After taking some time away from FC5 I reinstalled the game last week and went onto the arcade, curious as to the fate of my maps. To my utter disbelief, rather than sinking into oblivion as I expected, my map "WW2 Street Fight" was the number one map. Stunned yet happy (never had much success doing anything much really, most I've ever acheived in the past would be described as "devastatingly not too bad").
My joy soon turned to dismay when suddenly there were two street fight maps on page one. Oh ok, I thought, someone has modified my map, fair enough. Let's see what improvements they've made. Played the map couldn't see any difference. Downloaded it to double check, nope, nothing. Not a single modification, loadouts, control zones all the same, the guy literally reupped my map. I immediately submitted a ticket to Ubi, that was three, nearly four days ago.
So far no reply, the stolen map is sitting at number one and has nearly 2000 plays and my map that I spent days carefully balancing is relegated to second place. What's more I think this is extremely unfair to the community of map makers, the thief is occupying a spot on page one that should rightfully belong to someone else. It is personally embarrassing to me to see two copies of my map taking up an unfair amount of space when other people have worked so hard on their maps.
In short, annoying and unfair and I hope Ubi do something about it soon. Or perhaps no one cares and I'm just being silly. Makes it hard to get enthusiastic about my new maps though.
