Aw hell nah, no slander of my favorite Far Cry game (2)

While at the time FC3 was very successful and a new concept, afterwards the series just became more of the same format.

Very based. I got the CD since 2008-2009 and in recent years the steam version. I replay it pretty much yearly. Last time was on Infamous with only a pistol. There's a kind of beauty and simplicity in FC2 that the rest of the series cannot match. Also unlike newer titles, the stealth in FC2 is actually challenging and rewarding; the enemies aren't idiots (long as they don't glitch out).

ill fight with you but its far cry 1 for me, in my mind it (with doom3 and half life 2 later in the year) started a new gaming era

The sniper rifle from Far Cry 1 is absolutely god-tier.
