Farcry 2

Posted by Mr.Silver Sunday, April 12, 2009

Ubisoft developed the Dunia Engine specifically for Far Cry 2. Among other things, the Dunia Engine delivers realistic, interactive environments, special effects, real-time night-and-day cycles, and smart enemy AI.

Expansive, Realistic Environment
Far Cry 2 is set in a fictional region of Africa where you are caught between two rival factions at war. The Ubisoft team spent a lot of time filming and photographing in Africa to get all the details of the landscape and native wildlife. The result is a huge gameplay area that is 50 square kilometers, taking players into and out of the jungle and savannah. Wild animals such as zebras, buffalo, gazelle are encountered during the game, with both players and enemies allowed to interact with them.

Far Cry 2 features an incredible level of detail and realism, with a minimal in-game interface to detract from immersion. For example, players will need to navigate the world using an in-game map and navigation system, weapons will disintegrate over time, and fires will spread and propagate.

Each of the actions a player takes is reflected in the environment and changes the content of the game. To fulfill your mission, you need to play the enemies against each other, using both strategy and skill.

Huge Range of Weapons and Vehicles
Far Cry 2 offers gamers a wide range of weapons, from a machete for hand-to-hand combat, to a sniper rifle that can stealthily pluck off enemies from afar. As weapons disintegrate over time, they might jam or even explode in your hand.

There are also a large range of vehicles such as gliders, trucks, cars, and boats that will let you fly, drive, slide, and hover over the open landscapes.

Multiplayer Options for up to 16 Players
Far Cry 2 supports up to 16 players and has four gameplay modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Diamond, and Uprising. Players can choose from six different classes in multiplayer, each with its own set of pros and cons. Just as in the single-player mode, multiplayer games will feature dynamic elements, making each session unique.




You can explore the world of Far Cry 2 from inside a car or flying on a glider.

very fun game still with flaws5
Hi everyone, I'm here to tell you about a game that has planted it's seed in gaming history...no sorry it's not mario, far cry 2. Lets talk about the gameplay

so first things first the sheer scope of the game is good, even though not on the same scale as that of oblivion it still is very hugh and gives you much to look at. We have all played games that make us stop and just look around and say goodness well far cry 2 does that just that then some looking at the sunset or sunrise is just awe inspiring to say the least. Another thing is the wild life when your in a jeep or dune buggy or hang glider and you see the animales running along the tundra or beside you it makes for a awesome sence of being in africa. Another fun aspect of the game is the freedom to of time to take on a mission or to take out an outpost, the game has a day/night cycle and dynamic weather from hot sunny days to warm cool nights or rainy days/nights offering more cover for sniping, now you have flame thrower an it's day time you see an outpost start a fire then pull out your sniper rifle and shoot an ammo box and let the wind an bullets kill your enemies. You also have to find diamonds throughout the land even though it really doesn't do much to change the game it is the currency in the game to by bigger and better weapons, you also take part in weapon shop side missions they are repetitve but it help to also unlock more weapons/vehicle/player abilities. to really bring the game to life all weapons have a life cycle for example if you tend to use a sniper rifle more you will not only see your weapon get rusted but it will jam/break on you and in the middle of a gun fight that=death. You can however take your enemies weapons but and I mean BUT if you do that, that gun has a higher chance of jamming/breaking on you because the militia can't afford good weapons. So gameplay wise it's kind of a balancing act but it still makes out to be one heck of a ride.

GRAPHICS: To make a long stroy short the engine was built ground up just for this game the draw distance is insane the amount of destructablity in the game is just insane point blank the graphics are just rediculus

SOUND: The voice acting is not that great or good but the music is just awesome for the setting of the game and you don't hear the same thing over and over while not fighting the music is very mellow not loud thus giving you the opprotunity to pay attention the music fades out and all you here are your foot steps the grass moving thunder in the sky and wild life in this department they cared for it they loved the developers showed alot of care

overall this game is just huge eventhough some side missions do get repetitive the reward system will keep going through with it and there really isn't much of a story but the sandbox, weapons, graphics, and alot of other things the game will find a way just like me to keep you entertained and wanting more so with that said KEEP GAMING ALIVE!!!
