What are your wishes for a third installment to the series?

1) Personally, I would like the next game to take place in an arctic area, hopefully northern Russia or Alaska maybe Europe.

2) I would like a very strong emphasys on "Survival": meaning, I would like the ability to hunt for food, fish, maybe even cultivate. Rock climbing or rapelling down mountains would be awesome. Using your surroundings as as your advantage should also be put. Maybe instead of relying on health packs or syringes we could use herbs with healing effects. Mud, leaves or twigs could be put on the player for a better camouflage. Building a shelter out of surroundings would be a great way to save a game at the end of a day if you can't find a cave to sleep in. The tomahawk should be the signature weapon since we had the knife and machete in the last games already, and the axe is better suited for this environment. It's a great weapon, but better yet, a better tool, for with it, you can cut wood to build that shelter I mentioned, or but wood to build a fire to cook the food required to survive. There should be a "hunger/thirst meter" that works independently from health meter. For those of you who've played Fallout 3, you would know how radiation can slowly increase rads in a "rad meter" that if filled to the max, your player would die from radiation, hence you use "rad aways" to keep your radiation level in check. In FarCry 3, you need to drink water, and feed in order to keep your hunger in check. The hunger meter rises after 1 day. If you fail to eat in a week, the meter will reach its max and you die from starvation. If you don't drink for 4 days, you die of dehydration. After a day of not having either, you will notice a an effect on the performance of your character. Maybe his vision gets blurrier from dehydration if you miss days of drinking, maybe his fatigue is greater if he doesn't eat after a day. These effects can get worse the longer you go without your essentials until you die from not consuming them.

3) One of the things I loved about FarCry 2 was how if you got too hurt, your perform these graphic animations of healing yourself, like remeoving bullets from your hands or popping a bone back to its place. Take this a bit further by having to actually perform surgery on yourself if you got too hurt. Taking a thorn and strings from a plant can make a needle and string. Use this to sew your wounds together in a minigame after removing an object from a wound.

4) Bring back the traps. While you stitch yourself from a wound or while you cook or sleep to gain energy, you can build a perimeter of traps around your camp to ward off enemies and alert you of their precense.

5) I would love the introduction of the bow to the game. Adding this awesome weapon to an arsenal that is hopefully as big or bigger than FarCry 2 would be excellect for stealth hunting and sniping enemies from behind a bush. I don't want to chase a deer with a shotgun.

6) Animals should also pocess a threat. Adding bears, cougars or wolves to the list of hostile enemies would make sense.

The things I mentioned would make a very intense sort of gameplay. The aspect or realistic survival and the fact that wild animals also pocess a threat, would make the gameplay an over-the-edge-of-seat type of gameplay. It would make things unpredictable and more challenging to the gamer. It's a bit of a more slow-paced for some people, but awesome for strategic/stealth gamers like me. To summarize the type of gameplay I want, just picture Man vs. Wild's Bear Grylls stuck in an arctic forest full of mercenaries and angry bears but with a huge arsenal of weapons at his disposal. This in my opinion, would be the ultimate survival game.

6)

don't like idea about catching food or having to eat al the time.

like the idia of being near the arctic and animals that could kill you.

Well, they have already confirmed Far Cry 3 to be located in Africa. They seemed to have made a commitment to the African setting.

i would like far cry 3 to not be made unless crytek does it.

i wish to have a binoculars instead of monocular and with a feature of zoom in and out. i wish to have this feature even in sniper scops. it will be very cool to see some big cats in action inside the game. also bow and arrow will help in stelth missions. it is very boring to see only full moon on each and every night. so i wish to have proper lunar cycle in the game and different AI for different cycle.

Superhero088, although that would seem like a great idea to heal through a mini-game, it will end up ruining the game. The healing methods from Farcry 2 are perfectly fine. If you think gathering items for surgery would be a good idea, try playing Bioshock (Where you have to gather items to create gadgets/ammo). The healing process should not interfere with the game for more than 5 seconds.
As far as the survival/feeding, that was the one thing that ****ed me off about GTA San Andreas, was the constant feeding which interrupted regular gameplay. Perfect example: The Malaria pills were a good touch at first, but after a few times of interruption, it got real annoying.

My hopes for Far Cry 3:

- WEAPON JAMS - Only have a few jam here and there, not all of them. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD have the enemy deal with jams too! I got so ****ed having a bad guy unload clip after clip at me and as soon as I pick up the gun, it jams.

- STEALTH - I hear arguments that some people think that the stealth is great. IT IS NOT. The devs should play SOCOM Navy Seals to understand the physics of stealth and detection. If I am creeping through thick bushes, I should not be able to be easily spotted. And the range of detection should be reduced when in cover.

- FIRE - Wildfires should be a lot more aggresive, these are the dry plains of Africa.

- AMMO LETHALITY - Take the number of bullets needed to kill a guy and divide it by 3. A three-shot burst from the AR should be all you need to kill a guy, not 10 shots.

If they fixed these issues, this game would rate a 10.

Two other issues I forgot.

- RESPAWNING OUTPOSTS - In the least, enemies in outposts should respawn after maybe half a day, not when you leave for 5 seconds.

- STEALTH (cont'd) - When you kill enemies with a dart rifle, machete or silenced weapon, the other enemies (Unless they witness it), shouldn't be alerted.

1. Modifiable weapons...For instance, you should buy an AR-15 with iron sights and a 30 round magazine. For extra diamonds, you could add a red dot sight, a scope, a silencer, an underbarrel grenade launcher that takes up the secondary weapon slot, or a larger magazine.

2. Missions where Buddies do more than revive you or lead you to an objective. Imagine you and an AI controlled squad of buddies attacking an enemy base.

3. The return of Jack Carver...He should be an unplayable character that plays a central role in the story. His look could be borrowed from Far Cry Instincts...I could imagine his bio. "Jack Carver has had a run-in with mercenary groups before his current assignment. His body is riddled with odd looking scars he covers with tattoos. Carver said it was caused by a car fire. Rumor has it that he was subjected to some crazy experiments on an island in the southern pacific that made him into an animal. Whether this is true or not, Carver is not the type of man you want to be in a quarrel with"

4. Some kind of quick-travel function.

5. NO MORE MALARIA.

6. Weapon jams should be kept in.

7. Civilians in urban settings and cease-fire zones.

1. Have a multiplayer mode for LAN so that you and up to 4 buddies can play the maps (with no storyline) with the AI bots enabled. So that you can drive around and own the roadblocks and towns heheh!

2. NO MALARIA FFS! TOTALLY OVER THAT SHIZZ

3. MORE WEAPONS (modern stuff, not blimin' makarovs dammit)

4. MORE ARMED VEHICLES (NO MORE BLIMIN JEEPS DAMMIT)

5. PLANES YOU CAN FLY!

6. HANGLIDERS THAT DONT JUST GO DOWN! WHAT IS A THERMAL UPDRAFT FFS! HELLO! ITS AFRICA!

7. CLIFFS YOU CAN CLIMB - SO MANY GOOD VANTAGE POINTS IN FC2 THAT YOU CANT GET TO! ARRGH!

8. PRONE MODE FOR SNIPING

9. ZOOM ON SNIPER SCOPES/BINOCULARS

A bit pointless as they never listened to what we needed in FC2, ie Assault mode and I for one refused to buy fc2 because of that and them not releasing a SDK.

So my wishes are Assault mode for MP and an SDK. Lack of an SDK and again, I wont buy it.

i actually like supers idea, hunting gathering, more realistic, but also set traps near ruts, or other stuff, and definitely shelter building, and wood cutting climbing and everything

Bring Back Crytek

And Give Us A Game That Has Something To
Do With The Original .. And Not Something That
Was Created And Released That Resembles GTA .
And Label Farcry2 ....

I am a South African gamer.I live close to nature.Far cry is one of the games that really caught my attention. I agree with the second firs post. There should be more survival techniques. Games can teach people things. Far cry takes place in the nature therefor there must be other life threatening things other than bad guys shooting at you. Lions attacking you etc.

Far cry is a great game

i love farcry2 please make a part 3 of farcry its the best game i ever played.

Far Cry 3 needs bots in multiplayer, at least in unranked maps ! There are so many maps, we can't play into all our maps without bots.
