Eh, I'd say Battlefield, Far Cry is a great game, but it's not gonna last you as long as Battlefield, and BF is frikin' dirt cheap now.

BF2 will give you more value and play-time. Once you beat Far Cry, it's like, "Been there, done that, lets play online, oh, 5 servers, no one's playing though" experience. I say get BF2, then later on, pick up Far Cry.

No, it's been over for quite some time now I believe.

I enjoyed both games but Farcry is dated now. BF2 however is still going strong, its the game I still play the most and probably will be playing until BF3.

I've heard since TF2 hit the scene BF2 has sort of died down. Not dead, certainly not. Just a bit less popular, I would suggest Far Cry, classic game

battlefield is a better game in the long run, dont get me wrong far cry is a great game, but it hasn't been aging that well over the years and the tridens in the game are definetly a game breaker for some.

You can breeze through far Cry in a few hours and that will be the end of it. Don't expect to play the multi-player because it is dead and buried. You can get the game for $5.00 though.

I would highly recommend Battlefield 2 or even 2142. Both have similar requirements. It's a game you can play for years.

I don't know about Battlefield, I've only played Far Cry. It's a very satisfying game in my opinion.

You will love to hear this...

Get BF2 and download Farcry for free off of Ubi's website.

I have both, and it all depends on whether you are more into singleplayer or multiplayer. Farcry is a great single-player experience, but the replayability is very low. Battlefield2 is a solid (and more recent) game and going strong in multiplayer, singleplayer is practically non-existent.

I'd say BF2 because it will last longer, much longer (not to say Farcry is short or anything). But both are excellent,

Haha I got BF2 and there was only 1 server available to play because i had an older version apparently. Then i got the 1.41 patch and the game became laggy and it would crash every 4 minutes. I dont know what to do because my friend didnt have problems like this.

You don't want the free version anyways. McDonalds + FarCry = Headache. Every time you die you have to watch a 30sec video, which is the same VIDEO EVERY FREAKING TIME! I uninstalled it =) Never found out how it ended.

BF2 for sure.. it's a fun game. I really didn't think much of Farcry.
