If the map editor is as good as the first ill be looking forward to many stunt ar courses like the ones on far cry instincts for the 360 lol.

The editors going to be great

Will someone finally tell me the multiplayer specs?

"You're goiing to walk right in there like a big man, and take him out."

I really love that line. Makes me stick out my chest like "Yeah. I'm a big man. You know it." :P

Edit: Hyping it AA but hoping for and woulnt be surprised if it got AAA. :D

You put no effort in this thread!

I'm predicting 8.5 by the way.

I have a message from Eddie Izzard. He wants you to tell us when the review will be up...or he will smite you with his 6 inch heals. >.>:P

According to IGN, PC version looks far superior to other versions in terms of visuals. Once again PC version (as always) is superior (KB/Mouse, graphics, Mods, online, etc.).

Very scaleable in terms of your Rig as well. Ubisoft Montreal did a very good job on optimization. All PC Devs need to take note of this (of course most already do it perfectly...really just targeting Crytek here). Love Crysis and Crysis Warhead but they don't optimize engines very well (though Warhead was better than Crysis in terms of optimization). Mid range machines playing Far Cry 2 at ALMOST max settings (mid range PC's are very cheap, much less than $1000 easy). Not quite there but, anyway, kudos to Ubisoft Montreal. Doesn't look as good as Crysis or Crysis Warhead but it looks phenomenal on PC and is very scaleable. Mad props to Ubisoft Montreal for showing just how superior the PC version can be visually (PC version being superior in terms of everything else is a given ;) ).

Picking it up on PC tomorrow. Can't wait. Looks incredible. Guessing either an 8.5-9.0 here at GS for PC version. Not too sure with their reviewing lately.

9 or 9.5

it'll be a great game

Haha, I like the new addition :D

Also, Farcry won't get a 9.0. I don't know why but my spidey-senses senses all! :P

Im not expecting much but Ill say 8.5 I think it will be an FPS that will deliver a good experience.

I'll say this game will score an 8.5-9.0

Should be a great,solid game though.

9.0

Either way, I'll be picking it up, it's just my type of game.

It's multiplat, so 9.0, but my hype for the rest of the upcoming exclusive games is 8.5.

Yup, every thing, here on GS.

I see you already have Far Cry 2, what are your impressions so far?

I don't know About this GAME. ThE OpeN wORLd seems More LIKe a ChoIR than ANy thing else.

Honestly i bet half the game will be spent just trying to get from point A to point B. You'll Just wanting to finish the story being so bored with just killing random people.

IN my opinion!!!

Yah, also you can save anywhere, any time, on consoles you're apparently restricted to certain save points located throughout the world. Good thing considering my stupid PC crashes randomly when running games and flash videos... Hoping that won't happen too frequently...

I'm wondering though, how does the PC level editor work? Is it a seperate application and similar to something like what Crysis had or will there (also) be an integrated level editor like in the console versions? While the Crysis editor is probably great and all that, I can't create **** with it. I need that stuff to be more accessible. And it's just more fluid if you can access it directly through the game.

Oh never mind.

Really the best part of the multiplayer is the map editor, which requires a bit of a learning curve, but ultimately should be usable by pretty much anyone who buys the game. Compared to other, more hardcore editors that come packaged with games, this one's a breeze to use, with little to no technical knowledge required. It's a different setup across PC and console versions, but all allow players to create, publish, share, and download created maps from across the community and use them for multiplayer matches.IGN

Sounds good.

I cant see this game getting anything over a 8.5 here on GS it looks to be another cookie cutter FPS with free roaming gimmick.Gh0st_Of_0nyx

you make 8.5 sound like a horible score.
