Pros
Pro Great level design
All maps are quite different from each other and feature good design of the defend and attack dimensions. This makes for good balance that is not often found in many multiplayer games.
Pro Each team requires vastly different play styles
Each team has different skills and objectives, meaning different tactics are required to succeed. Changing teams is a great way to switch up the gameplay without having to leave the game.
Pro Options in play due to creativity

Pro Adventure aspects add to what would be a stale FPS
Being able to scale cliffs, hunt and trap animals, and use ones environment as a weapon against enemies adds to the basics of first person shooting making for a fun adventure game on top of a slick FPS.
Cons
Con Requires commitment to get used to the mechanics
Hitting the target requires pinpoint precision, and learning the ins and outs of the game mechanics may take a while. This means you may need to spend a fair amount of time practicing before you’re fully comfortable with the game.
Con Environment feels too familiar
While Farcry 1-3 all had different locales that had their own styles, 4 looks much like 3 and is not that much of a departure. For those looking for a different experience it is not going to be found in 4 sadly.
