First of all, I know this is kind of selfish, because why would they care what I think? But even if no one reads It, I want to post my ideas for the next game, complements/criticism hugely accepted.

-- Ideas --


1) Make the Missions more Detailed: No matter how cool the scenery was, all the missions in the Game eventually boil down to a version of "Go here, kill them." And that got boring. Make missions that involve interacting (see next suggestion)


2) Friends, not all Foes: I think a good improvement would be that depending on what missions you have been doing, some people might actually be nice to you and help you (and not just for friends), you might wander to a guard post and find that people help you.



3) More weapons/cars: There are tons already, but simply, the more the merrier.


4) Customizable Weapons: Make a new shop, or maybe just a new segment of weapon shops, where for a price, you can adjust weapons, where it be adding a silencer, a scope, or a flashlight.



5) Air-bound Vehicles: Im not just talking about hang gliders, powered planes would be awesome.



6) More Secrets: This sounds silly, but once you have finished a game, one of the things left to do is finding hidden things.



Well, if anyone read that, thank you.

Outsource it to Crytek.

All good suggestions. But one important one is I suggest the use more colors in the future! Is brown/gray/orange the ONLY color scheme for scenery available to Ubisoft developers! GRAW2 was the same way. Iccck! The water colors are just horrid too! The original FarCry setting was absolutely gorgeous! Even the African savanna in the summer has more color than this! The only time the scenes have beauty is when you set things on fire, but even that doesn't propagate very far! On the plus side, the sounds are really good.

I really loved all of your ideas. I agreed with all of them.

I will lock your ideas in my head and if ever there is a chance to make suggestions, I'll pass them through.

You worded it greatly by the way, I want to add to it, but I cant.

But a target for FC3, or maybe even as DLC for FC2, is that the Map Editor has loads more items. Not all maps have to be revolved around Africa. AKA some actual Urban buildings and settings that can make map building more fun and easier to build replicas of older maps from other games.

Better still, some Lighting. Street Lights, Inside Light Bulbs that are bright or dim, a specific colour, they can flicker, maybe even a light switch that's interactable so we can switch them on or off.

Just a nice addition I'd say. I've seen PC Gamers with the ability to add lights in the game, so why cant console users do likewise?

One gripe I have is that there are NO nasty baddies in FarCry2 that really scare the crap out of me like the Trigens did in FarCry. There's nothing like opening a door to a dark room and having THAT thing come charging out at you to make you jump!

1. make it more like far cry 1
2. dont let ubisoft near far cry 3
3. ????
4. profit

For the love of god, DON'T make it more like FC1. Those damn Trigen freaks ruined that game for me. Besides, FC1 was much too linear.

Really, FC2 as is, is incredibly good for me, as for any FC3 game, more of the same, with a few improvements in mission variety, some A.I. tweaks,such as more friendlies, and interaction with civilians, lose the malaria, more weapons, and perhaps move the venue to Central America, or the Pacific Rim.

yeah, Rica...
i never played FC1, but the malaria annoyed me in this game, as well as the fact that thats the only way to interact with the underground.

but yes, i really enjoyed this game with what it is...

civilians would be nice, and instead of having 2 territories in Africa, how about 3 in, as u said it, Central America, Europe, AND AFrica, with only 1 map each.

FINISH the game BEFORE you release it.

I enjoyed FC2...aside from the saved game freezes. My suggestion for FC3..dont restrict the weapons. I want to be able to pick what weapons I want to carry. For instance if I want to carry two AR's..I should have that choice. I cant carry a sniper rifle AND a shot gun (which would be my choice). Another suggestion would be more clothing options or armor upgrades.. or better camo/stealth upgrades. Do away with the vehicle repair manuals.. they suck anyway. The length of the game was perfect.. maybe a few more unlockable missions and a wider range of locations. I've always wanted to see a game come out where the game/missions changed by increasing the difficutly level..meaning playing the game on the hardest level would be nearly a totally different game scenario than on the easiest level. I thought the graphics/sound on FC2 were pretty good. The malaria thing didnt really make much sense and was more of an annoyance. Overall (aside from the freezing) I give the game a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. Ubisofts promptness to resolve the freeze issue still puts a sour taste in my mouth !!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take your time on this and add a lot of what the fan base wants. Bigger map editor Budgets, we do have hard drives that can handle all the memory.

yeah...!
Also, how about a little easier way to find buddies...i only found 2 or 3, and the rest found me.

First and foremost, tie up all the loose ends and release FC 3 only as a really polished product. It doesn't have to be perfect, but close. Instead of starting from scratch, I think you should further develop what you already have with FC 2. Keep it in Africa. You spent money sending the developers to Africa and you can further leverage that investment by keeping it in Africa.

• Improve the stealth and AI.
• Add a carnivore or two to the mix.
• Get rid of the malaria, or make malaria a risk if you don't apply mosquito repellent.
• Get rid of the glowing water bottles, or add them as a needed item for health along with a drinking animation.
• Add some civilians and don't make all NPCs automatically hostile.
• Get rid of the buddy rescue segments. If I die, I die.

Not one game in history was finished upon release, where have you been?

God no, we Humans tend to move forward not backwards. You like fc1 play fc1 then .

Allow to be able to make multiple playlist and save them so when you wanna play you dont have to keep scrolling through tons of maps to find what you wanna play

DLC option which the users create custom objects for example and rail gun out of various objects in the game and be able to save and upload it to the community so people can download it to put in there maps.

Be able to have more than one player at a time making a map like in Halo 3

instead of getting DLC maps that you make and sell, sell new map editor objects that we can add to our already overused collection of objects.
-New walls
-Buildings
-Textures
etc


i can go on, and make the budget much bigger, we do have harddrive with enough space, but thanx for asking what the users are looking for

What I hated most about Far Cry 2 :

Multiplayer : dead before it was ever alive .

Use the same entrance into a game as FC and Cod 4 . Waiting in a lobby is not the way forward , and single handedly destroyed multiplayer .

Bring back prone , and straffe ability .

Give a new player the same weapon choice as an old player . Ranking is frustrating for new players , and simply makes them stop playing .

Climbing is fun , and learning how to do it was a good part of the game . Bring it back .

Single player:

Focus more on content than on graphics . In comparison , Half life blows this game away for content , and is an old game . I want adventure , excitement , and fear when I play SP . FC2 lacked this .

Make sure your game is able to be played on most pc's without needing an upgrade .

The weather thing was great . Keep it .

Don't respawn dead people . It gets boring and unrealistic .

Hang gliders stay in the air in real life . Not float to the ground . Twice FC has failed to realise this .

FC2 enemies catching you up in their jeeps was a joke . Get real .

FC2 enemies all hearing you knife someone etc is a joke . Get real .

Planes , helicopters etc should be active , and useable .

A trained merc does not hurt himself jumping from a 6ft roof . Get real .

A trained merc can climb over a 6ft fence . Get real .

Repetition is something that is offputting . Are your game designers really lacking in ideas ?

Please don't call a game FAR CRY just to get sales , when it is NOT FAR CRY !
