    Far Cry 4 Map Editor Information!

    Greetings everyone! It's me, Lillestoel again, and I've scraped together some information from the Montreal team about the map editor in Far Cry 4 and I made this video:

    What do you all think? Exciting most certainly! =D

    i think there are two things that gamers really want to see in FC4:ME - vehicles and co-op\SP maps. it was so frustrating seeing how you can test the map with AI (that worked marvelously in a map you build with no need for nev-meshes or anything. just the great AI doing it's thing) but you couldnt create co-op or SP maps. THAT would be the biggest thing for me about the editor.

    if FC4 is built on the same engine as FC3 than i expect the editor to be pretty much the same, in a good way. if that IS the case than UBI doesnt have to develop the tool from scratch and just add to it. give us bigger planes to build the maps on, for more players, add vehicles and AI and we're golden.

    I truly believe if UBISOFT added a custom lobby where you could download your favorite maps (made by players)and create a list of 15 to 20 maps that you could host in multiplayer,and the players could experience true fast action based loading one map after another without having to leave the lobby and find another again after every match in FC3. Also to give the level/map editor MORE THAN 10% PER GRID to build on.Its too hard to hard to add the nessesary detail in a map with only 10%,should be like 40%.I must say hearing the vehicles will be coming back and to be usable in multiplayer maps we make will be AMAZING.But still curious because they havnt mentioned having animals for the players to put into multiplayer maps .It would make any make feel like a living environment during gameplay with animals in MP.Graphics look amazing,played FC4 at E3 this year and the gyrocopter is so much fun,finally aerial combat.The ability to color water textures would be good to create lava or toxic waste,or oil/tar.Cant wait til release to start making maps for the players.

    I totally agree with all of this Motherbumper. The map edtor and the way it is integrated into the multiplayer is of paramount importance. If its done right then we should expect an awesome multiplayer that will last for years. If its done wrong, then expect the same as what we have with FC3 right now, i.e. nobody playing the MP.

    Im not sure if anyone has been to there site lately but they have recently taken down the news on the map editor,if they take this away.They will lose their 10 year following fan base that has made this franchise what it is today,we dont care about campaign or the story the editor is what makes this game stand out from others.Please ubisoft,release the map editor news already,we are a month away from release and youve made promise to your fans to release more info about multiplayer and editor,im really hoping youll keep your promise this time around.Do not wait til the last minute,it could cost you millions in sales alone so just something to think about.

    I've played around with the FC4 map editor, it is coming out, don't you worry.

    I am sure they are putting more effort into restoring some consumer confidence with their next release. The editor was always the leading factor with the success of the series, so I am sure that is well taken care of this time. SP has always had incredible attention to detail, so I am not worried about that. I would love to hear anything regarding the MP design. I don't want to hear "SOON" anymore. That word has been so overused on this site that it has lost it's integrity.

    Did you saw the multiplayer objects in the editor? If yes then you guys know something about the multiplayer too?

    We know nothing about multiplayer, only thing we know is that it's going to be asymmetrical, as stated in the eurogamer video
