We didn't know anyone wandered into Far Cry 2's expansive, hojillion-hour-long single-player campaign and somehow managed to make time to check out the game's multiplayer offerings, but apparently there's a sizable community of online FC2 players out there. This group has been calling for more realistic match settings for quite some time -- players can apparently catch more lead than Sonny Corleone and walk away with little more than a scratch and an interesting story.
Their pleas have been answered -- in a recent post on the FC2 community blog, the game's developers announced a patch which will, in addition to rebalancing the weapons in all multiplayer modes, add a more realistic "hardcore setting" to all match types. This mode will boost the damage for all weapons (ensuring speedier demises) and will let players tweak the "spawn times" (but not the "spawn rates", whatever that means). They didn't specify which platforms the patch will be landing on -- hopefully, they'll be affording a hasty death to all three.
The new trailer for the free 60 FPS update is here.
I'm happy with Part 3 & Blood Dragon getting the 60FPS treatment. I'll eventually try Primal, maybe this weekend.
A new FarCry television series has been announced.
I wonder if they'll go way back to where the story started w/ weird animal-like genetic mutations. I don't think the current games even try to tie back to that origin, or at least I don't see any attempt to...
I think this series should feel like an Anthology like the games. Every season a new setting with new set of characters.
Speaking on stage at Saudi Arabia’s New Global Sport Conference (covered by Game File), CEO Yves Guillemot was asked about the future of the shooter series, which recently fell under the control of a new Tencent-backed subsidiary.
Currently playing FC4 for the first time. On the plus side, the 60fps update is great. On the down side, the multiplayer is the weakest part. Just chatting in the lobbies, ppl were only doing it for the online trophies. I don’t know that anybody really wants more of that.
Adding a predator mode would make me and all the ppl who bought the Instincts games, very happy. One can only dream.
I loved the game. Yes, it does feel like a chore, it is repetitive, it does have annoying travel distances and ever respawning guards at all guard posts. But it did give freedom, or too much of it. And the gunplay was terrific. Great game. Try beating it on infamous
How about stop the losing experience problem first and then concentrate on this kind of stuff ^^
Fix the single player game FFS, the sharpshooters with AKs 1KM away, the cars that suddenly go faster than you and the fact everyone shoots you as you try to go ANYWHERE. If you do the first two I don't care as much about the 3rd.
Thats great =]
I love the immersion you get playing this game,it feels like you are really inside the game,and the multiplayer is fun also.The only thing that is annoying is the guard posts e the random car that shoot you.Besides that the game was one of the best shooters lest year.
