I haven't seen a far cry 4 thread yet so sorry if there's an echo...
Far Cry 3 had a lot of map maker problems and in conjunction of the multiplayer, the game didn't last as long as Far Cry 2 did. SO, I wanted to throw in my two cents as to what I'd like to see with far cry 4's editor and multiplayer.
---
- bring the vehicles back so I can put them on my maps. They should have never been taken away to start,
- the waterfalls were, meh. If we could be given more freedom with waterfalls, such as putting water on a high place, make a drop with a valley tool, and have the water fall off an edge, that would be more of what players had in mind. Instead we were give preset waterfalls. I'd rather the developers say, "we can't do that with current technology,, unless we just put in presets."
- the way to make tunnels were pretty rough and were practically unusable. You could overlay the inside of a tunnel with rocks sure, but you still gotta place rocks everywhere around you so you don't see or fall into nothing. and the rocks will stick through the other side when trying to make ceilings or walls. Why even bother? Is there another way? - Maybe make a specific polygon with the ability to delete the middle and have the insides already designed, without sacrificing space? It could even just be a
preset and you could include all kinds of features and looks to make the tunnel look unique to itself.
- color pallet for the objects. and/or texture pallets for the objects. Doesn't have to be everything. But I'd like to see it with things like walls, doors, leaves, and really small things for detail, like sticks, tires and signs, so we can be more free with the things we make.
- I'm unaware of how the rest of the community feels about the interface and controls of the map maker, but to me they were awful. I didn't publish or continue a single map simply because I hated using the map maker in 3. If you all wouldn't mind, I'd like a FC2 based map editor. for example, in 3, I had to press two to three buttons just to undo, which something I use a LOT.
- The maps in the multiplayer were way too small and lacked an open-world feeling that you could more effectively achieve with a far cry 2 map. each game mode became a deathmatch, without the deathmatch mode available to play. In FC4, please make the multiplayer maps slower-paced like in FC2. I don't particularly like Call of Duty and we already have enough COD games. :( I like to enjoy my time feeling like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando or Predator.
- Gimme back my m-249!!!!
- get rid of the body armor attachment. Everyone ends up wearing it, so if I want to play multiplayer and stand a chance, I'm forced to as well. Or you could just make the body armor something everyone wears when they reach a certain level, so I don't have to waste a slot of what i want in my equipment.
- please include snow. Or just make a texture pallet that's white and we can make lumps everywhere
- please make it so my multiplayer character in the story theme isn't, "this side or that." I know UFLL and APR were also sides, but i always felt like a hired mercenary. I didn't really have a sense where my character was from because in the story you played both sides and were just like, "whatever it's all about me." It was left up to my imagination. But in FC3, I knew where I stood and who my character was. I was disinterested in that, though i know that probably wasn't what the development team was going for.
- aside from that the co-op was really fun. so a longer co-op would be great. keep the mini-games also please. a lot of people complained about it, but it's a lot of fun if you make it fun, usually by playfully taunting your friends or being a good sport about losing. hell, sometimes I would grab a package in the dirt bike mini-game, and ride around in circles, pissing everyone off trying to steal it from me lol.
- in FC4, i don't want to play as some little dweeb with rich parents. I'd rather play someone like the brother who got shot in the head 5 minutes into the game, who would most likely be the only dude who would survive and have a chance to save the others.
- no bittersweet endings please. Far Cry is notable for having endings that suck.Every other Far Cry besides instincts, you're like, "what does it matter I'm ****ed no matter what I do."
- a universal ranking chart for active clans in order from greatest to least. That way we can easily have clan matches and all that. we don't have to search through the grapevine. It would make things fair also, so one side won't be outclassed and predestined to lose the match.
