I got this game early and I 'd be happy If I could answer any questions regarding Far Cry 2 .
Far Cry 2
Game » consists of 16 releases. Released Oct 21, 2008
The sequel to the original Far Cry dispenses with Jack Carver, and moves the action to a war-consumed Africa complete with an open-ended storyline involving civil war, several hours of missions, heated gunplay, and a slew of dynamic elements powered by a new engine.
I will answer your questions too
"Muffin_Hunter said:Oh, in that case yes and YESSSSSSSSS!!!!1"Keano said:both""Can you have Sex with Zebras?"In the game or do you mean in?.... O_o"
Sorry, no baboons in the game you'll just have to settle for zebras."Keano said:How about the Baboons?If yes, GOTY confirmed"
Q) Sweet opening cutscene?
A)There is no typical cut scene , everything in this game is shown from first person perspective . at the beginning of the game you are in a cab to reach the Hotel but it is really amazing and you ‘ll understand so many things . I won’t spoil it for you
Q) How is the frame rate? And pop-in?
A)The frame rate is ALWAYS steady . I was playing the game while the whole field were in fire two jeeps plus 15 soldiers were attacking me at the same time and I noticed NO FRAME DROP whatsoever . though there are some occasional pop-in .
Q) Can you have Sex with the Zebras?
A) you can not have sex with zebras but I am sure you can sleep with one of the Female NPCs .
Q)how's the map editor?
is the multilayer good? how does it compare to other fps games?
A)Map Editor is one of the strongest ever , you gotta see it for yourself
The online matches are either Ranked matches (based on experience ) or player matches (just playing you know ) .
Ranked match does not support the map created with Map Editor whereas player matches support all the maps created by Map Editor .
The multi player mode include : death match , Team death match , capture the Diamond (something like capture the Flag ) , Uprising ( something like Capture the base we seen in Battle field games ) .

Too bad about the Zebras, but I guess all is not lost.
I've got another Q for U
How's the online community shaping up and do you think FC2 will have a lasting appeal like COD4?
<_< Granted it's probably to soon to tell... speculation is all I'm looking for... >_>
Q) How's the online community shaping up and do you think FC2 will have a lasting appeal like COD4?
A) right now there is no such community since the game is not out yet , but I am sure this game will have a great Community because the multi-player is really cool and Map Editor will be successful just like Little big planet . we will see all different types of map in future .
Is it more fast-paced now? I really hated how you had to go so incredibly slow just to progress at all in the first one. Let's put it this way, is it closer to SWAT 4, or Call Of Duty 4?
I've seen how well the editor stuff works too..I believe to get in a game(on consoles too) its just like you're typical PC game, as in you download the players map right as you're connecting and are instantly in the game playing right? if thats correct which I think it is..this is definitely a huge stride forward for console games I must say..and the game in general on anything is absolute beautiful, and has a lot of maybe not necassary innovative things, but things you just don't expect a shooter to have or do at all, and does them very well.
Q) Is it more fast-paced now? I really hated how you had to go so incredibly slow just to progress at all in the first one. Let's put it this way, is it closer to SWAT 4, or Call Of Duty 4?
A) the game on foot is somehow slow-paced . you can only sprint for a limited distance and you will run out of the Stamina pretty soon . but this is no bad thing since the maps are filled with vehicles and you can drive your vehicle practically anywhere (even in not so deep lakes ) . apart from that You will need to spend great amount of your time driving since it is faster and much safer that way .
Q) I've seen how well the editor stuff works too..I believe to get in a game(on consoles too) its just like you're typical PC game, as in you download the players map right as you're connecting and are instantly in the game playing right?
A) exactly , Map Editor is an Epic win .
I was referring to the combat actually. I kind of guessed that going on foot in such a large environment would take a long time. My question is: is combat more fast-paced now, or do you die super easy like you did in the first game?
"I can't wait to see what people come up with. My only concern is that this game might get overlooked with so many other games coming out right now. I still think it will do well, though.Q) How's the online community shaping up and do you think FC2 will have a lasting appeal like COD4?

Far Cry and Little big planet are sure to keep me busy this holiday season... It's gonna be great. =)
Q) is combat more fast-paced now, or do you die super easy like you did in the first game ?
A) well you can be dead in no time in FC2 without a proper strategy ;that is for sure .
in the first few hours I have found this game more challenging than games like Rainbow six V2 or Call of duty 4 . you can not carry as much ammo as games like COD4 , weapons are not as powerful as COD4’s and also most of the weapons dropped by Enemies are rusty and jam regularly . also the main character suffers from Malaria , so sometimes you get a severe fever in the middle of the firefight and Malaria pill is the only cure .
All an all this game is different from other shooters , it is a sand box .
you will need to explore a lot , you will need to upgrade your weapons and buy newer ones and for that you will need diamond and for that you will need to kill lots of mercenaries .
Of course yeah...I hope games like this and the few others that the mass percentage of people aren't antisipating the most, don't get overlooked...I still think this looks better than almost any other game coming out this year, and definitely any shooter, so I'm with you in hoping it gets the attention it deserves. The map editor will probably be like what I saw in the LBP demo though...first you'll run into a bunch of below average kinda piss poor maps, but it won't be long until people have some really nice things on there...the creation of other players never ceases to amaze me, someone always has something that blows you away that makes you go "damn, I never thougth someone would do something that cool", that and I'll probably stay with a single map or 2 of my own with their own theme, and just constantly upgrade them as time moves on(assuming you can save them and edit them that is, hope so at least) still even with the awesome map editor and wanting to see what people come up with, I'm mostly stoked for the single player game, it just looks amazing..I can't wait to explore every square inch of that 50km world too :)
Nah, I 've seen plenty of this played..enemies die pretty fast, it may take slightly more rounds than Cod4 of course..cuz they can die in like 2 shots, but they die pretty fast..and if not straight up die, fall down wounded depending on where you hit them...sometimes if wounded they will stay put, or try to move away a bit, and one of their dudes will try to come carry them out of the battle, so you gotta watch for that.

Well you are right , also be aware that exploring every inches of the map is one of the achievements in the 360 version and that means it is pretty hard and time consuming . the map in this game is sooooooooooooooooooo huge .
Q) Are you saying it takes a lot of rounds from the typical gun to kill an average enemy?
A) unless you pull of a head shot all the enemies absorb a great amount of bullets before death even though they do not wear any armor of any kind .
Are you just playing on the hardest difficulty or something daniel? because I swear I've seen so much of this played by now, and they don't seem to take that many rounds...of course they don't die as quick as a R6 or Cod game, but they generally die pretty fast...also I don't care about achievements :P I'm getting this on PC anyway, and gameflying the 360 version so I can play created maps with friends though.

Q) What frame rate are you getting and what are your computer specifications?
A) I am currently playing the game on XBOX 360 and the frame rate is 60 fps ALL THE TIME , but I heard that If you could run Crysis smoothly on your Computer you can easily run this game with 60 FPS as well . but be aware that Far Cry 2 ‘s visuals are extremely high , in fact in some levels and parts it surpasses Crysis .
Q) how do the weapons feel/act, are they action type were you pull off a bunch of rounds with little recoil or realistic were you have trouble killing enemies at a distance without a sniper rifle?
A) as I said before the aiming is somewhat realistic (Not 100% though ) . killing enemies from afar is not as easy as games like call of duty 4 . the recoils are manageable if you know how to shoot (press the fire –pause – fire again – pause –and on ) . distance affect shooting directly however if you get your hands on turrets you will find them surprisingly accurate even from distance . also the distance affect the damage your bullets cause (except for Sniper rifle ) . for example you can kill an enemy in the vicinity with 2 turret bullets in torso on the other hand it takes nearly 5 shots from afar .
Q) Is multiplayer fun or just a add on ? I mean gameplay not map editor ?
A) multi-player is as important and fun as single player . Map Editor is what makes Far Cry 2 a distinct game from all the other shooters out there . I do not know how But UBI soft has managed to perfect both Single-player and multi-player .
Q) Is the chick you think you can bang hot? Thats what we really need to know!!
A)LOL , the only girl that I have found a bit Hot is a 35 year old French woman .
she is blond and very tough . she is almost 6 foot , she exercises her Abdominals with trainings like jackknife and because of her nationality (French) she can always be found in the bars . so far I have not managed to catch her drunk LOL

Q)What types of vehicles are there? Are they just jeeps or can you take control of tanks and stuff?
A) the vehicles in this game include : normal Jeep , Jeep with mounted turret , 2 types of truck , small cars and there is one special desert super fast car located at one of the bus stations in the game . also there are 4 types of boat in Far cry 2 .
there is No Tank , No Bike , No Chopper , No plane
How does single player compare to STALKER (SoC or CS)? How are enemies for dropping things? Is it easy or hard to get new better weapons? Is the AI NovaLogic retarded or Half-Life 2 smart?
Q) On the bombcast they called it GTA Africa. Would you agree?
A) I certainly do but to some degree , the game features and open world game play with an emphasis on driving vehicles and shooting people . although the game lacks the variety of missions presented in GTAIV .
this being said Far Cry 2 is still a kick ass game .
Q) How does single player compare to STALKER (SoC or CS)? How are enemies for dropping things? Is it easy or hard to get new better weapons? Is the AI NovaLogic retarded or Half-Life 2 smart?
A)actually I was fan of S.T.A.L.K.E.R as well .
the game features a lot similarities with S.T.A.L.K.E.R . let me tell it more precisely :
S.T.A.L.K.E.R FAR CRY 2
1-you need to eat in order to proceed 1-you need to use Malaria pills regularly
2-you can not carry too many weapons or ammo 2-you can only carry 4 weapons with limited ammo
3-you are alone in all the missions 3- your Buddies do not help you in firefights (Except when you die)
4-Enemies are really hard to kill 4- Enemies are sometimes truly tough
5-shooting from distance is hard 5-shooting from afar is challenging except for Sniper rifles and turrets
6-you are left to do what you want in a huge place called Chernobyl 6-you are free to do what ever you want in 50 sq KM of Africa
7-the story in this game is not so deep 7-the story in FC2 lacks depth but is fun nonetheless
8-most of the time there is no background sound 8- except when you are in a firefight and occasional moments there is no BM
9- you can feel that you are the main character 9- you will immerse in the game and project yourself into the character
