    Well.... That's not the ONLY way Ubi got feedback

    YESSS!! This is the first time I've been excited about a FC game since I spent 60+ hours making this: http://www.nexusmods.com/farcry3/mods/25/? and then realizing I'd absolutely wasted all that time. We're not out of the water yet though but this is REALLY looking promising.

    Pros:
    It looks like competitive MP on custom maps is back
    This is my DREAM object set. I'm hoping at least a third of what I saw in the trailer is available in the editor.
    Making co-op maps (provided traditional competitive maps are possible) will be amazing

    Cons/Need to know more
    We still need to know if traditional game modes like death match, team death match and capture the flag will be available.
    How will the lobby system work? FC2 or FC3?
    Can we host map rotations?
    Can we place weapons in the maps?
    Can we place vehicles in MP maps and can we PLEASE place more than 6?
    Will there be destructible and explosive items in the editor?

    Would REALLY like to see a game mode editor as well so I can figure out a way around the inevitable class based MP. If I'm going to spend 60-100 hours building dozens of maps I want control over how it plays. That means controlling the weapons available on the map.

    For me if any of these features are missing (minus weapons and class based MP which I'd like but can live without) I'll probably be continuing my personal boycott of all Ubi products. That said the way this announcement has been handled so far and the Ubisoft interaction with the community, all signs point to a great map editor I'm not going to be able to resist.

    This is exactly how I feel lol. I know better than to get excited. They'll almost certainly botch something that's REALLY important but I just can't help but be super freaking hyped.

    The fact that the map editor is back is fantastic news...


    That's worth the retail price alone. Spent more time on that than I did FC4

    Great news so far about the Map Editor not only being in the game, but looking like it is also for competitive multiplayer. I am also trying to curb my enthusiasm because UBI tends to be more of a heartbreaker when it comes to FC games.

    I am HOPEFUL that FC5 is the game where everything finally comes together. FC2, FC3, FC4 all did great things with multiplayer/IGE but had missing pieces (Pieces that were in the other games which is so weird to me).

    Mine too. The sooner they can ease my fears about the lobby system, online game modes and map editor features the better.
