    This was pointed out in a discussion at battlemap:

    Why is there AI in this video? This must be some sort of coop or a custom SP map mixed in this footage. Theres points where enemy AI is standing there doing nothing, Objectives seem to be fought against AI.

    Thoughts???

    Or IGN is using SP footage in the video as well because they think we wouldn't notice that....

    Honestly at this point I don't know what I have to think of the MP, Ubisoft and the PC port

    At the moment I'm really disappointed.

    The game modes look good to me and the MP maps look alot larger than FC3 - possibly more the size of a Battlefield map.
    I noticed in Propoganda on the minimap theres A,B and C. Looks like a good mode arming bombs - as someone already said, probably like SnD which I like. There was also someone throwing a molotov at a notice board/advertisement - might be part of the mode?

    That last mode with the mask looks something similar to Capture the Flag which again, looks great. I like the idea of a sacred mask to steal and win. Still, could have been more fun if it was Capture the Tibetan Monk, strap him to a quad bike and drive him off a waterfall.

    Defend the Outpost should play really well in my opinion, especially if, when you are defending you don't have to leave the outpost to win. If thats the case, it possibly incorporates a TDM element where if the outpost is not captured after so many kills then the defender wins... but I guess I'm speculating. ^^

    I can't wait to get my hands on this game - I just wish there was more info about the Map Editor so I can start spamming my friend list assuring them its going to be great.

    When you listen at the start of the IGN video they say that they had previously covered the COOP part of the game, The first 26 or so seconds of footage are from coop and again at different intervals through the game it shows a few seconds of coop and also of missions in the Single Player game I believe.

    Take those out and the video would be even shorter, it does not really show off that much.

    Looks like we got 3 of the MP map names out of it though - DISTILLERY / HOSPITAL / RIVERSIDE and if the name is correct from one of the MP Images I think another MP Map could be called BRICK FACTORY.

    There is still so much to know about MP - I have a ton of questions but no one available to give any answers

    O.O

    Map editor not popular? Are they playing the same game as us?!? The MP isn't popular but the editor most certainly is. Have they really got it THAT backwards? Do they really think it's the editor we have issues with and not the MP?!?

    Well its just a little group who really put some time and effort in their maps, maybe thats why he's misreading the situation. And thinks therefore the editor must be too complicated. Or he's just smoothin the path for a dumb down editor.

    Btw this isnt the first time they at ubi misreading the situation. Just like nobody is playing fc3 mp therefore people are buying fc3 for the sp. Uh no mp was just too buggy and we couldnt host our own maps in public.

    Ubisoft didnt have A problem with Multiplayer or the Map Editor Until they created Far Cry 3 .... I am pretty sure I am not the only one that thinks this, but FCIP and FC2 Had millions of maps made . Multiplayer has lasted longer than most games out there . Played well with traditional game modes, and Objective based...

    Has anyone else noticed the increase in drug usage put in the far cry games? A Crackhead with the ability to make video games just dont mix..


    I guess Ubisoft is basically saying The Whole Far Cry community is A bunch of A-S-S HATS! The term " Alex Hutchinson Used " because Ubisoft is Tea-bagging us all as we speak!
