Working on my second far Cry 3 custom map (xbox)

[Shilka]

I've been working on this custom map for a while now, and I thought it might be interesting to post so you can see a custom map in development using the FC3 mapeditor. The posts are a shameless copy of what I posted on FCmaps.net, so the text might be a bit awkward at times;

Suffer city will be a 12-14 player city/town map for all play modes.
The city has a river flowing through it, and is built on uneven ground, so it's taking its sweet time to tuck buildings in and do the rough detailing such as fences and stuff. So far I'm spending around an hour per building without any fine detailing, so this will take a while.

So far I have around 40% of the buildings placed, and i took some pics as they talk louder then words
First a couple overview shots;






Next up is a small vegetable market for local residents which is tucked in between some houses, it will be a domination capture point later.

Here's a view down the south end of town, to the left the local bar, at the end the gasstation which has a firestorm fuelsupply.

Here's the garage with small scrapyard, it has one wide main entrance and 2 wall breaches, it will hold another fuelsupply as well as be a domination capture point.

So this is what I have so far after around 14 hours of building. Hope you like it so far and will try to keep this topic updated. I hope to have the large objects ready by next weekend, then I'll be taking my sweet time to detail it

jfyi, there has been 4 days between this post and the previous one... Onwards with the shameful copy and pasting;


Time for an update, as I have finally put down all buildings and crude details (mostly fences) down in the play area. I've also done the natrural backfill outside the play area. Time to start detailing

But first some pictures of the progress I've made;


First some overview pictures

A view on the collapsed radio tower, one of the dishes is the firestorm radio capture point

This farm fills one of the lesser used area's. The windmill is suitable for snipers, if you time your shots to go between the blades

The fishmarket is a capture point for domination mode

That's it so far, I hope I'll be able to get the further detailing, playzone vegetation and spawns ready this weekend. Would be cool to be able to play it with you guys (xbox required )

Looks great NT!

BTW, can this be ported onto a PC?

 

[Shilka]

nope, there's no way to port between platforms
however, if you're interested in looking at some good custom maps check fcmaps.net out, there's already a bunch of good stuff out. they have a maps section, and the pc ones often have a download attached.

Allright, the map is done, released it yesterday, the name is Suffer City.
The map already went silver while I was sleeping, so thanks to all for hosting, playing and voting for it

The finishing touches were quite a balancing act, as I reached grid maximum on 3 gridsquares, but I managed to get all the detail in that I wanted.
Here's some concluding screens (sorry for the poor quality of some of them)

I didn't even know you could do that kind of stuff, looks ace d00d! Very impressive :icon_cool:

Looks really good. I'll have to pick this up on Xbox.

Well, someone liked my map so much he made a video about it. Pretty cool because it gives you the chance to have a bit closer look at it too
