Rather a shame, and hopefully the map editor will be restored to its former glory with future updates. Sure, dropping down a bunch of elephants for a single player skirmish map will be fun, but it’s a step back from what people used to be able to do with this tool. With all that in mind, this trailer for the map editor doesn’t quite tell the whole story. Ubisoft claims that co-op maps are coming to Far Cry 4’s editor, but seems a lot less sure about other multiplayer maps. The Far Cry map creation community is understandably a bit pissed off about this, since that kind of multiplayer functionality is what made Far Cry 3’s map editor such a big hit in the first place. Done with Far Cry 4 Liberated every outpost, unearthed every treasure, skinned every animal, did whatever it is you're supposed to be doing by finding all. But the real highlight is the focus on player choice.
Arguably every aspect of the game was updated in Far Cry 4, with a completely new survival storyline to play through, and of course another self-serving villain to as engaged as possible.
No co-op maps, no competitive multiplayer maps. While many still consider Far Cry 3 to be the best in the series, Far Cry 4 is almost always a close second. Ubisoft’s world cannot continue to turn unless it’s accompanied by an aggravated community, and the Far Cry 4 map editor is no exception to this rule at present, it only supports single player maps. I’m pretty sure this is what most people would do on their first go with the editor.
