    SP Custom Map Review/Your feedback

    I wanted to get some feedback on how everyone likes playing the SP custom maps so far. I'm posting another video I found on youtube regarding such feedback. The person who made the video stated that, "He really enjoyed the gameplay of the map". He also stated that it was his favorite SP custom map so far. When I was watching the video, I see:

    1. Spawn and pick up weapons
    2. Ride jet ski over to another island
    3. Locate A.I. w/binoculars
    4. Sneak up behind a building
    5. Kill all A.I.

    The whole sequence seemed very uneventful. I'm asking this not to bash the map/SP IGE, but to get feedback on other players thoughts/opinions on it. If I find others are really enjoying this, it might give me some incentive to get into the editor and create a custom map. Thanks for any input.

    I think plenty is said about the mapeditor of FC4. For me the mapeditor has been the heart of every FC game I played. Made dozens of maps in past.
    But putting loads of energy into a map I can only play alone is not worth my time.

    If Ubisoft would allow PvP maps I would start building like crazy, but now I dont see the point.
    Although the mapeditor looks epic. Still upset that devs decided this. It will probably mean the end of editors in FC franchise. As with FC5 they will look at the data and see hardly anyone is using it ... the word is short-sided for this I think

    The person making the video has done a complete 180 from 'Ubisoft should listen to their community' to 'It's their game and they can do what they like'.

    The map is made by a game developer, which may also explain why it's his favourite map so far. I haven't looked to see if maps show number of downloads etc the way previous FC have, but that may give some indication of whether or not it's worth investing time in it? Personally I wouldn;t invest much time in something for just my own play, as I'd obviously know exactly where everything is and when it's coming, so I think th eincentive is really only there if significent amounts of opther people are enjoying your efforts, not sure if this is shown.

    I've played some very detailed and fun maps that were created by both Ubisoft and Fans; many of the ones that I played and enjoyed the most through were created by fans and did have a hell of a great job because the fans know what they want better then the creators do?
