft can do better than this on farcry 4, follow your moral compass Ubisoft.

    THis is a must. The devs has talked about doing more for PC. This is the time. Bring back the good old servers that made the old FC and other game great!!!

    FarCry is not a MP game first of all. MP is like a bonus for you guys! Frankly speaking, FarCry is an art, its an expression, its an experience of a character, exploring him, understanding him... Its all about Villain and how would you handle the situtation? How would you do it? What will be your idea, your tools, your equipments? Its not another shooting game... Its suppose to be unique and have its own identity... Looking at the basics of the Far Cry series, I personally frankly speaking feel that the entire team on all the 3 episodes so far have done a brilliant job. I can see them doing amazing things with FarCry 4 too. My advice to you is stop forcing the development team to focus on MP. Let them do their job on SP. This game is all about SP and not MP. The day when this game becomes MP, I am out of here... I wanna see characters and artist in this title. I don't wanna see friends next door sitting in front of their computer and playing with me. I wanna see scripts out of this world, I wanna experience and explore...

    That is fine I am happy for you and respect your choice to play by yourself. But since this is regarding the ability to play the game’s Multiplayer maps is a bonus to us that want more out of a game than simply playing it over and over again.
    I played Far Cry 2 for several years after its release due to the free maps and the ability to work around the lobby system it had. I‘m glad you like to play single player by yourself, but I’d rather keep playing on dedicated servers that continue to breathe life into a game even after the single player campaign fades away.
    That is id Ubi realizes the error of their way with FC3. Great single player – horrible horrible horrible map editor and multiplayer.
    Raise the bar with FC2, and try to limbo under it at a six inch height with FC3. Ubi can do better than that, you know you can…prove us right.
    Or wrong.

    I did not buy watchdogs either.

    I doubt thats all Ubi care about.

    Its a business for sure, so obviously you need to make a great game to make money from it. I actually think the team that create Far Cry really do want to make something great and put alot of effort into it.

    This thread however, regarding dedicated server and multiplayer - well, theres been a multiplayer part of the game for years. The point is - even from a business point of view to make money - if the game comes with a great MP as well as a fantastic story mode, its a clear winner all round.

    Alot of the feedback the community gives might sound harsh - but to be fair its feedback that would actually help the game improve.

    No Dedicated Servers = No Sale

    Simple as that for me. Without Dedicated servers for multiplay I won't be buying this game. Too many other good games going to dedicated servers. Why waste you time and money with one that isn't?
