Here's your jaw dropping amazing video of the day. After the break (or jump, if you're all about BIG videos) you can view a demo of
Far Cry 2's map editor in action with commentary by a seductive narrator (not that we're complaining or anything). And it's a guarantee that you'll be impressed. Seriously, we had no clue
Far Cry 2's map editor would be so vast, so customizable and so epic in scale. There are over 1000 objects, you can change the weather, the landscape AND even alter the environment's textures. It's hard to admit, but
Far Cry 2's map editor puts
Halo 3's Forge to shame. Hell, there is no comparison. We're flipping impressed with what the
Far Cry 2 dev team has accomplished. A big round of applause to them.

Yes you can, there will be a central server that you can load / download games to plus vote on the content.
I really hope the cave making tool is in the game, like in Crysis.

That's incredible! More fuel for the fire; Far Cry 2 is on my shortlist this year for sure.
They just moved the release date to October 21 from the 7th according to IGN, and that's going to be a BIG day for us gamers; Dead Space and Fable II also hit that same day.
(My birthday is the 25th...)

Even the the previous far cry instincts and far cry predator map editors for the xbox1 put halo 3's forge to shame! Cool editor tho I hope Far Cry 2 is as good as ever!

yeah, i found that i spent more time using the map editor in that game than i did playing the actual game, it was amazing.
p.s. I like the new comment box, looks very swish.

What are you talking about?! The first one was amazing!

The first one was good... on the computer. I'm not sure if I want this on PC or not. Probably based on what my friends get it on will determine what I get it on.

Well this a is a map maker not editior and Forge was never meant to be this. It was just made to tweak and edit maps even foundry had this concept in mind but due to gliches like inter/geo locking more was able to be accomplished. However with that new Halo video showing a blank blue grid. Bungie may just have a way to impliment a map "Maker" into Halo 3 and if this does happen, that would be the thing to compare with far crys MM not forge.
On another note FCs Map maker looks very good i just wonder if you will be able to co-op map make.

Gotcha.

Well in my opinion Halo 3 is old news. It has had its fifteen minutes of fame. Far Cry 2 Map Maker puts Halo 3 forge to shame. Bungie is running out of ideas. Thats why they are putting out an RTS.

At the risk of sounding like a Halo fanboy, Forge wasn't trying to be a full level editor. It wasn't even a "level" editor. It was a collaboative object editor and it did things completely differently. If you were to collaboatively edit a map like this in Farcry 2, that would be coming close. In fact, it SHOULD be a feature, considering the complexity necesarry.
However, THIS is totally awesome. As long as we can play all manner of game types and share creations freely, this will be amazing. Can't wait.

Yes, you sound like a halo fanboy. Sorry.
Halo should have done it like this the first time. FCI:Predator did. And that came out shortly after launch. Oh, well. Maybe next time Bungie.
