    Please don't remove the bow in Far Cry 4.

    Bows were the best part in Far Cry 3. I enjoy playing Far Cry 3 with a Silenced Pistol and Bow only. Gave the feeling the touch of a jungle boy. I was using only 2 weapon slots in Far Cry 3 and didn't unlocked the other 2. I do agree the bow in Far Cry 3 was overpowered, but it was mindblowing. Cross bows are gross and give the same feeling of using Guns or Lauchers, etc. So its my kind request to the Far Cry 3 bow. Thanks!

    There has already been 2 pictures showing the bow, One of the main character on the back of an elephant with a bow, and another of a hunter with bow.
    The bow I believe was either confirmed in a podcast or some mention in a video - It is in FC4.

    Well even I noticed the bow in the video on top of the elephant, but I see a lot of people complaining! So I just though of reminind UBI and try to get a confirmation!

    Have a listen to that podcast (40 mins long) there is a mention on weapons / vehicles and stuff, I can't remember but think the bow might be mentioned.

    Also the Hunting System has been refined.
    "We've refined the hunting system to promote and reward more careful hunting. If you were want to get immersed in hunting, you can go with the bow, craft the right potions or sneak up on the deer and take a headshot, allowing you to get the good hide and craft the materials."

    I also really liked the bow in the single player game on Far Cry 3 but in multiplayer I never used it much and rarely upgraded it, for me it was harder to aim under pressure I guess when in MP.

    I like the look of thie new bow in FC4 it looks like an ancient antique but futuristic at the same time if that makes any sense.

    Indeed it looks really good! I wanted something like that and they have given it to me.

    Also I guess in MP everything depends on the ping. Like Aiming, firing, moving, etc. I guess the hosted server is in US. The person with the lowest ping rate is always the winner in MP. That is why I only play MP in SWAT 4, as it is a tactical shooting game, not just shoot everything.

    I liked the bow and using the pistol with a suppressor but UBI kinda ruined it for me because of the low XP you get when you kill something over the takedown XP... the reward should be higher and not lower and I hope they take that into consideration this time around.

    I hear the XP will be greater if you headshot an animal? if true, that is much better.

    I also hope there are more chances of capping some pirates or privateers and not just exploration as it did get old for me. Yes, I understand this is more of an exploration FPS but still, give us more shooting
