The game was actually a waste of money i only completed 40% of the main story and then just gave up. The aiming was stiff. I couldn’t get to my destination without being chased by another jeep, i couldn’t hide in the jungle while shooting with my silencer as they would be able to spot me after one shot. If you get out of your jeep there are AI magically spawn behind you and run you over and the health the AI have is incredible they can take about 7-10 bullets from a 50 cali mounted on a jeep. I have just been pissed with myself for wasting money.

this is old, but… i couldn’t resist all this crap.
1) FarCry2 SUCKS!
2) What damn strategy are FC2 defenders talking about? is always the same, drive through wherever checkpoint you want, kill the bastard, come back to recive another same mission over and over again. You want strategy FPS? PLAY Thief.
3) AI it’s ok, the problem is, you never die! wtf? plus this game is way too easy. All combat is the same, really… what strategy are they talking about?
4) Superb graphics don’t worth shit without a good plot, and FC2 plot may be out of tipical but is boring, TOO BORING.

Conclusion:
Really nice graphics and stunning landscape. That’s the only 2 good things it has.

the bad? all the rest: shity gameplay, boring plot, repetitive missions (really repetitive), too easy to beat and it won’t require you to plan or think anything, just go shoot kill. No music at all :S… so imagine spend the 30 hours developers said it will took to beat the game doing
(a) get misson
(b) kill guards and finally the boss
(c) go back to get another mission equal to the one you did before

damn, i lost my money with FC2, tetris is a lot more worth playing than this (at least you use your brain in tetris)

Yep, this game was under rated. It’s not about doing the objective, it’s also about getting to it. It’s all about planning your approach, planning the shortest path with the least checkpoints.
The AI is more brilliant than it seems at first. Silenced weapons won’t work if there’s another guy close by, he’ll hear the thud of your victim collapsing to the ground, and go check it out. Wound a guy, get out of sight, and one of his team mates will come to drag him to safety when he deems it safe. The way they communicate with each other during fights is also great.
It’s not more repetitive than the player is, I guess people have gotten so used to only doing objective after objective, so they focus only on that.

Seriously the game gives you all these tools to have fun and everyone is calling it repetitive. I hope you’re all happy with all your scripted-scene-by-scripted-scene singleplayer games ala Call of Duty, where every mission will play the same. Because you don’t know how to make your own “action movie” moments when you have the opportunity. Gotta put hero in quotation, everything you do is destructive, there’s only bad and worse. Which I guess is what the game is trying to show the player. Humans are destructive.

I will admit the first time I tried the game, I got bored after the first hour, and didn’t touch it for a while. I then revisited it, this time knowing what I was in for. I’ve since when had so many moments I’ve shared with other Far Cry 2 players, and that’s what makes the game unique. Something a scripted game won’t give you.

It’s far from perfect, enemies sometimes feel like bullet-sponges, no friendly AI ever, every driver who sees you will chase you and are always faster than your vehicle, driving mechanics are kinda odd. And only recently did someone get the game cracked open for community modding. This is a game that could’ve lived for much longer if they hadn’t locked it up.

All time favorite game for me.

The AI can recognize you even when you shot the enemy with a silenced rifle and ran because of the noise you make while running!. All of you who think fc-2 is a pile of shit are turds. This is one brilliant immersive game .

i agreed with lol.this game is really realistic.i am a hardcore gamer and play this games in hardcore mode.i play cod in veteran mode and it needs only 2 or 3 shoots to die.comparing with it far cry 2 is easy.u all asshole learn how to click your mouse first.i bet you will die before watching me if you play multiplayer against me in counter strike.

I’ve just started this. When am I going to stop being driven around? Why are the Save and Load buttons diagonally opposite the choice – so I’ve got to travel the mouse the greatest possible screen distance? Why am I left looking at people looking at me when I’ve found the bloody blue box, and saved the thing. Nothing. Nothing happens. This is the pits.
This was in a dumper in PC World, and the blurb from PC Gamer gave it 94%. Duh – the reviewer is clearly being paid. Wish I’d waited to read some reviews.
Very, very poor.

opinions are like ass holes (sorry).. everyone’s got one..
so here’s mine. well when i first bought the game i was eager to get my self into the game. eventually i did.. first the game was quite exiting, as things were realistic. i enjoyed a when i played then. and there’s nothin wrong with the AI but when i came across like 20% of the game, it started to bore like hell. this game could make anyone to lose there tolerance. conclusion- the developers made a real mess out of a great deal.
