Chris the great Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 ah, well, that sucks, but i dont mind the install times toooooo much, and the telly i play on only does 720p, so no biggie
Chuck Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 thought this would come in the post. I thought wrong
martinist Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I'll be going into town tomorrow morning to pick up the 360 version, i've been watching a few reviews and gameplay vids and it doesn't look too bad.
gaggle64 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Bought this today. The lighting on the jungle environment is simply breathtaking. It's more open plan then the first one too. Combat is pretty good. Turning off aim assist and crosshairs makes combat immersive and tricky but not unreasonably so. You can still take quite a lot of bullet damage but you're not some kind of dead eye super-soldier with a Terminator-esque targeting system built into your retina.
flameboy Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 This game is crap. Avoid. seriously? looks pretty good to me...
gaggle64 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I'd definitly recommend this game. My one gripe with it at the mo is the slightly clunky interface getting in and out of a multi-player match, but it's nothing to write home about.
Caris Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 seriously? looks pretty good to me... I really didn't like it, traded it in today for Fable.
gaggle64 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 My god, jumping out of your jeep and giving perusers an RPG right in the grill is so bloody satisfying.
Chris the great Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 My god, jumping out of your jeep and giving perusers an RPG right in the grill is so bloody satisfying. i know, but my god did it get me in trouble. apparently the streets of leeds are no place for such behaviour.
Gizmo Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Ugh. 1080p on 360 FarCry 2 is basically the 720p scaled to 1080p. Its irrelevant. Halo 2 runs in 1080p as well. The only resolution that matters is the native resolution inw hich case Far Cry 2 on both systems shold be the same (720p) and Halo 3 is below 720p. The 1080p behind most 360 game boxes is very misleading and simply suggests support not resolution.
Sheikah Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 (image) He is right though - supported resolutions and native resolutions are very different, but some people fail to realise that.
Apple_NdiB Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 While I wouldn't go as far as Caris and advise people to not buy it, I can't help but feel disappointed with this game. I've only played it for around ten hours and there's already a lack of variety in the missions; the hardest part of them seems to be getting from one part of the map to another when I'm constantly interrupted by battles at checkpoints that reek of filler. I'll let you know if I change my mind when I've finished it but so far it seems like a bit of a missed opportunity.
gaggle64 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 There's a stupendous map editor in here. It puts some editors for PC games to shame.
martinist Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 played afew matches online last night and its pretty fun. Lots of stuff to do in the single player as well. Spent most of my time hitting convoys for new wepons, getting up on the high ground and raining death from above with an RPG is awesome.

I have seen this on other forums also. the lack of Variety is stopping me buying this game. Seen some people call it 'Assassins Creed FPS'
Chris the great Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 hum, gotta say, it is a little troubling to see the game hit for a lack of varioty. never the less, reviews ive read seem to think there are infinate possibilities for most of the missions, i guess the player can add variety.
Aalborg Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I've bought it already.. havent played it yet though.. but I read that you could blow stuff up and kill things.. that's all I need
gaggle64 Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 The entire game is basically tanning around Africa while setting large sections of it on fire. Chances are you'll know if want this game based solely on that premise.
Dan_Dare Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 this just in after my first session: Anyone who doesn't love this game as the most immersive, beautifully crafted open world game on the bleeding edge of what videogames are capable of is a moron. This game is fucking amazing

This game is fucking amazing I second this emotion.
Domstercool Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 I'm playing it on PC on full everything and I can say it's a very nice and immersive looking game.
Dan_Dare Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 sometimes the brilliant chaos in this game ends up being a bit of a curse. I just drove bloody miles across the map but didn't stop at my safehouse to save. Then, round the corner I got attacked by a jeep patrol who just ran me over after the AI just kinda spazzed out over the grenade I hurled their way. Infuriating.
