    Hello fellow FarCriers!


    As you might have noticed when playing Far Cry multiplayer maps throughout the years, there are unfortunately a few out there that have had longstanding issues. Some small and negligible, some not so small to the point of becoming dealbreakers. As a matter of fact, a few of these otherwise great maps have been plagued by problems for more than 15 years. With our mapspace steadily approaching 700 maps, we finally thought it's time to address some of these issues:



    • am_assault01
      One defender spawn point was misappropriated to the attacking team, causing confusion and spawn killing mayhem at flag 2.



    • am_blizzard
      Missing cross-referenced map objects have been correctly reassigned.



    • fcmp_pure2_v2
      One spawn point had defenders spawn under the terrain or fall beneath the surface.



    • mp_2v2_predator
      Map was missing cross-referenced textures.



    • mp_bombay_f
      Erroneous flag setup, effectively turning it into a 2 flag map as the first one was already captured by default.



    • mp_tript
      Two spawn points were misplaced and had the defenders get stuck in the ammo box at flag 1.



    Go ahead and give these upgraded versions a try. The original map data and loading screens were left untouched and are included in the map download for reference. Nothing else other than the issues mentioned above has been changed.


    If you already have the old versions of these maps on your harddrive, the LR addon might kick you for level data mismatch and prompt you to redownload the maps once you connect to the server. In case anything goes wrong please download the maps manually from the map space. Click the "Download maps" button, proceed to receive the available maps and download the map. Voilà!



    If you know any other maps with similar problems that you would like to see fixed, please post them here and I'll have a look at them.


    Have fun everyone, Astaron

    Have you ever wanted to become a Far Cry archeologist? Thanks to our fellow Far Cry veteran =|HSC|= Viper we were able to lay our grimy hands on a huge number of maps (300+) that haven't been available for playing in a very long time. Most maps are FFA/TDM, but there should be something of interest to everyone in this huge treasure trove. Big shout-out to Mr. Viper for providing us with this blast from the past!


    For our first upload batch we randomly picked the following maps. Spice up your gaming routine and delve into the uncharted worlds of...

    • mp_down_town (FFA/TDM)
    • mp_gallery (FFA)
    • mp_neighbor (FFA)
    • mp_PistolFight (TDM)
    • mp_pistolfight2 (FFA/TDM)
    • pistolfight (FFA/TDM)
    • mp_tagebau (FFA)
    • mp_TAWRiverb3 (ASSAULT) - 7 flags, holy moly!
    • mp_woodville (FFA)


    Also re-added to the mapspace as the download was apparently broken:

    • mp_Interzone (FFA)
    • mp_pitfight (FFA)


    All the servers are updated and ready to go, so if you want some variety to your daily dose of Far Cry, give these maps a spin! We will upload more maps in the upcoming weeks -- check this thread regularly to see what is new.
