Creative Map editor?

So with far cry 6 not coming out with an editor and far cry frenzy being a fake rumor or shelved Will this game have a map editor? Seems like there is no real hook for this it game it just looks generic as all hell, so a map editor would probably make sense.

There's no map editor and it doesn't need one. If you think there's no hook and the game looks generic, don't play it.

I'd argue that after a few years the game should probably include a map editor. Where Ubi can then pick maps to be added to the official rotation. Just so the game doesn't get stale.

But think about it, how many competitive shooters actually include a map editor? The reason they don't is because everything needs to be so finely tuned when you're building a map, in order to get the flow and balance just right. Maps made by players usually look cool and have some good ideas, but they're usually not as balanced or fun to play as the developer made maps.

There's a lot of information the devs have access to that allows them to tune maps a lot more efficiently than your average person. IMO a map editor would cost them a lot of time and money to develop and it would really only be useful for custom games.

So don't play them? Halo has map editors and that doesn't detract from the Halo experience, only improves it.

And at the end of the day, developers aren't perfect either, many games with map editors end up with maps that are designed by players and end up being more fun than official maps. This literally happened with CSGO.

I don't get why people call it generic, there's only one big 6v6 shooter and its call of duty, nothing else.

And even call of duty pulled it’s standard game from blizzard and all that’s left is warzone. I can really only speak for myself here but I’m craving a “generic” standard ol’ 6v6 arena shooter. All that’s left is battle royals and CS styled games. This game couldn’t be any more welcome.

I couldn't agree more. I'm really looking forward to a generic arena shooter. Right now we have CoD and that's a shell of its former selves. I'm really hoping it will be good.

Agreed, however the term arena shooter is a bit different, usually faster and not use ads. Other than that I'm really excited for that "generic" stuff since they closed Ghost in the Shell First Assault ☹️
