IGN Video: Far Cry 2 Xbox 360 Developer Commentary - The Map Editor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAPkG8MkJCg
you know i never took the time to look into the far cry series or the map editor. This made my jaw drop and i'm actually considering purchasing Far Cry 2.
all halo 3 has for me is forge. the far cry 2 editor beats forge BY FAR after looking at that video. Sure it's a completely different style of map editting and you really can't compare but i see myself having more fun making far cry maps.
yeah i have the far cry instincts predator for xbox 360, its amazing, multiplayer is a bit sketchy, but i still love it. i consider far cry 2 a definite purchase to anyone who is undecided. by the way, great find fiery. =) EDIT: TIMEOUT: theyre making a halo 3 map maker!!!!!!!!! someone post some information about this and let me know!!!!!
It's like a streamlined and expanded version of the FarCry Instincts map maker! That's a very, very good thing.
Wow the realism in this game make GTA4 and COD4 look like it's *****. The map editor is the greatest for a console, but you cant make ANYTHING like in forge but still this beats forge by a landslide.
Yeah I just watched the video and yeah... That one speculation post texturedsun posted indicated the possibility of some of this stuff, which I would still care about a lot more than far cry. Theres a chance far cry 2 multiplayer will completely blow ass which for my interests would negate the map editor anyway.
My guess is that FC2 will play like COD4 minus the perks and customization. Because the maps are so large with vehicles it probably is up to 16 people or more.
It is very different than halo 3. From what I see in far cry, it is more of a terrain editor. While that definitely affects gameplay, much of forge is almost entirely about the gameplay. And if the information about forge from Bungie is true, then we might be competing with Far Cry.
I think its 16 player. I think there is a health system, but the glory with the editor is you are free to add health packs where you like, and if you don't want any you don't have to. There was alot of changes you could make with the gametypes in FC:IP. Not as much as Halo, but plenty to do. Theres also a big variety of gametypes. Much more interesting than Halo. I can't wait for this game. Best game of all time IMO. Ubisoft are legends. From the diversity FC:IP offered, i know this game is going to be sweet. In FC:IP it wasn't all about managing the terrain. I made quite a few maps on flat ground. Large objects can be 'interlocked' and the precision available is astounding.
Thats amazing, I think I just had a nerdgasm. -weather -time of day -destructable environments -realistic, spreading fires Incredible. I'm most definatly going to get this game now, I think'll I'll try to make my neighborhood first.
I wasn't originally gonna get this game, but this video is changing my mind. I got a lot of ideas for this. I wonder if you can create maps with other people. P.S. Woot 400th post.
It would be great to make like a whole district of a city or a harbor. In the first farcry you could make the entire map covered in water (Actually how the map start).
HOLY SH*T!!! thats the most amazing thing ever... thats crazy!! i don't know what to say!! when does it come out?!? i have to get this game1!!!! forgehub needs a farcry maps section!! thats awesome!!!! OH MY GOD..... thats way better than halos forge!!! basically the only game i have played by them is Heroes of Might and Magic.... thats amazing though..... lol
in the first one you couldnt, but me and my friend made a map together by doing it with one controller, one island a B and one island a G, but this map editor is a lot more better, if that makes sense.... P.S. Woot 250th post.
