Is there anything in stone about multiplayer in Far Cry 2? Server size? Game modes? PB?

There is no real information about the multiplayer but here is what I'm positive about that there would be at least or exactly to 16 player limit and the returning of Chaos / Deathmatch.

And by popular demand, I'm sure that Assault will most likely return. I don't have doubt on that.

And by popular demand from the console players would be "Predator" where everybody is teamed up against 1 - 4 Predators (Predators are similar to nanosuits where you have speed and strength [High jumps too] but with heat vision, tearing out turrets [SP only], and health regeneration) players as the Mercenaries tries to activate the alarm to defunct the Predators and how the Predators have to eliminate every single mercenary (Respawns ONLY by killing a Predator) or wait until the time runs out to win. But I have doubts on this one since Far Cry 2 no longer supports fictional gameplay such as mutants and trigens.

What is Chaos, Assault, and Predator?

Do you think there will be a mod to increase the server size to 24 or 32?

Nothing is known about multiplayer, except that it exists.

I highly doubt there will be a predator mode, since there are no feral abilities or anything like that in FC2.

I already told you what Predator is, and Chaos is another term of "Deathmatch" to the console players. And Assault gives it away of two teams where one defends as the other assaults. Attackers win by capturing three enemy bases, defenders win until the timer runs out before having their bases captured.

I think it would be great from what i read in another forum to put computer controlled bots in multiplayer offline.

Thses have been accompanied in Perfect Dark Zero and Timesplitters which really made those games a heck of alot funner.

So i hope ubisoft listens to these ideas because the bots really bring a great escence into the gameplay for people that might not have xbox live.

I wonder if the MP aspect is soooo terrible, mebbe thats why not even a hint has come out about it so far?

I mean not even a blip on the radar besides saying there will be a mp mode.. which for all we know could end up being FC2 checkers online

I think bots would be great to because I don't have xbox live yet and then a game like this would be boring a lot faster.

you have space enough to make it not boring?
you can play the game again? but try a different tactic?
i dunno^^ think you got things enough ^^ but still yeh if you don't have internet(xbox live) it would be great to have bots in offline multiplayer

It depends,
When bots were the rage (around 2002) i was still young and loved them as somehow i'd never heard of online gaming.
These days pretty much no games have bots, besides in sandbox, or things like that, so i don't know what they were properly like.

Bots should just be included anyway, it's not gonna make the game any worse.

Bots these days are a lot smarter (A.I.) and levels aren't your average 50 metre canyon like in that red faction or watever it was.

yeah, I used to love bots in multiplayer, because i couldn't play online due to a 24k modem and download limits. I only properly discovered online multiplayer a year ago (jeez), and I've been playing games for ages. The thing is, bots totally work in a game like unreal tournament, where it's just a fragfest, no AI tactics involved other than varying amounts of strafing, bunnyhopping and pinpoint accuracy depending on what difficulty you set.

But bots get very old very fast in games like Battlefield, where they are meant to work as a team in a large environment, which is similar to what FC2 would be like I would think. They just can't compete even nearly with actual humans.

Having said that, FC2 is meant to have really good adaptive AI. Seeing as we're gonna be able to make our own maps and drop enemies into them, that's pretty much bot behaviour, right? So it should be able to be done. I'll settle for playing humans though.

they should make it so you can place bots in map editor and there should be a game type where a player team has to kill them all.

From the CheatCC Far Cry 2 Preview:

"There is still no word on online features, though Ubisoft says all of the single-player features of the game will be available in multiplayer. All the single player technical features are present in multiplayer mode, what you destroy in SP, you can destroy in MP. Far Cry 2 multiplayer features all the modes people love to play and more."

is far cry 2 going to be 2 to 4 players offline
Hope so thats the only reason i bought the old

I got a feeling that preview was a mix together of facts from other sites, rather then them getting an actual look at the game .

Therefore when they say no MP info is released yet, I'm not surprised. Haven't seen any info about it either.

Im starting to have doubts about whether or not the multiplayer is going to be very good because the gmae is about 2 months from release and there are still no details. After i got cod4 nearly every game online is just boring, i just hope far cry 2 can give cod4 a run for its money.

Not even a a smidgen of info.... not so much as the smallest of small facts about it, definitely weird to me

the game is not about 2 months from release. what made u think that?
its likely to come out at late october or even december.

it's tremendously unlikely to have bots on the MP. having the AI understand the terrain is a REALLY difficult part to program. ppl think u just put AIs on the map and that is it. IT ISNT. programmers need to work for day on end to get the AI to learn to navigate the map, to know what is cover and what isnt and where they can and cant go. it's relly complicated.
UBI will most definitely not put that effort into this. mark my word. no chance.
also clint hackong said the editor will not allow u to place AIs. this re-enforces my claim that its too complicated to be done with an user friendly editor and without proper work effort.
