I think one of my biggest problems is that the gunplay is terrible. The guns just feel like complete crap. You have to empty an entire magazine just to kill someone. I'm also not sure where the creators got the idea that guns jam this much, or that guns rust easily, as most are made of materials that resist rust incredibly well. IRL you can treat an AK-47 like garbage, and it will rarely if ever jam.

The original Far Cry had some high tech weapons like the G36 or OICW that felt powerful and were incredibly satisfying to use.

the gunplay is better than crysis you dont use that much guns in crysis so its great!

1 more guns than most games

2 the too many bullets is because they cant make the enmies hit you less like graw

3 the jam thing is because those aint A class guns but stolen and sold to africa also not everyweapon is designed to work well in desert or underwater so yes it jams!

The guns from the game look very neglected, extremely rusty and dirty, etc.

My dad handed down a pistol down to me that's about 30 years old and wasn't taken care of and is pretty rusted and it does jam from time to time. I own a Remington Express shotgun... also jams from time to time, but this is not from neglect, just a malfunctioning product.

Guns do jam, any gunowner should know that... Especially for guns that have went uncleaned for months and months. I don't think busting out the can of Rem Oil is at the top of the list for African rebels =P

Amigro

guns jam not a lot but consider this

1 in far cry you use them alot

2 they asre stolen and sold to africa not A class

3 the conditions in africa make guns to jam not all weapons are designed to fire in desert or underwater

my brother is in this stuff thats how i know!

[QUOTE="unrealplaya55"]The thing I hate about FC2 is that its linear. When you are on a road yhere is no other way to destroy a checkpoint unless you go guns blazing.unrealplaya55

1 you kidding me right? you cant attack a base from 360 degree

2 thats the point weapon based combat in real life the weapon is your best friend, if it jams you dont treat it well?

And guns arent made of silly puddy. The thing is I own several guns and jams do not happen near as much as they do in the movies or games. So you need to stop basing games off fact.

look you wanna play a game or something made 100% how you want it?

[QUOTE="thenewau25"][QUOTE="deathcy"]

Far Cry 2 is only graphics.

end of story :)

thanx

fetelth

... hahahahahahah lol so what crysis is?

lol again

FC2 is like Assasin's Creed. Tons of hype, people like it for abit, gets good reviews but later on you find out how repititive and shallow it really is.

i prefer than unfinished garbage i dont wanna play like crysis or stupid hype for nothing like stalker

[QUOTE="N3xus9"][QUOTE="doyousmellthat"]

How does FC2 give you more options? Name one thing yuo can do? Crysis you can use the environment, pick up enemies, Stealth actually works, you can beat enemies to death with objects in the worls, pick up objects and hurl it at them, FC2 sucks, and is nothing but repetition. The Ai in Crysis owns FC2's dummies. The spawning ruins any fun in travelling around. What is the point os having an open game with nothing fun to do? FGC2 is no more open, half the map funnels you in linear paths you HAve to go down, where enemies respawn in 30 seconds so you have to clear out the same camp 50 times.

You could shoot tires on vehicles in Crysis and they would flip on the enemies, cannot in FC2. You cannot fricken lean, how stupid is that, nor go prone. You could kill enemies by making tress fall on them in Crysis, you could use stealth and use sleep darts, and never kill a soul, try doing that in FC2. FC2 is a game that was obviously designed for ADD console gamers. You could use strength to smash in walls on buildings and make them fall on unsuspecting enemies. Crysisowns FC2, sorry. What is there to explore iN Fc2? Having a big world does not make a game better, FC2 is proof of that, the details are what matters, and FC2's world is stale, repetitive and boring.

Also, learn english.

Crysis is a much better game on so many levels than Farcry2, both technically and gameplay wise.

thenewau25 uses Crysis hatred as a springboard for attention! I wish Gamespot had an ignore function so we wouldn't have to read his woeful ill-thought out opinions ... or having to try to decipher his atrocious English language skills.

I'm on board with the both of you. The thing I hated most about fc2 is the shooting mechanics. Personally, I think the shooting mechanics suck. If it took the shooting mechanics of say.... CRYSIS (i have my problems with crysis but the mechanics of the game are amazing.) I would have a game that i would probably play though. I gave it about 3 hours and I have no reason to go play it again. It almost feels like call of duty 2. Wish i would have bought Dead Space because fc2 is a DUD!

NOOOO CRYSIS SHOOTING MECHANINCS SUCK AT LEAST IN FAR CRY 2 YOU USE GUNS AND LOTS OF THEM NOT CRAPPY POWERS ! also if you speak many languages you kinad miss some dont you think?

I'm really tired of listing everything that's wrong with this game (if you really want one, I wrote a review. I think I gave it a 6.0 which was generous). I can't believe that you think that everyone should think this game is great. It's easily the worst FPS I've paid retail to play (some freeware games are pretty bad). It's nothing like they promised and that pisses me off.

I really don't think they're capable of fixing this game so that I'll enjoy it enough to finish it.

oh yeah? but fear is better? that has the same bad combat problemsno vehicles and its totaly linear and the most simple and deathborign levels ever, as for repetive its the same enemy killing all over, it throws some scares jsut to make a dffirence plz fear without slo mo and scares is the worst fps ever!

FEAR multiplayer is pretty badass.

You don't kill the same enemy over and over. There's a variety of units, but you fight the 'grunts' most of the time. The storyline in FEAR isn't rittled with identical menial tasks. You don't have to backtrack. Combat actually varies because you don't fight the same enemy in the same spot over and over. You aren't invincible in FEAR. Enemies AI actually loses track of where you are (enemies in Far Cry 2 have a 360 field of vision). Combat in FEAR is more intense and compact than Far Cry's. Level's in FEAR may be boring, but at least the combat is functional and fun. About the only fun gunplay in Far Cry is sniping, but that's just because it actually has semi-realistic damage. I feel like I'm playing with waterguns when I use assualt rifles in Far Cry 2. Any weapon in FEAR will almost certainly kill an enemy with 2-3 headshot, but at least that makes sense (FEAR soldiers are super-soldiers, Far Crap's are people wearing T-shirts). It's awesome to pin them to the walls with a nailgun.

FarCry 2 has the same enemies regardless of where you are. FEAR has much more variety of units and a changing enviroment. Enemies in FC2 are in the same spot, every time. Your entire point is flawed because FEAR did have Slowmo and it did have the atmosphere.

Not to mention, some people enjoy linear games because the story is usually about 10 times better and it's action is more compact. Not everyone enjoys the repetitive, menial tasks that riddle Far Cry 2's gameplay.

bla bla bla you just stated you opinion like not to mention that most people like linear games WELL ME TOO BUT MOST PEOPLE DISSAGREE! plz fear is all over the same in every room enemies dont diffier much and they are no diffirent ways to go, and the combat is about the sam takes many hits

i like games with guns and worldmap not powers and levels like crysis, logical?

most people like good games noth linear and open, Logical? Just being a big map does not excuse the bad gameplay.

crysis has a bad gameplay for me why now worldmap not many guns and i wann paly with gusn ONLY and drive around not extra abilities!

A reply to everyone

first of all stalker is a copy of boiling point you slep there and have vehicles in a huge worldmap like far cry 2, second the gunplay is better than crysis is more balanced andyou use weapons not suit abilities so its a bettter weapon based fps and thats something you cant agree, the 20 bullets things is something that fps are proud the last 3-4 years fear , stalker , crysis, in every game is more difficult so does far cry took it to the next level, am not saying far cry is better than crysis in everything it has the stuff i wanted to do in crysis and i couldnt, eg climb up a boat, a worldmap to explore and drive around for ages sinve its a real size map and not a crysis level that you shoot korean every 2 minutes like they were placed there to pass from that road and shoot them, very generic, far cry unlikely has a worldmap and has no reason to place enemies around like they waiting for you to give em a ride, so yes its borrign but thats the oint you should not see this as a fps but as a gta style freeplay game, The map is bigger than stalker and allow you to explore more widely, am not saying that in terms of techinical is better than crysis, apart from the ability to set vegetation on fire, what am saying is that the gunplay in crysis was mediocre, few weapons not real not a single one and require you to use stupid suit abilities, now you didnt like the healing in far cry 2? well i didnt like the abilities in crysis, both new and inovatiive but not to everyone, what am saying is that yes far cry 2 has the crysis syndrome that i was whining before, but guess what this game has it too and worse, but thats becasue no one said "oh this is bad" however i dont understand how you bashing far cry and dont mind some of the same flaws in crysis, but WTF its the same for cryisis in the begining and fallout 3 when it comes out, BASHING but after that alll fine, every time a game comes out people start with dissapointing me too for stalker!

far cry is not a 9.5 but it has graphics i like a huge worldmap unlike games like stalker that pretend they got a big worldmap or a bellivable size worldmap that requires you to drive and not reach point A to B by walking its not meant to be an action fps, and finnaly about the freedom, still i cant climb a boat in crysis that the first thing i wanted to try, but it happen in far cry 2, also in far cry 2 i liked the ai adn plenty of weapons, so if you want a fps with huge worldmap and totaly weapon based and driving gameplay without extra abilities and lots of guns, far cry 2 is the deal, and how do i hate crysis when i rated crysis warhead with an 8?
