Army Special Forces soldier stranded on a mysterious archipelago. Ubisoft closed the online servers in October 2015. Multiplayer featured three different modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and 'Assault' - An attack/defend mode where one team must guard three bases and the other must capture them. However, during the indoor sections of the game, level design tends to lose this attribute in favor of a more traditional, linear gameplay. The jungle of the world tends to sprawl out in all directions, allowing players to achieve different angles for assaults, or even completely circumvent enemies (given enough time to maneuver). When outdoors, the player is usually presented with a fairly simple set of possible routes to their objective, but these do not necessarily have to be used. The open maps allow the player to complete their objectives in several different manners. Throughout the game, the player encounters a variety of weapons from which to choose, including automatic weapons and grenades. For example, the general location of enemies can often be identified by hearing their footsteps or conversations. Sound plays an important part in the overall gameplay. The player has the ability to jump, run, crouch and lie down, and look about in all directions. The environment includes land, water, indoor and outdoor structures, all during various times of the day. Later in the gameplay, thermo binoculars can be used to locate the heat signatures of enemies, that would be otherwise concealed by foliage or darkness. Enemies will work together to outmaneuver, outflank, surround, and provide suppressive fire, providing them a tactical advantage over the player, who, in turn, is able to spot and mark enemies on their minimap through use of special binoculars, which also grant the player the ability to listen to enemy conversations from afar, merely by pointing the binoculars in the direction of the enemies. If a lone mercenary spots a player, he occasionally runs for help, signaling reinforcements through use of flareguns. Enemies react dynamically to the player's tactics and actions. The tropical rain forest provides cover and concealment, of which the player and enemies can take advantage. A loose film adaptation was released in 2008. The success of Far Cry led to several stand-alone sequels developed by Ubisoft, as well as remakes: Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Instincts: Predator. The game was also a commercial success, selling over 730,000 units within four months of release and over 2.5 million units in its lifetime.
