Somewhere set in central Asia in a fake __istan could be interesting, blending aspects of Chechnya, Afghanistan, Pakistan and everywhere inbetween- deserts, mountains, and a bunch of other variety is all available that way. It could be especially interesting if it was set during the cold war, with the player being a soldier of fortune working with both the CIA and KGB. Maybe we could meet a young Willis or something like that?
The Caribbean is also a very likely possibility, considering (I think) that's where the series started, but it comes at risk of Far Cry 3's 'everything looks awesome but kinda samey on either island' syndrome.
Hello,
In my opinion, the next Far Cry should be hardcore, a bit like Far Cry 1 and 2! I'd like it to take place back in Africa, like in FC2, a central or southern African country.
There would be a great fauna variety:
lions, leopards, spotted hyaenas, african wild dogs, golden jackals, blue wildebeest, plain zebra, blak rhinoceros, African savannah elephant, Cape buffalo, great kudu, impala, hippopotamus, Nile crocodile, duiker, white throat dragon, baboon, warthog, porcupine, giraffe, oryx, black mamba, boomslang, spiting cobra, rock python, pitvipers....
*NEWS WEAPONS*: Ruger, FAL, AR15, M16A3, Bushman, Barret 50.... I like the ones in Far Cry 2, adding some from FC3 and true news weapons will make it better!
Why not a true big town, with distinctive places: market, port, railroad,, slum... And headquarters for different factions
-no wallhack and no dot that indicates the enemy position, that makes the game too easy.Just a compass and and a detailed map will be fine. No icons and arrows to mark your objectives.
-improved IA, the rock throwing thing should just work once, two times to fool a guard, but no more! I mean ,it's silly to see the guard can follow the noise the rock makes but won't get supsicious at all.
- slight bullet change for snipers (aiming higher than the head to get a headshot), recoil, reloading times, no more Rambo player nor enemies. Having to take cover makes totally sense and is vital to survive. More weapon customization.
-camouflage should make a comeback.
-ability to lay down, like Far Cry 1.Almost every FPS has it, so it's frustrating not to have the ability to do it in Far Cry 4.
-various environment featuring: desert, savannah, jungle, woody savannah, marshes, valleys....
Long story short: a new iteration that takes place in Africa and improves everything in Far Cry 2 while keeping the best from the others Far Cry games.
