The far cry 2 improvement thread

I'm one of the people who's loving the game. I'm currently at 58% of the game based on the statistics screen. I think Ubisoft made a mistake using the Farcry title. That made a lot of people expect a high quality shooter. Farcry 2 is much more like GTA or Mercenaries 2.

If I could redesign / change the game I'd:

1) Add civilians to the world. Just people walking along the road, small clusters of huts with people who are not soldiers. It really kills immersion that the country seems populated by only soldiers.

2) Make factions matter. Align yourself with one of the factions and they wont attack you unless you shoot first

3) Stop having the enemies just attack the second they see you unless it's in a guarded 'mission target area'. Have the soldiers at the check points stop you. If your with an enemy faction they'll attack, if your more or less neutral they might try to demand 'toll payment' (a bribe) or try to confiscate your weapons / car / diamonds / whatever. the higher your reputation the less likely the soldiers should be to attack you since you'd have earned a reputation for being a mean #@$

4) Bump up the damage on automatic weapons

5) Give the AI a driving course. The AI sometimes seems pretty good (going for cover, trying to help wounded allies) other times it's kinda dumb. But once the AI gets behind a wheel it becomes a complete retard I'm driving along in my huge Land Rover with a .50 cal mounted machine gun and the AI spots me in his bloody ford fiesta.. and he tries to ram me?!

Mazoch

I like your ideas! It would have made the game much more enjoyable.

what is with thenewau and his hatred for crysis??? i've read so much of his garbage in the forums but never commented because i could never understand what he said. dude get over it. Crysis and Warhead are two of the best fps money can buy.period.

anyway far cry 2 has a lot of things wrong with it. I just don't feel the immersion. Although im enjoying the game i just feel i could probably enjoy it on a whole new level if it was improved. I spent the last hour traversing offroad trying to avoid roadblocks at night and i have to say i saw the potential of the game. I saw animals at night grazing near water holes. campfires lighting up the night sky. But then it all falls apart because they don;t capitalise on such little strokes of genius immersion.Its a well optimised engine and good graphics but Ubisoft thats not all we wanted. Maybe you should sell the Far Cry name back to Crytek.

I swear this is true that i parked my car and got out once in the game. turned around and saw this zebra run into my car and just drop dead...WTF?!?!?!?! I've fired a flare gun into a guy but it just drops in front of his feet and explodes....why doesnt he catch fire???? i fired a roacket launcher at an approaching jeep but the rocket just swirled around on the ground before exploding in my face. Anyone else have weird bugs like that? Why can i not lean or go prone? this is clearly a console game first and foremost and i feel cheated by Ubi's claims of it being a PC first game. PATCH IT UP!

From what i have read thenewau25 cannot even string a coherent sentence together,i would think twice before taking his opinions of a game.

just my two cents

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"]

[QUOTE="ferret837"]It would be nice if i didnt have to pump half a mag into an enemy before he dies.wado-karate

Wasn't that also like with Crysis?!

Do you think they will release some patches for all these issues?!

Not for a month or two after release is how Ubisoft works.

Ubisoft works?!

But fix the respawn times and I'm happy.

-I wish the game had a fast travel option in it, traveling on foot takes 5-15 minites or more sometimes

-enemies respawn way too fast, you never feel like you accomplish anything because of how quick the enemies respawn in the game

-it takes way too many shots to drop enemies sometimes (there not wearing armor..so why do they seem to take a beating like this?)

-not alot of diversity in terms of enemies and mission types in the game..

Personally I think some of you expected too much out of the game its seems to be a 50/50 love or hate thing going on..to each its own, personally I'm having a blast playing the game so far..(amazing graphics, gameplay and sound design all across the board)

wizdom

I Agree...I spend all my time travelling one way to other, fighting for 2 minutes, then all over again from one way to another... It is not a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER, it is a FIRST PERSON DRIVER

Playing Far Cry 2 made me realize how good Crysis is.

I bet Far Cry 2 for console is pretty sweet in comparison to most of the FPSs they have, but on PC... you might as well use it as firewood once it gets cold.

Dont be stupid microsoft isnt going to fix dx10...they will just make a new one and scrounge every penny you have to run it...much like ATI and nvidia had talks together to release cards at certain times for price fixing.Astaroth2k

I think you can change the highlighted road signs.

Go to My Documents/My Games/Far Cry 2 (don't know how it's in Vista) and open the GamerProfile.xml file with Notepad. Change UseRoadSignHilight="1" to UseRoadSignHilight="0".

I haven't tested it, but in theory it should work :P

I agree with all your points

You know what else would be cool, if you were to go really far into the bush and find a isolated tribe. At day time they go fishing and sit around their camp and at night they start dancing around a big fire.

But as it stands you can't really go far into the bush cause the game for the most part is maze of roads...

If you don't like the road blocks, just go off road. Works every time. 8)

I've actually spent most in game time roaming the wilderness in my buggy, so the occasional time when I decide to go on the road the occasional road block is fine.

yeah after an hour of playing i realized crap i dont even need the roads. although a lot of the roads are lined with cliffs and trees that funnel you right into a camp. sometimes they truly are unavoidable.

Everyone attacks you on sight, doesnt make any sense, even more when you just started the game and you are still a nobody. Respawns way too fast, its quite annoying.

Less monotone missions. I've done like 5 or 6 arms dealers missions, and its ALWAYS about destroying a convoy, and the said convoy is ALWAYS at the other end of the freakin map. Missions in general are most of the time just way too far for no reason, its quite annoying, really.

Maybe less shiny colors also. It seems like they want it to look more real than real life. It basically hurts my eyes after a while. Also, maybe they should recenter the GPS in the car or something, because when I'm steering too much one way, etc. I usually dont have the green light for diamonds in the screen, its pretty stupid, Ive got to like steer in another way just to be able to see if its flashing or not.

I personally just love the game! I honestly dont need many things changed as im having a hell of a time with the game so far.

LOL, that is no bug. That's called a damaged rocket launcher. In the game, weapons suffer damage, and damaged weapons may function badly, like by jamming, or exploding in your face, just like in real life. Its actually pretty accurate.

why?

1 so crysis is all advanced and you dont mind the flaws, far cry has better gunplay and has the same problems crysis had why you making pathetic points like give ai a driving course this is a problem to all games in your beloved crysis eg the ai doesnt even now how to drive a vehicle apart from scripted appeareances but ai in far cry is dynamic and gets inside a vehicle and chase you, so plz apreciate that!

2 stop the crysis is better cuz you dont drive that much, ever heard the open ended gameplay 50 km2 means anything?, thats why its better than crysis the island on crysis was to fake like level not a map, even far cry 1 had better maps!

3 the ai shoots you at the second they see you? and that award goes to crysis for half second not a whole second, also the damage you take is less, and ai doesnt move like unreal tournament bots you shoot them and they fall down, not hundrends of bullets like you claim just you keep try to shoot the head, and thats not easy

4 finnaly the reason vegetation aint that great is cuz you can set it on fire and bugs happen in crysis a lot check youtube, also happens in mercs 2, another openeded game, so no big deal!

5 crysis didnt even have much of wildlife or some belivable civilazation like villages or road labels so plz!

6 i think you need to make a crysis improvement thread!

then stop ranting about far cry for riddiculus reasons that rexisted in crysis!

i've been playing this game for days, and nope, this game is NOT in desperate need of improvement. as a matter of fact, Far Cry 2 is amazingly polished for its enormous scale -- i would go as far as saying that many games of smaller scale didn't do quite as many things right as Far Cry 2 does.

to be honest, i find the Far Cry 2 bashing on this board quite distasteful. i'll be the first to admit that this game is far from perfect, and could use some improvements. but looking at these threads full of up-tight posters ready to slander Far Cry 2 at every opportunity given makes me wonder -- perhaps there's a reason why pc gaming is dwindling. becoz, more than ever before, this platform seems to become a place where effort is not appreciated and bias disguises itself as taste.

Jinroh_basic

ohh yeah this game doesnt need improvement , if thats so then every game does!

I could make a huge long list but to keep the game changes actually doable I would do this:

1. Make the driving have much more meaning. Let the vehicles last longer and allow fun, longer chases by maybe dropping grenades and molitov kocktails behind you to try and shake the enemy. Make an actual race out of it(without gunfire) like GTA's done where you have to out drive, hide and evade them.

2. Keep this hills and ridges but make them passable or climbable while on foot. Funneling sucks.

3. Put some attacking enemies (people and the current animials) in forest, not just in towns and check points.

4. Add more and random treasures for more exploration fun....diamonds on bodies, in trucks, in huts, in river shores, on roadways, in rock ledges, in ground; not just in setup hokey briefcases.

to be honest, i find the Far Cry 2 bashing on this board quite distasteful. i'll be the first to admit that this game is far from perfect, and could use some improvements. but looking at these threads full of up-tight posters ready to slander Far Cry 2 at every opportunity given makes me wonder -- perhaps there's a reason why pc gaming is dwindling. becoz, more than ever before, this platform seems to become a place where effort is not appreciated and bias disguises itself as taste.

ohh yeah this game doesnt need improvement , if thats so then every game does!

This game needs a tonne, as right now it is the biggest let down of 2008.

NOPE that goes for fable 2 or might fallout 3 or for crysis and crysis warhead for some users, the proplem is that hype got you too much, its not a let down its the same let down as stalker and crysis to those who expect what they show them in videos and hype not the actual game, that apllies to every game apart from gears of war thanks to mndless x360 gamers

The ACTUAL GAME is a dissappointment, understand now? FC2 cannot hold a candle to many games that have come out this year alone, and crysis owns it in every way, despite you spamming threads saying otherwise. look arond, you are the only one psoting this nonsesne, most people are posting how lacking the game is for a reason, yuo are in the minority.

How do you know the hype got me to much, lol. I do not listen to hype, the problem is the game just isn't very good, unless boring repetition is your thing. I exepcted the game to be average based on what I saw, and I was right.
