    Freedom Map Jam (Ended)

    Hello Far Cry Map builders,

    We heard your demand for another Map Jam and well, we love to supply!

    So for the next three weeks, we'll be holding a Freedom Map Jam! Using the FC4 Map Editor, we want you to create a map expressing the theme of Freedom.

    How to participate?

    • Publish your FC4 map between September 20 and October 11. Now Over
    • The name of your map should start with “MJ2 - nameofmap”.
    • You are free to use any game mode and any in-game modifier. Please do not use third-party Mods.
    • You are free to create on any platform. Note that PC builders and Console builders will be split into 2x separate categories.
    • Your map should highlight your vision of what “Freedom” means in Far Cry: either in gameplay, narrative, and/or visual. For example, it could be the freedom of attacking an outpost from any angle. Or escaping from a cell and aiming for your freedom!
    • You can publish additional screenshots & videos to further promote your map.

    For more inspiration, you can take a look at the fankit and the FC5 E3 content. If you wish to pro-actively send us links to your images or videos, use Twitter (hashtag #FCMapJam) or email us (farcrycommunity@ubisoft.com).

    Rules

    • Only ONE map creation can be submitted per person. This includes all platforms (So choose wisely)
    • No co-op projects or collaborations permitted. As much as we love co-op projects and collaborations, the idea is for solo projects to be created.
    • HAVE FUN! – We cannot stress this one enough. This is what Map Jams are about.


    How will winners be selected?

    We will hold separate contests from the PC builders and the Console builders.

    From October 12 to 13, a selection of FC5 level designers and FC5 map editor developers will look at the maps created and vote for their favorites. The maps that get the most votes will win this Map Jam #2 (there will be others in the future). Winners in each contest (PC or Console) will be picked out of the four categories:






    Each category winner will receive a bundle of Far Cry 5 exclusive goodies.



    Good luck and happy map building!
    The Far Cry Community Team

    EDIT: Thanks to everyone who participated in the Map Jam. The Map Jam has now ended and we will be announcing winners next week!

    Looking forward to seeing the entries, the last Map Jam gave me some excellent maps so I am sure this one will offer up some quality stuff also.

    Think I will try and push one out myself, maybe this time on XB1 - I have not made a map on XB1 with Far Cry 4 yet.

    Aw man, same prizes. I understand the decision behind it though.
    I'm guessing winners of the last contest can't submit this time 'round?

    I didn't see a copy of the Far Cry 5 game as a prize last time? - I think with this one the winners will get the game on release day - the game image looks like a prize.

    I think there will be huge interest in the map jam because winners get a free copy of fc5 and the theme is almost wide open. i dont like rigid theme contest myself, fixed themes will reduce the amount of entries by a huge amount. this contest will have 3x the entries of the last map jam all good for the community. i wont enter myself but i will encourage my club members to enter. good luck people.

    Just to clarify:

    As you may have noticed there are a few changes this time around and this is due to the feedback you gave us (Will still share our document we have, just got a little sidetracked )


    • We extended the length of the jam, so you guys can jam harder and if anything comes along to distract you, you will have time to finish and submit your entry.
    • Only one map can be submitted, you can still create multiple maps but that is down to you (We know some of you get a million ideas and work on two or three maps at the same time) and it is then your choice on which map to submit
    • As much as we love seeing people work together on projects, we felt that for the Map Jam and in the essence of a Map Jam that only solo entries should be permitted. By all means feel free to lend advice or help though.
    • We also feel it is important to emphasize that these Map Jams, whilst they have rewards at stake; are ultimately about having fun and we can't stress that enough.
    • The developers that were judging the last Map Jam felt that level design and game play were too similar and suggested to replace one with another category. We opted for "Best Narrative" - in short, this category will be about the story, plot and/or the journey you create within your map. I've seen some of those maps of yours, I know what you lot are capable of
    • You might have noticed that "Player Choice" is still around but not mentioned as much. We won't be using Strawpoll but more on that a little later
