Farcry 2 is the better game, no doubt. Well balanced, excellent believable physics, ingame-characters telling the story instead of cut-scenes. Immersiveness is the theme here. Does a better job than Crysis. People will approve, I'm sure..

One thing I'm wondering if there are idle animations (for when the player does nothing)? This worked for Halflife.

Idle animations can be entertaining, but I hate it when you're near enemies waiting for one to pop out from his hiding spot and then your character lifts his weapon to pointlessly run his hand over the top of it. Obviously this wouldn't happen when you are aiming down the sights though, so I guess it would be acceptable when your gun is just at your hip.

Farcry 2 seems to be going all out for immersive animations, so I daresay we won't be disappointed on the animation front.

It would be cool if the character just pulls back the bolt and checks the chamber, and maybe wipe off the optics.

And: I may have said it before, but I would really love to have a 'maintinance' animation. The char field strips the rifle, wipes down the bolt and chamber. Even if it didn't do anthing...

but it would be pretty annoying if you got attacked while your gun is in pieces. if you did it then it'd be your fault but if it happened by itself then it wouldn't be fair

All the above is yet to be proved. Don't get me wrong, I also hope it will be, but its hard to say that its better than something until you've got your hands on it and played it.

From the limited media available, it looks promising, but the same could be said for Crysis before it came out.

As for idle animations, I'd like to see some ingame, but I wouldnt want them too often in a game (ie: they start within 10 seconds of doing nothing) as you'll just start to get bored with them.

if your finding yourself ''idle'' in this game, there is something wrong with you.
