lame

I can see what they were trying to do, but for what ever reason they didnt quite get there.

took a while to get into but im finally starting to see past the initial frustration with far cry 2. (all the things mentioned here)  - its definitely got some ill concieved elements.

my main gripe is the check points - as you can't avoid them or rush through them because you pretty much always get caught up by another jeep,
i dont really mind the driving if you could by-pass the check points occasionally  (take a "back road" or get to climb over some of the "road-walls" to gain a better sniping position.)
it definitely helps (boredom) to vary your attacks on the checkpoints, a bit of head sniping, rushing, sniping the ammo/barrels/gas cannisters nading etc.
 just rocking up to them, then jumping on the jeep-mounted machine gun get pretty f-ing repetitive.


i dont know if anyone else has teck issues with this game, but the non main story characters faces are clearly busted in my version (PC-vista-9800GX2),
they have no eyelids, joker-smiles and an occasional inverted cheek bone !
