Hello Far Cry Map builders,
For the next three weeks, we'll be holding a new Map Jam! Using the FC5 Map Editor, we want you to create an Outpost map using the new Hours of Darkness assets to recreate a Vietnam atmosphere.
How to Participate?
- Publish your FC5 map between June 13th and June 28th.
- The name of your map should start with “MJ5 - nameofmap”.
- Only maps with the OUTPOST game mode will be accepted.
- Third-party Mods are not allowed.
- 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 a Vietnam setting. Using the new Hours of Darkness assets will help you, but you can also use all the assets available in the Editor.
- You can publish additional screenshots and videos to further promote your map.
- 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).
- Only ONE map creator per map will be taken into consideration. If you choose to collaborate on creating a map, understand that only the player that submits the map will be acknowledge as the creator.
- HAVE FUN! – We cannot stress this one enough. This is what Map Jams are about.
See the full details here.
(competition is open to residents of eligible countries - please check the official rules under the link for the full list)
This should be a great Theme, really looking forward to it but have one HUGE QUESTION.
We currently do not have the Weapons, Enemies, Vehicles from Hours Of Darkness - also hoping on the Crocodile (possibly some other animal skins) and maybe some Collections / Recipies for Bamboo etc all for us to use in the map editor.
It does not seem right having other enemies in the map and would also be better for some to have the option to use those Vietnam Themed guns.
Will these become available to us before the deadline so we can place them into our maps before publishing or have you announced the Map Jam for this too early as we are still missing some things which IMO would help finish off the maps theme ?
EDIT: I assumed the patch was live as I made a coffee when the game was loading up, I hear it's tomorrow 14th (I should have checked the date)
So fingers crossed those new goodies drop with the patch - I hope.
I agree - I am happy to take part in this map jam if the vietnam themed ai at least is patched in before the deadline so we can have the appropriate enemies in our maps to fit the theme. Having the vietnam weapons, vehicles and ai seems pretty necessary to do this mapjam properly. If a date is given for when the update for these is and its before the map jam deadline then it means everyone can make full use of the dlc which seems to be what the jam is all about this time
