So for each new map has contained an original map palette... Except for the alternate versions of river city and frozen city. But anyway. Original map palettes that have only every been used once.

Please don't tell me they aren't using pallets and are actually hand sculpting every surface and rock.

Now what if the community had the option to make maps using the existing palettes. Every month we could dig around and vote for 10 community generated maps and then the Map Director at PGI (or whatever his job title is) could choose one map to be included into the game.

You could reward the winner with MC. Effectively, in store credit.

This would double (or triple) map production without significantly increasing map production costs.

The big trick is of course that PGI would have to supply the community with their map creation tools. Likely they would have to stop and polish them for public use.

This would also likely increase the efficiency of in house map production.

Carry on.

there are a ton of threads already on this topic.

One of the best is over under the Fan Art section.

It goes into how to extract the art from the sources files and then use it. CrysisEngine3 has an editor, which you can then import the art into and create your own maps.

Now the big question out is would PGI every use a user created maps.

Standards would need to be very high.


Halos 'forge world' maps were NOT up to par if any of you remember....


But yes it would be cool. I used to map for mw4 and it was a great community effort and kept things fresh.

They should have map contests, then select the best map every month. Would definitely keep things fresh and the community involved.

I would make maps, or more like because I am an untalented rock, I'd make map concepts and hope someone helps me.

Only if we kept them separate from the PGI created maps. If there was a way to have a partisan in the server for people willing to put up with player created maps.
