Okay people, I just felt that I needed to make this thread for those of you that are playing the game or are considering buying it. Now for starters, Far Cry 2 is a great game. It's extremely fun and if you are a fan of FPS games, this is for you. I just felt like I needed to get that out of the way.
Now for the problems, I have noticed that a lot of people online and myself included are having problems with saved files. They can become corrupted very easily in this game and after they are corrupted you are pretty much SOL. I had recommended this game to a friend before I started having this problem, he bought the game and loves it but he said that he also has had this same problem, both of us were atleast half-way through the game when the files were corrupted and unplayable.
But now for the clincher problem that I had with Far Cry 2. I decided that after I played through half of the game and that saved file became corrupted, that I'd erase the file and start over, this time using two saved files to ensure that if one became corrupted, I'd be able to go to the other file and play not far behind from where I previously was. I did this and half way through the game, roughly around the same time as the first problem happened, something worse than a corrupted saved file happened. What happened was the "RED RING OF DEATH".
So now I had to send my X360 into Microsoft for repairs. Now I have had that X360 Elite for almost a year and I never had any problems with it whatsoever. But after playing Far Cry 2, the problems began and eventually caused my X360 to have the "RED RING OF DEATH". So this I guess is a warning to all of those that might want to play this game, that it's probable that you will have these same kind of problems.
Now I have to decide if I want to play it again and finish it after my X360 gets back, or get rid of the game altogether. This would be an extremely easy decision to make if the game wasn't so much fun to play.
