    This could be the best thing ever providing the MP works well and we can Host our maps with some fine options but I am concerned and can't wait to hear how it works.

    How could a PC map with lots of extras ever work on an older console ? The PC usually has no grid limit to how many items it can handle in a single grid square.
    If this works then it will really help everyone in the map making community because we can all share no matter what platform - that would be the coolest thing ever.

    that's cool!...but just thinking....i hope not between old & new gen...coz if so...that means that new gen editor is limited to fit the old gen editor

    Maybe they have a setting that detects items per grid limit and once you hit that it won't allow you to place anything else in.
    So every map should work on PC but for PC or XB1 / PS4 to get a map working on 360 / PS3 they might have to make something which is possibly downgraded to what that platform can handle (just guessing here)

    I hope that XB1 and PS4 have a bigger allowance than the older consoles, now people will be pushing boundaries and sharing more - this could bring the community together like nothing before.

    WOW! That is a dream come true. There have been so many great maps from great map makers that I have always wanted to check out from other platforms.. Now I can?! Very nice.

    I was hoping that the next gen consoles would be less restricted with map editor and a little more similar to the PC's editor. With this news, I wonder if the editor across all platforms will be limited to what the 360 is capable of.

    This is actually a REALLY huge deal for me. I've said I believe in credit where credit is due so massive points for Ubisoft here. If we get the rest of the things were asking for then I may buy two copies day one (PC X1).

    I just listened to that again, maybe the wording "share maps across platforms" could just mean that all platforms allow others to share maps for their respective platform, or as you said it could also be share maps on all platforms which I would word as cross platform sharing.

    I am not going to get my hopes up for this yet although a Golf Game recently allowed golf courses that were created in the editor to be shared on other platforms, until this is confirmed I am not going to get too excited although if it happens it will be one of the best things yet in a Far Cry game.

    HOLYYYY CRAP.

    Cross platform sharing would be a MEGATON. Or a terrible idea. One or the other. I just hope that cross platform sharing doesn't limit the editor in unreasonable ways. I really wish we could hear about this already....

    Would be great, as long as you aren't mixing new gen with last gen. PS4-XBONE-PC map sharing would be rad!!.
