Far Cry 2, where's the much deserved attention?

Far Cry 2 is an upcoming (Oct. 21) FPS with a full fledged MAP EDITOR, IMMERSIVE 50KM OPEN GAME WORLD, different singleplayer possibilites 80 HOURS OF SINGLEPLAYER, GREAT GRAPHICS/WEATHER, smooth GAMEPLAY, etc. Already reviewed (PC version) 9.4/10.

This is nothing like Far Cry Instincts, this is going to be an amazing FPS on the 360, potentially one of, if not, the best for 2008. I recommend for those of you who don't know it to look up some footage on Youtube.

Did I mention a MULTIPLAYER MAP EDITOR? Not the "Forge" piece of crap, an actual map editor you create land from th ground up and has over ONE THOUSAND objects from buildings, vegetation, vehicles, etc. with a 512m x 512m map size.

A map editor that allows players to post their maps on Ubisoft servers for others to rate and recommend, and for seamlessly EASY download size/rates in order to join other people's games (20 seconds, not even, to download another player's map and join that room of up to 20 players).

This game needs some attention, so much work has been put into it and it looks very well polished and great.

im very hyped for this game but its just coming out at the wrong time

i love this game it will be the best of 08 maybe, but theres just way to many games to be excited for like fable 2, fallout 3, gears of war 2, the new halo game is being very much talked about, COD5, saints row 2, dead space(maybe), tom Clancy's ENDWAR. these are all great games...games i'm going to be getting but great games. its hard to be hyped for them all, especially fable 2 since it lost its mulitpayer on launch till when ever and the special edition is cut..its just like the first game one after another that all your left with is a crap game...

So its not just farcry that is being left out its all the games its just so hard to be hyped and in control of all these games coming out, i know i'm going to be flat broke trying to get these

ya farcry owns bit first fable 2 then i get farcry then fallout 3

only got enough for fable but about 2 weeks i should have my 160 dollar cheak for working election poles on nov 4

Holy Crap seriously u can do that with the map. This definitaly does deserve more attention.Hackeysacked

yes and thats one of the big reasons why people love farcry games because of its map editer complet mapediter when u lower the ground or makes hills or water and then u cna pick what u want ground look like grass or destert or w/e then you haves tons and tons of items vechials theres really no limit to the stuff you can use like forge u have money b.s well on here endless think like forge mode on halo like 50x better unlimited power http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lnG4WhXMtE

hmm well most people that i know including myself didnt enjoy far cry i thought it was average, single player completely uninteresting.its had a map editor before that suked imo i mean it may not have been as deep as the new one but you could build your own stages using actually land pieces and such. What really made it bad is that like 95% of all of the user created maps that i played on were complete garbage and you had to wait for a long time while the game dled the map.

i just had an overall bad exp with farcry on all fronts i could never understand why people liked it but i may give this one a try it.

I concure with you on some of these points.

Far Cry (Instincts)'s singleplayer is quite linear. This one has a 50km open world and you are able to MAKE CHOICES on what to do in terms of storyline, with 9 different playable characters in the singleplayer.

As for the crappy multiplayer maps... Ubisoft has known about this issue and has implemented a map rating system. So I'd imagine a 1-5 star system being used, and crappy maps will have low stars so you know just how good/bad the map you are about to join really is.

This game will be excellent!

I imagine a lot of the hype for the game is in the PC forum. That said I think after the game is rated, provided it performs well, I think It will have a growing hype. It might be a bit of a sleeper hit.If COD5 turns out to be more COD3 instead of 4 I could see Farcrybenefitingfrom that.

Holy hell, 80 hours of singeplayer gameplay. That bit of news has pretty much eliminated all doubts I've been having about this game. Yay. Now to update my wishlist:

Far Cry 2: CHECK.

Too epic to handle, I want it NOW >_

yeah farcry is going to be great but hey don´t compare it to halo in the map editor cause they´re totally different games and halo is the best(at least for now) in this mode.

but this is about FC2 and i think that yeah it should have been given more atention but hey it´s going to be released almost at the same time as Fallout3 and GOW2, so u know it´s being covered by much better games(in my opinion).

Also another quote I read from an article, depicting the campaign alone can be completed between 50 to 100 hours...

"Players looking forward to shooting their way through Far Cry 2's 50-square kilometers of African wilderness best set aside the better part of a few weeks (at least!) to do so. Varying reports suggest it could take as long as 100 hours (for compass-be-damned wanderers, no doubt) to complete the game's single player campaign alone."

Ive always been hyped for this game. 80 hrs of gameplay? wow, i want is NOW!

I already have the game fully paid :)

Getting it day one!

oooooooooooooooooh yessssssssssssssss

I want this so much ;)
