    I am using Xbox One version.
    My friends can't find them either when they choose "My Friends Maps"
    That search by "My Friends Maps" now works, It worked for me on PS4 and XB1 recently - Not sure when they fixed it - possibly the last update. I will check out your maps on XB1 OldManOBIE if I can find them.

    farcry 2 is so much better

    Farcry 2 is and was so much better first the mp lobby system that they had to create themselvs is better than any game played today you could have up to 16 people i think it was and a ****ing playlist hello playlist are awesome and set each map in the list for play style play length score to win player level start time limit everything what game has a better lobby system? Plus on all systems a totall of over 250,000 maps made granteed alot suck but still fc3 is a ghost town fc4 mp is just stupid the editor does not work as intended the game kinda sucked for long time fans. Have you heard about fc5? You buy a ticket to the san dieago zoo and kill animals skin them make a bigger purse climb towers but thats it no bad guys thats it they said thats what we fans wanted hell no i would play big game hunting first the hunting was a small part of farcry that they stoled from red dead redemtion ubi needs to listen but sadly wont

    Just a quick note to those having troubles placing zip lines.

    Attach a small object such as a fence post to one end of the zip line, select zip line then the post and use the post axis to locate that end. Rotate until the other end is right. This works well with any large or small object that the axis is in the wrong place.

    My suggestions.

    1) During publication, allow a revised map to replace an existing one. Otherwise, updated maps tend to displace good maps from the "New" groupings. It's also confusing to see a bunch of maps with the identical name in the browser.
    2) A robust way for players to provide feedback to mapmakers. The rating system is insufficient.
    3) Allow a 1-5 star rating that can be edited after additional plays. Those who skip voting should have no impact.

    How about something simple like this

    I like that but wonder what "Skip Rating" would mean for scoring. If it's going to map to 5 stars, the middle one needs to be neural (3) and there should be a separate skip, which I suggest should be ignored. Having "Skip" map to 3 would seem inappropriate. And I would use different words: HATE/DISLIKE/NEUTRAL/LIKE/LOVE.

    As far as I know "Skip Rating" means just that, no rating, good or bad. I've seen a post that it was 2.5 stars but I don't think so. We're too far around the barn now for them to do anything with FC4. Wouldn't be fare to maps already rated to change it now. Hopefully they will do FC5 different.

    map editor what i want to see

    I love the game first off second the Ai units dont act like the game ones, make them more reactive to loud gun fire and everyone moving and going to the alarm or enemy, also i would love to see a competitive map editor i missed that in 3 with no internet

    Thanks to the map editors

    I took the time to come log in to this message board just to say there are some great custom maps being created, and I'm so glad to stumble upon the Map Browser after finishing the full campaign of Far Cry 4. This has made the game that much more worth it, and some of the maps/games I've played so far are really clever and entertaining. I wish I had the attention span to build maps, but certainly happy someone's been putting in the time.

    Thanks!

    I only just recently got FC4 for playing/creating custom maps for coop, and am messing around with the map editor. Already some improvements come to mind, like custom water level grid size (SMALLER), scripted events (free prisoners, assassinate target(s), remove pamphlets, deliver packages) and such. But I take it the game/Map Editor won't be updated anymore.

    HOWEVER, if Ubisoft decide to release some 'Remastered' package with all of the Far Cry's games, assets, features and game modes (SP+PVPs+coops), flung together into one sandbox-enabled package (let's hypothetically call this 'Far Cry: Sigma', Sigma being the 'sum of it all' ) and with a definitive editor even capable of linking maps, resizing objects, palette-changing, texture offsetting, plus handling custom imported assets, textures and sounds/scripts), then this project would be THE GO TO FPS to dive into for years to come. Even though the Dunia engine has some annoyances, the FC gameplay is fun!
