agree:
- Everyone’s out to kill you
- Having to schlep across the whole map repeatedly
- Guard posts that re-spawn instantly
- Buddies :Stupidly starting and ending conversations in bars - they don’t brief in phones, only help me their way.
- getting stuck on terrain.

disagree:
-Vehicles getting stuck on terrain.

other:
-vehicles: mounted weapon has infinite ammo, and never jam,there is no need to reload, can’t be replaced with other ones or upgraded from gun shop.
- gun shop: really the way of buying weapons is stupid
- stupid enemy: several times didn’t see me 3-5 meters away during night and even sometimes during day and sometimes i can tell that they are looking at me.
- really missing: planes, climbing.
- peaceful wild animals made of rubber, probably that explains why their brains can not be blown off
when you shoot with weapons or hit with cars.
- weapons are really nice, however, it lacks firing modes (as auto, semi)

also:
- there are other good/ bad things to mention but this is only a comment that will change nothing, the damage is done.
- this is a game and its impossible to be a copy of real life.
- i really liked it and still.

my top ten most annoying aspects of far cry 2? - i’d have to say almost any ten of the comments on this page.

I’m a pretty heavy gamer and it makes me sad seeing how aggressive and critical you fuckers can be about the games you play. i feel a few ppl on here had valid points about what was good and what wasn’t; some ppl just ranted like bitches because… i don’t know… they design games for a living and they could do a much better job? fuckin whiners. if you think back on all the games you’ve ever played there is no way far cry 2 would be that bad in comparison anyway. the game has its flaws, but its designed so you have to work hard and toil and struggle to complete the game.

i came to this site looking for help on a glitch in far cry 2 and ended up scrolling through a bunch of fuckin wimps crying into their pillows. screw you guys for making me read through all that menstration.

Main annoyance. When you’re firing randomly the guns are fine, but they only jam when shooting enemies. I tested it by firing as fast and frequent as possible…but as soon as I came across some enemies.they just jammed..and it takes for ever to switch weapons because you don’t have enough time to unjam.

Malaria is curable anyway, so why do I have to have it forever? surely an injection is cheaper than endless pills.

I think farcry 2 is not only 50 times better than the first which was also awesome by the way but what you said about it being like grand theft auto with a 6 star level all the time? It’s nothing like that. If it was there would be no place ever to rest but there a million places to rest. you are totally wrong about that. gta sux compared to farcry 2 the cpu version that is. Driving across the map is great because the game can accually last more than a week and I’ve put in 27 hours so far without doing one mission. Guard posts can have many guys in them and once you cleared them properly they never have respanwed guys again and become yours the same as the safe houses. Could you sidestep while sprinting in real life I dont think so and this game is just like real life in Africa. and two kinds of trwables would be found there and you couldnt sprint for long in real life. comparing this game to world of warcraft is dumb. your top ten reasons are very annoying and dont’ apply to me in any sort of way or form. Give the game a break it’s huge which is awesome. the bigger the better. san andreas was way to small and finally i have a game that can take all day just to discover one spcific screen and then after doing everything you can possibly do and explore the entire map then its on the playing the game itself. awesome game i say awesome game. I hope it takes one year to fully beat. If you want a game that takes you to Africa for months than this is it. Not one thing can I find wrong witht his game. It’s Perfect.

I agree with 90% of what Pacaveli420 said.
Nice assessment and well thought out. Nice work Pacaveli420.
Looks like Borne again is another shit splat.
Hey Borne… you’re a shit splat!
We should love everyone regardless of their color, then if they prove themselves to be a shit splat - go ahead and hate them…. kinda like Borne.

overall I thought the game was pretty decent. I found it entertaining and fun to play.
I was annoyed with:
-the constant guard respawns
-traveling all the time to get to missions
-if you try to snipe from too far away it doesn’t seem to work quite right. and the characters look like cult members in some hooded robes (they aren’t close enough for the graphics to load?)
-if you shoot someone in a cease fire there seems to be endless spawning of guys, why can’t I just shoot everyone and be done with the town? =P
-getting stuck on a tree root, pebble, etc when trying to run for cover
-being unable to climb up to somewhere because it’s more than 2 feet above your current level…
-if you’re 1 bar down (or more) on health and have a malaria attack you have to waste a syringe before you can take malaria meds
-there weren’t ‘headshots’
-sometimes the game would glitch, i.e. when you’re tryin to face a buddy to talk to them they would bounce around, you wouldn’t get into the right spot and they’d stop talking
or you wouldn’t be able to conclude a mission because you weren’t standing in the right spot to talk to someone or etc
-I got stuck inside a mountain via climbing over from the other side, I guess it was ‘off the map’ or somewhere you weren’t supposed to be able to get to
-the use key doesn’t update for mounted guns and such, ergo you have to still hit e to exit it, regardless of what key you have assigned.
-guns seemed to jam a bit more than they should’ve. and always at the most crucial moments =\

corrections to some other complaints here:
-sometimes you can fix/recover your vehicle if you roll it or something (or push a boat back into water). the use (default e, I think) option will let you push it, roll it back over, etc
-also stealth / camo does work (I found it worth the money). these things do not make you invisible but they’re significantly different than if you don’t have / use them.
try using a dart rifle from a distance while crouching with camo on.
-you faint if you go off the edge of the map, but you can cross back into act 1 if you take the road
-I’ve shot people through things with the AS50, like behind a fence or something, at least I think I did
-the safehouses show a padlock when they haven’t been cleared…..

random thoughts:
-I played to over like 60% till I realized I could save it whenever, and not have to use the save spots / safe houses =P
-if I had let more of my friends die / shot them all who would’ve been with the diamonds at the end?
-if you walk into someone a couple times in a no fire zone, they’ll shove you. if you sprint into them a couple times they’ll shoot you. as your reputation gets higher they get more timid
-the legend says there’s a symbol for sniper points, yet I don’t think I ever saw them on the map?
-I want a fix all magic bolt on my car!
-fav weapon setups: Uzi, AS50, M-249 Saw, also: Silent Makarov 6P9, Dragunov SVD, PKM
-fav vehicle: buggy (until assault vehicle got upgraded with grenade launcher)
-I found the blurry vision spurts after sprinting to be kinda accurate. seriously doesn’t that happen irl after you sprint? you kinda lose focus while catching your breath? maybe?
-in real life if you got shot by a sniper you’d prob be dead and / or have no idea where the shot came from. and the game does give you a directional indicator when you’re shot
-why did all my buddies try to kill me =(
-shit splat is prob just a troll or one of the million retards on the internets =P

LISTEN UP EVERYONE!! Wow - everyone’s complaints are lame! Consider this folks - You are all complaining…Let me get this straight…. about being shot, ambushed by jeeps coming in from nowhere, guard posts with - ahem- actual guards in them that *gasp* actually shoot at you…can you believe people would actually shoot at you? IT’S A FIRST PERSON SHOOTER GAME If you want to play video games where people don’t shoot at you - that’s called solitaire. It comes free with every Windows installation. The measure of a good game in the words of a likely serious gamer would be something along the lines of: “I want a game that isn’t over in 3 hours, has lots of action, makes me think, is a challenge, engaging, and let’s me shoot a ton of baddies… the game should be not so hard that it takes 3 weeks to play one level/board/map - but hard enough where I’m on the edge of my seat/bed/couch occassionally. Something that gets my blood pumping would be awesome!”

Morons - that is exactly what this game accomplished beautifully. Of the 29 FPS games I’ve played…It’s the best FPS game I’ve ever played! It’s a 10. If you don’t like it - shut up and go play Halo or something - oh, what’s that? You’re sick of Halo? Didn’t hold your attention? Too easy? Maps are too small? No strategy and doesn’t require you to think? Your health just pops back to 100% with a little bit of effort? Malaria is the best part of the game - it eliminated that skippy feeling of “oh goodie, look kids, some health packs I can run over and all the bullet wounds just magically healed” - type game play. FC2 just flat out rocks.

kekeke: Dude your still using the “n” word? It’s 2010, not 1954. Black people have a different skin pigment - that’s all. They aren’t any different than you or I. Let me say that again - there is no difference moron! In fact I would venture 90% of them are better than you - you worthless predjudiced shit splat. Name calling should only be used for people that name call, you shit splat. Your name is now shit splat, not kekeke (clever “kkk” - did you think that up all by yourself?). Everyone posting after this post that agrees, please put a note to shit splat in your comments to indicate unapproval of his use of terms to describe human beings he doesn’t like because of (childish) differences in skin color. Wow. You truly are a shit splat.

I almost broke the fucking keyboard on this game. Whatever mission you do you have to stop for at least 3 bigger fight with fucking niggers at the crossroads. You cant have a normal driving between them either because random patrols coming at you from nowhere and you have to keep switching between the machine gun and the wheel. Then after you fought with a patrol you always have to repair the fucking car or get out and take theirs.
About the nigger music, I turned that off after my first 10 minutes in the game and loaded up d&b in winamp. That music itself annoys me to hell.
So by you would get to the target you already wasted up half of your ammo. Even if you bought good quality weps you have 2 replace them with the trash what you find and thats the second most annoying part that the weapons fuck up. I died because of it many times.
Then in ACT2 it even gets worst. Some of the patrol cars have rocket launchers mounted up which oneshot you also they constantly will try to run you over if you get out of the car which is instant death again.
I had to redo hard missions 2-3 times because on the way back the fuckers ran me over so I save the fucking game at every chance I get. The fact that you have malaria even makes it worst, you die at the middle of the mission and you can go bringing passport for stinkin nigger dogs.

The only thing which keeps me playing this game is the fact that you can kill niggers, burn them alive with flamethrower. I only feel sorry that the models have so poor physics, you cannot cut their head, legs, arms off. Kick would be also nice or if I could cut their eyes out with knife then skullfuck the motherfuckers.

Hackenbush: actually I’m happily married. I got married at 36 and now have 2 cute boys and I’m one happy camper. Sorry you’re so miserable. It’s a bit tempting to retort… but I suspect you are somewhat weak and probably a depressed person. Why pick on someone with problems like yours?…. is what I say. So I’ll pass. Hope you enjoy the rest of your game.

As for getting back to FAR CRY 2: I’ve finished the game now and I must say it’s definitely one of the VERY BEST GAMES I’VE PLAYED. Big wow factor. I felt at the end like I feel when a super movie ends - you wish it was longer. I wish I weren’t done with it. Pretty amazing game. One thing I noticed is I played it on my PS3 and the inability to quick save (F5) REALLY added a lot to the game tension. I would find a diamond and be on the look out for a safe house… fight my way into one just to save so I wouldn’t have to refind the diamond… things like that made it fun. Strategically taking on the baddies was fun too… setting the grass on fire upwind and letting them all burn was a blast. Working my ass off for the super sniper rifle (st50 or something like that) was fun… and of course the MGL grenade launcher (get the grenade bandolier to carry up to 16 of those bad boys) was just awesome. I hated having to choose between the sniper rifle and my MGL though. I really hated that. Luckily you can carry the smaller launcher (carries 4 grenades) as a secondary weapon. This game had a bit of “Hitman2″ mixed in with a little “Halo” with a touch of Unreal Tournament. Before I get flamed for my opins on that and someone says I don’t know what I’m talking about… my stats were up there and I invested the time. I was #8 in the world in Unreal Tournament 2004. Online gameplay in UT2004 is pretty hard to beat in terms of experiential rewards but as far as first person shooting offline - Far Cry2 takes the cake. It rocked.
