    Multiplayer!!

    Got your attention and you know why. Because we are one month away from launch and we know nothing about it. No footgae, no demo, no beta.

    Well, does this mean we are getting the same things we had in FC3. I mean apart from very simple menus in the Story Mode, much of the game looks very similar to FC3 apart from the different setting.

    So why do we have nothing to show off the great editor that apparently comes with the game? Does it exist? What does it look like, whats in it? Who knows.

    In the MP whats in it? Who knows? Could be anything.

    Does anyone seriously pre-order without knowing these things? Its crazy.

    Not me !
    I'm actually waiting for infos on the Editor and MP to decide to pre order or not.

    I'm giving them one more week (until friday / saturday) to give us some infos, if not, then I'm gonna start being unpleasant...

    I hate you for this thread, OP.

    HATE.

    I seriously thought this had MP news in it. Why you gotta twist the knife, bro?

    Also, no, I dont have this pre-ordered. FC3 cut me reaaaal deep because of the botched Editor/MP combo. Waiting to see what they have to show before I even consider it.

    I fear this means just that. If they would have something positive to show or tell they would have done it already? Or MP is still very unfinished? Have they even started to make it yet?
    Maybe they are trying to record some footage but they are stuck in the infinite loading screen?

    There are 2 main reasons why UBI hasnt shown anything MP related:

    1) its not their focus and its probably underwhelming. This was the case with FC3 and why we havent seen anything untill the last month.

    2) there might be some tiny features that have not been decided yet if they r gonna make the cut so they r not sure what to show and what not yet. This isnt likely to be the case since we're just one month before release so i highly doubt there are any doubts about features.

    I just think MP is there for the check box and UBI prefers to save the PR money to the SP portion.
    I think that only The last of us didnt show MP until the last moment and from what i read its actually pretty good.
    There arent many examples of such stories.

    Im not expecting anything special with MP. But if they allow me to create SP or Coop maps in the editor than that'll buy my vote.

    I'm waiting to see if it's going to be the same laggy MP BS as FC3. what is it called user hosted?

    if so I will just play with the 18 people left playing MP on FC3 when I get the urge. lol

    I would be VERY surprised if there are dedicated servers. So be prepared for playing off a Japanese players connection with an 800ms ping every 3rd match.lol.
    I never played FC2 MP..how were the servers?

    They are dedicated on PC, and people still play the game.

    Anyway, I agree with the OP, don't preorder the game, don't give Ubisoft your money. They advertised just the campaign and after that they started spreading pre order edition videos, because their focus are MONEY.

    FC4 will likely have matchmaking again, or maybe a server browser if everything will be fine. I won't espect to have dedicated servers in this game. It won't make no sense for them, since they will release other Far Cry games every 2 years.

    I'm ****ing pissed, 1 month left no informations about multiplayer, I don't give a **** anymore about this game, this is unrespectful for the customers!
    Cya when this game will be on sales!

    And after thousands of tweets and questions unanswered about the mp, here's a video for you Ubisoft!



    Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and from other thousand hearts a slogan borns that says: Ubisoft, GO **** YOURSELF!

    I believe the anger in here is justified, TBH. What makes this so bad IMO, is that it seems the only reason they're holding this all back is because of some crap marketing plan where deals were made, money was exchanged, amd plans were made with some other entity other than US.The Gamer. The Fans. The consumer.

    Typical publisher nonsense.

    And UBI does it every time. And its maddening.
