an idea for the sequal

I love the idea because mission builders are awesome in general.

It might be a big build though, heh sounds like a top down RTS game.

Did Far Cry 2 ship with the Map Editor on consoles, or just PC?
That thing is advanced as hell, way more intense than what you're describing - basically parameters and units into an existing map, right?

I'd be on board for sure. But i'd still be voting for a dynamic campaign structure first; that is my all-time favorite way to play.

It would be amazing if a game shipped with a feature like yours, guilty but I see it being a DLC content feature perhaps. A tough call; DLC is released to make money first n foremost but mission builders are a hardcore players' tool (hence: niche).

Hmm. I say ship it with.

Like Falcon 4.0! That was an awesome campaign mode man.

Yeah, putting existing units onto existing maps is how the PC version works. You can still have a lot of fun though, and setting up anti-ship missions is a particular favourite of mine.

hitting a carrier with a 2000 pound bomb from 5000 feet = win

And European Air War ....Aces Over Europe/The Pacific....etc.

Really its like an auto mission builder using historical info from whatever battle/squadron/timeline you choose.

And the really good campaigns mix in an epic scripted historical mission when certain dates come up.

Not completely the same. Falcon 4.0 was the most complex dynamic campaign I've ever seen. It was also praised by all the critics for its complexity.

This was discussed a long time ago and Anton said console editors are hard to make, but FarCry2 and OFP Elite had fine editors.

I would like to see this in a DLC since it will INFINITELY expand gameplay especially if you could invite at least one person in it with you.
