New from WonderdogSoftware.Com GUIDES: Far Cry 2 Walkthrough (Far Cry 2 GAME WALKTHRU VIDEO GAME STRATEGY GUIDE)
Online Walkthrough Located here: Ubisoft visits a new jungle in this PC exclusive sequel. "It was an absolute requirement that Far Cry 2 maintain the exoticism [of the original game]," explains Pharand. "The African savannah was a natural choice because there are several different kinds of plain in Africa. The grasslands are only one, and [allow] long draw distances, offroad vehicle pursuits and longrange shooting and sniping. "Savannah woodlands, on the other hand, actually come to approximate the levels of density you saw in the jungles of the original Far Cry, but in some ways it can feel like urban fighting with small but dense clusters of trees behaving like small buildings. Of course, you cant typically shoot through buildings, while if you think the enemy is on the other side of a stand of trees you can hose it down with a light machinegun to find out." Ubisoft is hoping that the game will satisfy those looking for the originals jungle combat, while still allowing the series to cover new styles of play. Yet large outdoor expanses feel empty unless you have the people and wildlife to inhabit them, which is where the game becomes yet more ambitious. "Our AI is needsdriven, and the main needs are Rest, Duty and Social," explains Pharand. "Scattered all around the world are what we call SmartTerrain Points locations where NPCs can perform actions that fulfil those needs. For example, a Sleep point will fulfil the Rest need as long as the NPC is sleeping."
