[Official] Far Cry 2


Recommended Posts

The game is absolutely fantastic. I really enjoy the sandbox feel and just the variety in the landscape. Going from the deep jungle in the north to basically the open desert in the south is really cool. I haven't done many story missions as I have been doing many gun/weapon side missions at the moment.

This game probably has some of the most realistic fire I have ever seen. Just the way that it can engulf an area is so real. I sat my friend down to show him how quickly a fire could get out of hand and even destroy a tree!

My only real complain is the cars and fixing them. Literally they take just 3-4 shots before they start smoking and you have to fix them.

... :laugh:

A little bit of Far Cry 2 I found while trying to find out more about this game to decide whether or not to buy. lol

The animals are indeed awesome. Sometimes it seems like they are few and far between though. The other day I drove into a pack of gazelles, crashed backed up and took a left. Unbeknown to me some more gazelles came through and I T-boned one going at max speed. Ouch!

that video is pretty hilarious :)

idk if i should buy this game... i did not like the gameplay in either Far Cry or Crysis :\ obviously the graphics were insane.... is the gameplay better in FC2?

is just wow :woot: , very detailed (from opening a door to the healing system), weapons feel excellent, no mutants/zombies/aliens/etc, go get it

Anybody else notice just how many bullets people take before they go down? I mean I had the light machine gun (in place of the rockets) and it still takes way too many shots to kill somebody.

I figured out how to make my heavy machine gun truck last, you have to buy the upgrade in the gun store.

omg no way! no zombies or mutants or aliens!?!? i thought it would never happen! :p

eh, idk yet. i'll probably wait until there's a deal or the price drops a little.

haha it's ridiculous. i unloaded a massive amount of bullets in this dude early on before he went down, ONLY TO GET UP AGAIN 5 SECONDS LATER!!

I hate that, why dont companies take a hint from COD 4's success. I hate it when they make enemies super though, i'd rather have them throw me 10 more enemies than 4 super though inhuman ones.

So instead you'd rather be super human yourself. A soldier who can take on 20 enemies at once who are all firing automatic weapons at you?

Just picked up my copy. I am having trouble activating. Called ubisoft tech support and they are telling me that there is a batch of cd keys that has not been put into the activation server yet. They said they should have the issue resolved within the hour. I took the day off from work to play this, I sure hope they fix it soon.

I think I'll wait for the first patch to come out before I pick my copy. Usually the first patch irons out a lot of important flaws.

I've read an early review that stated that the atmosphere is definitely there, but the AI is deeply stupid and enemies can take way too many bullets before dying. Also, that using the sniper extensively makes the game too easy. On the other hand, PC Gamer was very impressed and gave 94%, but sometimes I wonder if PC Gamer is not just trying to stimulate the pc gaming market for its own good.

Ok so i have been playing with the Map Editor for some time now and it kicks ass(PC version), i havent even played the main game yet!!!

The amount of stuff you can do and how easy it is, this must been a nightmare to program!!!!

I started with the obvious, i made a 10 story high tower of explosive barrels, and surrounded the area with oil/gas tanks, then i made a Watch tower with a gun mounted on top of it, and then i watched the insane fireworks, the explosion took like 5 seconds to stop at which point all the vegetation nearby was on flames, kick ass.

Also im AMAZED at the performance of this game, while watching that over the top explosion the lowest frame rate i got was 27 fps, and that was only in the worst part of that ridiculous explosion, this was at 1920 * 1200 with everything in Very High.

I would have paid $60 just for the map editor...

Yes the atmosphere is there, nailed it dead on. The enemies are a bit stupid at times but I'm playing on normal so I expected it. I don't bother much with any snipers because any I pick up are completely rusted. I know I could go to the gun shop and get one, but I find my diamonds being spent in other areas.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
