Do you want Predator mode in FCE and FCP to be in FarCry2

[Krauser47]

Alright I know that Ubi has never said anything about a console version of Farcry2 yet but if you want to see Predator mode to be on the PC Version of FarCry2 Than Vote here.

[bongomast3r]

I voted no. While I would actually like to see it, (I assume by predator mode you mean there's some superhuman guy against a few mercenaries) I think Ubi should stick to the realistic mercenary-type game for this sequel. They're already trying to do so much, adding predator abilities is just one thing too many.

Like I said, I would welcome such a gameplay mode, but I don't think there should be one given the scope of the game already. They can't put everything in the game. you're talking about another game there.

[britrb]

What is predator mode?

[Portchyboy]

Wouldnt fit in the game.

[stickgore1]

Of course I do!!! Thats the only reason I bought FC IP because their was a map editor and predator mode looked awsome! Please Ubisoft! Put it in multiplayer please! I dont care if its in single player just add it to multiplayer for like a little fun gamemode or something please!

[starwarsfan007]

I would love Predator mode!!!!! But with no Jack Carver or Predators in Single Player, I don't think Ubisoft will add it. Predator mode is kinda of like Juggernaut in Halo the Predator has feral sense, can Jump high, run fast, and has a powerful scratch/lunge attack, Jack Carver gains these abilities in the single player, it is quite fun. And of couse this is only in Instincts.

[E4zzYMoNeY305]

i wish i could vote yes several more times because predator mode is the only thing anyone really play's in multiplayer because it RoCk'S.it may not have nothing to do with the story mode but i really think that it should be on the multiplayer or the game would not be as much fun without predator's.farcry never get's old...that is of course if farcry 2 doesn't come out on xbox 360 that would suck ;-}

[Jrv2005]

YES!!!! PLEASE ADD A PREDATOR MODE! I will not buy farcry 2 if it has no predator in it.

[konradski]

lol there about 10 other games with invisible characters in go play one of them

avp 2
half life 2 mods ..take your pick most have the pred character in or just type !inv in console
also
the hidden the original game mod for hl2 with a invisible attacker tht actually quite good when u havent got 10 people shooting you instead of the creature your looking for
think qauke serie,s had one as well and unreal tournement
n some guys were toying with the idea to add somthing similar to cod serie,s

[Jackster2]

As much as i love Predator mode. I love to play on it http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif. But I don't see it in Farcry 2 . So your in the savanah going around killing people destroying trees. Yippy. But then you turn into a Feral maneating killing machine. It just wouldn't work for the story or online really. I can guess that they will make more better modes like CTF, Assualt, other stuff like that i would think...

[evilryan55]

I Think That The Far Cry Predators Makes The Game More Exiting! The Predators Make The Game Even More Unuque And Specail Than Other Games. If Their Is Not A Predator In Far Cry 2 I Won't Buy It Because On Far Cry One That's The Only Game Mode I Play On Because Its Exiting Having A Super Human That Has A Deadly Claw Attack, Extremely Increased Agilty And Can See Through Walls Making Predators The Ultimate Predator!

[evilryan55]

If They Don't Want A Predator On The Main Story Line They Should At Least Make A Kool Seperate Mode For The Predator Loves Like Me http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[netflame5]

guys, I don't think you seem to get the fact that Jack's abilities were caused by a premature development of an advanced version of the trigen virus developed by the Krieger Corps. Now, seeing as neither mutant aliens or strange viruses are going to exist in this game, the predator ability would seem to come from absolutely nowhere. This game is about realism and realism. that said, realism includes crysis like super suits, not a virus that makes you super primal.

[Krauser47]

It would definatly be a big dispointment if they don't do it to all the fan of the xbox and 360 versions of FarCry. It was basically its unique touch that it had over the PC Version multiplayer. Unless they make options for multiplayer games like in halo 3 and you can really go far into modifying the game mode than this must be a staple for the console versions at least. Hopefully they do add on to the multiplayer options by giving you a boat load of options like the # of lives a person has before he dies, or how fast he can preform surgery or how much damage he can take before he dies. There is such much stuff they can add like respawn time, calling time for reinformencents. Something like the Halo 3 customization can be realy appreciated by us Console gamers and PC gamers alike

[Zulu_598]

As a console player(old FC gamertag: Bipolar Lion) and having bought every FarCry xbox version at release I agree that "Predator mode" in multiplayer was really fun and it would be a shame not to include it but it does not belong in singleplayer or other regular multiplayer modes.

90% of the people I play or have played on FarCry prefer straight up merc vs merc gameplay with no Predator mode pick ups, so I don't know were some people who have posted here think Predator is the only thing people play on FC Xbox multiplayer. Death match, Team death match, & CTF is were it's at.

So I vote "yes" but only in it's own multiplayer
mode. It would be a good tribute to the previous console version.

Well I never said that as of one. But the thing is, Predator Mode was a Unique multiplayer mode that only FarCry had. I like playing STS Team Chaos it is just that Predator was by far the most unique mode out of any of the FarCry Games. If it didn't exisited than the FanBase would be much smaller than it is to day on the 360.
You have to understand that the Predator mode made FCIP unique compared to the average multiplayer game along with the fact that it had a map Editor. I understand that it doesn't have anything to do with the single player so they proably won't include it. But you must understand that It made it unique. The destruction of Predator mode will mean that they will need to come up with a different multiplayer mode just as good or even better to replace it or just have options like in Halo 3 that allows you to edit certain teams physics and stuff like that. Basically what they did in halo 3 they need to try and do so that we ,The fan boys can recreate the game type.

Oh my god if <span class="ev_code_RED">DO NOT CIRCUMVENT THE LANGUAGE FILTER</span>!!!

Complete feral abilities sets in single and multiplayer modes is NECESSARY on consoles... it's the way it's always been it's like your taking features out of the game!! FFS think ubi... this is gonna hit you like the language packs for naruto! except i didn't care either way there i just enjoy playing the game...

far cry 2: evolutions/predatormode powerup DLC ftw!!!! PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!! look how many people want it... fair enough PC people don't like it cos it invades their 'original' game but come one... console people need it.. it's like when they took geomods out of redfaction... the sequel sucked! even though the first game was amazing, when you couldn't tunnel around cliff faces on multiplayer it lost it's charm completely

[Staticks]

Predator mode just wouldn't make any sense in Far Cry 2, thematically. This isn't a supernatural game, or one with mutants.

What would make a little more sense in the context of the game, and be a little more original, is something like "Hunt the Spy(s)," where a couple sneaky, stealthy players try to evade and/or defeat the larger group of patrolling mercs. Or "Sniper hunt" where people try to track down and kill some snipers that are hiding out in the large, open, natural environments.

[IceT-Bag]

Apart from the name, its a different game, not a sequel, so predator powers would be out of place.

A man in my local chip shop says rumour has it that this game is called "FarCry2" because a UBI graphics artist created the logo ages ago and kicked up a fuss about it not being used. UBI tried telling him it wouldnt make sense and would cause uproar, confusion and much sadness amongst the console community, however the graphics artist pointed out he knew Chuck Norris, and fearing the 'beard of invincibility', and the fact that Chuck can kill you with every object in a given room - including the room itself...UBI relented and agreed to call the game FarCry2 so the graphics artist could use his logo.

that's not the point at all!!

the point is, people playing far cry on consoles have played through TWO WHOLE GAMES with the progressive onset of feral abilities. They have become a major defining part of what made FCI and FCIE and FCIP so great, it was that and the map editor which stopped the game from falling as soon as it was released. Nobody cared on consoles cos we get tons of new shooters every month (yawn!) Far Cry 2 is not going to have the replayability of the others cos no matter how beautiful or realistic it is, it's going to start to feel empty pretty soon after you've finished the story

you wouldn't take toad or yoshi out of the next mario kart sequel

you wouldn't take away bullet time for a matrix sequel

look what happened to red faction: they took away the geomod engine for the second game.. lo and behold it SUCKED

it doen't matter how you work something like this into the story because in any 'wild' setting, feral abilities are completely plausible.

in all fairness in light of this news i'm beginning to think everything should have repeated itself like before; Far Cry 2 on PC Far Cry: Instincts 2 on consoles

just remember, the more worked up you're getting whilst reading this is just proving me more and more right.

I REALLY hope ubi can get something done about this, they keep delaying this game enough..I mean c'mon they went to the bother of releasing a japanese language DLC pack for the naruto fanboys... what about AT LEAST a predator DLC pack for the CONSOLE FAR CRY FANS!?!? it's so much more of a sensible request.

(so frustrated right now i have to keep typing even with nothing to say, sorry, i can't help it!!!)

I will be really disappointed if far cry 2 stays big for a couple of months and then everyone goes back to halo and COD4 again.. people only just stopped playing the last one when halo came out.. Don't drown yourself for a stupid mistake far cry... even if you are massive and beautiful

PREDATOR MODE AND FERAL ABILITIES FOR FAR CRY 2 PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!

[Staticks]

The console version of Far Cry wasn't really two whole games. It was more like one game, and then an expansion pack (Instincts and Evolution). And Far Cry 2 is really, thematically, an extremely different game from Far Cry: Instincts, as well as Far Cry 1, and I have a feeling it actually pretends Instincts never existed. As far as the developers of Far Cry 2 go, Far Cry 1 might have existed, but Instincts didn't (which really was true at the time Far Cry 2 began development, as Instincts wasn't even out yet). If you ask the devs of Far Cry 2 right now, they'll probably tell you the same thing: that Instincts isn't part of the canon, and Far Cry 2 is a direct sequel to the PC version of Far Cry 1.

Besides, even if Far Cry 2 DID acknowledge the existence of Instincts, and was a sequel to Instincts, a sequel doesn't necessarily have to take any elements from the previous games; they can be completely different. Final Fantasy, for example, is a series that has its games completely different from one after the other, with no connection in storyline, even, and major differences in gameplay mechanics. So, just because a game is a sequel to a videogame series, doesn't mean it has to absolutely resemble or take on elements of the previous installments.

And you really shouldn't be claiming that Far Cry 2 won't have any replayability as far as it's single player campaign goes; in fact, the developers have quoted up to 50 hours of total gameplay the first time you go through it, side quests and all. The single player campaign will be epic and massive, with intricate, total freedom of gameplay. I'm MAINLY buying this game for its single player (although I may very well play the multiplayer a lot as well, depending how good it ends up being).

[cre8nhavoc]

I was never one to really care for Predator too much. I for one gladly welcome the new approach to realism.

[Zulu_598]

I agree "predator mode" has no place in FC2. Their going for realism and there's nothing realistic about insincts.

I'm glad the consoles are getting the same thing as PC this time around. Even as a fan of Predator myself having bought every version for xbox at release it made the singleplayer way to easy and Predator mode in regular Chaos(death match), team Chaos, & most other multiplayer modes was always turned off and not used by most people I played with if not it was *****d up by the same players over and over because they couldn't kill without. For me and most others (IMO) has always been about the merc vs merc gameplay.

The developers not being the original creators of FC have done a great job on weeding out the things that do not belong and Predator mode is one of the things that went into the trash bin.

Also, when playing Predator mode everyone usually had some dumb rules for example, Predators can't use weapons, and "don't count down the timer. Basically, Predator mode was just for BS-ing around. Just like some of the people who made 'course' maps inside of playing regular game modes.

[Icecube1137]

Predator mode is a popular gametype in Far Cry Instincts Predator for the xbox360

but I agree with what other people said, it wouldnt fit in far cry 2

[Zulu_598]

You could play as the Predator via "pick ups" in regular death/team death match(Chaos) or in Seek n Secure & CTF but it could be turned off before the match. Most people didn't use it.

But there was also a seperate multiplayer game mode called "Predator" were 2-4 players had unlimited respawns & special 'feral' powers and the other team was regular mercs without powers.

The regular merc players had a reinforcement station to respawn dead teammates & the objective was a station with a countdown timer that kills the Predators when it hits zero & ends the game. You could put a blow dart on the map to kill the Predators in one shot but regular weapons work aswell it just takes more to kill a Predator.

The Feral Abilities at the player's disposal include:

* "Feral smell" - The scent trail given off by living things is visible as an orange glow which can be used to track movement.
* "Feral vision" - Allows for orange glow night vision and thermal vision.
* "Feral speed" - Allows the ability to run much faster than normal.
* "Feral jump" - While utilizing feral speed, allows players to jump great distances.
* "Feral attack" - A melee attack, initiated by pressing the 'B' button when an enemy is targeted, powerful enough to send most enemies flying.
* "Feral strength" - Ability to rip a mounted weapon off its post.
* "Regeneration" - Jack's health slowly recovers when he's not under attack; how fast he recovers depends on how much adrenaline remains.

Why Do You Capitalize Every Damn Word?

[Icecube1137]

Even if they do remove the predator game type from FC2 (which the devs probably will) they should replace it with a similar gametype.
I like the guy on the first page's suggestion with the gametype where a small group of mercs sneak around the map and "hunt" the rest of the mercs, but im not sure how that would work

But since FC2 is aiming for realism, the devs could replace the preds in multiplayer with maybe 1-4 guys (depending on party size) with mercs who are wearing super suits (crysis, halo?) and have abilities similar to the feral abilities in FCIP

[potter_025]

I didn't like having the feral abilities in Single Player and preferred using Guerrilla warfare in it, it made me more cautious and felt better when I took out a camp successfully without resulting to feral abilities.
HOWEVER, I will miss predator mode in the multiplayer. I didn't like how they had weapons. I also didn't like how the predators used brute force instead of stealth taking away that chill of walking through a dense jungle not knowing when it would attack.
If the predators had no weapons and used more stealth making it more jumpy and chilling, I would look forward to having predator mode back.

[potter_025]

The realism of Far Cry 2 has been promised and demonstrated greatly, but putting in Predator mode will NOT ruin the game, if you didn't like it, simply don't play it. The game is meant to be realistic, and is, but by putting in a game mode like this will not take away the whole realistic edge.
Having 4 mercs sneak around isn't great, they aren't scary enough thus not being enjoyable.
Having guys with Crysis suits isn't fun either, they look like idiots and won't fit into the African theme.
Put back mutants that fit into the African theme, take their guns away and make them more stealthy and just put in a multiplayer game mode for them. It would make Far Cry 2 my favourite game ever then.

[yimimoto]

I guess I am not understanding why a multiplayer gametype would have to fit the single player themes.

Think about it. How does capture the flag or conquest fit any theme in the single player at all? At what point in the game do you have to capture a flag and bring it to your base whilst defending your own flag? How is that even a realistic mercenary objective?

So I can't really take that reason seriously.

Those aren't dumb rules. They make it a survival mode against the predator/s since there is a lack of gametype options for the host to choose. Which can be just as or more fun as/than predators protecting an objective.

And why should the super overpowered predators need a sniper rifle? Or dual p-90's?

Alright. Sorry for the little bit off topic talk.

It should just be a game mode, just add a Predator like character a player can be and that's all you need. It would add tons of already high replay value to the game.

[NoneSuchL]

People need more imagination, they also need to stop expecting every feature in Far Cry 2 that was in Far Cry. We won't be getting any Feral abilities, that's for sure so people shouldn't be expecting them as they simply make no sense for the setting. Even multiplayer modes have to follow a similiar theme of the single player.

But there's no reason we can't put a "merc" mode into the game. Give 4 players powerful, clean weaponary and tough body armour then put them against 10+ Gang members with crappy ak47's, pistols and knives which jam and aren't accurate.

Give the Mercs limited limited respawns, then give them a mission objective like "Blow up the pipeline"

[jibbermann13]

dont want it never liked it

[Juggalag]

Off course if you dont your a far cry noob. Its needed and its needed now. its not difficult it makes the best game types possible (cops and robbers and all that sort of stuff) no predator no far cry i think
