I like most of what I've read about it though I'm not sure the weather changing according to how successfully you're engaging the enemy will be good. Seems to me if they're going to have day/night cycles they ought to try and randomize weather effects so it's different every time you play it.

I don't see that making the weather turn bad when you're being overwhelmed is necessary for effect or warning. If they're going to have the enemy morale affected by your success all they need do is the reverse of that when you're not so successful.

Making the weather turn bad at such times adds a very unnecessary and unrealistic voodoo superstition type feel that I just think is out of place in a Far Cry game.

I mean entire FarCry was all about that, it was realistic, but it did great job going beyond realism with monsters, which was great mix of pretty realistic combat with unrealistic monsters, you don't see this happening in many games lately.

Far Cry 2 seems to evolve along the path of the feeling of grand exploration as well as the choice in regards to combat tactics and strategies that Far Cry started. It's a selective sequel in that it allegedly aims to preserve some of the strengths while eliminating the weaknesses (like the trigens), and that certainly sounds good to me. I enjoyed Far Cry when it was about traversing large, unknown environments while devising strategies to overcome the opposition.

The game was immediately broken when the trigens entered. Suddenly you had these two incompatible gameplay types layered on top of one another, and that just didn't work. You had mercs which required the same tactical approach that had been the rule since the beginning of the game (albeit now with more armor), but now you were also faced with a fast and very deadly enemy that required a different strategy altogether. It didn't mesh, at all. So the removal of that **** is good news to me. I'd rather have the developer focus on making the human enemies more interesting to play than go the cheap route and introduce monster primates.
