I'm not sure if i like it. I think the graphics are great, the shadows and lighting are spot on. It's the gameplay I'm not too keen on.

Why is everyone shooting me? Like the above poster, why are there diamonds in big brief cases in the middle of nowhere?

Bit confused so far

I do however, think the bush fires are awesome :cool:

Most people think it is the other way round. From what I have seen, the graphics look pretty sexy and the gameplay looks even sexier.

Waiting for my collectors edition to arrive tomorrow. Can't wait!

I have no incentive to finish it after playing for 4 hours. Tell me it gets better/things change from finding mission after mission, otherwise this is game fails.

BF2 was full of glitches with the mouse & control reasigns etc,I remember the frustration & loads of carp, rubbish game , won't buy it threads & yet after it was patched it became one of the best long lasting games out.
Given a chance & some obvious patching to sort out the immediate faults this game could become a modders dream with lots more animals inc. predators & more vehicles

Anyone done the mission where you have to destroy the fishing village? I've been walking around there for an hour now and still have no idea of what to do. Its the mission you get from your mate in the bar.

Some thing's is broken, the game doesn't want to fun full-screen.

I've installed it, loaded (which went fullscreen fine) the changed the display options to what I want, now it'll only startup in a window

Alt+enter.

Has anyone joined one of the factions yet & if you enter one of their areas do they then not shoot at you ( like Stalker)

I think that's the place I went and destroyed randomly while I was wondering what was supposed to happen next.

I picked something up that looks like a remote bomb (detonate by phone) but if it is infact one, I am unsure as to how I would go about using it. Quite frustrating really cause setting fire to the place failed.

4870 with latest ATI far cry 2 fix driver.

I had this but the hotfix solved it. I've a HD3870.

Surprised no ones really mentioned the fires so far. Seeing as it was the main thing they kept going on about when it was being made.

Can you say anything except from amazing? Using fire as a tactical weapon is great.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 23 Oct 2008 at 20:05

Surround a group of zebras with fire and sit and laugh I hope

Ring of fire.

You have a cruel mind

Whats up with the mouse?! Have they just taken pad control and applied it to a mouse?

I hope a patch sorts this and allows for more customised keys while they are at it.
