Fan Requested Features Coming to Far Cry 3 Thanks to New PatchUbisoft have today released an update to smash-hit shooter Far Cry 3 that will bring fan requested features to the already stellar title.

If you haven’t played Far Cry 3 yet, we strongly advise that you take a look at it, especially if you are looking for a fresh and exciting shooter experience. The update released today, which is available on all platforms (PS3, XBOX 360 and PC), bring a number of nifty sounding updates to the game, the ideas for which apparently came from the Far Cry 3 community.

The updates include the ability to reset outpost liberation progress at the end of the game, just in case you fancy retaking the island, one bad guy at a time. The update also adds a MASTER difficulty setting, which becomes available upon completion of the campaign, we reckon’ that it sounds pretty hardcore.

Check out the list below for the full rundown of updates, and be sure to take a look at the gallery of images at the bottom of the page;

SINGLE PLAYER:

  • Outposts reset: after the end of the game, players can choose to reset the liberated outposts to face the challenge to take them over again
  • A new difficulty setting: Players who have completed the campaign can restart the adventure on MASTER difficulty, with more challenging enemies and dangerous wildlife

MULTIPLAYER:

  • Map Beta Test: Map makers can now start a beta test to monitor how their map is being played using the new spectator feature and regular players are enabled to provide better feedback to help map makers improve their projects.
  • Maps by author: Players will be able to show all the maps created by an author
  • Idle kick: The feature that kicks out idle players during a MP match is removed from custom and private matches
  • The Skip map voting system has been improved with more visibility and time to cast the vote
  • A new mini-game called The Grid has been added to the Outpost website and smartphone apps.
