A player has recreated two classic FPS games, Project IGI and IGI 2 Covert Strike, inside the Far Cry 5 Arcade mode using the map editor.

Since Far Cry 3, the series has had an interesting and enjoyable map editor, which has evolved into the Arcade mode in Far Cry 5. The Arcade mode lets players create custom maps using in-game assets and then design missions with objectives.

This freedom of creation has allowed talented fans to create amazing works in the game, including remakes of entire games.


After Goldeneye 007, Project IGI and IGI 2 Covert Strike has been remade in Far Cry 5 Arcade

Previously a user remade entire levels of Goldeneye 007 in Far Cry 5 Arcade. Unfortunately, Ubisoft had to remove it due to a legal dispute. However, Goldeneye 007 isn’t the only game remade using Far Cry 5 Arcade.

Project IGI, developed by Innerloop Studios and published by Eidos Interactive, launched back in 2000. The game received a mixed to positive response and was praised for its level design. The game received the sequel IGI 2: Covert Strike in 2003, published by Codemasters. After that, the franchise went on a hiatus when Innerloop closed in 2003.

While both games had an intriguing level design, they are extremely dated. As such, the Far Cry 5 Arcade remake has made many fans nostalgic.
