Though Far Cry 2 has been out for about 203 days now, Ubisoft has finally gotten around to fixing a game-breaking save issue with a patch released for 360 owners yesterday. Additionally, a Hardcore mode has been added.

Ubisoft has announced a second patch for Far Cry 2 is in the works, though it's not clear if it is just for PC or for consoles as well.
Among the things on the bill are rebalancing of all weapons and the addition of a Hardcore difficulty.
No word on when we'll see it, but it's nice to have that to look forward to.
"There was so much talk about Far Cry 2's open-world structure and its beautiful landscapes that another important feature of the game - the easy-to-use map editor - went relatively ignored. Well, no more. Ubisoft has announced that a guide to the map editor will be published in Spring 2009 and it will feature contributions from gamers like you."
If there's one thing I've been missing on the UK version of Home its the game spaces. Areas especially designed by the developers to expand and promote their game. It looks like I can finally stop being gloomy though, as one of the leaders at the Playstation Forums has announced the Far Cry 2 space will be available after maintenance on Thursday. There will also be a leaderboard put in for the Red Bull race with a few weeks.
"When it comes to wanting to have the best gaming setups, many end up spending an extraordinary amount of money on them. The cost involves not just the actual computer or console, but the HDTV, sound system, wiring, room layout and furniture plus soft furnishings.
Until now, most self contained gaming systems resembled a racing chair similar to a racing car cockpit with a joystick added. Even the great looking, and terribly expensive VRX MACH 4 (Ultimate Forza 2 rig), still looks like an ov..."

A forum post on Far Cry 2's official German forums from an Ubisoft rep has confirmed that the PC version of the title will be receiving a patch next week between December 8th and 11th.
Ubisoft has announced a DLC pack for Far Cry 2, the sequel (and I use the world loosely) to Crytek's Far Cry, set for the end of November. The Fortunate's Pack will include quite a few new weapons, maps, and vehicles for players to enjoy in both single and multiplayer modes. Far Cry 2 was developed by Ubisoft Montreal and uses the new Dunia graphics engine.
"The first Far Cry 2 patch has been released by Ubisoft and is now available for download. The 42MB update packs multiplayer, singleplayer and map editor bug fixes. Here are the notes in full..."
It seemed like this was only a PC problem. Its almost become common to find a PC game pirated on the web. But it seems like people are moving on to consoles. This image alone tells the whole story. Thousands of peers and people downloading the game, for the 360. Such a shame. Lets hope this doesn't move on to future games on consoles.

Well it seems that Ubisoft's narrative director Patrick Redding has let a small wildcat out of the bag at last weeks Game Convention when discussions around Far Cry 2 and its franchise started up.
For my money I'm hoping that they do follow through with keeping it all within Africa, as the setting is much more conducive to creating such a varied atmosphere within a game. It will allow them to come out with the next iteration much faster and allow a better flow within the franchise as well....
We've all been wondering what games will contain Trophies, ever since they launched back a couple of months ago, and whilst only a few titles have been patched with trophies so far, how exactly does the future of Trophies and the Playstation 3 look? Well, ps3trophies.org decided to go to Leipzig to ask that question and they've got back a list of games that will include trophy support.
It's finally here, news and video of Far Cry 2's map editor in action. And it looks sweet as. Plus there's a great item and link to a really fascinating viral site based on Far Cry 2. You'd swear it was a real-world situation. Excellent work by the owner of the site.
You need to see the site to really appreciate the effort that has gone ito it. Plus the Map Editor is nothing short of brilliant.
Ubisoft has just released information regarding the PC minimum and recommended requirements.

"All the trees and grass are dynamic, simulating the wind. What kind of challenges did that lumber on you as the art director?
Amancio: It was really hard. Even with the dynamic time of day the game has to look good at every time of day, but it needs to look different. If you have a linear level you can just basically tweak an area and then have the perfect area, because you know where the player's coming from.
How much on location research did you do?
Amancio: We went to Africa for a..."
"Ubisoft confirms to TVG that all three versions of Far Cry 2 will ship with a level editor for the multiplayer game...
The level editor for the original Far Cry and Instincts console port was certainly a fan favourite, and now TVG can confirm that a level editor will also ship with Far Cry 2 on all three formats."
It's more than usual that now adays, developers that develop games for the PS3 are finding that it is a complex machine to develop for however, yet another comapny accompanies Activision in saying that whilst they were initially worried about developing for the PS3, the no longer are.
This time, it's the developers of Far Cry 2, namely Ubisoft. Once they began R&D on the PS3, it seemed that the console was made for Far Cry 2, and it's additional features (Harddrive, Blu-Ray drive, and str...
