For those of you Far Cry players who have completed HL2, and may have
completed Doom3, and are looking for some new challenges. Download the
single player map Assignment41. It's a blast. I can't decide whether
to give the guy who designed this map a medal, or to hunt him down. I
am enjoying it, but the designer is a sadistic sort who understands how
gamers actually play First Person Shooters. Without giving away any
more than necessary, you will often get fragged just short of getting
to Save Points.

You haven't got 'Far Cry'.

You've never played 'Far Cry'.

You don't have a computer powerful enough to run 'Far Cry'.

Just say NO to these "masters of far cry". It is humiliating to have our
IP addresses logged for the FBI to track us down just for downloading a
level. Give us gamers CHOICE!!!!

Now this is a stupid way to design a map for a game without quick saves.
Do you think this is fun to play?

FarCry user/home level builders do seem to produce a lot of entertaining
add-on levels.
....But they all (that I have seen) look the same as the main game
levels...the FarCry
engine doesn't look as though its capable of the sort of variety that e.g
Unreal ...can offer ..
.....no "weather" ....boring sky's....poor interiors...no bunnies been able
to get anything underwater yet ..
Its a fantastic game 'cause its designers understood the limitations...but
if any one
knows a level that looks/feels greatly different please do tell..

Game of the Week. IIRC from a previous thread.

I'm trying to remember what made the HL GOTY edition different from the
original release. I think it was "pre-patched" so that the multi-player
would work out-of-the-box, but was there any addditional content?

In the same way, what would a Far-Cry GOT.. er... Week edition have to
offer over the original? Apart from the kudos of saying "Damn, this
game is good" on the box.

IIRC, the HL GOTY version was pre-patched, which also meant it had Team
Fortress Classic out-of-the-box (part of the patch), and it also had an
updated version of the WorldCraft(?) editor that was newer than the one
that came with the original version of HL.

Google it.

www.google.com

Enter: Assignment41 Far Cry

And you will find lots of other maps in the collections containing
Assignment 41.

For anyone who is actually reading this thread to find out about Far
Cry maps, Assignment41 is not complete. The map ends rather abruptly
without any disk save once you reach the final objective. You can
wander around a bit and amuse yourself, but nothing else of any
interest happens. The author is improving his map, and intends to
release a bundle of 3 maps that are meant to be played together.

FWIW, I played and enjoyed Far Cry, then HL2. In the meantime I played
Doom3. My machine was a bit underpowered. It did a fine job on Far
Cry and HL2. Doom3 was a bit much for it. It was a bit laggy, but
somewhat enjoyable. I must admit that I switched to HL2 as soon as it
was released.

I have recently upgraded to Athlon64 3200+ and 6600GT. I have to
expect that my new machine will be able to do a respectable job with
Doom3. I did consider Steam to be a bit of a drag. IMO I think it's
stupid to have to have a CD in the drive everytime I play, or to have
to revalidate my license on the Internet. I will reserve my real
dislike of licensing models for Microsoft Windows XP. I shuffled my
hardware so that my kids will get my Athlon 2100+ with GeForce2 and I
would install my old C: drive in the Athlon64 machine. What a pain the
whole process was with license revalidations etc.

It's kind of sad that a world full of fantastic hardware and software
developers can't come up with better schemes for licensing and
protection against piracy.

I have to say that I have enjoyed all of these games enormously,
despite B/S copy protection schemes. I must say that I find the AI in
Far Cry to be the best I have played against.
