    Featured Arcade Maps - Day 1

    Hey everyone,

    Below you can find the three Arcade maps that were featured during this week!


    Ancient Market



    Armies have clashed in this place for millennia, trying to wrestle control from their enemies. Don’t let the calm pools fool you, it will be a hard-fought battle!

    Game mode: Team Deathmatch
    Made by: Akilyoung & Izoolee


    On a Rock Beyond the Sun



    A quiet little church finds itself on the front line of this conflict. Tanks have moved forward on both sides, it’s now up to you to bring victory to your side!

    Game mode: Team Deathmatch
    Made by: Longridr


    Safe Haven




    Civilization as we know it has collapsed, and the city is now ruled by armed militia. You’re almost out of there, but this last neighborhood is heavily guarded. Push your way through and get to safety!

    Game mode: Journey
    Made by: TheAnteater



    Congratulations to the Map Builders who created these amazing maps!

    These are great. Am I incorrect in assuming these are created by professional level designers? Many of the featured maps in-game, which are sponsored by Ubi, seem like they are created by industry folks.

    Safe Haven is a very cool map I like that a lot, I hope TheAntEater does some more maps he is a good builder.

    On a Rock Beyond the Sun I get a lot of fun with this especially using the rocket launcher, really like the setting and the detail, I have heard some say they were spawn camped but so far I have not had any of this, played it maybe 6 times and enjoyed each match.

    Ancient Market is a lovely map to look at but its killed by the load-outs having infinite ammo, people throw lots of grenades and dynamite also, with an update it would be among the better maps in the game so far, Kyle and Izoolee did an excellent job with it.
    I believe it was re-published on PC called Pools Of SiloAM you can find it HERE for PC

    Am I crazy or did the little UBISOFT LOGO get removed recently from maps in-game? I commented on them, and thought they all looked like they were made from pro level editors, and then now I don't see the logo anymore? Am I going nuts?

    Good Maps but was wondering why every time I play MP now there are just those maps and that one with the glass every where. Did something get patched ? Used to be a huge variety of maps now it is the same ones over and over ? Is this a setting I need to change ? Also noticed I think people are submitting the same maps with different names. I saw one map with the same thumbnail up there in 3 spots...

    I spent alot of time building my map, around 10 hours this last week. Im just trying to figure out if yall are actually gonna put the decent maps back in rotation, it was up for 30 minutes and received the same ratings as any of the ubisoft created maps. but now its nothing i have to go in hoping i get picked to select a map after a round or 2 and manually search for it. Honestly it just dosnt feel worth it to make another map.

    Heres my build: https://far-cry-arcade.ubi.com/ps4/m...ad0685683ada38 since i have to self promote it now lol.

    The lobby system is pretty good to find players but then very very bad to choose new map after more than 10 hours of arcade game I find myself almost exclusively with Maps created by Ubisoft. All the time the same. There is a real problem because we lose interest to discover new things regarding

    Nope, they're 'just' made by passionate mappers. People who already learned the ropes with previous Far Cry games and honed their skill to the level you see here.

    While there are some professional map builders out there, not all of the Ubisoft Featured Maps are done by them. The Featured maps are regular community-made maps republished under the Ubisoft name in order to have them available on all platforms. Plus while featuring, Ubi will probably do a little quality/compatibility check and slightly modify the map if needed.
