FarCry 2 MP

[digitalErich]

I finally got a chance to play a couple of hours of this and it's a lot better than I thought it would be. While I'm not saying it's as good as, it reminds me a whole lot of SoF2 MP, which to anyone who played that knows what kind of endorsement that is.

Fire, explosive ammo drops, and various gas tanks are really fun in team games, they allow for some great strategies and pyrotechnics. The only issue I see is that the winning team gets a shit ton more EXP...like 10 times more in some cases. I played about 5-6 games on the winning team and already have more than half the stuff unlocked, so it's not as bad as CoD4, thankfully. The only real grind if there is one are the manuals, which are just progress bars that fill as you use the weapon more.

Played a bit of one on one last night with a friend, and had a great time.

VERY impressed. Makes the overall package that must better

Well, after heaping all that praise on the game, I get pumped to go back for more and what do I find? Oh, all my levels and unlocks are gone and Punkbuster is kicking me from every game without getting past the lobby.

Edit: Also, the PC version suffers from the cross console dev...I play on dedicated servers precisely so that I don't get kicked to the menu after every round. If this is how your are going to handle dedicated servers, there's almost no point in having them.

Still gotta try it out. Hope it's fun. I wonder if any CoG'ers would want to start a group?

I'm planning on finally giving this a go tonight. I played a single Team DM match the night of release, but have been playing single player and Fallout 3 religiously ever since.

Anyone planning on being on tonight for some FC2 multiplayer, look me up!

I may put some time into this tonight. I have some ideas for maps I want to make too... just have been so busy with the single player and Fallout.
