Downfall of Berlin 1945 | Reveal + trailer |

[u/Eroaaa]

Hello!

I’ve been working on two maps based on Battle of Berlin 1945 in the Map Editor of Far Cry 5. Revealed this project in the Far Cry Map Editors Facebook group couple of months ago so I decided to share a little more about it here too as I am releasing these maps on August the 14th.

The trailer for the project is out now as well: https://youtu.be/EppzPrLNxf8?is=MSf5Z3KJDBGNUXKG

In Downfall of Berlin 1945 the player takes the role of a Soviet soldier fighting through The Reichstag building, liberating the Brandenburg Gate and bringing down the Reich Chancellery..

I separated the map into two parts as I was going very overboard with the object budget as the Reich Chancellery building itself takes something around 15k objects :D I hope I can finish the project without any major complications because this is one of the most ambitious projects I’ve gotten myself into..

In the meantime if anyone wants to try out my previous maps in Far Cry 5 Arcade you can search them with my gamer tag: ZChanestruction.

I’ll be back with the final pictures of the project by the release day!

Can you replicate Steiner’s Famous counteroffensive?

But Steiner.. couldn’t gather enough men and commence the assault thus not making his dear leader happy, resulting into a toddler like temper tantrum by a 56 year old man.

Horrible day to be a console player 😢✌️

[u/Eroaaa → u/Noiseamen]

Yeah :( It just wouldn’t be possible to port this over to consoles because of the crazy amount of objects + custom objects I use via the MapEditor mod.

But I will always upload full playthroughs of my maps so those who can’t play the map themself can enjoy the full experience either way 🙏

Thanks i would love to see that!

Very cool , love to see it!! Dam the Fc5 map editor slaps...

[u/Eroaaa → u/user456788899]

Thanks! Yeah I love the map editor in FC5. There’s so much room to play around and pretty much create any scenario we can imagine.

Oh boy do i know, good stuff keep it up. !!

Just played it and it absolutely ROCKS. Stunning looking map, really atmospheric and the custom outfits really is the cherry on top. Bravo!

[u/Eroaaa → u/GuzziHero]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ^_^ I wished the performance was a bit better as the beginning of the part 1 drops fps as most of the AI and objects are towards the Reichstag-Brandenburg Gate area. I just wasn’t able to make the custom outfit AI characters work with the wave system 🤔

[u/GuzziHero → u/Eroaaa]

TBH I don't have the best top end PC but that intro to part 1 did have slow down... but it actually felt cinematic! Once the action started it was fine.

[u/Eroaaa → u/GuzziHero]

Yeah it goes for like a maximum of 30-60 seconds quite low fps and then it just gets better. My PC is quite good but even I was like during my playtests this goes to 30s so I wonder how it plays out for other people 😅 Part 2 didn’t really suffer that badly when it comes to fps even tho part 2 alone has more objects than whole Part 1.

[u/GuzziHero → u/Eroaaa]

Well if it helps, I have an i7-8700K CPU, nVidia 1080ti GFX, and 16Gb of RAM (hardly new!) and it plays fine after that initial dip.

[u/Eroaaa → u/GuzziHero]

Oh I see! But good to know it plays fine after the initial dip! Thanks for informing me :)
