From Big Download:
2008?s release of developer/publisher Ubisoft’s open world first person shooter Far Cry 2 was met with praise from critics and solid sales. Even before the game was released there was talk of making Far Cry 3. Now a new rumor from the pages of PC Gamer’s latest print magazine suggests that Far Cry 3 is in full production mode.

The magazine, in its rumor-filled Spy column, states that the game is “in full swing now” at Ubisoft’s Montreal studios. According to the article the game’s development is being lead by Josh Mosqueira, who previously worked over at Relic Entertainment as the lead designer for Company of Heroes. There’s no word on what the game might be about although previous suggestions about Far Cry 3 stated the game would stick to Far Cry 2?s African setting.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Far Cry 3 is the upcoming sequel to the 2008 video game Far Cry 2.[2]
The unnamed sequel is in preliminary stages of development. Far Cry 3 will continue to take place in the African setting. However, Kevin Shortt, an Ubisoft scriptwriter, mentioned that the Antarctic setting is a possibility for future games.[3] On 29th of August 2010 WebHallen.com and Game.se rumored that Far Cry 3 will be launched this year and will include Ubisoft's infamous DRM protection.


From totalvideogames.com
Well substantiated rumours surrounding Far Cry 3's all but officially announced existence have been flowing since before Far Cry 2 was even released in 2008, and now more speculation has been added to the pile with suggestions that the game's production is well underway at Ubisoft Montreal.

According to PC Gamer's latest issue (thanks, Big Download), Ubisoft Montreal is in full swing with development of the title, while the vacant Creative Director role on the Far Cry dev team (previously held by Clint Hocking before his move to LucasArts) has been filled by former Company of Heroes and Dawn of War Design Director at Relic Entertainment, Josh Mosqueira.

Mosqueira's Linkedin profile does appear to corroborate the story to a degree as he lists himself as a Creative Director at the Ubisoft Montreal studio (which developed Far Cry 2). The listing also reveals that he started work at the studio in October 2008, which would've been around the time that production commenced if previous rumours are to be believed.

If they make Antarctica I'm gonna make a Savannah map, a Tropical map, and a Desert map.

Crysis is a totally Different game from FC2... and if you're comparing to the original Far Cry... why? Crysis is way newer than Far Cry 1 anyhow.

Other than sweet graphics, Crysis doesn't seem to have much more than the usual FPSs out there. Plus all Far Cry games have had an editor and the Crysis 2 for consoles will likely not have an editor. On top of that, New york has... well it's been done to death by every movie and game out there. Unless they do something really special with it then it's just not as interesting an environment as even Africa.  As much as I get tired of Africa's rust and crud FC2 is pretty much the only game to do an African environment... Who hasn't done New york?

Well thanks to my censor, you'll have to remove "Those" in the url and replace it with "UBI" for it to work.
lol

Yeah a snowy game with a whole different set of foliage would be nice.  And skis would have to be in play somehow along with snow mobiles.
And there could be different kinds of snow you could use too.  Some slippery ice would be a nice touch.  Driving on that would be fun.  "Lets go do some donuts in the middle of a bunch of enemies."

Actually, Ubisoft Montreal developed all the console versions of Far Cry. The only Far Cry that Crytek developed was the original PC game.

I stand corrected.

You got 'payed' for your hard work and nice maps, don`t worry about it 
I`m sure there will be something like it in Farcry3

Its a bit weird if they put player maps in advance in the game. It would be nice if you can import old maps from Farcry2 and upgrade them.
Maybe you can ask for some beta`s for the site....Cdeez will ring a bell i think
