About Far Cry 2 -

Far Cry® 2, the next-generation first-person shooter from Ubisoft, will take you deep into the most beautiful but also most hostile environments in the world: Africa! More than just a visual and technological achievement, Far Cry® 2, the true sequel to the award-winning PC game, will provide you with an unprecedented gaming experience.

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 neutralise their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force.

OPEN WORLD
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!

DUNIA ENGINE
The Dunia Engine 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…

REAL-TIME IMMERSION
Real-time story telling, systemic auto-healing, minimal in-game interface are just few of the features that will make you feel the tension of being alone against barbarous warlords that threaten thousands of innocent lives.

WEAPONS OF CHOICE
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.

VEHICLES
Fly, Drive, Run, slide and hover over the huge open world with your glider, trucks, cars, boats and much more.

CoD 4 and Bioshock both run fine for me under XP with 2 gig of not particularly fast ddr2. Crysis demo ran fine too (never bought fyull version). I know the time will come when more is needed but then that will likely be around the time i need to ditch XP and 'get with the times'. Smile

is the 50 km 2 meanning its 50 by 50 or is it gonna be like stalker long and narrow.

That's the beauty of PR 50 km^2 could be any rectangular shape, still though its impressive.

A Square area of 50Km^2 would have the side around 7 km

So a 7km time 7km square gives an area of 49km^2. Of course it could be 1km wide and 50 km long.

Taking average walking speed of a human it would take 2 hours to walk a diagonal across that square.

its a shame really, because you can't help think they mean 50km * 50km which would be 2500 km^2, now that's big but still only 0.0004 % of the earth's surface (water and land).
