Far Cry 2 Map Editor & other ideas

[mikepurdy1234]

I am not trying to say anything that might be copyright but I love the Far Cry 2 Map Editor...

I have always said that if Far Cry 2 would have made a single player element into that editor... that game would have taken over the world.

So this is my request to ManiaPlanet (covers all manias) play with that editor and make it better. The things that I feel that would have made it better are:

#1: Single player spawn point creator
Being able to place a doorway and a single player spawn point just on the other side and have a massive # of bots spawn from that location would be awesome. This would also allow for co-op games of many players vs many computer bots (also good for RPG raids). I would love to try and push back computer bots that are trying to take a location.

#2: environments
Snow, Desert, scifi, grass, forrest, space, underwater, swimming... many other new environments could be a DLC type of thing or expansion. start simple with snow, grass, and scifi.

#3: Upgrades
Graple hooks, jetpacks, gas masks, stun guns (funny), full cloak. You could also try out other funny ideas like turn into bush (for snipers), or hide in shadow (for knife kills).

#4 Free to download (the reason Trackmania broke records)
mini transactions that give your avatar a new look and customize your weapons. You could also price the upgrades per day; like full cloak for a day, or unlimited jetpack fuel for a day (great for air battles). The reason there are millions of players on Trackmania is because they can download it for free. Pirates will find a way to get their copy for free, and you will be forced to put in measures that might offend people. This will also deter any hackers that might try to get upgrades for free; give them cool hacks for days rent.

#5 Vehicles
Tank battles rock, Heli veterans are mean because they are too good (you may have to gimp them). boats would be cool. Take a lesson from Battlefield 2; they have loads of maps that allow boats, tanks, and Heli.

#6 Forts
Trying to take over a base I think is the most fun you can have. Reaching the command center of a base that took me and my guys 4 hours to push into is perfect. Also, large towers that require lots of stairs are ok.
Houses that you can hide in and custom create would be awesome. Start with a few base templates and let people show you how they would like to protect. from a base camp all the way up to a castle with only one entry way.

#7 MMOFPS
I love the idea of single player maps... that is the point of this post. But you should also allow for massive battles (also good for rpg raids). 4 player SWAT matches, 8 player mini matches and 60 V 60 all out fire fights (D-Day, King of the hill, bloodbath... and 16 player co-op with bots)

#8 Summary
Single player, Vehicles, Powerups, Free to download, mini transactions.

ManiaPlanet with its 3 user created game types are going to break records... if you can play it on low end systems, is free, and will have places that hackers can rent hacks for a day.

also... keep the people with the power ups in their own space... I'm not good at shooters... but I love them

Uhm...
Far Cry is not able to take over the world because it doesnt work on low-end laptops like i have.

Don't compare Casual FPS games to Arcadic FPS nadeo games!

thanks from bringing your expertise. I think our editor is different but it is always interesting to read what player really liked or wish (even if I really prefer to learn about the likes than the wishes)

and by the way, we are now part of the group that develop and own FarCry2

Hi Florent!

Then you know that they should have made a way for NPC Ai single player mode in Far Cry 2.

Battlefield 2 (through 3rd party mods) had single player maps... they didn't have to make a path for the Ai, they simply added NPC to be able to spawn in.

this is solo deathmatch
