Dont know if UBI plan to produce an official FAQ, but in the meantime, we can log all known info about the game here:
Press release: Far Cry 2 for announced Press release for PS3 and X360 versions
Known Facts: Developed by Ubisoft Montreal UBI TEAM: Producer: Louis-Pierre Pharand Art Director: Alex Amancio Creative Director: Clint Hocking Technical Director: Dominic Guay Community Developer: Kimi Release Date(s) Fall 2008 PC exclusive at initial announcment, PS3 and X360 versions were announced in Jan 2008, release dates TBA Far Cry® 2, the next-generation first-person shooter from Ubisoft, will take you deep into the most beautiful but also most hostile environments in the world: Africa! More than just a visual and technological achievement, Far Cry® 2, the true sequel to the award-winning PC game, will provide you with an unprecedented gaming experience. Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal", a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfil your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses, and neutralise their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force. OPEN WORLD The extensive artistic research combined with the next-gen engine will allow you to explore over 50Km2 of seamlessly rendered African landscape. No game has ever provided such freedom of movement! DUNIA ENGINE The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry® 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montréal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more... REAL-TIME IMMERSION Real-time story telling, systemic auto-healing, minimal in-game interface are just few of the features that will make you feel the tension of being alone against barbarous warlords that threaten thousands of innocent lives. WEAPONS OF CHOICE Choose from a wide range of weapons to make your way to your primary target. Meet the fight head-on with your machine-gun, go berserk with your machete or make stealth kills as a Sniper. If you feel that the atmosphere is not warm enough, light up your flamethrower and let your enemies and everything around them feel the heat. VEHICLES Fly, Drive, Run, slide and hover over the huge open world with your glider, trucks, cars, boats and much more. Engine: Dunia Over 50 square kilometers Full free roaming, with non-linear missions Destructable Environs There is a day and night system. There is a dynamic weather system that adapts to how well you are currently doing. If you're shooting everything in site, and well too, the skies will be clear and sunny, but if you start getting owned, the sky will darken and become overcast. Weapons can take damage and begin to malfunction and wear out. It's up to the player to take care of his weapons and keep them in top condition for the journey. Running into a tree can cause it to break and fall down, just shake, or the player to crash to the floor, all depending on the size of the tree. Advanced and adaptive AI with +55 heads and infinate skin shading possibilities. AI has morale settings, the moral of the NPCs is a function of what is happening around them, shoot their commander and their moral gets worse, shot the man next to them and it becomes even lower. No Medi packs: COD2 style health up to Critical wounding, then you have to heal yourself. No Trigens or mad scientist.

New details added from the UBI teaser sites meta data. Link to JC maybe historic, I guess time will tell...

I'm very sure that the Engine will be a heavily modified CryEngine 1. Take a look a Far Cry Instincts Predator made for the Xbox 360, that's the first glimpse of a seven month graphic development and it looks amazing but rushed. We all can expect a two year and a month Engine modification by where Predator left off.
Ubisoft is known for modifying Unreal Engine for their Tom Clancy titles such as Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six but by expecting a mix-in of CryEngine 1 and Unreal Engine 2, then we would see one nice looking game. It probably won't be as perfect as Crysis, but we'll have to wait and see.  |

I think there is two schools of thought here... One is that its somehow going to be comparable to the console games and run similiar... the other which I believe and pray to god comes true is that the game will be heavily based on the real cryengine that FC for PC ran on.. there has been alot of talk about this being more of a console freindly game like rainbow6 or graw but if that was true I would ask why not announce console versions concurrently? I think this will eventually hit the consoles but in a PC to console port not a PC/Console friendly development. But wtf do I know lol..

Hum, since 2002 Ubi's been working with unreal tech : U2 & 2.5 for the 4 first Splinter Cell, XIII, licences for Red Storm (Rainbow Six), Gearbox (Brothers in Arms)... Unreal Enigne 3 for R6 Vegas. But also on its own technology for Rayman, King Kong, and Prince of Persia Series. Most important they bought FarCry universe and CryTech Engine 1 to Crytek. Thus I think that this new one (and Haze too) are based on an evolved version of CryEngine 1.
When you licence Unreal Engine, you licence for the graphics, the physics, the netcore, the multi-plateform support. Why the hell would they try to combine some U3 with CryEngine ? In addition, CryEngine runs well on X360. U think Unreal 3 is not so easy to program and Ubi needs "Next Generation games" that's why, I think, they gave "Dark Messiah" and a Source Engine Licence to Arkane and published "Call of Juarez" which uses the lastes version of sometimes very nice Chrome Engine. Upcoming titles from Ubi with Unreal 3 would be the next Splinter Cell, the next Brothers in Arms... |

Updated based on latest media releases.
Take a famous quote from Southpark. Remove Kenny. Insert Jack.  Its not too late Kimi, do the right thing  My first impressions are that the SP game sounds like a realistic version of Stalker, should be interesting... No mention of MP that Ive seen yet. |

A couple more things
* There is a day and night system. * There is a dynamic weather system that adapts to how well you are currently doing. If you're shooting everything in site, and well too, the skies will be clear and sunny, but if you start getting owned, the sky will darken and become overcast. * Weapons can take damage and begin to malfunction and wear out. It's up to the player to take care of his weapons and keep them in top condition for the journey. * Running into a tree can cause it to break and fall down, just shake, or the player to crash to the floor, all depending on the size of the tree. - FarCry2Forums.com Far Cry 2 Forums, Videos, Screens, and Updates! |

There are no Trigens because the story line is totally different. Its like Die hard the movie or w/e John Mclain doesnt pwn up on the same exact villian or the same exact city each time |

EDIT: But now that Ive read the full article of PowerPlay I can say that if we have at least the beasts (tigers, etc.) this game is going to great. Warlord is a madman with a mad idea of thinking like a madman that has a good reason to be mad. But I also have a very tiny add idea for the game: "Spears" So you can hunt them with it, throw or strike. That would be awesome to put a spear through a soldier and see him falling down, or attack some village at night with it :P. Im sure you can do it if you can do 50km of free-roaming. And if you want to make it as you said, realistic, you will have to add ironsights for sure.
You should add these weapons to the confirmed ones: Hunting Rifle (it sure looks like one.) M249 RPG-7 Vehicles: Bobcat car? Jeep This message has been edited. Last edited by: Jack-Myers, |

EDIT: Just saw your edit to the post above... You soon changed your tune
You make the story, its your choice how you play the game. It isnt a linear tale, your interactions with the surrounding world tells your own tale...
Glad to hear it, hope you havent killed anyone with anything tbh... While I'm sure I could turn a compass into a lethal weapon I will create a whole new catagory "Equipment" just for you...
For the love of all thats Far Cry please tell me you realise that is a joke....? The moral is based on what happens to them in game, kill their commander and their moral suffers, shot the guy next to them and it gets worse...
If you had seen the interview that this info is ripped from you would see that Ubi made a clear distinction between Realism and Realistic... They are two very different things in their eyes. Hope that helps |

Yeah I can be angry and soon I can be happy, sometimes I dont even know am I angry or happy, lol (just kidding.). But I didnt notice the beasts (tigers, etc.) that would be in the game.
 "For the love of all thats Far Cry please tell me you realise that is a joke....? " Yeah I was being sarcastic and an a-hole
