    The only time I am personally using the grid glitch is while I am making my house and developing idea's on how we can improve upon the house.
    I will have to upload pictures sometime

    We don't want people to go over the grid-limit. The simple reason is that those limits exist on the consoles for performance reasons, this is after all 8 year old hardware we are talking about.

    Going over the grid limit will most likely only cause slight performance problems - but it CAN cause the entire console to lock up. The only way to get out of that is to restart the console.
    That might be fine for some of you who read these forums and know what to do. But you have to consider someone who just bought the game, starts a gold map (approved by Ubisoft, remember?) and then they see their entire console freeze after starting the match. They won't know why it happened.

    I don't have any quick way of checking these maps without downloading each and every one to the test-console on my desk, then checking their values. I will do that once the voting is over.
    If it turns out that a map has gone way above the limits - it might not get picked in the end. The only way to be sure that your map doesn't risk this is to make the map within the parameters which are set up with the latest patch.

    I do agree that mapmakers who struggle to get the map done within the limits should have their efforts recognized in some way. Those settings are the way the IGE is intended to function after all.
    vextor you should consider that maps without the grid are far more detailed and allow the creator more options when making the map they want.
    now I personally have never had an issue when playing a map without a grid limit, in fact its more fun. but you shouldnt take maps with no grid down just because they have no grid limit
    if they freeze on the player then ya take it down but that should be the only reason.

    My efforts werent recognized vextor by any of you down there in the office,i was nominated three times and still no recognition by your team,ive been trying to get my name out as an editor.It seems impossible i guess to get up there to gold so i will publish the last of my 2 maps ive been working on and ill be leaving this community for good.Mostly because your team has made no effort to give us custom lobby so we can host multiple friends maps,that would bring alot of fans back .Now you mentioned the grid limit vextor.ok well....there is no performance issues.You say the game might seize up console,well i dont know if you have played far cry 3 lately but that wouldnt change anything anyway if it did happen,your game seizes all the time since its release.Some editors use the cheat to just basically put more detail and esstitics in our maps,they do turn out beautiful .The players do NOT use them in a bad manner .The one good thing i did get out of buying this game is that ive met alot of really talented editors and players who really are cool people,at least my name has got out to these players and editors.So after 8 long years of being a huge fan and editor of all the far cry games ,id like to say goodbye,ill be back though if FAR CRY 4 will even have an editor and custom lobbies.Your team just makes so little effort to really truly listen to the community and what we wanted from the begining.

    Possibly on 360 a handful of people - 5-10 so it really is not a big deal at all (on 360 it is more hassle removing the update and then re-applying than it is on PS3 plus it is time consuming and people are lazy)

    There will not be that many maps been made this way and as you said those who know what they are doing will make sure the performance runs smooth on the maps - I best butt out of here as I will be not far away from a ban no doubt.
    there's no reason you should be banned for speaking the truth and pointing out some of ubi/ AW lost soldier's flaws. He just makes the elite member status seem way too "Elitist" and lose most its meaning, i thought it was for helpful people (i just realized that he was actually elite haha) if anyone should be elite, it should be you, you have helped out the far cry community and stuck with us with the latest news updates and coordinating events from the beginning, now that's how i picture an "elite" member.

    Can't say anything wrong about the nominations they're all good! hopefully they bring a little more attention to gold!

    Edit: and as for the Treatment map, if it plays well with no issues, then why not let it be gold? i have no problem with it, i might actually try making a map without the patch now, and update my old maps to make them more playable with it lol

    Although i am working within grid limit, i have to agree to some of the things said here about the game already being highly unstable even with the grid limiit. Anyway The video of Aftermath wasnt available anymore so reposted it. Vid produced by Razor
