I did, yes.
I just decided to take the chance and I can't say I've regretted it.
This is my chance to rant about Far Cry 2.
So, you pick your character, which is pretty gay because having pre-made characters takes the feel of the game away for me, from that point. You know somebody else is going to have the same character and it's just not as cool as making your own character.
The annoying thing is going through the game with Malaria. That just pissed me off. It seemed cool and like a nice original addition but it just got annoying. If you run for too long you pass out. ****ING FAAAAAAGGGG.
The online play is shit. The gun upgrade idea is quite cool, but if you have 3 diamonds you have this super great sniper rifle which everybody that has reached rank 4 has, so every game is either faggots running around sniping or faggots hiding and sniping, which isn't that fun.
The missions are just the same things over and over. Go half way across the map and shoot something until it blows up, or go half way across the map and get me something. Then shoot something until it blows up.
There is far too much walking in the game, vehicles are just lame. It's either a car with some average speed, or a truck which is pretty slow, or a buggy that is cool to drive off hills and shit, but apart from that isn't all that great.
The map editor is pretty cool though.
