I'm working on my final solo map on FC2. I've got a few co-op maps projects that are in progress, but this will be the last maxpower map. It's been fun mapping again for the last month or so, but I think I've done all I can do with this editor.

I decided to do another re-make, this time of one of my favorite movies - Gangs of New York. It features the five points area with side streets, and Paradise Square in the center. This map is about 75% complete, and still keeping the meter out of the red. Mostly ground details to complete. I'm not sure how it will play but not too concerned about it. The structures are 100% custom, and built to match the set from the movie. It should be wrapped up in the next week.

We'll see about FC3. Ubi has burned some bridges with me...you know what I'm talking about. Their support is a joke so I plan to be completely underwhelmed if there is a FC3. I'm probably going to do another PC map for FC2 with the new stuff in the editor. I also have Call of Juarez, which has a map and scenario editor that I want to mess with more.

I told the dev about that map count problem in late January. They updated it once then, but it appears its only being done manually now. I asked him about the ranked maps back in October, and he said that things had slowed down (he was on AC2 team I believe) and that they would be doing another big round soon. Not much more I can tell you, that's why I not enthusiastic about them getting it right for FC3.

Don't blame you mate if that's the case........I personally never really try and contact them about anything because I hear they are useless all the time and I just play for playings sake, love of the Editor (for all it's failings) and have met some great people online through it.

Although I was never a fan of the film "Gangs Of New York" that map is looking awesome, bet it's way better made than the film, going out with a bang eh

I've been toying with the idea of picking FC2 up on PC as well, just to see things you can do on it, the editor is far superior from what I've read.

Lol, I'm sure we can persuade him to stick around a bit.

Well I'm sure when that wears out, you'll be back to make some BF:BC2 maps for us.

Yep, COJ editor is the PC version only, but its alot more in depth than the FC editor (ChromeEd editor). You can create the terrain, layout, and AI. You can control how the AI reacts when you interact with it...make SP scenario maps or new MP maps. I've played with it enough to realize the possibilities, plus it's good to learn the ChromeEd editor.

I almost wish they would release FC3, then sell the editor separate. This would limit alot of the junk maps in the system, make them more $$, and allow a larger, more robust editor because its not packaged with the game (360 limitations). If they just had spent time on the FC2 MP mechanics it would have been a winner. It plays like Red Faction from PS2, in fact RF might have handled a bit better.

If Crysis2 makes it to PS3 I'm sure I'll be on that too. Never played Timesplitters so don't know what I'm missing there. I never cared much for LBP, and Modnation has some issues to work out in the editor before I'll join in on that. You are right tho...if someone realizes the potential for the level creation thing with a good MP, it will be an epic win.
