This website is dedicated to support Far Cry 2's multiplayer mode. Among other things, players can download the multiplayer patching utility, that's needed to be able to play on the new online network created by the playing community to keep the game alive. If you're new here and looking to play, scroll down for more information. If you need help, have questions, would like to share your thoughts with other players, you can join any of the recommended Discord servers on the 'Discord (Help)' page.

REVIVING THE ONLINE MULTIPLAYER
Far Cry 2's multiplayer mode is still played today and it's available to anyone thanks to a patching utility called 'FC2MPPatcher'. Apart from fixing a number of hosting related software issues, the utility modifies the game, so it will connect to the community made online master server that was created to revive the multiplayer after its support by Ubisoft officially ended. The new online mode offers the same experience and features to everyone. This patch is available to download on our 'Multiplayer patch' page alongside instructions on how to use it.

"Prepare yourselves for deathmatch!"
You're welcome to use these maps for your own sessions; the only thing asked is that you put 'Mappack1' and this website in the server's name, to make sure everyone, especially new players, understand at all times what they need to do. One simple format would be: '|Mappack1|FC2mp.com'. It should give you enough room for a unique server name, to be clearly distinguished from all the other servers. (See the picture below.)
Also, if you want to host a server with the maps regularly, please, refrain from using special characters to make your server to be on top of the match list. Let's share the game fairly.

↓ HOW TO FIND MATCHES WITH PLAYERS ↓
Currently, there are no ongoing matches all day long, but it's worth to check if there are players at any time. If you want to play and all the servers are empty, it is also worth to wait in a server alone for some time, as someone may join after a while when they see a server with a player and after that more can follow. The most active time currently is Europe evenings.

Advice to new players
Anyone who has not yet installed the latest (v0.1.17) multiplayer patch should install it now to be able to play on the new community made online network. (No CD-Key is needed.) The original online mode will not be used from now on (and will be shut down by Ubisoft soon.)
Online servers are back!!!
Great news to all the online players: thanks to Ubisoft, the recent issues with online hosting have been resolved and the servers are now back!
In the meantime, the multiplayer is still available to play via Radmin VPN. You can find out how to join on the new 'Multiplayer on VPN' page.
The 'Fortunes Edition Expansion Pack' is needed for playing on some custom maps, as well as on the new 'Ubi' maps that are included in it. It adds extra contents to the game and while the Steam, Uplay and GOG versions all contain this, those who only have the DVD (or an ISO) version of the game, need to install this manually. If your game is this version, it is recommended that you install this too.
Fortunes Edition Expansion Pack for DVD installations
Note: if you have the Steam, Uplay or GOG version of the game, you already have the expansion pack installed and you can skip this part.

Far Cry 2's multiplayer mode has seen major difficulties in the past. First, the online mode died in 2016 due to Ubisoft neglecting to address software issues in the game and in their online services, then Tunngle ended its services in 2018, killing the remaining VPN community. Today the game can be played on the community made online network by anyone who installs a simple multiplayer patch. This is an attempt by old players to revive the game and keep it alive in the future and it's available to anyone after the patch is installed. It can be downloaded on our website here, where you can also find our simple guides on how to use it as well.
