Set on the Zambezi river near an abandoned work site, Woodland Wonderland is a Far Cry 2 custom multiplayer map. It's primarily made for Uprising but supports all gamemodes. I focused on making the map not too sniper friendly. It's my first attempt at map making and I think the far Cry 2 map editor is a great place to start. It's very user friendly. An excellent piece if software. I've only put ammo supplies in one central point of the map to reduce camping domination at objectives.

// CREDITS

Thanks to DaWorFizm - http://dwf.homeip.net - for asking me to help test his Far Cry 2 maps. This made me curious to have a look at the editor. Before this I'd only ever played the standard maps.

Thanks to the nearly 500 downloads of earlier versions of Woodland Wonderland and the players I observed on my server. This helped me work out gameplay balance. A special thanks to those who provided personal feedback.
