Mirror’s Edge gets a level editor, kind of |

The one thing missing from Mirror’s Edge, and something we’re holding our fingers tightly crossed for in the inevitable sequel, was a level editor where players could build their own ultimate rooftop roads. While we may have to wait to get some proper level editing going on, and hopefully it’ll be as easy to use as the editor included with Far Cry 2, those who own both Unreal Tournament III and Mirror’s Edge on the PC can get a little level building going on right now as users have found a way to get UnrealEd working with Mirror’s Edge.
Getting the editor to work is apparently as easy as downloading something, extracting it, doing some copy-pasting and voila. A link to the necessary download has been removed from the original post but surely those who are in dire need of content that doesn’t include floating blocks and glass among more floating blocks and glass will find out what it was.

Makes me regret getting the console version. I’d love to play some homemade time trial maps.

It’ll be interesting to see what people come up with. The game really does look stunning on a P.C. with greater levels of AA.

i loved mirors edge so much.
my only gripe was you had basicaly NO moves wich is fine.
BUT they forced you to fight the enemies instead of giving you the opertunity to run arround them.
like they will have 1 narrow pathway you HAVE to go that way thats the only way but through there is 20 people shooting at you OF CORSE YOUR GOING TO DIE.
they need to either give you some cool bullet dodging moves ala matrix and some moves to defend yourself.
or give us a alternate path we can take so its hard for them to shoot us every 5 seconds.

@nick.
You can actually run past most cops in the game. And there are so many alternate paths once you really start looking it’s not even funny. Of course, the way the game is built you’re gonna have to look around the levels a bit, the very first time I agree, you can’t avoid the cops without either fighting or dieing because you simply don’t know the quick route around them. But there always is one. On a few occasions you you just have disarm a cop at most and off you go.

i tried in the lvl where you come out of the back of a van.
and towards the end where your decending a massive staircase.
in those parts you have one path stright past the cops and get shot to bits.
im suprised i had the patients to finish the game because youve got no idea how many times i died because i was trying to survive 100 bullets to the body.
