    FC5 map editor for mp?

    Just like they did for FC2.

    Any news?
    I had a total of 2.000 downloads for my 3 biggest created maps on FC2.
    Even got one reviewed:

    It would be cool if you could choose in your map how many respawns a player gets, or even have no respawns. This could even be done by who ever is hosting the map with settings before the match launches.

    I'm really hoping this time players get to over-ride some of the modifiers/parameters for the map.

    I mean, there's no need for players to republish a map for different weather/lighting conditions, invulnerability, unlimited ammo etc related modifiers if players can just overrule those settings and modifiers at play time. That should take care of tonnes of duplicate/"plagiarised" maps published, and players can play maps the way they like best.

    Also, if there is a 6v6 Deathmatch, I can imagine there being several other gamemodes possible besides (Team) Deathmatch, that can take place on that same map without additional tweaks to the mapfile itself. Potentially, and ideally, players should be able to override the gameplay parameters in multiplayer.

    I imagine a 'Worship the Bible' modifier that will spawn a bible at random on one of the spawn points in the map. Players/teams score points by holding the bible up in the air and potentially "spreading the word" (audible) here and there to score additional points at the expense of giving away your position.
    Or, one of the spawn points could be considered a "holy place", which would pave the way for a "conquer-and-control" domination-style. Stuff like this would exponentially increase the value and replayability of all the maps published, without requiring map makers to explicitly support those game modes in their design.

    An online mp map creator with rating etc. is the only thing that could make me preorder.

    Hope info gets out soon

    Yea, I think its pretty much confirmed at this point but that's only through some leaks and Gamestop listing, etc. Though, I couldn't necessarily find an actual confirmation from the team down at ubisoft, similar to the IGE announcement in the live stream. I sure hope that Multiplayer is a for sure addition to the game because I don't know about you guys but I sure as hell miss me some good old multiplayer in our custom maps. Jk, a multiplayer is something we have been clambering for since the coop only fc4. Now that lobby system is a definite must for fc5 btw *cough* ubisoft *cough* * points at fc2.* It was so easy back then to share and play our maps that now days I feel like a turd for taking that system for granted. It was a bit rough around the edges but what we got for fc3/4 pales in comparison.

Its just they haven't said if we get to host lobbies with a playlist of user created maps public or not. That's the hold up. Now if they go back to the FARCRY3 lazy route of private one map lobby only then forget it.
    Could you link me to this source?

    The thing is that that would be a nice selling point and yet it is not specified by retailers' product page.
