One of the most exciting aspects of the new Far Cry 2 from Ubisoft was the return of the Map Editor.
More than a map editor (yes, we’re looking at you Forge) the Far Cry map maker allows full customization of the terrain, natural elements, man made objects and spawn/weapons locations. The ability to change almost everything makes the possibilities almost endless. For the record, I am using the Xbox 360 version.
Let it be know first off that I have been a fan of the Far Cry series for years. Having played the first Far Cry on PC and then Xbox, as well as Predator on Xbox 360, I know where the series has come from and what I thought I could expect. With the release of Far Cry 2 last week, I was ecstatic to see what Ubi Montreal was going to bring to us this time around.
A good friend said Far Cry 2 is a first person shooter in a GTA world. I think that sums it up quite nicely.
The Mrs. turned me on to a new site last week and I must say, I am hooked. gamerDNA.com provides an excellent resource for those who don’t have their own site or simply want to network with other gamers and find clans/guilds.This free service is tied to the site 360voice.com, which has been a winner in my book for some time.
