I just got Far Cry for PC a few days ago off Steam! And its amazing, I still like the Instincts series better, but the story is really more open and the Assault mode is quite addicting, but the map editor is not easy to use like the console versions. The only real problem I have is that I surpass the requirements to play but it still runs a little slow sometimes in a very lush area(most online maps), I assume this is becasue of Vista though, but its still great!

The map editor is harder to use but it is much more powerful. To find tons of free online and single player maps, go to www.farcry-maps.com and register.
When ou play online, you might want to lower the resolution you play at to boost your fps.

Can't beat the price of FC on Steam either.
I hope it spawns more interest, cuz FC2 is a way off.

Any maps you recommend for download? Single-or multi?

For MP: Unofficial Map Packs #1, #2, and #3, Springcreature map packs, Slugworth Map Packs, EU Map Packs, American Map Pack, Australian Map Pack, Crytek Map Pack, Urban Map Packs, SlimFast's map pack, etc.

For SP: Single Player Map Pack, Skripts Catalyst Aftermath Map Pack, anything by Gary, or Sniper.

That should get you started, anyways.

Thanks!
