    But Hey the New Doom has a map editor.....Leave it to Bethesda!

    DOOM SnapMap – a powerful, but easy-to-use game and level editor – allows for limitless gameplay experiences on every platform. Without any previous experience or special expertise, any player can quickly and easily snap together and visually customize maps, add pre-defined or completely custom gameplay, and even edit game logic to create new modes. Instantly play your creation, share it with a friend, or make it available to players around the world – all in-game with the push of a button.

    Gutted about that..... I thought the map editor in FC4 was excellent!


    you know I would pay money for a map editor for FC PRIMAL... Maybe DLC?

    i played the map editor in FC4 more than the main game!!

    Such ashame. The editor is one of the pillars of the far cry serie. If you ask , it isnt a real far cry game if it has no editor.

    While I can agree about the Map Editor being a Staple in the Far Cry Series, I also have to say that I feel there wouldn't be enough Content in terms of Objects to Substitute a Map Editor, however what they could have done is kept the Depth of the game itself (how SP is, with Crafting and progression ETC) and implemented that more within the editor, so people could actually build their own world and others can play this just as they would with the initial Game.

    When I was in Montreal I did say to the Lead Editor Designer that there needs to be some kind of way which people can give characters scripts and objectives so you can create your own missions, Giving the lack of the editor in Primal, the Developers who work on the map editor surely have much more time for implementing more tools and features in Far Cry 5's Map Editor.

    I predict Far cry 4 is the last far cry game to have a map editor. if primal was a small £10 game like blood dragon i would not be thinking this way, but primal is the next major full retail price far cry release. the map editor is GONE for good. it's just wishful thinking to think the editor is ever coming back. the map making community (what's left) have 4 options to make maps in fc games. FCIP,FC2,FC3 and FC4. ive gone back to fc2 myself and im enjoying it like the good old days of 2010

    That would be amazing if we the players get those tools along with an mature editor. I guess Primal would have been a good testing ground to impliment the scenario editor and a caracter creator.

    Im bit more hopeful as you, aw soldier but the state the game industry is in, i wouldnt be suprised if fc4 editor was the last one. Lets hope this is just a fluke and the editor will return bigger and better then ever.
