    The lobby system in FC2 was fine.

    No offense, but your crazy! Or maybe your not a map maker?

    The only way to share and play our maps was to have our own dedicated lobby system like in FC2. FC3 failed the map making community 100%.

    So are you saying you preffered the FC3 system over the FC2 system? If you are, Youre one of the few...

    I think he just means to say he prefers dedicated servers over p2p, which I fully agree with.

    ahahaha you did not have and never played fc2: it used dedicated servers!!!! and you do not even know what ds are! the lobby is the failure of every game mp, why?
    allow a infinite lag, everywhere + allow unlimited kinds of cheating everywhere

    but 90% of the players, being kids, fail to recognize these hackers or do not care to play with ping 1000, so ubisoft makes a lot of money....with a product that should not even be sold!!

    Sab said that the lobby was just fine, and unless you are new to Far Cry you would know that he has been around since the stone age.

    What he ment is that the way we could look for maps on a server browser, so we could actually see the people hosting, or could host ourselves was good and is how we want it.

    Dedicated server is a different story that probably a lot of us do not seem to understand, but perhaps you can enlighten us...

    A lobby is simply the place where people gather before the game, that list of players with a chat box, you can have it regardless of dedicated or not.
    I actually like it, for clan matches you don't need to drop into the main game and while waiting for players its a lot easy to have a chat.

    The P2P system on the other hand sucks bigtime and the guy who thought of it for fc3 was only thinking about his pockets, dedicated servers with a proper server list is the go and always will be on pc.

    Are you kidding me? I probably spent more time on FC2 than anyone else in the world.

    Anyway, point is that the FC2 MP was a better setup than FC3
