New maps on the servers!

ASSAULT

• mp_2v2_harbour - This small map sees very fast action on and around a freighter. Not to be confused with mp_2v2_harbor.
• mp_2v2_surfassault
  
• mp_2v2_surfassault_v2 - You can't go wrong with these well-made Assault versions of the classic FFA map.
  
• mp_2v2_nightbattle - The map with the shortest viewing distance you have ever seen in a FC map...
  
• nrw_afrika_korps - The excalitrone version of this great African flavoured map by Uwi had issues on LR servers with its interactive elements. This newly uploaded version offers the same fun but removes the incompatible stuff. If you enjoyed nrw_matmata or nrw_gulf_of_cry, this map will be right up your alley!
  

TDM

• mp_HeTennis - A very funny and unique gameplay idea for a quick tennis match between 2 or more players. A map like no other in our library.
  

FFA

• CounterStrike - Yep, you know exactly which one this is...
  
• mp_buggyduel - No weapons on this vast map other than vehicles and grenades. Good driving and aiming skills are a necessity!
• mp_lemon - A fast moving and well-designed map à la mp_radio, ideal for fewer players.
  
• mp_meltdown - Another small FFA map set on an island, with lush vegetation in the typical FC style .
  

FFA/TDM

• mp_devilstower - There is quite a bit to discover on this expansive island map dominated by the impressive Devil's Peak mountain.
  
• mp_fartress - Don't worry, no bowel movements await you on this one. Unless the tense action in this arena map upsets your stomach!
  
• mp_red_rover - A spaceship, futuristic machinery and vast alien landscapes -- in short, another fabulous looking map by ToeTag. Can you find the "2001 - A Space Odyssee" reference?
  

FIXED

Speaking of ToeTag: His mp_no_scope FFA map unfortunately used to get players kicked from our servers. This is now fixed. You will be offered a new download. Give this really entertaining map another shot, it is absolutely worth it!

All servers are updated, have fun everyone!

Sign-up for the Afterwork Cup and the Anniversary Cup is still open till Saturday, 16th of March (20:00 CET).
Don't wait too long or there will be no cake left for you!

Ach Uwi, erzähl uns nix, das sind doch Fotos und keine Screenshots!

20 Jahre rum, kaum zu glauben! Freu mich schon sehr, wenn du deine neuen Maps parat hast. Ich würde auch vorschlagen, dass du sie erst in kleinem Rahmen mit uns testest und dann zum Jubiläum feierlich vorstellst. Alles Nähere sollten wir bald einmal besprechen, Krieger hat dich ja schon diesbezüglich angeschrieben. Komm am besten einfach mal bei uns ins Teamspeak.

Bis hoffentlich demnächst!

We wish all our players a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

We hope you are still having as much fun playing Far Cry as we do, and on behalf of everyone involved with the LRv3 add-on we want to thank every single one of you for your continuing support and your companionship. Enjoy wonderful holidays with your loved ones and take in the special atmosphere of these precious days!

Maybe you will find some quiet moments to reminisce about all those glorious flag captures you had in 2023. Or you simply follow Jack Carver's lead and party hard this year — put on your cozy sweaters, sip a hot cup of tea with a lacing of rum and have fun unwrapping your surprise gifts:

Your LRv3 Tea(m)

🎁 🎁 🎁 You didn't really think we would leave you without presents this year, did you? 🎁 🎁 🎁

It's not quite X-mas yet, but Santa has sent a few maps via express delivery to shorten the time until the big festivities. Give it up for his poor tired reindeer!

ASSAULT

• mp_bloodbath - Because what says Christmas better than murder and mayhem? A well-made and very interesting map like no other in our library. The strange futuristic setting offers 7 flags that are not really flags. Wait, what?
• mp_maze - Whoever finds the hidden bases first wins! Don't worry, you can always ask our resident map designer [WicKeD] NowWhat for directions.
• mp_2flags - This fairly big 2-flagger by our member [WicKeD] BosAap is best suited for more players and ideal for some relentless car action.
• mp_advanced_island - A well-designed medium-sized map à la mp_pureassault and fcmp_basic. Many of us will feel right at home here.
• fcmp_oilstation - A solid entry from the fcmp map pack that starts off on a mountain before moving into an industrial complex and a village by the sea.
• mp_2on2_container - Straight-forward action awaits you in this massive container depot, similar to nnc_hallfight_assault.
• mp_2on2_house - Look past the garish colours in this one and you will enjoy some fast gameplay amidst several abandoned houses.
• mp_freighter_snow
• mp_winter_chill - With the holidays drawing near, these 2 maps will certainly help you to get in that wonderful Christmas mood. The latter not only has custom objects and textures but also Val guest starring as Snow White for good measure.

Quite a nice selection for the Assault crowd. But don't worry, we did not forget about those of you who also enjoy a good FFA or TDM fight:

FFA or FFA/TDM

• mp_iced - The winter theme continues with this ice-cold map by prolific map maker Toe Tag, appropriately set in a giant freezer. Can you defrost the pick-up weapons before your enemies do?
• mp_club_dead - If you are tired of the cold temperatures and all the snow, why not book a holiday in this sunny Club Med resort? It has seen better days, but with all the people shooting at you, you won't have time to file for a refund.
• mp_sultanbeach - Or you could ask your travel agency about a trip to the gorgeous beaches of this archipelago. Sure, it's a tourist trap, but do climb that humongous stone building for some sniping while you are there!
• mp_tomb - A spooky map by Slim Fast with some interesting texture and detail work. Too late for Halloween unfortunately, but always worth a look.
• mp_ZEN - Meditation and contemplation won't get you far in this medium-sized arena map. Since weapons are a bit scarce, you better act and move fast!

🎁 🎁 🎁 Don't be shy, unwrap your gifts now and enjoy playing with your new toys. 🎁 🎁 🎁

All servers are updated, have fun!

The more the merrier! Let us all welcome 14 new maps in our mapspace and on our game servers:

ASSAULT

• mp_2v2_gladiator - A bright and straightforward arena map whose high energy setup will liven things up in our popular 2v2 corner for sure.
• mp_3house - You remember that great single-player level with all the treehouses and trigens? If you do, this large 3-flagger will make you feel right at home.
• mp_forto - An erupting volcano sets the scene for this cold and grim looking post-apocalyptic/sci-fi map. Everything but the kitchen sink, but if you look around long enough, who knows, you might even find a kitchen sink!
• mp_sanctuary - A vast map by v1rtu in the more traditional FC look, best suited to more players.
• mp_samui - Another big jungle map in the classic FC style. If you like eu_temple or mp_to_ruins you will certainly have a warm and fuzzy déjà vu.
• mp_district - The 3rd and final creation from the magnificent urban mini-mappack. A well-designed map similar to mp_fuel and mp_concrete, set in a derelict city and in a subway station with lots of custom objects and textures. Which all had to be relinked one by one by one by one in order to make this map playable again... Read up on it in my upcoming book "When Masochism Pays Off".
• mp_isegarena - A small and stripped-down assault map with a lot of fast-moving action similar to mp_2v2_cage. Also a good choice for sniper battles. Even if you play FC on your pocket calculator you might break the 500 fps barrier on this one.
• mp_isegarena_final - Essentially the same map as above but with some additional tweaks. Give both versions a shot!

FFA/TDM

• mp_rock - Merry-go-round is the name of the game on this medium-sized island map with a giant mountain in its center.
• mp_sunset - A strikingly beautiful and well-balanced map that packs a lot in its small to medium size island setting.

FFA

• mp_atlantis - ToeTag is at it again with this giant, gloomy, somewhat otherworldly FFA map.
• mp_rock2 - This map was originally also named mp_rock, but had to be renamed because of the other map of the same name. A smallish, but very interesting island with several interactive elements. Not all of them are 100% multiplayer compatible, but you will certainly have fun luring your enemies into some of the traps.
• mp_slims_island - A small map on an idyllic island dominated by a hollowed-out mountain. Ideal for a fast and unrelenting action quickie.
• mp_sniper_island - A sunny medium-sized archipelago that will please snipers as well as more adventurous gunslingers.

All servers are updated, have fun!

Don't forget, only a few days left!

20 more maps available!

Maverick's CTF conversion ctf_battlefield is live now. Also new to the servers are the FFA/TDM maps mp_morgue_sniper (one of ClosedCasket's earliest creations) and mp_pax (by Jaccobart). Go check them out!

And since a few players have asked about this and Monsieur Icebreaker brought it to our attention again, we also added all the Far Cry standard maps to our mapspace, the original ones as well as the updated px versions from the 1.4 patch. Anyone with a fresh install of the game will have these anyway, but no more worries if you messed up your levels folder or modified and saved these maps in the editor by accident. We got you covered!

mp_airstrip / mp_px_airstrip

mp_cliffside

mp_dam / mp_px_dam

mp_dune / mp_px_dune

mp_freighter / mp_px_freighter

mp_jungle / mp_px_jungle

mp_mangoriver / mp_px_mangoriver

mp_monkeybay

mp_monkeybay_n

mp_radio mp_surf

This batch of uploads also means that we finally cracked the 800 barrier, bringing the total number of maps in our mapspace to 815. Almost 20 years worth of Far Cry mapping assembled in one place! And there is still a lot more to come. A great hooray and a big round of applause to everyone who has made this happen -- to all the players who have passed on maps to us over the years and above all of course to all the imaginative minds who created these miniature worlds!

Soon!

*LOL* at the domain name. But this is a good idea, icebreaker! We might actually steal it from you and also offer the language files on the homepage.

This rather big Russian youtube channel uses gameplay footage of your glorious flag capture from a few weeks ago. Check around the 25:30 mark:

Wow, beeindruckend, die Screenshots sind richtig klasse! Und dann gleich 7-8 Karten. Kann es kaum erwarten, sie anzutesten!

Nächstes Jahr ist übrigens das 20jährige Jubiläum von Far Cry - da könnte es kaum besser passen, wenn du deinen unglaublichen Katalog an NRW-Maps aufstockst.

Wir würden uns freuen, mit dir zu plaudern. Schreib uns einfach, wann es dir passt oder komm einmal bei uns im Teamspeak vorbei, wenn du uns online siehst. Du findest uns fast jedes Wochenende auf einem dieser 2 Teamspeaks, oft auch unter der Woche:

(LR) ts3server://ts3.farcrylraddon.de?port=9987

(FWL) ts3server://de.voice.gamingdeluxe.co.uk?port=9989

Und auf der LR-Hauptseite kannst du sehen wer gerade wo online ist.

Freu mich schon!

Hello Terje_P and welcome aboard our ship!

What a rabbithole you have chosen there, indeed. Your gameplay videos certainly make for an interesting viewing, even if one doesn't play the mods proper. We are really a community for the original FC mp only, so I am not sure we can help you with these tc's. But maybe when you exhausted all your Iranian, Korean and Nigerian mods you want to stop by and join us for a game of classical Far Cry multiplayer. You can also find us on Discord or drop by on the LRv3 or FWL teamspeak (yeah, we are oldschool too!).

Hi Terje,

you are digging up some really rare and exotic stuff here. Many of us have heard about the Russian FC mods, but who would have thought there were all these Iranian mods and tc's out there as well. The mind boggles! I hope you can get the rest of the maps working somehow and show some more of them on your yt channel. However, we are here focused more or less exclusively on maintaining and improving the original Far Cry multiplayer part, not so much on sp gaming or modding. So I am not sure we would be of much help to your efforts. I wish you good luck anyway, it is always fun to see in what creative ways people approach our beloved game!

It has been quite a while since our last round of map uploads, but finally we present some more rarities from the vaults. We hope it is a nice mixture that will keep you entertained!

FFA

• $3mp_physion-$2crysis - A small arena map that offers a lot of tense action.
• mp_stow_a_way - A fast moving map on a tightly packed freighter, ideal for fewer players.
• mp_Healing_Grounds_Day - Some sp elements will not work in multiplayer, but are not essential to having fun in this varied medium-sized arena map.
• mp_baja - A largely vehicle-oriented map in a giant barren desert landscape.
• mp_Lake_Mine - A sunny open range map on a grid of embankments.

FFA/TDM

• mp_black_sun - Darkness meets mountainous landscape in this somber and somewhat surreal map by ToeTag.
• mp_PureHell - A rather expansive vehicle map set around a volcano.
• mp_RemarkableRocks - A small rocky island provides the perfect dusk-tinged backdrop for some fast and furious action.

ASSAULT

• mp_2v2_atoll - Some more variety for our popular 2v2 section.
• mp_2v2_nine_v1 - Added only for our completionists with severe OCD. Version 2 has been a staple on our servers for many years now.
• mp_2v2_smile_island
• mp_2v2_smile_island_v2 - The name says it all: some very frantic action awaits you on this exceptionally jovial island.
• mp_ToGo - There is a lot to see and do on this map. So don't let all these dinosaurs distract you!
• mp_concrete - A great-looking map similar to mp_fuel. Mp_district, the 3rd map from this urban mini-mappack, will follow with the next batch of uploads. Unfortunately, these maps use lots of cross-referenced objects and textures that had to be relinked one by one in order to make them self-contained. A major PITA, but I think it was worth it as these are very well-designed maps. We hope you will agree.

All servers are updated, have fun!

Glad you are back, Shauneyboy! Thanks for all the Far Cry videos you upload to your youtube channel - it helps keep this game alive!

Hello fellow Far Cry players!

As always the Weekend Cup will consist of an ASSAULT and an FFA tournament. Feel free to sign up for both or for just one competition. The Cup will start in the afternoon and continue into the early evening hours. Just head over to our sign-up page for more detailed information and timetables:

We are still open for map suggestions. So if you have some favourites, drop us a line.

See you on the battlefield!

Die Bilder sehen großartig aus, sehr stimmungsvoll! Wie viele Maps sind es denn, an denen du gerade sitzt?

🐇 Easter eggs, Easter eggs, Easter eggs! 🐇

The Easter bunny has been doing overtime and brings you all a nice and varied selection of maps.

First off we have 5 Assault maps:

• mp_2v2_prey_veng (ASSAULT) - A welcome addition to our 2v2 section with several custom objects and textures.
• mp_astraining (ASSAULT) - A frantic version of the popular mp_2v2_cage map. But this time on speed! Be prepared for some very fast action!
• mp_breakpoint (ASSAULT) - Large-scale, open map by Megadeath TAW in the traditional FC style, suitable for more players.
• mp_jurassic_park (ASSAULT) - Dinosaurs! A vast map with plenty of stuff to see and many pathways to the flags.
• mp_mad (ASSAULT) - If you are running Far Cry not on a PC but on a glorified potato, this is the map for you. It cannot get any more simplistic than this. Do I have your attention? 🙂

And finally 6 more FFA/TDM maps:

• mp_bosque_mortal (FFA/TDM) - Deadly woods indeed! A big and gloomy map for medium or larger player numbers.
• mp_buggystyle (FFA) - This one is for the car map crowd: Starting on the ground this rally map will have you driving high up into the sky.
• mp_moltencore (TDM) - Medium-sized indoor arena map with many interactive elements. Not all of them will actually work 100% in multiplayer, but an ambitious and interesting map nonetheless.
• mp_OldSwamp (FFA) - Straightforward action, set in and around a river and on platforms high up.
• mp_pyramids_of_anubis (FFA/TDM) - Very well-designed medium-sized version of the ASSAULT map mp_2v2_pyramids.
• mp_to_storage (FFA/TDM) - A very small indoor map, ideal for 1 on 1 or training scenarios.

All servers are updated, so have fun giving these maps a spin. Happy Easter to you all! 🐰
