Custom Maps in FarCry 2

[Bucko]

Nip was wondering how to get some remakes of favorite BF2 maps, so I am putting this info here to make it easier to find

To look for the Karkand map, you just click down this path from the multiplayer menu:

Multiplayer
-- Map Community
------ Download New Maps
-------------- Custom Map Search

Then in the map name box type "Karkand". I brought up one hit, that may or may not be the one you saw depending on how the name was spelled.

The custom map editor and the map publishing/sharing features in this game are like have never been done before. This is why I see myself playing this game two years from now. If they can just get a couple of the annoyances worked out I think its the next big thing.

Just to add to the above --- the easiest way to play the map is probably to create a server with the map and wait for others to join. Or you can look for server that's running the map and just join that one.

If you want to create a server running custom maps, it must be a Player server and not a Ranked server. Dedicated servers can put custom maps in their rotation as well. That said, running a player server has been hit or miss for me since the 1.02 patch. I can run a ranked server with no problems. I haven't tried updating Punkbuster on my end since the patch came out so I will try that tonight.

Thanks Bucko! Incredibly fast downloads. I went for City Life 1.1 which had a rating of 5 stars. Also got Lost crude, Car Park Chaos, and Karkand. Load at least one and lets try it out?
