I think that if we look today at FarCry servers and the amount of players still playing FarCry, a 4 year old game...gives us a idea about how good it´s multilayer was and still is.
Crysis, I really can't say it was disappointing, I was expecting it already, now about FarCry 2 my expectations are really high, and I guess everyone that is still playing FarCry is thinking the same.

In TAW we still have our FarCry Division, we don't have 120 members like in past, but we still manage to have around dedicated 50 members that come to our mandatory practices and enjoy FC Assult, with our 6 different squads.

I wish UBI does not disappoint us, we are hoping to build up again the largest division in our community (TAW).

Everyones envited by the way

Wait, is assault like predator? Because predator is the only reason I played farcry.

Assault is a very simple to understand multiplayer mode, and also gives us a lot of fun and good competition. Also makes the action more concentrated and all team players focus with the same objective.

Assault is simple:

Each assault map has (usually) 3 Flags, that each team (red and blue) will have to defend and capture.

Map loads...you can select either Blue or Red, lets imagin you have selected red team...
Your first objective is to run to the 1st flag and capture it, to do that you have to walk on the flag small area, that activates the flag, the blue team (that is defending) has some seconds to walk on the flag area to deactivate it, if they fail to do that the flag will be captured by RED team.

If red team captures flag 1, next objective is to capture flag 2, and then 3.
If RED captures all 3 flags the game turns, and then Blue team will atack and RED team defends, same story.

If Red does not capture the 3 flags (or even any flag) in the map limit, the game will also turn, and so same thing Red will defend Blue will attack this time.

You have 3 Classes of player that you can choose:

1- Sniper
2- Engineer (Builds walls, miniguns, towers, gates...can have bombs to destroy the same walls, gates, bridges..., or medic packs that he can use to distribute to their team mates when they are heart.
3- Grunt (or heavy) Heavy fire power, this is the most common class.

I personally love FarCry Assult mode for its simplicity, but yet gives us enormous possibilities to use different tactics, its easy to understand, and to play. just load the map, select a team and bamm action begins.

This assault mode is also very interesting to play tournaments, and the matches aren't to much long.

I would describe it as:

Simple, Easy, Objective, Fun, Brilliant

If you don't have the original FarCry for PC, and you have a PC, I would recommend you to buy it and try it out, it's worth specially for the price that you can buy it this days.

Have you signed the petition Dealer?

+1 for the assault mode.
Played for sZ and we loved far cry dearly till about 3 months ago we were still pretty active.
now we are waiting for FC2 and the assault mode especially

=sZ= Mcfeeg!e

I have already signed this but now I have played the PC verison and understand why pople want Assault! Its awesome!

Yes Assault is a unique gamemode which worked perfect for the open level structure in Far Cry. I truly hope Ubisoft realises that with this gamemode they have potential gold in their hands.

I don't mind renewal but keeping some of the old in that already works perfectly shouldnt hurt no one is my thought.

idd, the release of fc2 will really make or break ubi in a lot of peoples eyes.
there is a lot of demand for assault, and it was considerably popular in fc considering how poorly the game was made (which is the reason 99% of people stopped playing it).
If you winning a race, u dont start running backwards.
Call of Duty discovered search & destroy.
It was immensly popular (like assault)
They put it in cod2, it was still a major hit
They put it in cod4, its more popular than ever

As well as S&D they experimented with other game types (CTF , HQ , DOM , SAB) which is all fine, because people still get their beloved SD but now have the chance to try out new gametypes, if they work im sure activision will carry them on.

My point is, sure, give us new game types, dont put all your eggs in 1 basket. But thats no reason to risk it all on something new which probably wont work (statistically speaking how many 'new' gametypes actually get popular first time?) when you already have something that will sell games and get customers for future titles

Is this new hope that an Assault mode or at least comparable mode is included in Far Cry 2:

"As for the multiplayer component, Amancio noted that it will have plenty of modes, with a class-based component likely to play a part."

Depends how you interpret the rest of what he said m8

As for the multiplayer component, Amancio noted that it will have plenty of modes, with a class-based component likely to play a part. He also went into detail on the game's expansive multiplayer map editor, which will also be included on the console version along with a map rating system a la LittleBigPlanet. Users can download maps straight to their console hard drives.

"It will also ship with a level editor. And the level editor, I can tell you, it's probably going to be the most powerful level editor of this generation. One thing Instincts did really well is that it shipped a really cool level editor on console. Our level editor is in that vein, but next level. It's really powerful. We basically give you the same tools that we have to create this game.
So I think the maximum map size is half a square kilometer, which is huge.

0.5KM2 is not huge for an Assault map.

I hope there is simply confusion on how area is measured here, since in another interview its stated that the world map is 25KM by 25KM, which is 625KM2 not the 50KM2 stated in many other interviews.

FarCry without Assault Mode don't have any fun for us, so if Farcry 2 don't will have Assault mode... Believe me, this game DON'T WILL BE A BEST SELLERS any more, I have many farcry players on my clan (geforceelite.com) and they always say the same "If this new release of FarCry don't coming with Assault mode I don't will buy it!!!".

Thinking well dear development team, I'm sure that you will lost to sell many copy of this game for this reason!

I'm tell it in the name of all FarCry community!

Regards for all...

The entire world you will play in is around 50 square KM, which is divided into two (hence where the 25 KM comes from). As far as the map size stated in that interview, I'll get some clarification so sit tight!

Still sitting tight...

Thats an important ppoint you already made though Kimi, there is a significant difference between 50 square KMs and 50KMs square...

The FC2 world just got a whole lot bigger!

This is becoming confusing

So are we getting 0,5 KM square or the other way around
