Far Cry 2 is AMAZING!

[stingx]

By far the best game I have played to date. I am hopelessly addicted now...

 

[Glacies]

I might have to rent it. Never followed the FarCry franchise. I'm anxiously awaiting Gears of War 2.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Hey that's cool. I need a new game too. I finished Crysis a few weeks ago and Ghost Recon Advanced Warrior. I loves me some shoot 'em up games.

FC2 is on my "must buy" list, just after Fallout 3

Looks well done.

Available for PC / 360 / PS3.

I prefer PC for gaming, as all hardcore gamers do...

I used to prefer it too, but it always seemed that I was always on the backside of the curve for hardware, and the more I updated my system, the more it screwed up on me.

I'm now a proud 360 owner and haven't ever opened my 05 computer.

Sweet.. I will have to put it on my Xmas list!

I had the choice of Farcry 2 or COD5: World at war..

Went with COD5 due to the addiction of COD4

The beta is out... which I been addicted to!
and release date pre-ordered 11-11-08

Here's a clip I just made complete with Zeppelin Soundtrack

/me looks at the cost of upgrading PC to play FC2 (and Crysis etc)


Nah, more music gadgets for me

Just finished my first multiplayer deathmatch map for the game and submitted it to Ubisoft for rotation on servers. Ubisoft includes a killer map editor on all platforms and makes it a breeze to create gorgeous maps with lots of depth and detail. I take longer than I should to create because I keep going back to add all kinds of minute details from bumps in a road, artifacts creation, to even the look of the foliage. :thwap:

Here's a little walk through of my creation. The map is called Killing Fields.

looks great Stingx... could make some nice sniper maps in that grass..
till it burned..lol
great graphics.. does their Map Editor work in Vista?
I use to love making maps in R6 and Swat etc..
COD4 Map Editor supposedly does not ... so never looked into it..

Thanks, Justa. I use Vista so that would be a big YES. It's the easier editor I've ever used. It does the bulk work for you in a hurry leaving you to scrutinize over the little details that makes your map unique. I can't rave enough about it.

Awesome game, I´ll buy it the next time I visit the mall..

Not a hardcore gamer so I´ll settle with the XB360 version

Swede it looks great on the Box. The editor is nice too. Just as easy to use!

Man, I feel bad saying this but:

While waiting for Cod5 to arrive I went out and got FarCry2 fo $50.00.
It is in my Opinion the WORSE dang game I got!!

I am sorry StingX.. the driving is fun for all of 5-10 minutes.. great looking breeze on the trees.. but the play itself.. its all eye candy.

First, you have to use that darn cell phone and a map most time going from place to place.. the fights inbetween are just terrible.. the AI is as stupid as a rock.. Then even with a machingun you have to shoot these guys 100 times before they die.. while 4 others are shooting you and you live..

I loved Farcry... this one just makes me cry..

then comes Multiplayer..my god are they still making early 90's multiplayer games? wow does it suck...even their way to join games sucks..

other than the brush fires and great windy grass this game has nothing..
I really wanted it to be a good one... really... it's just that bad!
Your driving looks nice.. but I wanted a game with action and realistic.. this is a joke.

COD:World at War just has a beta out with 3 maps and it already blows this right out of the water.

I could not suggest this to anyone.. it's that bad.. and I play alot of FPS games...

ofcourse..this is just my opinion after a full day of playing it..

Drive, get contract, drive kill a few, drive, sleep a bit, drive, get contract, drive , kill a few, drive.. repeat..

uke: sums it up!

Our next game here at la casa de kazz will be Guitar Hero 4 "World Tour" just have to get it loaded on the hard drive for our Playstation 2....We buy the discs, load them to the drive and then put the disc away for safe keeping. Playing off a hard drive also seriously decreases the load times


And well modding a PS2 is just plain fun LMAO

Sorry it didn't meet your expectations. I am having a blast with single AND multiplayer online. I bought it because it is, IMHO, a good standalone game that's interesting and challenging to play. Same vein as COD4. Game designers can't please everyone I suppose.

Hey Justa...go for the head shots...works for me.

Hey Justa...go for the head shots...works for me.

Heh, about the only way to kill'em... sometimes not even then..
The AI is terrible in this game as is the Multiplayer IMHO..

BUT.. I must Recant..

I been stuck playing this game for days now..
the single player is addictive although very repetitive..
forget the cars..jump on those boats man..it's a blast..
boat to radio tower.. get contract.. boat to target. boatride into sunrise..
The sleeping now makes sense.. just do attacks at night.. fish all day!
but between my crying about that, the graphics do pull you in...
the maps have a very realistic feel for a game.
im only about 20% into the whole story (if you can call it one)..
so it's huge...

The shining star in this game is actually the MAP EDITOR!

I been making these maps for years off and on.. with different games
I never seen one so powerfull! FIVE STARS!! EXCELLENT!
Within minutes you can have a terrain and sunset like none other.

This game is going to be a modding communities blessing!

there is a patch out already for some mistakes and hopefully
smarting up the system AI and improving the Multiplayer will be part of this.

Overall..it's worth 50 bucks just for the single player mode and map editor...
now to find the docs to adding music to the car radios..lol
