Does anyone know if fc2 is going to be as moddable as the first? .

I think part of the FC2 drama is that no SDK was actually announced at all and Ubisoft is very reluctant to release one to not give PC version any advantage over consoles... There is a petition going on since, I think august, so far falling on deaf ears.

Hi guys,

Sorry to intererupt but is this game worth buying?? I really like stalker, is it similar to that?

Thats too bad. Would be interesting to see what can be done with the game.

Is this still using the crytek engine? As i noticed there is a new name on one of the loading videos....

im so glad to see a game with such comprehensive benchmarking software included

all games should do this

Did I read (might be on this thread somewhere) that enemies respawn on this game? So if I take out a small village of badguys, when I return later it will be filled with them again? I understand some respawnage, cos the map would be empty otherwise, but it depends how far they go with it, cos if I take my time taking out a WHOLE village/outpost and then a few mins later they are ALL back, that could get annoying.

Metalface Mark · 24 Oct 2008 at 10:22

You dont get *rid* of it, you only stave it off with medication. You get that from underground missions, starting with the church in the centre of pala.

Then where do you go as the stuff the priest gave me has now run out?

Damn it.. I was all setup to hate Farcry2 (the first was okay but a housemate's obsession with it killed the game for me)...but these posts actually make it sound really really good.

Now just to try and get it running at 1920x1200 on my old 8800GTS640... :S

You shouldnt have a problem. My housemate has managed to run it at that res, on his laptop. 2.8C2D, 4gb Ram, 9800 Mobile GTX. He's got it on mostly High, some settings on Medium, no AA and he's getting about 40fps

Ah, rocking

My setup is 3.2c2d, 4gb ram, 8800GTS640 with a reasonable OC (not great) so hopefully it'll run at fairly similar settings. If I have to drop a few more to medium I'm sure I'll live.

My copy here... but I am not likely to open it.

While I would normally ignore a bit of negative feedback about a game, some of their design decisions are just too stupid too ignore.

Anyone answer my question above please? ^^^^

reflux · 24 Oct 2008 at 10:55

I'm a bit disappointed so far.

This game is so ridiculously linear. All the missions are the same and everything involves driving somewhere, shooting at goons (why the hell does EVERYONE on the map shoot at me) and then fixing my carpy 4x4 that can't take more than two .22 rounds to the windscreen without breaking down.

Wtf guys, since when did grind become fun? I don't want to play an MMORPG.

Well, i killed 5 dudes at an outpost, i returned to it around 5 mins later to find they were alive and well again. I haven't encountered any large encampments yet but i would be willing to bet the same will occur there.

ergh, that sounds naff... kinda defeats the object of taking out the guys, might aswell sneak in and get what you need to get and go instead o wasting ammo. Don;t think I'll be getting a copy of this then, after that and all the cother comments above. Cheers!
