Far Cry 2 is a 2008 first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A top-down shooter version for mobile phones was developed and published by Gameloft. It is the second mainline entry in the Far Cry series. Set in a fictional East African country engulfed in civil war, the storyline follows a mercenary who is assigned to kill the Jackal, a weapons dealer inflaming the conflict. The player navigates the open world, completing missions for factions and allies called Buddies while managing their health and equipment. A competitive multiplayer mode allows players to fight in teams or as individuals.
Production took three and a half years, with concept work beginning during the production of Far Cry Instincts (2005). Director Clint Hocking conceived the setting and design, which he wanted to be more realistic than the original Far Cry (2004). The narrative and tone, inspired by Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness and Dashiell Hammett's novel Red Harvest, focused on the lengths to which people would go to survive through terrible circumstances. The game was built using Dunia, a game engine created by Ubisoft based on the original game's CryEngine. In pursuit of realism, the developers added real-time and reactive elements for enemies and the environment. The music, composed by Marc Canham, includes vocals by Senegalese singer Baaba Maal.
Far Cry 2 received positive reviews from critics, with praise for its setting, open-ended gameplay, Buddies, world design and visuals; however its writing, artificial intelligence and technical issues received negative attention. It received multiple game award nominations. By January 2009, the game had sold nearly three million copies worldwide. Far Cry 2 has continued to receive attention for its ambition and survival mechanics. The team used feedback from the game to develop Far Cry 3 (2012).

every far cry intro is like congratulations you didn't die!
then you spend the entire game wishing you were dead
if next video is not about fc4 then 😋🔪
@@alexjr977 I agree :)
@@Wisdawms :)
Or at least about 6, its funnier for the right reasons.
didnt play this game yet never but you switched to hardcore then never stopped bitching about how much bullets to take down a guy I had to stop watching wtf lol
Far Cry 2 fire is something out of this world. The way it spreads is impressive even by today standards.
Not even Rockstar's RDR2 went all in on that and yet Ubisoft did it in FC2 years before one of the most detailed game came out,rdr2
I had perfect time playing this master piece 😍😎
and its like 2-3 gbs
The sounds of the Enemy’s truck revving gives me PTSD.
Especially in Bowa-Seko, where most of the trucks and boats were now armed with grenade launchers and heavy machine guns.
This game absolutely nailed the African setting. The fauna and flora was very accurate, sounds, weather too (as far as was technically possible at the time). Totally agree with other comments here: a remake would be so awesome… I sank many many hours into this game and would do same with a decent remake.
Can you imagine Far Cry coming back to Africa? With today's technology imagine all the animals. Would be crazy awesome.
A remake is needed because this game suffers from the dreaded "27% save file glitch" that makes it impossible to progress...
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 and all the npc bugs it’s so unplayable I had to refund it
@@crazygamingyt7245 I’ve heard the game has some bugs on the steam version but as far as I know everything should work if you cap your frame rate at under 90fps
@@crazygamingyt7245 talking about the npc's shaking and making it so you cant talk to them? yeah i run into that a lot, lucky its not happening last I played
Far Cry 2 is the most different from the later games due to the fact that you feel like you're in a warzone. Is it tough as balls sometimes? Yes. *But it feels so good.*
With the USAS-12 you'll just now them down.
The biggest factor here is the fact that you can't manually heal yourself back to full health like in the games after this. You have to use one of the limited number of health syringes you're able to carry. If you run out of them in the middle of a gunfight, you're screwed unless you can somehow ditch the enemies and make it back to a restocking area.
Fun fact, I actually used the map-creator in this game (yeah, the online mode had custom designable maps) for a geography class project in school the year it came out - the project was to just design a village/town and explain your reasoning behind the decisions...I remember making a nice little river with some basic shacks and areas for would-be farmland and roadways, along with some other details I've long since forgotten. My teacher was very impressed that I basically pulled up to class with a 3D modeled simple village while everyone else just presented their ideas with basic drawings or just verbally. I even played some online matches in that village while the servers were running! Good memories.
Good your teacher saw the initiative there, my teachers wouldnve chastised me and given me a detention.
@@PussInBoot414 Haha yeah she was the best - seriously, wish all my teachers were like her throughout my schooling career.
Bro stole the show😎
@@Sandro234 I Wanna Meet Your Teacher And Thanks Her 😊👍
"I hate this place. I want to go home."
Boy, if that doesn't sum up the FC2 experience.
I agree that this game instilled fear in me when playing as a kid. I'd scream when the enemy ambushed me. I played this game last year to give it another go, and I still screamed. Thinking about it, the engine revving sound when enemies approach even now scares me.
i thought it was just me. i played this when i was 12 or 13 and i was scared af to go drive around because the atmosphere in this game is T E N S E
100% agree on the engine coming is all you hear is the engine, extremely scary game, and imagine playing this at night in-game and in real life, is totally a horror game that should be recommended to all the horror let's players
@@SnipeZeroGames then run you over lol pisses off that I have to save bunch of times cost my storage over by 5 gigs
I just realized now that Far Cry 2 is probably the reason why I recover quickly after a jumpscare.
If you ever wanted a 1960s-2010s African bush wars sim with sweaty french mercs in shorts shorts and toting FALs, this was it. One and only, there was nothing else like its kind. Maybe Jagged Alliance...
such an underrated and badass setting and aesthetic. Me and my buddy from Somalia loved playing this game in middle school lol
FC2 has always been my favorite. Even more than 3 or 4. The world was so much more alive and felt organic. The buddy system was actually good and you really felt sad if a buddy that had saved you so many times died in your arms while you tried and failed to pump them full of adrenaline. All completely organic. And the graphics were absolutely BONKERS when the game came out. So many things about it after so immersive and well thought out. Loved to sound effects of everything. The diamond hunting was top-tier exploration rewards and having to actually find where the were rather than chasing some dumb icon. The fire spreading. Everything.
Well there almost no wildlife and the only enemies you encounter is another soldiers with only different in guns they carry, outpost that always restocked with mens and supplies everytime you move away from it and there no civilian activities or in sight except in the mission where you exchange passport for malaria medicines.
Care to explain How far cry 2 world felt alive?
i agree 100%
getting to the end of act 1 was agonizing
Meh 4 is still the mvp. Everythings murderous from start to finish, the royal army, demon fish, eagles, fuckin rhinos. 2s better on pc. fuck xbox though
Are there any npc's in fc2 apart from the different factions? Fc3 had civilians in villages and travelling around the map. So did the later games.
the "massive hops" thing at 0:52 is because your framerate is too high
Far Cry 2 ties the physics and stuff to the framerate
Cap your FPS to 60 and the game will be playable-ish (no more hopping)
Mods fix everything
Playable ish? The game is still very playable either way.
@@loubloom1941 majority of people would not wanna play a game with bunny hopping NPC's and sped up dialogue. Playable has a diff. meaning nowadays
idk where he got the game from....maybe steam....i have the GOG version and it doesn't do this the game automatically capped at 60 fps
@@loubloom1941 the game softlocked for me at some point, so 60 frames is the way to go
I will never forget my best buddy, Quarbani Signh. Seriously, the *SPOILERS* that happened just before the end of this game (while not making a ton of sense) was one of the most emotionally affecting moments I've had in video games.
Also, playing this game while sick with a fever in a hotel room really adds to the experience.
It makes perfect sense. The entire theme of the narrative is to show how brutal, corrupt and unforgiving Africa really is. No one is a good guy... especially the main ''protagonist''. And I love it.
@@ivanstrydom8417 yeah, the theme really carries it. I meant it doesn't make sense from a logistics perspective, like how did they do it. Hard to explain without spoiling it.
The guns jamming is my fav moments every gun fight is one chance ur weapons will break.
I mean... they all are mercenaries... at the end only working for the highest bidder ...
quarbani means scarifice in punjabi (mother lTongue of Quarbani singh )
The best way to play Far Cry 2 is to have Toto Africa playing while taking out guns for hire lol
I miss the rains! Pew pew pew pew pew! Down in Africa!
@@matthewjalovick set a fire while the instrumentals start playing.
Afrika by Dino also goes hard while playing
@@AS1507a learn to spell Africa but it's not your fault that you went the easy route I would've done the same
@@skittles7906 that’s the name of the song tard and in the Swahili language that is how Africa is spelled
Headshots do kill in one hit guns just arent accurate early on. This is my favorite video game, so many mechanics people dont know about.
Ubisoft saw people actually needing to think to figure this game out, so they went out of their way to give everything a bright colorful UI element, by the time you get to Far Cry 6 it's just random shit all over the screen constantly.
@@nousername2942 bro im still playing this game i just started a new save lol
@@nousername2942At least 6 brought back the healing anims
ROACH DOGG JR! 🫡
@@ashwath5733 that’s not good enough when you’re tryna have fun in a game.
Far Cry 2 shares the same place in my heart as S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Definitely a lot of flaws, could be better, could be more optimized in terms of bugs, etc.
But what's already there, especially concerning the world and guns are a solid 10/10
They both have great mods that better the experience too!😁
This is one of the most unique games Ubisoft have put out, along with Assassins Creed. I wish they had kept at it, but I guess then we wouldn’t have gotten Far Cry 3.
Edit: what I meant is the WHOLE (minus after origins) of Assassins creed has been mostly original, changing itself around. Didn’t mean only the original was good.
Far cry three would have been better if it didnt go over the top and hyper arcadey
Far cry 3 was also so innovative and groundbreaking for its time. Assassin's Creed 2 is also objectively the better game of it and Ac1; but then Obi stopped trying to up itself and just decided to make more of what sold
I much prefer 2 to 3. It's just a more satisfying game to play imo
This game really is to Far Cry 3 what AC1 was to AC2.
@@TommyJohnsen446 There's no such thing as the "obkectively better" game of anything. Plus AC1 and 2 are so different in what they're trying to do that it's just not possible to compare them.
I love watching Far Cry 2 retrospectives. The older I get, the more I appreciate the game.
its my favorite in the series
looking back with brown tinted glasses?
Those engine revving noises are demonic lmao
I haven't even thought of this game in like 6-7 years when I had my second replay.
This is more than nostalgia...this brings me back to the optimistic feeling of what gaming could have been.
We were on a ride that felt like it was going somewhere...instead it brought us to Valhalla and Far Cry 6...
Not exactly progress it?
6 is such garbage. FC needs to go back to what 2 is, and add some minor survival elements to it like in Primal.
I have memories of seing my brothers play this game and giving up after a couple of days lol. Few months ago I played it and... It wasn't as hard as I thought. You just need to think about every move you are going to make, never get cocky and do what you gotta do and get out, specially at missions in big vilages. I was actually surprised on how I enjoyed the game, it's SO immersive, I really wish that Far Fry went back to that style.
And all the confusion (quick dialogs and stuff) and fear makes you feel like you really are in a place that you don't belong, that is suffering from meaningless wars that will never end.
When I first played FC2, which was a few months since it was backward compatible for the Xbox. It made me feel like I was part of the game and not a player which only a very few games can make that type an impact on me. The music that made you feel alone, the atmosphere, the buddy system, the guns, and even shows you that you're no hero nor villain, just a mercenary that was only paid to do this. My favorite buddy was Josip. For some reason the guy always makes me smile when I see him. When my main guns are jammed, it makes me think and panic during a shoot out with enemies, making my flight or fight response kick in. It also scares me that whenever I hear another car that is not mine, I instantly get on the turret and shoot 'cause I don't want to die when I'm this close to finishing a mission. As I finished the game, it felt like an outstanding journey, but an excruciating pain in the arse though. I prefer this over its' successors. While the other FC games are fun, FC2 will have a special place in my heart of darkness (see what I did there)
If the AI didn't have that old school laser beam accuracy.. I'd still play this game just for the fire effects.
But being beamed by 90% of shots whilst constantly seeing the heal animations on repeat, killed the immersion slightly.
A remaster would be very welcome 🤣
I have a few hundred hours in the game. This only happens on higher difficulty, and if you arent relocating after being spotted. Use stealth and flank enemies.
skill issue,
tbh.
reposition constantly cuz u are outnumbered.
dont hide behind filmsy covers, dont do CoD maneuvers cuz even if u cant see the enemy they can see ur body part/hitbox poking to outside cover, so trees are a bad cover to shoot from
the enemy AI doesnt cheat, but they will always try flanking you, u predict that+reposition urself+outflank them.
u can even lure them, throw a grenade to bait, they wont run in there like dumb af AIs but try to investigate while surrounding it and maintaining safe distance from the exact spot while closing in,
so dont throw ur bait grenade in the exact position u want them to be.
sniper? wound someone, use wounded as bait cuz couple AIs will try to rescue him, gun them down.
stealth? dont use machete. melee takedowns are messy and loud.
seriously farcry2 has the most fun AI to fight with
i have hundred hours in this game, and have never seen combat scenario repeat or being predictable borefest
@@btchiaintkidding7837 This. YOu're spot on. I used shotguns and sniper rifles in rotation. Sniper rifles several hundred meters out, and then shotguns up close. So long as you were staying on the move and using silencers and keeping the enemy guessing it was both challenging and fun in equal measure.
@@btchiaintkidding7837 skill issue.. never said I was struggling, just not fond of the mechanics 🤔
This and the fact that enemies are litteral bullet sponges. Point blank headshot with a shotgun ? Tis but a scratch
Man Far Cry 2 was incredible, remember playing the game back on the PS3, the African setting was so unique, driving around the Savannah, Deserts, weapons would get jammed, good times 🙌
The best part of FC 2 is that speed doesn't matter, the cars kill on impact. I once killed a gazelle by getting in a car as the thing ran into it
Far Cry 2 is and always will be the best in the series for me. So gritty, dark and u forgiving. I loved how seamless the mechanics were and how alone your truly felt. The immersion was so fantastic I overlooked the issues like respawning enemies and the driving long distances
The .main thing that annoyed me with FC 2 is how quickly enemies would respawn at checkpoints.
It was like you would take out a bunch of enemies at a checkpoint go to a specific destination and 10 minutes later drive back the way you came.and they would have already respawned.
There's good mods to take care of that
what would you expect for a game at that time?
yeah, this got so annoying i just dropped the game after some hours. Tbf i didn't find the game that fun, looks more like a techdemo than a fun game.
had the game way back in the day and hated it tbh
One of the main reasons I never finished it. Between that and no fast travel, it was just too damn tedious.
I also came back to play Far Cry 2 again this year, and I have to say… there are some great mods out there which really make me love the experience even more than before 👌
Especially there was one which increases the size of the area in which the world does not ‘reset’ (damage/effects on the world stay longer, enemy checkpoints stay cleared for longer instead of respawning so soon after you leave, etc)
This is the only Far Cry game I truly loved, even if the others were ‘enjoyable’ for me too
This one is truly special.
Which mod did you use?
High-school me: Wha? Where's the beast powers and roid apes...
University-me: Wow? This game actually says something about the real world...
Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who was scared of Far Cry 2. I'm now 26 years old but I bought this game back in 09, so I was very young. The random encounters made me stay off the roads, while usually sprinting/crouching lol.
At some point I played the whole game but I probably missed a lot of the cool features because I was too young. At least the multiplayer was cool.
When I played it, after a while I was more after the Jackal tapes than the diamonds. The tapes are awesome.
At which point does he realize the machine guns on top of the jeeps aren't decorative?
I used to call in sick at work just to stay at home and play Far Cry 2. I played it so much that I could memorize the whole map. Gotta say now I really really really didn't like those checkpoints with endless enemies and the weapon jamming...
Calls the vehicle a toyota 4 runner, says jeep on the wheel
The best Far Cry game ever created! Well my fav. 🎉😅🔥
I played this one a lot on release. Then when 3 came out I couldn't get into it. This game was always the definitive Farcry experience to me. Now I wish they'd port it to Switch 😁
Hey a Steam Deck one day and you can have far cry 2 and mod it on that with insane graphics and awesome gameplay enhancements.
Same here. by the time 3 came out and it didn't hit the same fire me at all
I enjoyed three, its much more accessible with the hollywood cut scenes and bright colours, its slightly less depressing but I stopped there I didn't buy 4 or ones after as I could see the direction the franchise was taking. That said I recently bought 4 and its ok but you don't quite get the same feel as fc2.
I just replayed this game earlier this year, for sure wish Far Cry would've continued in this direction. Maybe they will someday..
This is the best by far.... cry game. The fire and explosions are still impressive to this day
Have you ever stuck 9 explosives on a jeep and drove towards an outpost and bailed out before you reached it to let the car roll into enemy lines to blow it up? It lid up the whole screen.
Man this takes me back! Love this game! No Far Cry had an atmosphere like FC2. Weapons breaking, malaria, catching grass on fire, the map. Good times.
No game ever shocked me like Far Cry 2. When your buddies turn on you close to the end. You fought beside them. You rescued them. They rescued you. Than that!
I love FC2 so much, for me still the best FC. Great gameplay and mechanics, great background, awesome combat and guns.
Gun jamming,malaria and playing hardest difficult. Farcry2 hits different :O
Unluckyest guy ever
This was great. I loved watching you figure out the gameplay mechanics.
The buddy system was great in this.
You should record yourself playing through to the end of the game.
We would definitely watch it. 😎😎
The midpoint and second half of the game are very interesting.
My absolute favorite Far Cry, before the colorful enemy markers and quirky characters took over.
It still runs surprisingly well on PC.
To fix the bouncing NPC and shaking head bugs , cap the FPS to 60. Like many older games, it wasn't designed to handle such high framerates.
It's funny seeing a Ubisoft game where people are actually intimidating and dangerous, not rainbow dyed Marvel-wannabe quippers or some random guy from an Army propaganda movie.
I don't think I gardfee2111
this video is so funny and the fact that it is so different from all of the other more rational videos makes it even much more funny
Oh thank the lord another jayvee upload!!! I needed this today🤣
I really liked far cry 2 feels more different then the others
So much small detail in the animations like seeing your hand physically picking up a gun, looking at the Map, everything!! What happened? This needs to return to the current Far Cry games
If any game needs a remaster then it's this one. The setting was unique, the gameplay was great, apart from enemies respawning at checkpoints almost instantly as soon as you turn around, and the physics were some of the best at the time and still hold up now
the enemies were hellbent in killing you too, during my playthrough probably 20% of the time was spent fixing my car just to encounter more enemies later for them to break my car again
They remastered Dead Space.
@@mr.2cents.846 Yes, another great game that still holds up even today but looks even better with new gen console behind it
A remake is needed so that that dreaded game-breaking glitch can be resolved...
In a remaster that should add a huge dlc so that the missions are more varied
Just realised the shotgun suppressor is the one from no country for old men
I love how Far Cry 2 delivers the narrative to you, while the following games, you are the "savior, who will solve everything" here you are just a mercenary, an enemy, just like the others you killed and nothing you do will resolve the conflicts of that place, and this is increasingly evident in the sheet about you in the game, as you advance in the story.
One of the funniest things was when you sniped them in the lower abdomen, most of the time they would be wounded and if you wait a little his friend will come to pick up and try to save him. It was a broken mechanic because you could wipe out all the soldiers in the base one by one like that, but it was fun.
far cry 2 multiplayer gave me hours and hours of memories on ppls maps lol. so fun
Fire physics on this game so INSANE, i remember my chilhood, play with my bro, burn savana with flametrower
Far Cry 2 sits sweetly in my memory for many reasons. I had it as a kid, and played it to death but sadly hit a game breaking bug. A door i was supposed to enter had no prompt to open it. Turned out to be a known issue so I never completed it. It took like 8yrs to get fixed if i recall, and i only realised as an adult when a couple years ago i came back to it like “huh, wonder if they ever fixed that”.
And they had. And boy did i rejoice and blast through the game finding every diamond and everything.
Incredible game, wish more were like this.
The map in particular being in your offhand was such a fantastic idea, especially when driving. Felt so much more realistic and immersive as if you were actually having to navigate instead of a nice line drawn to your objective on a circular mini map. The way fire spread, ammo exploded, and weapons jammed and degraded when not looked after all made for a genuine fresh and interesting experience.
jayvee, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
Far cry 2 was my favorite fc game because the gun would jam. I'm the Marines my gun jammed on the range and I cleared it which reminded me of this game.
This game oozed atmosphere. You never felt invulnerable, so it was a hard game. I think I bought it less than a year after launch and I'm still on my first playthrough -- just keep coming back every couple/few years. I think I'm close to the end. :-)
The only things I would really change would be the fast travel system and maybe slow down the weapon degradation.
I dont mind the time of deterioration because i often would go re supply. What would you change about fast travel? I prefer it being limited
I loved hunting down staging an ambush for the convoys. Loved hunting for the diamonds too. Sniping and letting the enemies try to pick up their injured buddy. Starting a fire at one end of a base and infiltrating through the other end while they were distracted and picking them off. So effing magnificent. They just don't make games like this bad boy anymore. Everything's too casualized.
@@yourneighborhoodfriendlyme4242 fuck yea you know whats up. I liked shooting in one area, walking away and wait for a guard to go investigate, sneak up and kill him
@@DiplomatOfDirt I guess I would make it so I didn't have to travel to the bus stations, just end up at them. Once you do have enough safe houses found, and weapons crates bought, the degradation thing isn't so bad if you remember not to swim with your guns, it's true.
@@PapagenoX09 i feel like fast travel is a bad thing in a lot of open worlds, atleast ones with interesting environments. I think the four set locations are good enough to get you to a general area and makes you actually play the game, not jump around just doing objectives. For the swimming/degradation, its been proven that swimming in the game has no effect on your guns life span.
i love this video, the nostalgia is insane
This was so fun to watch i could watch you play Far Cry ALL day every day great video 👍🏻
It's weird that your guns didn't jam i remember mine always jammed especially the ones i picked up
This game is one of my fav games of all time, the way you check out the map in real time, while driving is awsome and old weapons jamming and stuf..never seen it again in far cry or any other game.
"I don't know where you are! - Oh, there you are"
Best moment of the video.
dude your great. feels genuine. appreciate the content 👍
Man your playthrough was so cool, thanks!!
Ah yes! My favorite Far Cry!!
Far cry 2 discriminates boys between men and let me tell ya, in the end only men exist after they finished the game, its a truly unique game
Jayveeeee: I’m going to be stealthy.
5 seconds later: so anyways I started blasting
Came from the short, needed more chaos with your narration😂
I had this game when I was younger and I could never beat it lol. Love catching things on fire and just watching it spread
Man i loved your Profile picture and Banner.
Subscribed for that.
Come on a****le let's go, nevermind I'm not gonna fight an invalid, that's a bad case of malaria you got there
-Buddy acquired
the healing animations remind me of Michael Clarke Duncan shouting "cut around the meat!"
On a more serious note, playing FC2 on holiday break while listening to podcasts may have been the blissfully happiest, coziest time in my life.
No question, the hardest sandbox fps game out there.
I just noticed that in every new game, you will start in a different area. What a cool detail.
I've played this game a ton, but not recently.
I think I was using Windows 7 the last time I played it.
Not sure what's going on with your character animations, but these glitches are funny 😆😆
I think this happens when frame rate is too high
Windows 1992... Ya freakin kids. That never existed we had Winfows 3.1 then it went to 95.
Love how you just didn't upgrade from that absolute pea-shooter of a pistol the entire video
I want a reboot to this game sooooo baddd like this is literally the best far cry to this day nothing got me hyped more then driving randomly and then the diamond beeper starts going off, gun jamming mid fight, the scenery, two guns primary/secondary, immersion at its best.
Instant like for picking Yugoslavian guy haha, greetings from Croatia and love your videos, keep it up.
haha thanks man! glad you're enjoying :)
I had the opposite effect, games like this helped teach me that it's not about a military career, it's about being a PMC after.
There's a mod for this that I think is called "Dylan's Far Cry Mod" that makes the guns on both sides do a ton more damage, as well as slowing down gun degradation. Makes it a whole new game for combat, requiring you to pre plan a bit more, and use more cover. Won't play without it anymore.
I randomly started replaying this game last night (and then saw this video this morning)... the first thing that struck me was the lack of HUD elements directing me to every little thing of interest in the surrounding area. It has become such a staple of modern games to have your hand held by the devs that it was really jarring at first. However, I very quickly decided that I prefer this.Want to know if there is anything worth finding? Try looking. Want to know where to go? Try reading your map. Very atmospheric game, with so many gameplay mechanics and elements that modern games gave up on... but which turn out to be the things that made games worth playing.
FAR CRY 2 is still my favorite game. The vibe is so good, makes you almost felt like you are in the Africa (never been there) and just do everything to survive. And kill the Jackal!
Some of my favorite gaming memories were from FC2 on PS3 in early 2009. Even on console, this game had no issues and looked incredible.
Make sure you drive about and avoid roadblocks, try to get a buggy for hunting, silenced pistol, mp5 whatever heavy. Scout camps use fire to clear them, listen as the NPCS whisper about you as the killing ghost… love that game
ptsd from that roaring of those jeeps coming straight forward to you

Beautiful Bill Hader impression 😅😊
Always loved The fact you can buy a mortar tube best thing ever
Awesome. Brought back lots of nostalgic memories 👌
This game was so awesome. I love starting fires and watching it take out a whole camp.
That vehicle over-rev sound effect gives me PTSD
Far cry 2 has one of my favorite stories of any fps, the themes surrounding mercenary work, exploitation and destabilization of undeveloped nations, going so far as to make the currency of the game blood diamonds. Your character dying of malaria while slowly creating the demand for business of the jackal, basically everything you do has no point beyond empowering the person you're there to stop
also jackal is the most underappreciated villain of the series.
he is not a psycho clown to entertain the player, he is beyond good or evil and just is himself. an bsolute gem of a game
What do you say to the boys who say the game has no story, nothing happens and is shallow as sh*t?
@@chatteyj That they're projecting.
My 5 favourite weapons of this game are the AS-50, the dart rifle, the USAS-12, (full automatic shotgun), the 6 drum grande launcher and the crossbow.
Whenever i hear that damned engine revving sound i just get vietnam flashbacks or in this case africa flashbacks.
Looks more fun then far cry 6
it's more fun than both 3 and 6
*It is*
You know you can mount those machine guns on the vehicles, makes your life easier 😂
This and Instincts Predator got me hooked
Pvp was lit. Little things like the longer you lived your gun would jam And amazing map editor and community. Started to rival halo for online play
I love the fact that the sniper sound like a blaster from star wars
I played this endlessly as a kid 😂 I still remember figuring out the map was twice as big as I thought it was 😂 i was all like "whuuuuuut!? I just learned the FIRST HALF!" 😂
Best game of the franchise in my opinion. I remember sniping guys with the Makarov from 100m away, so yeah, head shots do kill in this game lol
The foliage in FC2 is some of the best ive seen. I used to love getting the grenade launcher truck and oull up on the camp outside of the main town and start blasting. Every explosion you saw a bunch of leaves fall down and the trees hand branches were swaying back and forth. It felt like they were real trees. You could chop down the small palms with your machete. I remember being excited for FC3 (still love that game) but the tree physics were nowhere near as good or alive as FC2.
Its an underrated classic. Sure it had some systems ( malaria and weapons breaking down) that people didn't like but it made it feel more real. The story was bleh but it was about having fun in the open world and doing a mission once in a while.
Love this game, way better than the road current far cry games have gone and no gimmicky animal companion either
