FarCry was amazing. Crysis looks to be even more so, and if this FarCry 2 is legit, then I'm sure looking forward to it

It's a fan site, obviously. IIRC, someone pulled some RARs off of the Ubisoft site that had a bunch of unreleased information such as concept art, and maybe some code snippets.

Hopefully they keep the damage more tactical than action like it was in the original. I'm getting sick of games with pistols that take a magazine to kill a zombie.

No, not at all. The only similarities between the Far Cry games and Crysis is that they both involve jungle islands and are both being made be CryTek.

Anytime save was there, the plot was fine and the voice acting was hilarious.

the Devs promised 'anytime save' and couldn't deliver. the 'hacked' save works . . . sortof. :p

the plot had gaping stupid holes . . . like running from Ground Zero of an nuclear blast and freefalling 1,000 feet from a helicopter . .. . with no problem other than my immersion gone due to broken credulity.
:thumbsdown:

voice acting is amateurish . . . bad . . . looks like they saved money by using their friends.

I'll admit the save system did have a few bugs but overall it was very usable.

A very low yield nuke going off deep underground; it's possible.

and freefalling 1,000 feet from a helicopter .
We didn't actually see the height of the helicopter when Jack was pushed out.

voice acting is amateurish
I actually found the voice acting to be one of the highlights of the game because the Mercs were hilarious.

Agreed.
If I want realism, I'll watch the news.

I thought the Mercs' voice acting was hilarious! Especially when they know you're there but they can't find you. :D

FC had awesome replay value b/c of the openess of the maps. I never did like having to use the console to do anytime saves. They should just do a standard F6/F9 thing like everyone else.

I'd LOVE a FC2 even if the graphics were identical to the orignal, just it had a whole new game/plot/maps. The sniper rifle in FC2 was one of the best ever, IMO. Like the original sniper rifle in UT. :thumbsup:

Isn't Crysis supposed to be Far Cry 2 in effect? (in terms of the gameplay and outdoor maps) I don't see the point of having a separate Far Cry 2, given that the first game had no real story to speak of.
