Far Cry 2

Far Cry 2 casts you as a gun for hire trapped in a war-torn African state. Stricken with malaria, you must make deals with corrupt warlords on both sides of the conflict to make the country your home. You identify and exploit your enemies’ weaknesses, using surprise, subversion, cunning and brute force to overcome their superior numbers and firepower.

An open world

You can roam more than 50 km² of African terrain without loading screens, choosing your own route through a living world. The DUNIA engine’s RealTree technology simulates the deterioration of nature, and the environment is destructible: everything can be broken or altered, including in multiplayer.

Fire and combat

Fire spreads according to the wind and can be used to surround and trap enemies. You can attack with Molotov cocktails and flamethrowers. Enemy behavior is not scripted: medics drag wounded soldiers to safety, grunts can come to fear you, and your reputation and actions can cause enemies to drop their guns and flee.

Factions and missions

You fight for two rival factions and work your way toward your primary target by any means necessary. More than 70 side missions can earn you valuable information, new weapons and vehicles.

Multiplayer

You can challenge your friends, though you never know who might betray you. Multiplayer includes the same technical features as the single-player game, including its destructible environments.
