Are there other first(or third, it doesn't really matter...)person shooter engines out there that apply the same "ease-of-use", "no programing knowledge required" elements like FPSC? Or is it a truly unique engine? And no, the 3D Gamemaker does not count.

O.K. I take back what I said earlier. Now that I've taken this "Silent Walk FPS Creator" for a test drive, it is VERY lame... Pity. Overall FPSC is still Top Dawg compared to this.

In terms of ease-of-use; nope. None that I personally know of, at least.

Most creators with anything similar to FPSC are just level editors included in already built games. The best one I've ever played around with was the editor for Time Splitters 2. Only other FPS engines you'll find are high priced programing required ones. I mean *psh*, who needs those?

I love the TS map makers, in 3 I had a large 3 story level of 2 bases, each with supply rooms, command rooms (including camera and turret controls) and sniper towers, try fitting THAT in the space limit

Steam's source is also pretty easy to use and a damn sight more powerful, but the two fundamental flaws are the difficulty curve starts flat and is suddenly vertical, and you can't sell anything you make.

1+,

Steams source engine is only allowed to be modded unless your a retard that presumes he/she has enough money to buy a license for the engine.

It seriously is easy once you learn the curves of learning that ARE essential for a full modification(Modeling, Skinning, UN-wrapping, Compiling, Mapping, Coding).

Plus you'll get more "Bonus points" if you make a mod with source, with a team, and putted it on your CV, instead of saying "I made a game with FPSCreator"... 'Cause that'll make you look like you did nothing out of the normal.

Actually I think it's free to mod so long as you don't sell it. This is why mods such as Black Mesa and Portal Prelude are around. Because they're free. Valve actively encourage modding.

Exactly what I was saying, By "A retard that presumes he has enough money to by a license", I mean that you can only mod the engine and re-distribute the modification as a free-download instead of selling it...

But seriously, the License cost's around 300,000$... O.o
And I heard that UT3 is going for around 760,000$...
