Farcry multiplayer...

[Doppelgofer]

hi....i wasn't fortunate enough to get the multiplayer beta, theres no official multiplayer demo and i dont have the game. what is the multiplayer like? the idea of long distance sniping after playing operation flashpoint on massive islands sounds really appealing to me

Not as good as you might think. Bluntly, I don't like it.

I played FarCry on a lan and it was great, so I bought it. Unfortunatly, however, the online play just didnt have a good feel to it.

Plays better then Doom 3, not as good as UT2k4, but nothin beats the Source engine for online play.

Its good mp, problem is it died just like doom 3 did :/

I liked it but its not the kind of MP im going to play night after night. Its more like you play for an hour get bored and then in a week or so come back for more.

So whats the problem with FarCry MP then? Is it the controls, or is there lots of lag, or just the feeling of movement, or that the maps can be so big, or limited number of players (what is its limit btw?)

for me the reason i didnt like it was simply the multiplayer is sooooo laggy

 

[destrukt]

it's fun.

nothing like running around monkey bay doing flip in the boats while shooting you friends.

Latency issues. LAN was good fun.

The stats never lie. Not enough people playing to even warrant a listing!

If the movement is anything like the sp i can see why it failed dismally.
