Nidzumi Writes : We got a chance to talk to a few of the developers who are working on FarCry 2 at the recent play.com Live event and after getting a walk through of a level in the single player campaign we had a few questions about the games multi player.
Expect full support for 16 players across all versions including Xbox 360, PC & Playstation 3. You can then engage in your basic multiplayer match types such as Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Capture The Flag etc…
If you’re new to this long-running franchise, we’ve got you covered.
2 and 3, pretty much the only ones i really enjoyed. 1 was amazing for the time but aged quite poorly. 4 has the elephant gun, all i can praise from any entry after 3 lol
Ummmm 3 than stop.
Okay maybe two as well. But yeah probably 3 and then move on.
Far Cry 2. People constantly rant about games now being too easy, holding your hand, having too many unnecessary RPG-lite leveling features, etc. People specifically complain about open world games being too focused on tons of collectibles and "checkmarks" that just waste time.
Far Cry 2 is an answer to all of those complaints. It was made by Ubisoft before they fell into all the traps discussed above (and before they started inserting towers into their games to defog the map). It has respawning enemies, weapons that degrade, and the collectible diamonds are very useful in the game (which you find in a similar way to the way you find shrines in BOTW with a radar system). The map you have is an in game item you pull out while playing, not a pause menu that is unnecessarily detailed. Also the enemy AI and physics are much better than later entries in the series.
It has a mixed reputation because people at the time said it was too hard, the weapon degradation was annoying, and then respawning enemies were annoying. FC2 came out in 2008, so this was before games like Dark Souls and BOTW had come out and made it cool to like these types of features.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
The Far Cry series’ best game – not Far Cry 6 – just got more brutal and realistic thanks a mod than revamps and remakes the classic Ubisoft open-world FPS
Far Cry 2 where your guns never ever jammed until you got into a gunfight is their best? I disagree.
Far Cry 2 may certainly not be the most "fun" game in the series but from a narrative standpoint it definitely is the most interesting of the bunch. FC2 couldn't be further away from the pointless fragfests that the following episodes turned out to be.
Personally, I thought making maps on FarCry was one of the best parts. Can't wait to try it with FarCry 2 (and I'm sooooo glad it's not going the Halo 3 Forge route, which I find to be somewhat dull).
I don't think the guy that wrote this story realised there was a full map editor in the last game. Halo3 got an enormous amount of press for forge but its not a patch on the map editor in far cry instincts. Sure you could invent game types which is great but map wise all you could do was move the crates around.
The Map editor is reason enough to buy this game...
The BEST part about the last far cry was the editor.
And although the editor Was limited... u had to choose an item set instead of picking anything.
but the Hand Glider made it worth it!
The reason it didnt get the press about it is because No one would join ur edited game.. and if they did... it was like one person.
Mean while i spend 2 days making my map Perfect....
and just want some feed back... yet no one joins.... So then i join others maps.. and End up on some peace of crap map some one make in 5 Min...
The forge was Kinda Cool.. But only could play with friends list people...
So if this is a Full editor... ill be inlove... Some people like the creation part.... Its the entire reason Spore will sell so many copies... Half will play these kind of games.. half will make things and share them with others.
If the graphics and gameplay are okay, I'll buy this just for the editor. This is exactly what I've been waiting for in console FPSs, and I hope more developers do the same thing.
Then I will officially stop b*tching about them charging for mappacks.
us gamers, i had a chance to try the map editor on the first far cry, and play in some created by other users and it was fantastic.
this game is in my top 5 list most anticipated games this year.
