This is a living list of the glitches and bugs, and general “this is not a fit and proper product for sale” nonsense I’ve had while playing the Far Cry 3 multiplayer mode on Xbox Live.
- Can’t find servers – 5-10 minute waits to get into a team deathmatch game at times.
- Lag.
- Killed and shown hits in a place I had been seconds earlier, where there hadn’t been any gunfire.
- the bug where another player is raining from the sky as they run along.
- button unresponsiveness – crouch button not working until I’ve jumped
- spawning in places where you’re caught on the collision map, requiring a jump to be able to move.
- spawning in places where you’re caught on the collision map, and jumping doesn’t work, leaving suicide as the only option.
- stuck in aim mode after using and releasing a mounted weapon.
- “committed suicide” while randomly walking or running along a flat piece of ground with no weapons fire.
- killed in one place, then magically teleported to the other side of the map to bleed out.
- reloading a half full weapon empties it of all but 1 round.
- killed and told I couldn’t be revived because I had been revived already, despite this having not happened.
- had my view wrenched in un-commanded directions while shooting at enemies.
- reloaded a weapon, then immediately revived someone, then find the reload has unhappened after the revive animation is complete.
- get killed and then fall through the map, plummeting through empty space as the terrain disappears into the distance above me.
- get killed, have my body catch fire, respawn on fire and lose all my health.
- get killed, respawn and immediately die again in a secluded area with no enemy present.
- unbalanced numbers on teams. One occasion playing on a team of 2 against 10.
- reload a weapon, attempt to shoot with a full magazine, reload sequence is triggered again, get killed by the person I was attempting to shoot.
- kicked from server due to being idle, while running around on the map looking for someone to kill.
- Spawn into the beginning of the game, with no weapons.
- everyone else frozen while I can still run around, and kill all the opposing players, and keep killing them when they’re on the ground.
- Falling off the ship and getting stuck a foot deep into the deck below.
