OFP2 level editing kit
Do any of you remember the in-game map editor for operation flashpoint? Well if you dont, I will remind you! Operation flashpoint has a in-game option to create single and multiplayer levels, this was a excellent move from the developers because the implementation of the editor created a online community not only for online game-play but for editing!
The interface allowed the user to create triggers, waypoints, markers and units, all of which allowed the editor to created customised scenarios. The editing was easy to use and after a couple of hours you would be left with a full level ready for upload to your favourite editing website.
So what should we expect in operation flashpoint 2? Will there still be a in-game editor? will the community be larger than the last game? who knows. But I would like to add that the game is now developed by codemaster not bohemia interactive. Could this affect the style of the editor more over, could this affect game-play in general, wells thats another story but it will be surprising to see what the new developers will oftern in-terms of level editing, if anything.

I made a ofp level ages ago but I can’t even remember what the name was! Does anyone know some good map websites? I might be able to find it! Brings back old memories.

As a Black Hawk Down veteran, I remember how crucial the map-editor was for creating an online community. Sure, matches were always held on the official maps, but there was nothing like playing on unknown terrain. Great stuff!

Totally agree, from a general map editing point-of-view. Which ever game you play, variation in online game play is a massive bonus!
Online gaming is un-predictable anyway, so creating new maps helps to create levels where the gamer must adapt to any given environment or scenario.

The Xbox 360 version will have an editor, only through Xbox Live Marketplace Downloadable Content, It will be available free to download, It just couldn’t fit on the average DVD Disc what the Xbox 360s use, so it gets downloaded to the hard drive.
