Been making maps for some time and have always wondered how these are rated such as, mostly game play, length, or visual etc. Or all the above. Also does number of times played outrank number of times saved as favorites for ranking.
Love the game and making maps for others to" hopefully" enjoy. Just wish there was more selection...it would be awesome.
Also how many are still using the map editor ?
And when is the best time to publish,(if it makes any difference at all),early in the week or say on a friday?
Thanks for the fun Farcry 4

That's quite a list. As far as ratings goes, it's mostly gameplay. You could make the most beautiful map ever but if it's not fun to play it won't get many stars. Of course "anything" you can do to make a map look more realistic helps to get it to the top. Ratings are based off of votes only. Number of plays or favorites has little or nothing to do with it. It's "Likes vs Dislikes" ratio. There are more people making and playing maps now than ever. It's common for a good new map to get 500 plays the 1st day. I used to like to publish on Friday so it would get the weekend plays but anymore I don't think it matters when you publish. This is only my opinion but I have been doing this a long time and have had some success. I've made over 75 maps and almost all of them have 4 stars or better.
