How do u make a maps that is Approved for Ranked on 360? Thats the question some would like to know. Who knows? If anyone dose know I really would like knowing. Thanks alot.

These's are things that I think may help u get it to Ranked Approved but this may or may not be true. But this is some Ideas. (NOTE: on XBOX 360)

1) Has to be a nice looking map. Thats set up very playable for each game type.

2) Not way off Farcry Theme maybe just a little. But dont go crazy with the map like Halo style or somthing.

3) Maybe somewhat to do with the rating & how many people download it also.

4) A good name & not never copied from other game including the layout of the map.

These are some ideas that I think may help ur odd's of geting ur map to ranked games.

The maps all that is Approved for Ranked on Farcry 2 on 360 is All things u may see. The Tree Village was a little out there off the FarCry game not to the old FarCry Instincts Predator. I think if u want one put on Ranked u have to keep it by the thing I have said befor.

If u keep it close to any FarCry game on Theme & also make it so it has good game play. Then I think it has a good chance of making it on the Ranked list. But you have to do a good job on the map also.

Keep it simple & sweet & then you may have somthing there.

Hope to get a map I make on the Ranked list.
I only have 2 maps at the time but want to make more. That I think suites the rule I think maybe close to correct to get it Approved for Ranked.

Well let me know anyone if u get the real rules to geting the map Approved to the Ranked map list.

Thanks all.

I think I can tell

We’ve had active discussions with the Map Council and for the first round of selections have asked them to come up with a short list.

Based on this list we picked the best suggestions and tested them (you may notice some were already on our UBI recommended list so we were already familiar with these maps).

Thanks for the reply, but where can I find this list if thats possible for next time u may add some maps? Also I would like geting a maps put to the list or try geting one on there later on, Right now I have not made but only 2 maps. but I been on Farcry making maps sence the old Farcry.

The maps I have made right now are good, But not as good as I can do. I would like trying to get one for you all to look at if ur the ones that do that, but at the time I dont have it made. I am working on 2 maps" Strike, & Hallow Village, But my one maps is ok but needed more detail. Its Called: Hidden Temple, I just redone that map. To make it alot better then the 1st Virsion.

So I doubt my Silent Hill Map will be on ranked.

I'm pretty sure it's simple on the core factors needed:

1) Nice Visuals
2) Smooth Running (doesn't lag)
3) Works for all Game Modes
4) Balances gameplay steadily
5) Nice map layout/size (combatible with 18 players)

You guys have no idea.

Check out Karr2966's maps on the PS3 console version.

Its me and my best friend spending WEEKS on these maps- modeled after great movie scenes, Bartertown(mad max), LV-426/Hadley's Hope (Aliens) Wei City (Full Metal Jacket) and many more. Please, we make these maps with the only intentions being other people having fun and maybe someday getting ranked. My best friend and I work SO ****ing hard on these maps, calling in sick to work, ignoring girlfriends and such.

Please. This is such a labor of love for us.

Please get ahold of me/us at jewnah@hotmail.com or karr2966 on the PS3 network. or siliconghost @ ps3 also.

How often will there be updates to this kind of list? Are the maps going to be rotated in and out or added?

these maps blow. with the exception of maybe one or two, one of them being renevista. Renevista is okay but not the greatest. alot of the maps are either too cluttered or have too many shadowed areas which make it terrible to see being that most of the characters are dark skinned. Most times you can only see just a gamer tag in the bushes or in the shadows. by that time, its just to late. Whats with the lighting in this game?

I am working on 2 maps hoping one may get put on there, to Ranked. Having ur own map u can play in ranked just sounds awesome.

But look at a default map for how they did the maps & go off that with ur own design.

1. *But Farcry is very fun, but wish they kept weapon pick up on the map maps like old Farcry. Also starting out with a default gun also using dimonds to buy upgrades for the guns online. Like a new scope or lager clip, silencer & so on.

2. The Make ur own Weapon Class, make it to run of a point system. where so u can just put a really good primary gun & a secondary gun too. make it to each gun use point & the classes has so many points alowed. So more starigy to get that perfect combo for each map. Like 10 points max, a really good shotgun uses 8, & a ok pistol takes 2 points. then u have ur class or u cam make it so equipment for u weapons use points too, so the new people have a chance too cuz they dont have equipment using all there points up.

But yes thats a IDEA for next Farcry.



*** SORRY GOT WAY OFF the topic lol.

But yep.
Custom maps in Ranked is cool hope i have one there someday!!!

That's your opinion, obviously there are people who disagree with you. It would be impossible to pick one map that every single person likes; there will always be somebody that will say "this map blows".

i didnt mean that in such a harsh way, and i also have reasons to back up my opinion. I never really stood what or how UBI picks some of its maps for recommended and now i dont quite understand what so great about some of these maps that make them approved for ranked games?

First the some recommended maps look creative, but play down right awful. and like i said before, most of the approved maps are too dark, or have alot of shaded areas. Which make the level hard to see at times. I've never hosted a ranked game, but can we also change time of day for different lighting? If so, then my host just sucked.

I agree with what he said about the time and day option should be added as well as a weather option in ranked.

Also look for SpindlierT Rex Maps they are 2 sided maps that are even for ether side. War Zone, War Torn, La Bone Mine, Micro Pit, Devastationvill, Haunted Manshion, Ghetto Riot, Ghoast Town, Death Valley and D Day. Everyone who has played them friends and non friends agree that they look and play better than the new approved maps.

I posted before and would still love a responce.

honestly guys i think the chances of having an approved map is pretty slim when you consider just how many maps are out there. i would venture to bet that no "remakes" of other games/movies etc maps would ever be approved for rank, simply because of copy right issues.

until someone from ubi comes up and says for a map to even be considered it needs "X, Y, Z...." all we can do is speculate. is it based on number of dls? plays, 5 star rating etc. before its looked at, and then it has to look good, be fun, unique, interesting and fair.

but ultimately i dont think that such a criteria would ever be posted officially cus then everyone and their dog would be hounding them to check out this map it has all the things u said it needs why wont u put it on ranked???

i kinda think being approved for ranked is like winning an oscar, as an artist you put your work out there, try to market it and hype it as best you can and maybe it will be recongnized. But in the end begging for UBI to approve a map in here or even building a map for the purpose of being approved is kinda useless, just build your maps from your heart and imagination. if your lucky and get picked great, but dont count on it, i bet theres hundreds of maps added to the server every day, the chances of getting on of the like 6 or 7 spots approved for ranked is slim at best. but good luck anyway.

the problem i have with the lag issue is that some of the maps like watch fire lag like a ton and even crash so if a map like that makes it i think and nice and playable map could make it by ubi standards even the bad one into rank

The custom ranked maps choosen should be replaced with other maps monthly to keep the game play fresh, there are far better maps out there that look better and play better than these

yeah i wouldnt count on that either, they cant even fix the Story mode issues, im still waiting on that to be fixed and its been far too long, i can't even finish my game at 69% and me being patient is running real thin before i have to hire a lawyer to bring this up to a class action lawsuit

good luck with that. spend thousands on a lawyer to get reimbursed the 60$ you spent on a video game.....

filing the paperwork in court would cost u more then the game..... but hey, if some idiot can sue mcdonalds for selling hot coffee without a warning that said coffee is in fact hot.....
