Thinking about picking up Farcry 3....but how's the multiplayer?

Just curious because I almost never buy a single player game. In most cases I have to really like the multiplayer....is it any good?

It's on sale on STEAM for $37.49....

Only played a few matches but it's pretty fun. It's standard stuff though...all your basic MP modes with some small twists. There's COD style unlocks and stuff like that. Honestly though would not recommend Far Cry 3 for it's MP alone. Get it for the SP and consider the MP as a bonus.Renevent42

It's solid but it doesn't have very many features, there are only 3 or 4 modes: Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Domination, and FireStorm. I wish it had more variety, but the map maker is awesome so I guess that kind of makes up for it.

The co-op is also fun but it's not open world like the single player.

Multiplayer sucks but the singleplayer is fantastic. In all honesty though I would have liked a real COOP mode (full campaign like Dead Island, Total War Shogun2, Saints Row3,etc..) instead of the versus multiplayer stuff.

Top 3 game of this year imo

hmmm...I have not played Decieved or Borderlands 2 either. Would you guys say that FC2 is better than those?

The multiplayer is subpar and extremely linear. Nothing at all special about it, and the single player while being very good is not spectacular. There are tons of better games. The story is good, and the acting is compelling, but between exploration, taking radio towers and camps, etc it kind of seems convoluted and broken. Sticking with the story though, I did particularly enjoy the acting and the game is beautiful and exploration can at times be fun.. But, you have to keep in mind it is the same franchise, Far Cry.. It plays just like any other Far Cry game that I have played, with a better story somewhere in the mix. If you enjoyed previous Far Cry games, pick it up.. It's definitely the best Far Cry yet, and the acting in the game really is incredible.

Edit: I also wanted to point out that the menu is a total clusterfk, it's clunky, inconvenient and all around annoying. I think the menu could have been far better, especially considering the crafting mechanics.

I got it, the single player is really awesome so far. Actually brings me back the feeling I first had when I started up Farcry 1 years ago.

Coop is pretty fun though

"One simply does not buy Far Cry 3 for the Multiplayer..."

Haven't even touched the multiplayer. The single player is just too much fun. :P

I almost never buy a single player game.

I think people have a right to play multiplayer games only if that's what suits them. Beyond that, what you say is rubbish anyways. Plenty of games still have great SP campaigns even if they have MP added on, even more there are plenty of SP only games.Renevent42

SP only games sell well and review well all the time, so do games with great SP that also have some sort of MP as well...there's really nothing to agree/disagree with.

Don't play Far Cry 3 for multiplayer, it's way too laggy : (

Well in most cases I do not enjoy single player games....I don't buy things I don't like.

Bought deluxe edition for £25, played ~1 hour.

Shot a pig in the face and made a wallet.

Game is clearly 10/10 for that alone.

I look forward to trying MP
