What do you want in Far Cry's Multiplayer section? | Forums

[XyZspineZyX]

I would like
1) Artificial Intelegence with 3 or more difficulty settings

2) About 20 Maps to choose from (can be added later in MODs of course!)

3) 4 Teams you can be on (dosent matter if it's only 2)

4) Capture The Flag (or other object), teams bring enemies flags t their base.

5) Hold the flag (or other object), this is where you are picked on if you are holding the flag, the player who has held it the most wins.

6) Vehicles so you can drive your team mates around, shooting the enemy.

7) Perhaps Split-Screen support, like a console. For controllers, there are xbox adaptors at www.lik-sang.com, you could use xbox controllers and the mouse and keyboard on one single PC.

8) /\ /\ /\ Network AND split screen support like Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and Serious Sam.

9) Custom game types like Halo

10) For low band-width users disable certain features like destructable terrain (thanks to Telsta I can ONLY get 28kbps no 56k no ADSL, and i'm P'd off)

one thing that i don't want is vehicles, think they ruin the good fun in using all the neat weapons bf1942 sux cuz of planes etc.. i for one don't want em in mp gaming, maybe transport vehicles could be something.. but not any kind of vehicles with weapons..

also i want the good ol crosshair, maybe an option to use some realistic ironsights etc, but lets face it in real life you don't spawn so adding realism in things like iron sights etc is just silly.. but that's just my opinion tbh.. well hopefully far cry will prove to be a great mp game, cuz i haven't seen on for a very long time..

Maybe you could have options for transport vehicles and weapon mounted vehicles, so you could turn them off if you like. Perhaps you could choose whether you wanted weapons mounted on your vehicle!

wow sounds good NRG!!

i like the split screen idea!


i think multiplayer misions would be cool. Like different objectives to do aswell as kill each other.

With landscapes detailed as these, there is alot of dynamic gameplay to be created. Mabey a mode where teams go searching for treasure or weapons. trying to get it before the other team does. Teams would shoot eachother of course if they saw one another...


To keep the mystory of the vast environments, random factors could make people wonder where the other teams are. There could be lots of bases on the map, and each match the teams would start at a different one. The base where they started would have mounted weapons and equipment.

Perhaps you could even cary mounted weapons to other sites, and CREATE bases in other places too. That would be cool to make little bunkers hidden in the forrest. You could move your spawn point around to keep your team hidden and working as a team...


heh heh.. i think dynamic multyplayer gameplay would be sweet.

gametypes are awsome !!!

Yeah they should add that too

Cool that would be unique, but how would you build your bases, to be realistic it would take you ages, and the enemy would have shot you while you were mixing cement!!!
Mabye just claiming bunkers that are already designed in to the map is a better idea. I like stradegy games and FPS games, but do people want them mixed?

In order of what I want most

1) Lots of dedicated servers and enough of a solid PR job before release so there are a lot of people playing
2) 64 player server capacity
3) Optimized netcode - As good netcode as possible.
4) Make anti-cheat efforts

How about night mode, that would be awesome. Have a flahlight in one hand and a gun in the other, and for snipers you could have night-vision!

I dont know lots about the outdoor lighting system, but i think its pritty advanced. There could be lots of cool things done with lights.


big flood lights... maby ai could controll big lights from towers... etc...

[XyZspineZyX]
