I may have an oh-so-tender spot for map making, but that doesn`t mean people disinclined towards drawing up their own playgrounds won`t find this video exciting. This map editor for Far Cry 2 features the most intuitive user interface I`ve seen since Sim City 4`s, and certainly the easiest drag-and-drop action I`ve witnessed for an FPS editor. And being from Montreal, Canada, the Ubisoft team couldn`t help but toss in an homage to their Mecca, Paris.



But if pretty, pretty pictures aren`t enough to get you in the mood -- and you need some freshly-baked literary soul food to get your guns oiled -- then it`s time to revisit War Cry 2`s in-game and in-character blog, War Unlimited: My Journey Through a Warzone. It rocks a war-journalist vibe in the war-torn countryside, with a war-time aesthetic hinting at war veteran Ernest Hemingway`s short stories. I know our newly-inducted writer, Sean Nack, has already been subscribing to this one.
