Far Cry 2 patch to add 'Hardcore' multiplayer mode, rebalances weapons [update]

I don't know about PS3 and PC but the controls and multiplayer are horrid on 360. Compared to Call of Duty it is literally unplayable.

I still have to pick that game up, I should get on that.

Why won't they add quick save to the console versions?!

Bring back Predator mode and then we will be talking.

And there's still no fix for the corrupt saves in the Xbox 360 version. Weaksauce.

Will this patch cover the consoles as well? From what I read off their site, it only covers the PC version.

I hope they fix 3 major issues for Ranked Matches.

1) If the Host dose not push the ready button everyone has to wait until he/she pushes it to start the game. Even if we have 16 players and everyone has ready-up'ed, except the host, the game won't start. Sometimes I have to wait 15 minutes plus just for the game to start. Fix it to where if you have 12+ players and 3/4ths of them have ready-up'ed then the game will start regardless if the Host is Ready.

2) I hate it when hosts ban everyone on their team that is below level 10. They only do it to get all level 10+ players on his/her's team while the other team is full of low levels. Talk about balance...Fix it by semi-randomly placing everyone on a team at the beginning of a game. By "Semi-randomly" I mean, even amount of high and low leveled players on each team. No one is allowed to switch teams.

3) Stop kicking us at the end of every ranked match. I don't want to go through the load-screen-limbo to look for another game again.

Here's looking to the future....*drinks a beer*

I hope it also fixes the other problems with the game. Like how everyone gets kicked back to the main menu after every match and people's ranks going down after a period of unuse. Plus the problems in the main game, like guard posts that respawn enemies way too quickly, enemies being able to see you way too easy, plus the complaints from the Zero Punctuation review.

I haven't tried the Multiplayer yet. Still working on the sizable single player. I'm almost through. I think the game is fantastic. One of my favorite shooters I've played in the past few years. I'm surprised it hasn't been more popular.

It says right at the start of the post on ubi's site that the patch is for "all platforms"

I loved the single player in this game, but I never gave the multiplayer a try. Think I'll have to do just that, since a buddy of mine just picked it up.

Far Cry 2 is the shit, and anyone who says otherwise doesn't like good video games.

How about a fix to the save bug? I sold the game once I lost all my saves from that damn bug. I didn't know it existed until it was too late. I would get back into it if I knew I wouldn't lose my saves!

That would be nice!

They should patch all the problems with the single-player, such as the monotonous, dull missions, the guard posts that respawn too quickly, the convoys that go around in circles, the way everybody shoots at you, the lack of wildlife, the way you spend most of the game looking at a flashing green dot rather than the brilliantly-rendered world, that you don't know who you are or what your motivation is... and so on.

FC2 is amazing for a few hours but soon becomes laborious despite its massive potential. So it's a shame that a patch to fix all its single-player problems would come in at about 4Gb and be called "Far Cry 3".

This was one of the few games I sold back... I could get used to the guard post respawning and the litany of other issues, but the game-stopping bugs (where it wouldn't give you any more missions) was enough for me...

When will they fix the ranking system for PS3? I'm always dropping in rank.

I don't really know what everyone's talking about with the game's length. It honestly isn't that long. Other than that, I have zero interest in this patch as I have no inclination to play the multiplayer.

If only PS3 version had WASD/Mouse support. My PC runs it hardly at 16FPS, its sooo unplayable and i can't tolerate FPS on console besides Wii. Thye should do what EPIC did with UT3

What about the game itself!!!!???? Because shooting the bare chested or merely tank-top wearing enemy AI multiple times is beyond annoying... Not to mention that the check point re-spawns, inconveniently convenient Malaria attacks & ridiculous weapon damage is out of control unrealistic. I mean anyone?

This patch better fix the loss of XP
i,m sick of loseing it
there is no point even trying to get to level 30 with this bug >_<
i dont want a new game mode i want you to the fix the game!

yeah they reason why it looks like you only played 1or2 matches but really played 10 or 11 is cause the game doesnt save or whatever plus we lose or xp and even sometimes or level!
This patch better fix the loss of xp...... please ¬_¬

yippy its coming out on all platforms thats all well & good.... but WHEN!
