Discover one of the most beautiful but also most hostile environments in the world, Africa. You are sent to this war-torn region to assassinate the Jackal, a mysterious arms dealer who has rekindled conflict between local warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives.

In order to fulfill your mission you will have to become a gun for hire, trapped in a war-torn African state stricken with malaria, and forced to make deals with corrupt warlords on both sides of the conflict in order to make this country your home.

Play the warring factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses, and neutralize their superior numbers with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force.

About sproyd's SweetFX Graphical Enhancement Config with 5 comments by sproyd on Nov 29th, 2012

I'm still waiting to start my new job so spent 5 hours today updating to v1.1 
 There are some big changes in v1.1 over v1.0. There is now a config.txt file that once setup per installation instructions will execute console commands upon launch. These are tweaks and adjustments to prevent in-game setting conflicting with the mod.


 Secondly, there has been an overhaul to the HDR so the extremes shouldn't be so bright/dark as many users commented. The difficulty with tweaking this game is that you need to be able to show bright desert, shadowy plains and lush jungle in the viewable spectrum of light. I was able to make tweaks through SweetFX to shadow gamma that allowed me to keep the mod colourful and bright during the day but lift the darkness of the shadows and indoors. Also, the desert should not be blindingly bright anymore - still bright but you should be able to see where you are going!

Let me know thoughts!

The douche bags at Ubisoft have again made it clear they don't give a flying **** about the communities of their games, and refuse to release the SDK. That means no mods. It’s a terrible shame. The game is definitely a work of art, and there are so many incredible mods you could make for it, but that won't happen now. This makes the game's value drop significantly in price.

Also the game tricks you into thinking that the many choices you're forced to make will affect the story. It does not affect the story or the game in any way, which really ****** me off and a lot of other players as well. This could be fixed with a mod. Oh but wait, Ubisoft won't let anyone do that. You can download cheats, trainers, some new maps... but that’s about it. Nothing worth being called a mod from what I've seen.

I had three major problems with this game. There’s no stealth system and the AI could always see me perfectly even if I was behind tons of thick jungle plants, and the weapon system is very restricting. It doesn't let you carry what you want in each slot like the first game, you have to carry certain weapons in their designated slots, which allows far less freedom of tactics and personal weapon choices like in the first Far Cry.

This is NOT Far Cry 2. Far Cry kept it simple. A stealth system that worked, intelligent AI that worked together, simple objectives, weapon slots you could use in any way you chose, beautiful scenery, fun vehicles, and a simple story that didn't pretend to be an RPG. Ubisoft totally ruined that recipe in this game.

And fixing any problem with a vehicle by tightening 1 bolt was just stupid. It’s worse than being able to fix a sentry gun in Team Fortress 2 by hitting it with a wrench. "Ug! Me caveman, me hit gun till fixed!"

6 out of 10. More than $10 and you’ve been ripped off. Sure the graphics are good, the weapons are decent and the vehicles can be fun... but that’s about it.

when you say, they refuse to release the sdk.... are you sure they even made a sdk? they probably didnt even make one... so you should change that to, they refuse to create a sdk to release, because if they already had one they probably would release it, they have no reason not too...

Tightening one bolt to fix any damage is not realistic, true. But they can't waste their time making an animation for each and every kind of damage the vehicle has taken. Any other game wouldn't even bother making an animation for repairs. So in that sense, it's pretty great.

There is a stealth system, it's just made for consoles and it's analog controllers. On the console you can move as slow as you want. On PC you're set on a fixed speed when walking and sneaking. This screws up the stealth. I know this cause I'm using a G13 joystick for movement.

Story? Eh, the only stories I remember from playing Far Cry 2 is the assaults I planned that played out perfectly. The main story didn't even matter.

Everything else you said, I agree with.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2...

Reminds me of how I downloaded it. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is pretty realistic, eh?
It has physical mags when you reload. Just take cover behind a wall, shoot a few rounds, and reload. Then look at it for 30 ages... ...probably...

played it on 360 just wished more people played it for 360 cuz the custom maps are sweet. and if lots of people played it would be nice to have more then 16 on the huge D day maps although it was still fun having sniper battles with like 4 or 5 friends. p.s really liked how you heal your self find it funny you get shot online a pull a piece of rebar out of your leg
