Game is way overhyped. AI is terrible. Missions are boring as fuck. Driving is a pain in the ass with the get out shoot gunner shoot driver repeat 100 times to drive down one road. Plot is.. wait, is there one? Hire more than 2 voice actors too please.
This game could have been great, but all it is is just a nice engine. Looks great, runs great. Everything else is dogshit.

Yah, major disappointment. This is actually even less interesting than my first Crysis playthrough.

That's so fuckin true, lol. I remember on several occasions during a fire fight I was standing in plain view of an enemy and he didn't attack me. Also, enemies running straight towards you without trying to get cover. Stupid, stupid A.I. Missions are tedious and dull. After 3-4 missions, you'll know what I mean.
Getting stuck in the middle of nowhere fuckin blows when you don't have a vehicle! The running is a bitch back to town to get a new mission. It's true, fuckin canadians don't know how to make a game, stupid Ubisoft Montreal.

Yeah there are a few different "wide" screen formats, mostly it's either scaled or stretched incorrectly thus appearing zoomed in or with a strange field of view (FOV).
Funny that WS resolutions has been around pretty long now (1440x900 for example) and now 1680x1050 and even 1920x1200 or 1080 (HD) are popular resolutions yet WS still isn't fully supported by a majority of titles. (Granted to me the problem is pretty minor but I welcome corrections if available even if unofficial.)

Does anyone know where are Far Cry 2 control settings stored on PC? is it in a file or registry? I been searching and could not find it... The use interact command gets messed up all the time and I cannot change controls for vehicles....this is retirement.
EDIT:
After searching, I found this file: InputUserActionMap.xml under my documents and other folders for far cry 2.... Now does anyone know how to properly edit this?

For me, FC2 is really a good game and I don't dig the critical views. Of course it has some shitty solutions but generally it's beyond the latest PC games.
I run it on 1280x1024, Very-high, shading high, shadows medium, AAx4 on:
Core2Duo E6300 2.00
2GB Patriot 800mhz
GF 8600GT S+ 256MB
Win XP Pro SP2
.. and guess what- it runs smooth.
8.5/10

Been playing for 3 hours.
Fantastic game, great graphics and it runs fantastic, for the firs time we have a game that uses my 4 cores of my quad processor.
Gameplay is fantastic, the heal system is amazing...
For now is 9/10 , didnt test the mp mode yet.

tried it for about 3 hours...
graphics and such:
great environment graphics, I love how the fire spreads, Maxed it runs smoothly, the engine has potential. The map is huge with no transition loadings
The characters models on the other hand are average at best.. Not even remotely close to the main FC2 main competition.
gameplay 'n story:
You're sent to take a guy out.. nothing new but none excpects a revolutionary story..
i like the wound treatment procedures.. The buddy rescue parts, the first person feel overall..
But the annoyin things are much more
Firstly: "This is your BEST buddy" . And if i don't like him to be my best buddy then what ? 
The : respawning posts are.. lame.. The enemies takes half a clip to die (yeah yeah- headshots are the way, but please... isn't i supposed to be realistic by some way ? )
the malaria part is annoying as hell...
But the worst part is that Africa looks so lifeless.. Occasionally there are a zebra or two, or a single deer. But where are all the groups of animals, lions hunting , flocks of zebras running in front of my jeep There are not even neutral NPCs aside the townsmen.. The only ones that i see traveling on the road and through the jungles are enemies..
oh and if i'd like to spend half the time behind the wheell, i'll to play Grid or some offroad racer... I wonder why the objectives and the current location are in the opposite ends of the map.
So overall i'll give it 6.8/10 .. i'll wait for mods/patches to make it less tech demo like.
Per aspera ad astra
