FCI and FCIP remain the most fun Far Cry games I've played from a multi-player perspective. While the SP side of Far Cry has improved, the MP side has gotten worse with each successive iteration, to the point where we no longer even have Team Deathmatch as a PvP mode, and matches are restricted to 5-on-5 (absurd for a next-gen game). I've noticed with FC2, FC3, and now FC4, the developers seem to have this attitude that they know what we want more than what we do. While gamers have been clamoring for MORE game modes, the developers have stubbornly insisted that what we really want is LESS game modes.
Bring back FCI and FCIP for XB1 and PS4 - heck, even keep the same map editor, I don't really care at this point.
Is more really the answer though? I get people not liking the asymmetrical set up for it (I don't really like that either in an FPS mp mode) but a bunch of modes is going to stretch designers more thinly across development, creating weaker, less balanced modes. I think 3-4 modes is plenty, it's the execution of those modes and the gameplay that makes it fun. I'm personally also a fan of smaller player counts, though I know thats not everyone's preference.Originally Posted by Brimtown Go to original post
I don't think more modes is the solution. What I do think is that a game mode EDITOR would be absolutely amazing and compliment the map editor brilliantly. If Ubi announces a FCIP remake (not just a HD remake) with the new editor including MP AND SP map making then I will preorder ON THE SPOT!! Even after abysmal way we've been treated the last decade.
I agree, The SP has gotten amazing, but the MP strayed away from what made the old far cry games so incredibly fun. the Map editor back then allowed people to be incredibly creative. I played hours and hours on player created maps. They ruined it in far cry 3, simply because they made it impossible to upload your map and have it searchable so that you can play on your own map with random people. With out this option map creator is pointless. the fact that they decided to limit the creativity in map editor and make it impossible to play a map with random people absolutely pissed me off. If they could do one thing to make me a happy camper, it would b bringing back an upload and search system for player created maps.Originally Posted by Brimtown Go to original post
