It seems pretty shallow story wise. Possibly even less story to it than Mercenaries 2. What it lacks in story, it makes up for in setting fire to Africa with a flare gun.
Checkpoints seem to respawn incredibly quickly. I just drove through one on the way to a gun store about a minute down the road from the checkpoint. Killed everyone there. On the way back through they're all there again. If that's not bad enough there's at least 2 jeeps with machineguns in them, so you can't even just race through them and then forget. They chase every single time.
Zebra have the worst AI imaginable. That or they're depressed zebra. I've encountered 4, two of those threw themselves under my jeep.
Blood decals do not exist for some reason. There's a huge unrealistic fountain of blood each time I shoot someone, and then... nothing. There's no marks on them at all. I don't like hugely gruesome like BIA: HH, but some indication that they're not just napping would be nice.
Maybe some burn marks too. I like setting fire to people, but unlike the grass that has an awesome scorched effect, people just come out of it unscathed apart from being dead.
The malaria thing is annoying. What's with open-worldish games recently and their wanting to completely annoy the crap out of me? First STALKER CS and the completely pointless blow-out things, and now I have malaria just for the sake of it. Why thank you, yes I did want a simulation of having a disease.
Buddies. Jesus. They have Zebra AI as well. That annoying american one was just shooting at a rock earlier. Maybe he was trying to shoot the dead person through it.
It's not all bad. It's a decent game and I've not found a single buggy part yet. The guns all seem decent enough, and it's getting more fun killing people as I get new ones. Flare gunnnnn! But still. For all the praise it's getting, I don't honestly see what most of the fuss is about.
It's good looking and a competent shooter, but it's... it seems it should be more.
It's given me a few laughs at least. Like driving my jeep off a cliff, having it roll again and again, then just popping open the hood and ratcheting it back to good health. I never knew it was that simple 
@ SSS. I'm not sure about that. It's possible that it wants you to destroy petrol pumps? I've not encountered that one yet. Look around for something that looks explosive and shoot it

If you are a nvidia user - The new beta drivers are an absolute must. With my 8800GT SLI setup they increased performance in DX10 mode substantially. I'm able to play on all max settings w/ DX10 mode.
The game looks great - But the textures definatly are console grade. |
when i use the beta 180. something driver the game loads in window mode and is all black... how did you get past that? |
Go into the config file under my games and change the maximized value to 1. That fixed it for me.

Because the performance increase is quite substantial. Even more so for SLI users.

Man, the online features are retared. You have a half-assed-stone-age browser showing out of date game info. Not to mention the stock maps, they are just retarded, and for ranked games you'll have to play them.
Quite the dissapointment, really.

ok easy... easy..... easy!!
WHY THE **** CANT YOU "KNIFE" A ENEMY WITHOUT HIM SENDING A TELEPATIC SIGNAL TO ALL ENEMYS WITHIN MILES TO ATTACK YOU?!?!?!
Argh hate games that makes the AI so simplistic....
Ok its hard on infamous, and i love when the game gives you a real challenge so you cant be rambo. But when you cant sneak around killing people silently the game just tells you one thing, kill them all, there is not other way to complete a mission, really disapointing!!

I got the beta drivers working and the game is much more playable with no more microstuttering and crazy fps drops.

depressed zebras make everything better. how could anyone not like seeing a zebra throw itself under a jeep's wheels?
and besides, without them this game would've been just another shooter. but as it stands now, it's a parody of its own genre.
i see brilliance here.
well, that or the zebra AI guys returned with some sweet african herb from their little safari trip.

This game is TOSH... no biggy... no goody.. GFX are FAR LESS impessive than Crysis. and its very linear and its very shit on 360 "with its hashed textures in the distance" and its random stuttering on the PC. Dear oh dear 83 pages of people getting a bonk on for a realease of this crap... YOU WERE WARNED.

Movement and shooting isn't even near CoD 4. Weapons' sounds are pretty cool but gaming is quite crap. Maybe I'm just used to CoD 4 but I have expected a lot more of this game.

Exactly... any devleoper that makes a game where tapping the button still gives you a burst instead of a single shot..ESPECIALLY ON A G3 which is a singe shot rifle should seriously be ashamed.

I'm trying to figure out why this is called Far Cry 2. If you took that name away and called it, oh, Generic First Person Shooter, I think it would be a more apt title. Does anyone know what exactly this has to do with Far Cry? Is it even a sequel? Is the name only there to sell a mediocre game of the back of a fps classic or is there something in the storyline I have yet to get to that ties the two together?

The G3 is semi/safe/full. Call of Duty 4 is not that realistic bud; It would be great if people stopped using it as some sort of barometer for war games.

Thats actually pretty darn close to real life. As with any device of that nature, it will in fact deflect like that.

It annoys me that every person I come across tries to kill me. Doesn't matter where or what car they're driving, everyone follows and shoots at me. Even the goddamn civilian cars. The only safe place is that cease-fire city in the middle of map, whatever its called. Really pisses me off. Maybe I just shot too many people? Other than that, seems like a good game.
