    Holy shyte, a person with logical thinking? Where'd you come from my man? hahaha. I'm looking forward to them revealing something new, but honestly I do hope they shift focus to MP/ editor coverage because I don't want to know anything else about SP, I'm already sold on that part, but thats the only reason I'd rather they reveal MP, I honestly don't have much hope for it and am not expecting it to be very good if at all. FC3's MP was trash so I barely played it which meant I had little incentive to use the editor or experience what I gather was a disappointing sharing system for them....

    Woah now, this is a place for us to vent, a support group if you will.

    Weve been waiting almost two years for a patch. Take away this place to express our frustrations, and the majority of us would scatter across an empty plain of limbo, hopelessly searching for a light to follow. A new game is on the horizon, but many of us are witnessing a repeat of darker times.

    We must stay hopeful, you are wise friend. Someday soon we shall share our experiences together on a big and beautiful lobby system. I can feel it now, the light is so warm.

    Lol. Under normal circumstances you're totally right. But this is Ubisoft and FC. I'm guessing you're either new to Far Cry or have never been a big MP/ME player. What's happening here is an exact repeat of what happened before FC2 and FC3, both of which had MP that could have been MUCH better. We've had features we loved taken away and huge avoidable mistakes have been made. All we're seeing is more of the same. Why shouldn't we be frustrated with "business as usual?"

    I'm sure something will be announced sooner or later, I mean the game is out in just under 2 months, and the marketing strategy is pretty much the same as the previous games, MP will be the next part shown off, with the Editor a week or 2 before release.

    I hope I'm wrong and things are shown off sooner, But I just can't imagine it.

    This is the exact reason I expect MP to be as bad as ever. The editor will be as great as past games and probably better but yet again will be useless due to the terrible MP.

    Well, I think that any logical developer would take into account any undesirable aspects of a product as expressed by its customers, and make a greater endeavor to refine their finished product to a satisfactory outcome. If this means extending production deadlines, then I expect the majority of the loyal FarCry community would concede. I too feel finessed somewhat by what was less than promised with FarCry3. Let's just keep our fingers, toes, and eyes crossed that the next installment will make up for the past.

    Ha, been here a while, but lets be honest, if something hasn't been shown, its not ready to be shown or wants to be left a surprise for release.

    I started off understanding this and then you lost me, but I also like warm things.

    I've been a Far Cry fan since Far Cry 2, but yes, I'm not a big MP fan, not since FC3 anyway, I liked FC2''s. Far Cry 3's was very uninspired, they took a massive step back.

    Maybe this is a sign that they want to push the SP now? FC3's MP showed obvious signs of fatigue and it was just put there to be a "thing". If they botch MP again I honestly think they should kill it off instead of releasing something half arsed and put the resources into making SP and experience everyone will love.

    I really don't think it was a sign of fatigue. They dedicated an entire studio to the MP. I think it's a sign of two things: 1) Trying to copy CoD too much and 2) Not listening to what fans want. We've made it pretty clear what we need to make even medicore MP great: FC2s lobby system, the map editor but with more interactive items, weapon placement, vehicles, pre game options such as unlimited time ect. All they have to do is give us these simple things and us map makers will MAKE FC4s MP great for them. Ubisoft is very lucky. Their MP community is damned near united on the features we want to see. We've made it clear so many times in the past too. We were clearly unhappy when they removed weapon placement, they did it anyways. We were nearly unanimously against vehicles being removed from MP. They did it anyways. And we made it clear we hated the lobby system but they never fixed it.

    It's not fatigue, it's arrogance. That's why so many of us including myself are angry. And now they have the nerve to continue going about things the way they always have and ask us to keep waiting for info they already have? Yeah I'm pretty pissed at Ubi.

    Maybe the lost their nerve.Simply put.
    It makes me think tha FC is going out the same direction that Resistance :Fall Of Man went. Great PS3 launch title- R:FOM 2 not so great. R:FOM 3 really sucked. Maybe they just simply lack the drive or resources to superceed the product that was FC2. Take a chapter from Insomniac history book.
    With all the other AC games that are produced that do not have the same flow of FC games - maybe they are an easier out than have to contend with trying to reconstruct something along the lines of FC2. Sad to say that maybe they are just willing to accepty that they are a one trick pony / franchise that is AC and nothing but AC really going forward.
    All other games that they are trying to put out in 2015, they will have to just half *** a game here and there, take the heat over it and hope they gain ground with some other titles that they put out.. . and FC3 is the half assed one. for now, which next.
    think about it..
