Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Far Cry 2 is the latest innovation from Ubisoft in the world of next-gen first-person shooters. More than just a visual and technological achievement, Far Cry 2 immerses players in an entirely new kind of gaming experience. Running on a tailor-made new gaming engine, Far Cry 2 features non-scripted enemy Artificial Intelligence, entirely destructible environments, dynamic fire and storm effects, and multiplayer game-play, all in a completely open world 50km2 environment. Players will find themselves immersed in a war-torn, African state, where they will be forced to make deals with corrupt warlords on both sides of the conflict in order to survive and move ever-closer to their primary objective – the Jackal. Players must identify and exploit their enemies' weaknesses, neutralizing their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning, and of course brute force.

woop woop, nice one on getting prizes

[Ninpo]

When will rules be announced?

[KONSPIRACY]

Prob tomorrow or Wednesday. Pretty standard FFA stuff tbh.

[Ninpo]

Just some suggestions:

Grenade launchers OFF
Highest kills over 3 maps
Small maps are far better
10 minute time limit per map
Standard guns only

[KONSPIRACY]

Yeah thats pretty much what we did at LGF.
You cant disable grenade launchers as far as I'm aware and we use 3 maps in final only.

[Ninpo]

You can't disable them but just ban them, they really would make it soooooo much worse mate.

[KONSPIRACY]

From experience they dont get used as they need to be unlocked using diamonds. Diamonds are reset after each game.

[TeaAnyOne]

KON could you possibly remove 'TeaAnyOne' and 'Kennethhhhh' of the farcry 2 tournament as we wont be attending on the friday

Thanks :)

[Ninpo]

From experience they dont get used as they need to be unlocked using diamonds. Diamonds are reset after each game.

If someone gets 30 kills they get 2 diamonds, which is enough to get a g nade launcher.

30 kills in 10 or 15 mins is easily possible. Good to hear the diamonds get reset after each game unlike on xbl cos noobs would just watch and see who gets the most diamonds then jump on that station for their round. If you get what i mean?

[benji86]

I have to stand by Kon here Ninpo.
People actually rarely got 30 kills at EuroGamer. I believe the only person that got 30 kills or more was Adi and he was set on using the AK to rip people up. Plus rounds were 10mins so I'm guessing thats gonna be the same.

[Ninpo]

You get the AK after one diamond upgrade on the commando. So whats gonna stop someone getting 2 diamonds and turning it into a g nade launcher fest. IMO only standard guns should be allowed and anyone caught upgrading gets kicked out. Keeps everything fair.
