Far Cry 2's map editor is flipping amazing

Here's your jaw dropping amazing video of the day. After the break (or jump, if you're all about BIG videos) you can view a demo of Far Cry 2's map editor in action with commentary by a seductive narrator (not that we're complaining or anything). And it's a guarantee that you'll be impressed. Seriously, we had no clue Far Cry 2's map editor would be so vast, so customizable and so epic in scale. There are over 1000 objects, you can change the weather, the landscape AND even alter the environment's textures. It's hard to admit, but Far Cry 2's map editor puts Halo 3's Forge to shame. Hell, there is no comparison. We're flipping impressed with what the Far Cry 2 dev team has accomplished. A big round of applause to them.

Amazing!!!

Holy crap awesome. But I wonder what Bungie was teasing in their acceptance video...it seemed like it might be some kind of a map editor.

Wow this game is looking better and better. I just hope it doesn't get delayed more.

Cool. This looks like the old FC editor hopped up on steroids. I love how forests and grass can be set on fire. Very cool!

Some things that I would add are NPC's or maybe animals such as deer, bears, birds, pigs, cows, etc. just to make it more interactive. Also, somone mentioned tunnels. Tunnels are a must. Give us tunnels. Tunnels are awesome. We need tunnels! I can imagine a mountainous rugged island complete with a labyrinth of tunnels and hidden jungle passage ways. A cache of weapons stored in a hidden underground chamber. Maybe an underground lake? Dang I'm getting excited thinking about it (hey I'm a nerd). But it already looks amazing, so I'll be happy regardless.

Amazing! I'm looking forward to creating all sorts of maps from all sorts of games.

I know this is nothing compared to some PC game map editors, but for a 360 game, this is some impressive stuff.

my friends and i had tons of fun and puts lots of hours into our maps and playing them in FC for the 360. good times. sooo when this releases will X3F do up a game night with fan created maps?

Wow look, its what's been available on the PC since ooohh... 1993 WITH DOOM! Now I love both my 360 and my PC, but it still boggles my mind that people are wowed by a map editor.
