    FC2 had a great map editor and system to play online with other people as it used a server browser style... but, the gameplay sucked. online was just bad.



    FC3 had the same editor, but sadly they removed the server browser style in favor of randomly putting you in a random map. it was stupid so no one used it. but the gameplay was awesome! if it had the same system as FC2 it would have been amazing



    FC4 it looks like they removed the ability to make a map and play it online completely. stupid.

    I am not buying the game now. way to ruin the game. if I for some reason get it, it will be used, I refuse to give ubisoft my money.

    I have never seen such a lively thread for any game... ever.

    I hope the feedback is transparent - shame Ubi cannot be transparent too.

    This is what is so mind-boggling to me. They have been really close to delivery a great MP experience but they are always missing something that keeps it from being so. You would think they would keep what worked and fix what didn't but instead it's like they start completely fresh with each game (Which could be a product of using 100 teams to build them) and in the end there is always a hole in what they are trying to do. If they could have the game modes from FCIP, server browser/lobbies from FC2, gameplay from FC3/FC4, and the Editor from FC4 they would have a perfect game.

    But instead they build another MP suite that is asymentrical (why?), 5v5 (why?), only 3 modes (why?) and no options to build maps for it.

    Makes no ****ing sense.

    what are you made of ? money, thats the only correct awnser according to ubisoft.

    I thought the middle finger given to the mapping community with FC3 was an incident coz it was massive's first fps and they didnt know what they were doing but i was wrong. Here is the other middle finger to the mapping community.

    just want to let you know im very dissapointed but who cares, right ubisoft? another sale lost but who cares. still a horde of consumer zombies on the loose, moaning SP.


    i see some of you are planning a revolution, good luck with that. but im not gonna waste more words here on this forum, they will be ignored anyways. my advise is, that you do the same coz ubisoft is only catering to the mindless consumers who are looking for a next quick high.

    see ya around

    Its all speculations....

    The Map Editor is an awesome tool! I can more than vouch for that, we played on the PC version, there were some new features and a lot of old ones.. I have been fully active in the Far Cry community since early Far Cry 2 days, which has been a rollercoaster in the 6 years I spent with the games.

    I for one am not allowing you to call me, Mauro or Lillestoel stupid, just like with those who went to Malmo to play with FC3's editor, they were not told everything, so when they hyped that up, people would attack them because they can't blame anyone else because the people you want to blame are those in Suits up in San Francisco who never look at these forums.

    I can go all day talking about what Ubisoft have done wrong in the past, but with Far Cry I can say that so far the decisions they have made (in the past) have not lead me to leave the game for good. This may be the closest I have been..

    I am still getting the game (on PC) and if they add the ability to create MP maps in at a later time (which is what I'm sure Julien said to us while we were in Montreal) then I will proceed to buy the game on XB1..

    All you guys are jumping to conclusions too much. However I understand why, and if I hadn't have been to Montreal then I'd be doing the same, but we were told things that we cannot say regarding the game, if we do we breach our NDA which would really ruin us. WniO there is no way you can direct this to us, when we were invited to the studio for being such loyal fans, not FAKE FANS.

    Anyway, Rant over, I've placed my piece of knowledge, and hope it is followed through with what I am sure Julien Said.

    If not, i'm sure, (like the lack of vehicles with FC3), they will change it back for FC5.

    Edit: Also, I know that everyone is going to Spam Alex Hutchinson because he seems to be the new figurehead for the franchise, but in any way sending offensive messages to him in any way is just plain WRONG, he doesn't make these sorts of decisions, he is the creative director for the SP. He seems to be one of the best guys in the business, the one main link between Ubisoft and the community. If we continue to send attacks, he will just back away from the franchise like the previous people have done.
    FANS OF FAR CRY FRANCHISE:YOU WONT KNOW ANYTHING TIL THE GAME ARRIVES,this could just be like what they have done with trials fusion,there has always been a multiplayer,people just need to calm down,omg,you have to think why would they invite a map editor(knowing that he loves mp map making )and not deliver eventually,it might not happen when game is released right away but of course if you buy the game and it never arrives to make multiplayer maps then you know not to buy anymore games they make SIMPLE AS THAT PEOPLE,but until you find that out ,ITS ALL JUST SPECULATION FOR NOW SOOOOO RELAX

    Im not a massive mapper but I enjoyed the MP and community creations, This is crazy. I will enjoy the single player Im sure, but to everyone who is a massive MP fan and Mapper I feel really sorry for you. I also feel REALLY let down that these features arnt in, the MP people wanted with the ability to make maps. From my time here it really seems like Ubi does not care about its community and only cares about the wider audience and not those who have stuck by them, People have been SCREAMING on the forums for info and you just dont say anything you just tell us you cant say anything at this time, No you dont want to say anything because you knwo the backlash you will get. Im dissapointed Ubisoft I really am. You've pissed of a lot of fans.

    Motherbumper... why in the WORLD would we buy a game where they haven't even MENTIONED the main feature we're looking for? Clearly you haven't been around Ubi that long. There are red flags all over this game.

    @Ubisoft:
    TBH game looks great and only because of one thing, FC3's success. Devs changed a lot of stuff, but it's still like FC3.5.
    The difference between FC1, FC2 and FC3 is massive and FC4 is a let down. Everything looks familiar, characters, environment, animations... Like a 60$ mod for FC3.
    You know what I think it's the reason for that?Well because all of the games were always more of a dissapointment than a succes.Far Cry was a good game but it was more linear game.It was fun but nothing to do there after7 or 8 hours of gameplay.So with Far Cry 2 they tried something new.They tried to make a realistic shooter set in a big map that was Africa.The story was fine but the open world was so boring.It was empty and going through Africa was a pain in the *** instead of it being fun.The game wasn't received well and Far Cry needed a change.Again Far Cry 3 was a totally new game.It had even bigger map that was awesome and the open world was a lot of fun.The game was all about crazy characters such as Vaas,Buck,Willis,Citra etc.Although the story wasn't really anything special but overall the game was fantastic and finally a Far Cry game that everybody loved.Ubisoft finally nailed it and why change it?Everything good that FC3 did,Far Cry 4 will do even better and hopefully improve everything FC3 did bad.For me this is the reason why all Far Cry games were so different from each other expect for Far Cry 4.

    So many forget that Far Cry 2 had issues in SP (on consoles anyhow- mostly the PS3) and MP was not a great game, the hosting options and lobby system kept it going plus CTF / TDM and Solo DM are always popular and a must have mode expected in every far cry game but it was slow paced and the blurred vision, clunky controls and pop ups in the middle of the screen did not help - net code was not the best and the MP system with ranked where players stacked on one side plus the kick feature abuse ruined it - FC2 MP worked for map makers though but we are small in numbers.

    Also you are correct Far Cry 3 could have been a lot of fun if it had the same hosting system and options as FC2 but IMO Far Cry 3's MP modes were also quite dull in the way they pushed the gameplay, the BattleCries worked in COOP but not in MP, The spawns were dreadful and the Team Support Strikes sucked.

    The MP modes them-self could have played better with minor changes - Only TDM did what it said on the tin but could have been better if you could set the number of kills instead of playing to the timer.

    Nice post US Revenge - As for me I like the SP Game enough to purchase it and will also like the SP Mission Maps, am willing to give the MP a go but we should be allowed to make our own MP maps and play them the way we want.
