Far cry 2 had it's faults, sure. But it was a game not afraid to embrace the chaos.
My favorite unscripted gaming moment ever was I was driving past a outpost, having enemies shoot my jeep to hell. I returned fire, only for my gun to jam. I run behind a rock, my ai partner is down. I fix my gun and return fire when suddenly, malaria kicks in. God damn it not now. I'm panicking. I need to save my partner. Suddenly, FIRE. Some enemy threw a Molotov and its catching the brush fire.
I retreat even even farther while everything is on fire, everything is going to shit, my partner screaming. Kaboom. My jeep explodes and the gunfire stop. The idiots set fire to everything and accidentally caused a explosion to my vehicle - and their stupid bodies all charred up next to it. I manage to pick my partner up, patch ourselves up, looted the bodies and continue the hike.
We didn't even start a mission yet. We were on the way TO a mission.
This description is on point and completely brought me back.
100%. For anyone who has not played FarCry 2 that is thinking about giving it a shot, that is exactly the experience you will have. FarCry 2 was awesome!
