First there was Far Cry, then came Crysis, now Far Cry 2 !! This time Far Cry 2 will take you deep into the most beautiful but also the mos hostile environments in the world: Africa. Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out “The Jackal,” a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfil your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses, and neutralize their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force.

Far Cry 2 offers an open world gameplay. The extensive artistic research combined with the next-gen engine will allow you to explore over 50Km2 of seamlessly rendered African landscape. No game has ever provided such freedom of movement!

Far Cry 2 also uses a new game engine known as the DUNIA Engine, which was built specifically for Far Cry® 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montréal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more.

For a FPS game, the most important thing is the weapons of choice offered in the game, and Far Cry 2 don’t intend to dissappoint their players in the aspect. Far Cry 2 allows the player to choose from a wide range of weapons to make your way to your primary target. Meet the fight head-on with your machine-gun, go berserk with your machete or make stealth kills as a Sniper. If you feel that the atmosphere is not warm enough, light up your flamethrower and let your enemies and everything around them feel the heat.

Here are some screenshots of the weapons of choice offered.

 
(Sniper – Dragunov, Umm .. snipers .. my favourite )

 
(Assault Rifles – AK47, The most default of all rifles for a fps game)

 
(Sub Machine Gun – Mac 10, I know it looks like a pistol in this screenshot, but it’s not)

 
(Machete, In other words, a knife. Every fps game needs a melee weapon. Half-life - crowbar, bioshock – wrench, Far Cry 2 – Machete. Nuff said)

 
(Machine Gun – M249 SAW may be. Looks like M249 SAW to me, but I’m not sure whether it is. Heck who cares ? =D)

 
(Flamethrower. Feel the heat ~)

Here is the official trailer 2 for Far Cry 2. Enjoy!

(P.S. Can’t wait for the release of the game XD)
