Far Cry 3 Multiplayer Trailer Drops Barrel Bombs

Ubisoft has released a marvellous new trailer for Far Cry 3's multiplayer mode today, showcasing the teamplay involved in each game type, as well as some of the nasty things you can drop on your enemies from above, whether it's barrel bombs or hallucinatory psyche gas.

There's also a closer look at the all-new Firestorm and Transmission modes, the former of which has you setting fire to your rival's fuel nodes before delivering an all-consuming coup de grace in the form of a petroleum drop that sets the whole map alight and wins the match.

The latter Transmission mode has you capturing propaganda transmitters, and deactivating them. The winning team gets to punish the loser, in a brutal fashion too. Bonus. You can read more about it in our Far Cry 3 multiplayer preview from ages ago. We played Firestorm, so it's appropriate reading.

Far Cry 3 is out on November 30th in Europe and December 4th in North America.

More MP nobody will play. Wish they would focus on polishing the SP instead of adding MP people will quit playing after a few weeks.

The mp in 2 was good but the map editor was phenomenal and had some of the best maps I have ever played

Disagree with #1. I think this looks fun and somewhat fresh. Sure it has all the Call of Duty-esque ingredients to be fun, but at the same time I like the look of it and could see myself playing it at some point.

That is of course whenever I decide to play the game, by which point, the multiplayer community may already be dead and buried.

Looks pretty awesome. Will be buying Far Cry 3 mainly for its SP though.

@2 yeah the maps in 2 where absolutely amazing. Like the lord of the rings map, jurassic park,star wars and of course the best puzzle maps ever made. If you haven't played far cry 2 please do just for the custom maps there AMAZING.

I wish they'd put out a map editor video.

@1 Disagree with that, the MP will last longer than a few weeks, plus a lot of people like the map editor. And getting rid of the MP doesn't mean the teams that are working on the MP would work on polishing the single player.

@1 You are wrong about that. Just because you may not play does not mean a large majority of others will not. I can't wait for this game. It has single player, Multiplayer, Co-op, and a map editor. So much content in one game :)

@1 - Pull your head out of your ass, just because you stopped playing FC2 doesn't mean it died, I can gurantee to you if you go back to it people are still playing. I fucking gurantee it.

I remember when Far Cry 2 released, I still used to play the Far Cry Instincts Multiplayer demo, people were always on it. What you're saying is complete shit.

OT - GOTY 2012!

Whoa, didn't mean to upset so many people. It's a videogame after all. Put your passion into something meaningful instead of getting angry at something a stranger said on the internet.

I loved Far Cry 2. And the multiplayer had that really in-depth map editor. But I still didn't really like it. But why not have it anyways, it's just a bonus for me.

Still no word if this is or isn't a predator or predator like mode, thats what gave far cry instincts an active multiplayer years after its release, well, one contributing factor, far cry 2's multiplayer was rather bad :/ the classe's ruined the game allot, the lack of an infection mode, or hunting mode, the chase maps/puzzle maps where so great with the pressure of the predators chasing you.

-sigh-

Such a waste...

(unless i missed a spot of the trailer, where it mentioned alike mode, more important things have my attention atm)

@9 Apparently. People defend a games MP like I insulted them personally.

Looks pretty cool except that stupid killing of the other team's best player bit. I get enough childish teabagging that I don't need that shit done as a way to win. If I can quit before I have to see that I'm in.

@14
Most people here don't speak retard.

I'll probably preorder this game. I think the Vaas bobblehead has swayed me. Much like COD, AC and Max Payne 3 I probably won't touch the MP until I've finished the SP.

@15 Is it really that big of a deal? It's nothing personal, it's going to end up happening to everyone who plays the MP.

I can't wait to play this game, it's looking great. But I'm going into it with a single player experience in mind. After Ghost Recon: Future Soldier I have no expectations that a functional multiplayer component can be delivered by Ubisoft.
