That puts him in a prime position to assess Far Cry 5’s map editor, called Far Cry Arcade. He has been in the thick of the series’ ever-expanding toolset since Far Cry 2 and still provides some of the best playable maps available today. Unfortunately, that prestigious position has been compromised with the arrival of Far Cry 5.ĪW Lost Soldier is one of the Far Cry series’ greatest map creators – as proven by his win of the official Ubisoft Far Cry 3 map-making competition back in 2013. In just two iterations, Ubisoft had created a map editor to rival the best – not even Halo’s Forge mode matched the quality of the Far Cry Editor. Then came Far Cry 4, which was the game that introduced shareable single-player experiences to the series. It started with Far Cry 3’s map editor, which allowed for the editing of single-player scenarios alongside multiplayer maps. Speaking to Rock Paper Shotgun in 2008, Far Cry 2’s creative director Clint Hocking explained that, “Our world is a single continuous 50km square open world, and there would be no way to even ENTER a user-made map from that world, even if it was possible.” That way of thinking would soon change. Initially, unlike the original game, Far Cry’s map creation suites only allowed players to create multiplayer environments, instead of single-player content.
