The backblast can also light grass on fire

It made EVERY fight an intense one, you never felt overpowered cause anything could go wrong, haha

IIRC the gold version of the guns that were hidden all over the map were rustproof and ran perfectly without any malfunction. Edit : A quick google search seem to show I was wrong, there is only few golden AKs and they decay like every other guns, but at a much lower rate. I was pretty certain I saw a golden Desert Eagle but it must be from another game around the same time (more than a decade ago...holy crap time goes fast).

Never breaks first person either. Game is great and the fact that we can still play it without jumping through hoops. Makes it even better!

@@frankp.8263 There's only the Golden AK, and it still degrades. Still better then most other guns tho

I had a ambush planned out with my first RPG. It broke and it ended in a fire fight that lit up the entire forest. Got the IED and became a Demoman.

If your guns jammed and you got malaria during that fight, you’ve lived the Far Cry 2 experience.

Man I remember doing that a couple times🤣. Once I set up my ambush zone, complete with IEDs, armed with an RPG and on the high ground overlooking the road. Sitting there, feeling all badass and shit, watching the convoy approach. That badassery completely evaporated when the bloody convoy takes a right turn 80m from where I was set up and drives away from me. Another time I was too close and down hill from where the convoy was approaching. The IED and the game physics hurled the hulk of the exploded truck at me.

@@mr-laroque9604 dude those missions were dope

Those people riding jeeps with a gun mounted fucking scares me

srls i stopped playing when i found out that my first buddy always died from overdoze in is last mission

@@pierreprtn4059 no he got michele as his first buddy in the first half that means Michele gonna betray Kev, whoever he gets as his first buddy in the second half ODs

Yikes. 😅

Damn man, that ending still hurts like nooooo 😭

same. I cant believe how many games are being pumped out right now.

gta 4 also came out that year. It was indeed a time to be alive

Indeed

@@Aidan977 I love that game

I played fallout 3 more than ive played all games combined since then. It's a shame how downhill games have gone. Just pumping out the same shit with better graphics and more bugs. I can barely get through the story on most games these days and after that I feel there is very little replay value.

I remember playing it back in the day and it was pretty cool, there's stuff that should have stuck around for future Far Cry games, except for the checkpoints on all the roads that constantly repopulate, so getting anywhere was always a nightmare.

You also look for gems

Haven’t played this in forever, but I remember i loved it at the time. Slightly repetitive at times, but never got to me.

@@mediumvillain they did it so much that if you free a post in far cry 3 it would never repopulate,which makes the world empty and boring so quickly,so i think there should be a middle ground.

@@leegenny8712 Far Cry 1 doesn't feel empty at all as there is plenty of enemies everywhere spread nicely out. It's also just semi-open which means the developers had more time for each place. It feels really professional compared to Far Cry 2 and 3 (which are also really empty and filled with cutscenes and driving...

This More detail game then new far cry

MaLaRiA

I doubt it , people hated that thing when far cry 2 was released

Hell, make another purely hardcore Far Cry. Plenty of people loved 2 as much as they hated it, so it'd definitely have a big audience. The fact that plenty of videos and comments about Far Cry have been fond and praising ones only further cements my point.

@@johnhandzlik659 And alot of people loved 2 thats why I say have it in a hardcore mode in future Far Cry titles so the many many fans of 3-6 can enjoy the game or have it so there's a realistic mode that can be turned on that gets rid of fast travel and adds weapon condition

Don’t forget the world builder. That shit was awesome. Loved putting random things together and watching them fight to see who would win in a big arena I made. You can’t do that in any of the recent games.

you wish, they are going to add sponge enemies and grinding for tiered loot and overpriced hats, that's what you are getting

Especially in the jackal tapes. He’s so unapologetic about his beliefs and so desensitized to death and business

It’s definitely the best? Maybe 3 if you like that better but that’s about it.

@@Flemdragon I could easily say I was a 3 person, but I would have loved if they were able to make 3 as oppressive and real feeling as 2, while still having goofy stuff like the suits I couldn't get into 2, but I did have a ton of fun trying to do stuff and screwing up because of how rough the game was and getting cornered, even if I died, it was still cool getting into those firefights 3 makes me feel too powerful too early on in comparison

In my eyes it’s an underrated far cry game and far cry 3 is overrated the boss fights were weak in 3

@@noaamonyakuza5 I mean, the Vass "fight" was really cool, but yea, it was weak that both fights ended in QTEs, not that 4 did any better, but you can't deny it was a great game when it came out, and that makes 90% of an impression

Yep, agreed. This game has its flaws, like every game has, but the immersion is absolutely the best. Nothing on your HUD, no markers on your enemies, no nothing, you have to eyeball everything, and the sound! The sound is just as important here. Why clutter the screen with markers, objectives, and other obtrusive info when you can just make it work naturally, like you would in real life. They did great job by merging it all together in a game world so immersive you can even feel the rain when it starts raining in the game.

It was all over the box as advertising.

Gun jamming and malaria were way less intrusive than people made it out to be, and guns never jammed if you frequent the shops, and made unlocking guns satisfying knowing that u cant just pick/loot rusty af guns from dead bodies. It was a great feeling to ditch your used ak and swapping it for shiny new one at pristine shape from the shop, and the AI was awesome too

Definitely one of the more experimental FPS out there. And I'd say one of the most loved for a reason.

I forgot about the buddy system until I was watching. What a great system!

@@btchiaintkidding7837 it feels like "padding out time" which is a valid point, I never like the driving sections, not even in critically acclaimed games like Half life, because c'mon... it IS just time padding, I play shooters, not Driving games, GTA seems excusable because of the title... but even that's pushing it as driving isn't really fun in those franchises either

@@someblackguy7371 In harder difficulties u can never drive ur way out from gunfights, long drives are not an option, the bullets do enough damage to render ur vehicle immobile immediately, so u can never make it driving sim even if u wanted to. Game would force u to take detours, learn interconnected off roads, patrol patterns of vehicles to ambush them. You are supposed to learn the terrain, it is filled with shortcuts and beaten off roads interconnecting bits of whole map. And traversing through the terrain is fun, filled with hidden diamonds that has fun parkour, jackal tapes with cool VA, unmarked enemy supply camps, safehouses and great ambient noises to really build the atmosphere. Figuring out the best and most efficient paths to ur objective is half the fun instead of braindead driving through roads. And even if i was following the main road, it was always filled with well planned ambushes of patrolling vehicles with my AK, just an ak would safely,quickly kill of vehicle gunners. I spent like 10x more times on feet than driving in every playthroughs. The only design failure was giving the game an easy mode and making the normal difficulty way too easy. Not to mention in easier modes they give u too much ammo capacity and way high medpacks capacity and enemy bullets dont do any damage. In higher difficulties u will be killed by patrolling vehicles by mounted gunners even before u step out of the car and u cant just drive through enemy checkpoints through roads, they will kill u and do enough damage to render ur vehicle immobile, or chase u down to death, or most cases u will be caught off guard by another patrolling vehicle mid-chase from the opposite direction and just get gunned down while in the vehicle from both sides. If u manage to drive away by sheer luck u wont have enough supplies for the main objective. Dark souls and Doom eternal devs had balls to force u in a engaging and fun zone, fc2 devs werent ballsy enough and allowed to ez pz difficulty and let ppl get away with it ruining their fun

I loved when I half drowned, climbed out of the water and pressed the heal button only to pry a giant piece of rebar from my ribs. Dangerous waters in Africa, I guess

@@HugeESmalls never trust the African Wild Rebar

Exactly what I thought. Maybe if enough people believe it........

I bought the game on PC-ROM (I even paid extras to preorder the limited edition with bonus content and a poster) when it came out but my hard drive crashed and I couldn’t reinstall it on my new computer with the same CD key. I was never able to access multiplayer because of the anti piracy software. I must’ve sent a thousand emails to Ubisoft support but they never responded. I wish I got to experience it.

@@GrizzlyTank that sucks, it was so fun!

I remember that map!

You must have loved fc3 flamethrower mission then.

@@ingydegmar2060 I sure did, best part of FC3

@@ingydegmar2060 I play games really stealthy like but that mission was the first one where I went ham and it was so much fun with the music and weeeeeeeeeeeeeed

Yep never went anywhere without my grenade launcher and flamer

No dont remake it like FC3 or 4 this game is great because its different then the tired formula of the last 4 FCs the AI hurt and will even out flank you. The sickness you had forcing you to do aid missions. No annoying collecting random plants to craft a meds and having them limited around the world. Just give it a new engine and call it good

@@DesertWolfpup Well I agree with you. What I mean is a bigger open world with the level of detail like FC 3 and 4 where you're not limited in just gun fight but can also do some other activities too. Make the game even more enjoyable. In FC 2 you're in middle of Africa but there's so few animals around, the area you can go also get block by some hill/mountain all the time

If you think difficulty makes a game better then you should try SCP: Containment Breach, it’s harder than dark souls, because you’re basically left in the dark, and it’s mostly trial and error, and you figure out things on your own, and my favorite part is that you have a BUNCH of options, here’s an example for a situation: You are in the entrance zone and you open a door, then you see 3 NTF’s staring you down, and you have to think quick or get shot. Here are some options: 1: put on a bullet proof vest and helmet and try to sprint past them 2: put on SCP-1499 and vanish and wait for them to walk away 3: lure them to SCP-173 or 106 4: put on the super gas mask, run past them and get shot then bandage up (risky and hard to do) 5: put on the super gas mask, run past them and heal with a cup of estus 6: ingest a cup of god and temporarily become invincible and run past them 7: run away

A true classic

Except the game itself is just far cry 3 filled with boring missions and a meaningless story- this game was honestly horrible imo

I always fought too. I didn't die too much tbh

You don't really have a choice with that. You either fight as soon as you see someone or they shoot your car enough that you're forced to fight. Gets really old after the hundredth time

dont think i ever landed a successful hit with it lol

Think I only ever used it in that particular convoy mission, and just guessed the range. It usually worked surprisingly well

@@Marshmobilise I once did accidently. It was so cool

Malfunctioning RPG FTW!

There is a lot of content for a 2008 game!

@@TheDennys21 not really. They had a lot of nice shit, but not that much gameplay variety or story. Look at GTA SA from 04, like 100 story missions, large open world, you can drive cars, fly planes an shit. Ya know

@@bloodangel19 i guess ur right

@@bloodangel19 I don't really think all the copy pasted busy work from the later Far Cry games adds anything, rather it detracts from the over-all experience. Not saying this game couldn't have better mission structures, story depth and more developed side missions and character interactions, but what it offers in emergent story telling is way beyond anything that the scripted encounters every ten metres and way too frequent animal attacks in later games could ever hope to offer, and all the collection bs from the sequels should be straight up canned. As for gameplay variety, if you know how to use all the mechanics and manipulate the ai, there is endless opportunity for creativity to be had here, which is more than you can say for the much more scripted nature of the mechanics in later FC games, no matter how many varieties of scripted gameplay sequences they put in there.

​​​@@patrikkarlsson9463There was collection bs in this game too with 200+ diamond cases. The 19 jackal tapes and finding all buddies.

That’s not confirmed.

It's a theory, not fact.

@@yeetus514 ubisoft confirmed it so yes he is

@@law5121 when did they actually confirm it? I never seen them do it

You be soft became soft 😜

Far cry 3 is short and sweet, Far Cry 2 is the best.... if you don't want to complete it's single player. Honestly 2 is tolerable JUST to play the game ignoring the single player existed because if i do something 100 times it lost it's specialness, something far Cry 4,5, and 6 forget what made 3 special... because it was short.

@@someblackguy7371 far cry 2 was an amazing game. Sure it didn't have replayability but what it had was a good story something that 3 lacked imo. 3 felt like CoD met a survival game and had an inbred child with magic voodoo

@@justinfourie3422 lol clearly you haven't played either, Far Cry 3 had pretty astounding First person animations, NO respawning enemies, and legit wild life, and unlike 2, 4, 5, and 6... it knows when to end, and unlike Call of Duty, it doesn't drag. The Story of far Cry 3 have actual tension and a "Show don't Tell" vibe, Far Cry 2 is pretty much "lecture, lecture, and more lecture" and Call of Duty have Third person cutscenes, unless you're playing older Cods then it's "oooo look at my LOADING SCREEN texts!"

@@someblackguy7371 mate I've played every single far cry game with the exception of Primal and 6. I just didn't finish the 1st one cause it was too wonky. You cleary haven't played 2 because it is literally not "lecture lecture lecture". It's gunplay is far better than 3, guns actually feel like guns, enemies aren't bullet sponges (much like CoD), there are far more mechanics hidden inside 2 than 3. The only parts where 3 has 2 beat is the world size, wingsuit and graphics. 3 is overrated as fuck and is not the best far cry game by any stretch

@@justinfourie3422 2 is Lecture lecture, and more Lecture, the Gunplay is nice yeah, so are the animations but imagine having your Favorite burger, but then instead eating it every day (like Ubisoft did with 4, 5, and 6) 2 straight up give you this Burger ten times in like... friggen span of five minutes, again and again and again and again, I call it the "ubisoft" effect, same thing happens in Assassin's Creed 1 in 2007... it... just... Drraaaaags. the Flavor LOST it's taste 2 hours in. 3 is overrated because it DESERVES to be overrated like DOOM, it EARNS it because it KNOWs when to end and when to NOT ....waste, your.. time. Far Cry 2's "open world" is a SIMPLESTIC maze, "oooo should I take... the left path? or right?" yeah such thought provoking level design... not really, Honestly Far Cry 3's open world is IGNORABLE and their campaign is STILL Linear, and that linearity actually makes stuff FUN and honest, Ubisoft games were BETTER linear anyway... look at OLDER games like Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six... exactly.

It still is
