Map Editor

• A camera tool, built into the editor
• The map is 512m x 512m, which is roughly 2x the size of FC:IP
• There have been rumours that you can only place 6 vehicles at once
• Full map sharing ability. Private and Public map sharing capability
• Thousands of placable objects,
• The ability to go from editor to player and back again with 1 button
• Freedom from the game engines when editing, absolutely no interferance - Bliss
• The undo button - Uncomfirmed, but more than likely
• Unparrallelled precision. Using the D-Pad to fine tune the location, height or length of an object
• The new ability to place Roads anywhere, with a cool new tool.
• The ability to place dynamic objects, that make maps feel more alive
• Dynamic lighting, shadows, weather and the all important, fire proporgation.
• The ability to set time of day (down to the minute) and set the likelyhood of storms.
• The ability to add wildlife (like birds seen in the second video)
• A vast array of weapons and vehicles (im guessing 30 of each)
• Huge customisation when it comes to vehicles and weapons. Each teams vehicles can be invidually coloured
• 4 gametypes - Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the diamonds, Uprising

Singleplayer

• There is over 80 hours of singleplayer
• The single player will feature a currency, with weapon shops
• There are side missions, which include assassinations.
• You can not go prone (lie down)
• You can choose your character, from a preset selection of about 8
• The game area is about 50km, with no loading screens whatsoever
• There are over 30 weapons, and from what i have seen, over 30 vehicles too.
• Map sharing is available across all consoles, and us supposedly all controlled on the console.
• There is a system where if you make a map you are always its creator, so maps cannot be stolen.

Gameplay Pictures

Well, the way this game has been going, its going to be the best game of all time. And to be honest, thats no suprise to me. Ubisoft is the most successful gaming company in the world. Look at the games they have created.

The amount of detail that is going into FarCry 2 is phenominal. Just look at the options it leaves for the player. The game features a completely open 50km of land, with every corner bieng capable of exploration from the beginning of the game. Dynamic Light, Shadows and Vegetation. If you start a fire, it will spread, and spread.

The 'Level Editor' looks like the best feature, for me atleast. If anyone has played any of the FarCry 1 games, they will realise how great Ubisoft make a map editor. It was a truly stunning specticle. The capability to create absolutely anything, there is literally no limit to it.

I am thoroughly looking foreward to this game, i hope some of you guys are!

I know i cant wait for it to come out, i hope they still have a really good map editor in-game.

the graphics look amazing

[TDHarding]

Wow the visuals look phenomenal, definitely going to get this.
I remember the first one being a blast and if the map creator is as good as you say it will be then this will be one hell of a game.

Also I can remember reading something about the vast amount of detail going into the game like trees that re-grow after an amount of time after destruction which sounds pretty cool.

i just want it for the map editor b/c brown boxes make me sick :'(

I really can't wait for this, I recently thought it was only coming out for PC but I am glad to see it on the consoles if the map editior is anything near as good as the last one Forge Hub will become Far cry hub.

found this interview.

[Matty]

I would still call it FarCry Forge.

I added the interview link to the first post.

Was a good interview, but nothing i didn't already know.

New games like this make me wonder how far Bungie is going to push the boundaries for their new game.
Halo3 was amazing and still is when it comes to the graphics, but wow... Just wow

[Matty]

Not only that, but this is 50km of open terrain. The farthest hills on that image are reachable, and i bet those are only a few Km away.

Wow... I can't see me liking this game but it sure shows what's possible doesn't it.
I'm not much for war type shoot 'em ups. I'm not into the present time era of shoot 'ems. Only futuristic types =]
But yeah, I'd certainly download the demo to check out how amazing it looks.
Even the BadCompany demo is amazing looking, details! ♥

I use to play Xbox 360 Far Cry and its map editor was awesome. There’s still a bunch of people who still play and create maps on the old game. I wonder how long forge will “last”. By the way, do you think this site will support Far Cry 2 or make a sister site or something once the game comes out, FarHub perhaps?
