To all of you,

We would like to apologize for the server downtime.

It took us time to fix the issue with our data server and meanwhile the issue prevent you from enjoying the map sharing feature of Far Cry 2.

As a way to apologize we decided to increase the map limits that users can share to 20 for all of you.

Once again we are sorry for the inconvenience and we want to thank you for your patience.

Thanks

great! im sure another problem that people will complain about will arise soon but at least they may be temporarily appeased.

Thanks for reposting it here Brim.

So my question is... If you already had more than 10 map slots, did your amount of slots increase to thirty, or remain at twenty? No big deal if it does, I got plenty of room, but just curious.

I'm pretty sure that it just raised everyone's limit to 20 across the board. Rather than try to determine who should get extra slots and creating a lot of controversy, they just decided to give everyone extra slots.

This is really good!

Finally, you guys did something right! Thank you!

Widow is back with his rap on the fact that everyone got there 20 stack.

It took a while and alot of bile but in the end there was a smile.

Now we sit and bask in the awsomeness of ubi and thank them on how well they treat the community.

It shouldnt take a UBI fault to give us all what we want but now its here there will be cheer and lots of love from your fan club.

WOW!!! lol. At least you took the time to say thanks.

I'd like to say thanks for the extra slots. I know you didn't have to give everyone these slots, so that I'm gratful for. I'll probobaly never get around to using them, but I know many will, so Thanks again !!!

I wish there would be increase in available vehicles as well. 3 cars for each team on huge map is too little - people complain that there are not enough vehicles. I think there should be at least 8 vehicles per team.

And what about "Fortune Pack" vehicles, why we cannot use them on our custom maps?

Would be nice if anyone can play on "Fortune Pack" maps even if he does not have "Fortune Pack". Allowing only "Fortune Pack" owners to host those maps... Because now I just don't normally play those maps, because most of the players get kicked from the server right away when I choose "Fortune Pack" maps.

thanks ubi! : )

Personally I think this is a very bad move. Giving people twice as many slots only means there will be twice the crap. There are WAY too many people that think they have to fill these slots just cause they have em. I preferred giving proven editors more slots, though there were many editors who deserved more and didnt get em.

YEAH!!!! Now that's what I'm talking about baby!!!! Finally!! Thank you Ubisoft!! I've been trying to get this for the community since day one! Now everyone has an equal share to create their masterpieces and nobody feels like a fifth wheel! Thank you!!!!

how exactly does it affect anyone if a bunch of 10 year olds or unimaginative 30 year olds publish lame maps? unless you randomly download maps off the recently published list hoping for something decent it really changes nothing for anyone in a negative way.

theres ways to easily separate the wheat from the chaff when searching for maps.

its not like "twice the crap" slows down the server, or the game play so what exactly is the problem?

i think its great cus hosts arent limited to a 10 map rotation, mappers dont have to decide which map has to get the axe in order to make room for something new (as quickly) and it saves UBI the headache of having to decide who "deserves" more slots and having to deal with the constant B****ing and crying about who thinks they deserve them and why didnt i get them wah wah wah....

great move in my opinion

there are so many minimalist maps, that even of you double their number it would probably not change much things. it's already pure luck to randomly find a good map.
