Ubisoft Massive Game Designer Daniel Berlin has confirmed that there will be no vehicles in the online portion of Far Cry 3. This comes as a surprise seeing as how Far Cry 2 had a big emphasis on vehicles in it’s single player campaign and utilized them online as well. Berlin stated the following in an interview with Platform39:
“We tried to incorporate the vehicles in multiplayer but what we realized after a while was that it actually didn’t help the team play that we’re trying to push. It didn’t help the game play that we created. What was best for the game was to actually keep vehicles out of multiplayer.”
I personally was hoping that they would keep keep hang-gliders in the multiplayer so that I could fly around and cause shenanigans. Judging from the statement above it seems like my dreams will be smashed into a thousand tiny pieces. Hopefully it doesn’t just turn into another “CoD Clone.”

June 21, 2012 at 3:32 PMCome ON UBISOFT Don’t get me wrong this is going to be a hell of a game but not including vehicles in the multiplayer that takes away everything far cry stands for (open big maps,different ways to go after the objective) And if you say It is bad for team play that’s insanity *wink wink* vehicles require a driver and a Gunner so that mean you cant just use a vehicle for yourself so it encourages team play…..so I urge you to reconsider or at least confirm an update that will be released after the game comes out that will provide vehicles!

November 29, 2012 at 11:39 AMEverything that made Far Cry great is gone from the game cars, hang gliders, preditor, local play split screen so you play with your buddies in the same room. I’m not buying it and neither are any of my friends..they ruined this game everything that made far cry what it is is removed from the game.. far cry 2 was flop joke for the same reasons. The developer should be fired for ruining what would a sure hit. What a shame, morons!!

December 8, 2012 at 5:13 PMThese are things that would have made this game great, new and exciting. Far cry 3 has given up what made it innovative and original to try to skim on CODs coattails. These developers should be ashamed of themselves and this product.

December 27, 2012 at 10:45 PMI’m kind of mad, it’s a great game don’t get me wrong but taking vehicles and animal out of multiplayer was a big mistake. I mean why would you put animals and vehicles in Map Editor if you’re not allowed to use them in multiplayer. What if you want to make a map for you’re friends and you to play on? You wouldn’t be able to have vehicles nor animals so it pretty much defeats the purpose for even putting them in Map Editor. If you could just make an update yo be able to make animals and vehicles compatible in at least private mach.
