you had to plan your weapon load out and pay attention to quality

Yup, making trips to the nearest gun dealer to restock after a mission was a necessity. If you ever had to scavenge a weapon off a dead enemy it's because you dun fucked up.
 
That looked really good, and fast travel is exactly what Far Cry 2 needed. I hope they make missions have more variety though because Far Cry 2 got kinda boring.
 
I hope the shooting is less janky and the story is less pretentious.

I would have enjoyed 2 more without it.
 
Holy fuck, they're still open world, with hidden locations, XP, and an economy?

FUCK YES, I'm back on game with this.
 
This looks and sounds really cool. Minus the stupid +10 XP HOORAY YOU SHOT SOMEONE YAY DID YOU SEE THAT YOU SHOT SOMEONE HEY WE ARE JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOU DID IN FACT SHOOT SOMEONE AND THATS GOOD. YAY.

It actually reminded me of modern war shooters. I think they're trying to make it easier on the casual frat kids who play COD or BF.

I hope they fix the respawning enemies and check points in this new game.

yes ..they know they fucked up
with the sequential mission crowd
last time.

However, someone like me roamed around the world for hours playing sandbox shit, didn't mind.
 
XP popups during single player kills now too? This isn't a score-based shooter like Bulletstorm, and it's not COD mp either. Whaat? They should do an Eidos and make it optional.
 
One of the biggest surprises of the day for me. Adored FarCry 2, and I still think it has some of the best pure gunplay in gaming. Love that the slide is still in.

Agreed. Hopefully the minimap will be optional too. FC2 made such great strides in the minimal HUD department.
 
I'm very stoked for dis! I really hope some gun jamming and some of the cool animations like pulling out bullets and bandaging yourself are still in there tho. Also pls have the fire engine that shit was dope.
 
Far Cry 2 was horrible game.. it felt like a chore after while....I hope they listened to all the feedback and improved the gameplay..
 
This game will only be a must have for me if they announce what most important to me.

THE MAP EDITOR.

It's the only thing about Far Cry that has ever mattered to me. Of course this campaign footage looks fantastic, so yes, i'll play it day 1. But I cant shake the horrible memory that Far Cry 2's Map Editor possibilities were never realized properly.
 
Looks real pretty.

Enjoyed some of Far Cry 2, particularly the IEDs and dealer missions, but the game really didn't need 2 maps.

Respawning checkpoints, jeeps from hell, open-world where EVERYBODY wanted to kill you,

dont forget emptying a full clip to kill someone, cars braking down like crazy when hitting the gas, etc
 
I really tried liking Farcry 2, but the respawning checkpoints and everybody wanting to kill you just ruined the game for me.

I want this game to be good.
 
I love Far Cry 2 and the 24 solid hours it took me to play it beginning to end. The checkpoints respawn so you have someone to shoot at later. The game would have been dull if you killed everyone at a check point and they were dead forever. Random road encounters were fine. Everyone wanted to kill you because the game didn't want you being able to shoot up civilians.

The fire propogation alone was amazing. Nothing better than watching a place burn down and the AI scramble because of a well placed shot on a propane tank.
 
This actually looks pretty fun. It's another FPS but if this game delivers it wont be a problem. First one is a classic.

I know it's a pipe dream, but if there was a way to create single player missions within user created maps...dear god. I'd never play any other game. The map editor in FC2 was incredible.
 
I am mildly annoyed at the mini-map and XP popups, but a lot of things could change between now and release. Apart from that, I am loving the sound, look and feel of the game so far. Far Cry 2 was this close to being an awesome game and we could be looking at a real winner with a small change in design philosophy and a few well-placed fixes.
 
Far Cry 2 looked amazing, but the gameplay was broken. It was a tech demo more than a game. Hopefully this can redeem the series in terms of actual fun.
 
FC 2 was terrible, i played for atleast 15 hours trying to like it, it wasn't particularly good looking either(Brown filter, etc etc).
 
The issue with FC2 is that it should have had a SDK or moddability, just like Stalker. All these things could have been fixed and the game would have had an active community up til now. But I guess Ubisoft won't learn.
 
Far Cry 2 taught me that people don't actually enjoy shooters once the 'cinema' and spectacle is drained away like so much pus and they are left with a gun and enemies and the possibility of being mercilessly punished if they don't think things through.

Fool me once... shame on- shame on you. Fool me...... you cant get fooled again!!!

What I'm trying to say is after playing Far Cry Vengeance on Wii and then Far Cry 2 there's noooo way I'm giving that series a chance again.

What about FC, the original, have you actually played that? I bought FC2's CE day 1, still need to play it ><
 
If they have

1. Fixed the controls, and I know they have put in a lot of energy on this one.
2. A reasonable amount of enemy patrols and no respawning checkpoints.
3. Enemies that can't see you with xray vision.
4. Enemies that doesn't take an entire clip to kill.

Then count me in.
 
When people say 'fix the controls', do they realize that what they're actually complaining about is that it's one of the few console shooters that doesn't abuse sticky aim and other tricks? Another reason to love it.

And enemies don't take a clip to kill. They take one bullet. In the head. Any gun fired once at the head kills any enemy in the game.

Far Cry 2 just wants you to be good.

And it will keep punishing you until you are.
