HomeLAN has fired-up a preview on Crytek Studios' upcoming first person shooter, Far Cry. Here's a bit on the multiplayer portion of the game:

With permission from Ubi Soft, we can now also talk about Far Cry’s multiplayer modes, based on playing the multiplayer beta test that the publisher is running. There are four maps in the multiplayer beta. Two of them support the standard deathmatch and team deathmatch modes and are quite large as you might imagine. The other two maps support the game’s assault mode that’s similar to Unreal Tournament’s mode where one team attacks points on a map and accomplishes goals while the other team prevents that from happening. Unlike UT’s Assault mode, however, Far Cry has a class system in place where people can pick sniper, assault or support roles with different weapon configurations and choices for each. While this mode shows promise we do have to say that playing multiplayer on the net is currently a somewhat lag filled experience, even with a broadband connection. Crytek and Ubi Soft still have time to address these issues before the game ships.
