    Unique Themes for Maps on FC5

    Hoping to see some maps that take risk and think outside the box. As a map maker, I try to come up with some unique/different settings for maps. On FC3 (XBOX360), I worked with other great mappers to publish FC3 Funeral Home, Tornado Alley, FC3 Car Wash, FC3 University, Telluride Ski Resort and American Pickers to name a few. Some of the themes I would love to do on FC5 would be a Nursing Home Setting, Hatfield's vs. McCoy's, Escape Room w/timer, Living off the Grid theme, Mardi Gras theme w/unique floats and many others. It's one of the main reasons I love playing multiplayer on FarCry. One match you're playing on a Spongebob map and the next on a Giant Pizza. Variety never gets old. Would love to hear other different/unique themes from other mappers.

    I'd love to see unique and interesting themes that actually end up playing well. Too many maps are just a custom asset plopped down into a garbage map unfortunately.

    I have always enjoyed playing all those maps. Shiny. Its really great when the map editor get the visuals right with custom made objects and the game play. I hope to see some of the great mappers coming back. As much as we been disappointed in Ubisoft's decisions with the past Far Cry's. I really see Far Cry 5 shaping up to be the best Far Cry ever. We will have to see.

    Theme has always been really important to me. I don't think I've made a regular Far Cry themed map since Instincts. Not that there's anything wrong with a Himalayan FC4 map, or a Hope County FC5 map, but I usually try to come up with things that you wouldn't think the editor was designed to do.

    I'd like to do a series of horror themed maps (Bates Motel, Camp Crystal Lake, Overlook Hotel, etc..).

    Also maps themed from tv shows (Sunnyvale Trailer Park will be a must, with a gravestone and liquor bottle easter egg for Lahey.)

    Death Star was pretty cool though considering there was no snap for those pieces.
    The Death Star looks ace mate! Sooo damn smooth...awesome!

    Death weapons done a brilliant job on the 360 too!

    Detail objects may not always effect the gameplay of the map but they add soul which to me is even more important than layout
