Things to include in the multiplayer | Forums

[snake_baby88]

HI everyone I would like to talk about FC3's multiplayer; partly because I was a massive fan of it pn FC2 and there is also the off chance that developers may actually pay attention to what is requested.
Firstly I would say that the multiplayer on FC2 was pretty good in terms of action, epic moments and community. However, it got held back by:
Frequent server issues(games cant connect or whole system is offline. So fix your servers please!
Lack of game modes (Only four is nothing compared to COD etc)
Can't join mid-game(Losing players quit to save XP and you end up fighting only two people against eight as new players can't join).
Host can kick whoever they like (Sick of getting banned by D**Ks for playing well aka Sir Heymann).
Guns need to be better balanced (everybody just uses the heavy machine gun)
XP leveling system is way too high (Takes about 500 hours to reach max rank and leads to losers creating rooms to boost)

Apart from these aforementioned things I would like to see a more environmetally interactive combat experience, where jumping on, hiding behind and blowing up things can done.

Does anyone else have any ideas or want to talk about it?

Hey I agree with your wish list for Far cry 3.

Few things more

-Report player, just look at the leaderboards lol
-No option for the host to ban players as it was misused to ban the better players on the opposite team just so the host team could win.(this ruined the game in my opinion and why there's hardly any player's online anymore)
.-Though if it remains have an option to Report Host if they abuse the ban player option
-Even teams, on FC2 team stacking was awful, all high ranks against low ranks.

I agree that multiplayer needs a big improvement over fc2. I personally liked the xp leveling up system in fc2, it was unique and only the best (until boosters arrived) made it to level 30, I only made it to 23. It separated the good players and the noobs that make it to the top rank like in cod games. I hope they don't change that. There does need to be a report player button, but there is so much bad blood on ps3 from fc2, that it would get abused quickly. There does need to be a limit on banning people, but there still needs to be a ban button because people should be banned if they are verbally abusing someone in the lobby. I used to get banned just because I was in the best clan on fc2, even if I was on another name, Team stacking was bad, but some of it was due to clans, like the one i'm in. I do hope there is no way to quickscope on fc3. Servers need to be better, and they should be. Joining in-game is absolutely necessary. They need to keep CTD and vehicles in mp. The host should not have a clear advantage in the ability to kill people quicker than everyone else. I also like how you could kill someone many different ways in fc2, such as ammo piles, fire, explosions, vehicles, machete, and shooting them. I could go on for hours about how to improve fc2 mp for fc3, but I wont.

Yep I agree, CTD&vechicles should be included in FC3. As for the leveling up it took forever after rank 15 lol, but it also made players jump to the better team just for more XP.
Lol quickscoping can be a pain but I don't think it can be stopped. But I think they are leveling out the weapon classes and you can custom classes now aswell. Also there is join in progress, you wouldn't believe how annoyong it was playing 4 against 8. There has to be a balanced lobby or you will get player's leaving if they are getting pawned because they are against a more experinced team, yep understand players want to play with mates/clans.
But my biggest issue was with the host able to ban whoever they wanted to and that created sooo much bad blood between player's. I agree that people who are bad mouthing can be a problem but mute is just as easy.I really hope that there is no option for ban player as it was seen as "Get good, get banned".
But I think they will get it right with FC3....(hopefully lol)

Players somewhat went to more experienced teams, i always liked playing against the good teams until I got in a clan. but the stacked teams were friends usually. Friends don't want to play against friends. I think quickscoping can be pretty much stopped, it stunk in fc2, it didn't exist. I knew 3 people on ps3 that could halfway do it. Good! glad join in progress exists. i liked 4 v 8 cause that meant more kills, but its when it was 2 v 4 is when it was annoying for me. yeah, some people will leave lobbies, but noobs dont care, and the experienced players wont play other experienced payers, because they are scared to lose. I agree, my clan leader banned alot of people, but most of the time it was because those people absolutely hated us, so we didnt even want them in the lobby. They were that mean of people. Bad mouthing is one thing, but tirades and hurtful thigns are too much to just mute someone. oh believe me, i got banned alot because i was so good on fc2. also banning helps if there is a bad lagger or a lag switcher. I just think there needs to be a ban button, but a limit on it, idk how though, lol.

My wishes for multiplayer are:

1. No way for a host or a clan/group to control the server. Banning, kicking, voting, etc. No vote to kick or banning function. It leads to abuse. Remember no Human(s) can be trusted with authority.

2. A party system, so it would be easier to play with friends.

3. Pump-action shotguns being useful via being one-hit kill between 0-15 meters.

4. Bolt-action snipers also one-hit kill in the vitals.

5. My guns to fire bullets, not nerf darts.

6. Guns to feel like they do in real life. Recoil, bullet spread, mag capacity, fire selecter swtich correct. Guns close to to real life, but balanced to fit a video game.

There is more, but I do not feel like making a long list.

- they need to put vehicles back in the game, (and fire the guy making all these terrible decisions)

- they need to add weapon placements back in the game, (it adds reason and reward to explore maps, creates hotspots, unique /hidden areas/etc, as well as allowing more diversity/unique map possibilities)

- they need to add underwater combat (it only helps imo)

- they should add evolutions back for custom maps (it does not matter that it doesn't relate to campaign, custom maps are there for fun.

- they need to add co-op mapmaking, (why not allow us to make maps with friends? seriously its not hard to figure out)

- they need to show the original author so that people aren't taking maps that you've put a lot of time and effort into and telling everyone they made it.
(just have " - Original Author [Name]
- Revised by [Name]"


Unfortunately, none of these will be put in, and Its extremely disappointing/somewhat surprising that Ubisoft can continue to take the custom multiplayer down even further. At least there are other games out there.
