Welcome to FCIPMAPS Launch

WELCOME TO FCIPMAPS.NET

Welcome to FCIPMaps.net!

FCIP Maps is an independent, community-focused preservation project dedicated exclusively to Far Cry Instincts: Predator on Xbox 360.

Originally released in March 2006, Far Cry Instincts: Predator celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026. Two decades later, the creativity of its map-making community deserves to be remembered.

Our mission is simple: preserve, organize, and share the custom multiplayer maps created by the community so they remain accessible for years to come.

WHY WE CREATED FCIP MAPS

Over the years, countless players created unique multiplayer experiences using the game's built-in map editor.

Many of those creations were shared through community websites, Xbox Live, and personal collections. As older websites disappeared and Xbox 360 hardware aged, many maps became increasingly difficult to find.

FCIP Maps aims to provide a modern, independent home for these creations while preserving their original authorship and historical information.
