    Featured Creators instead of Featured Maps

    I believe this can be a great feature moving forward, maybe for Far Cry 6.

    The Featured Maps section in the menus is already a great way to find awesome content to play but a lot of the time you find yourself having to go through several searches to then try to find more maps by the same author. If a map is on the featured maps section, then the author's other maps will generally also be really cool maps to play.

    I feel it would be a good way to showcase some of the best creators the Community has to offer by having a Featured Creators section. You choose a creator from a page showing selected Featured Creators, select one which then brings up all their published maps which can then be played as a playlist one after the other consecutively without having to do any searching or setting up a different lobby (solo and coop maps), and also shows MP maps which leads to setting up a public lobby.

    Yeah, for a next Far Cry, there really needs to be an appealing way to get playlists of good maps played in sequence. As-is now, playing other 'top' maps by selecting "play another map" will not take the user's preference into consideration and instead select a random map. Which could infact be a map the player already played before (sometimes even in the very same play session!). Having to return to a menu to browse/search for maps really feels like you're operating an administrative system rather than enjoying quality content fed to you.

    I'd hope there'd be a more social aspect to it as well ingame. Like if your friends completed/liked/played certain maps/creators, you would also get that content suggested.

    Nothing in a dedicated (Arcade) website, just easily accessible from the game. Maybe even make the campaign include specific daily quests, where part of the objective is to complete several suggested maps for a specific in-game reward.

    I agree its currently a bit like this.

    My analogy would be if Spotify had no albums and you only saw recommended songs or had to search for individual songs. I generally choose music by Artist and listen to albums by my favourite artists.
