    Reasons Why the SP IGE doesn't excite me.

    After being let down about the lack of MP IGE for FC4, here are some of the reasons I'm not excited about the SP IGE. Please shed some light as to way I should be excited.

    1. The A.I will be in the same spots and do the same thing each time I play. Where's the replay value in that?

    2. I love escape maps, but playing them by myself? Playing escapes maps with others is what makes them fun.

    3. As a map maker, we all like to bring in others while our map is taking shape. Run around your map with others to get ideas. Can't do that now? Yes others can still download it, but it's going to get frustrating trying to explain to the map creator what you're talking about in their map.

    4. The A.I were complete morons in FC3, I hope FC4 is different. If not, people will loose interest quickly. Maybe a difficulty setting option will help?

    5. What if I only want to look around at someone's map. After all, most of us mappers love to check out each others work. Can we take out the A.I, so we can simple look around? Maybe extraction mode will accomplish this?

    My prediction is that the SP IGE maps will have very little replay value and if the A.I don't have half a brain cell, the self-life will be short lived. Feel free to add to my list or add reasons why I should get this game for the SP IGE. I'm already experiencing IGE withdrawls!

    From what I understand, you can place the AI wherever you want on the map, set up patrols, give them instructions, etc. At least that's what I've heard, I could be wrong. It wouldn't really make much sense to have a SP IGE if you couldn't control the AI.

    1.You can make them different routes,add patrols,make them do what you want.This ME is a bit denser than others.
    2.Can't argue with this.Escape maps won't be any fun playing them by yourself unles they are done good.
    3.Don't really understand this...
    4.I think AI this time is a bit smarter because no one had any complaints regarding this in any reviews I read.I also believe that there is a difficulity setting somewhere in the editor.
    5.You can download a map and take out the AI through editor.I'm not sure about this but isn't there an explore mode or something like that?

    I believe that SP maps in ME could be really fun if they are done right.I know there are a lot of you guys that are really creative and that you will publish some great maps.Looking forward to play your maps!
