Ubisoft's planned release of Far Cry 2 this October will include giving the first person shooter non-sequel some multiplayer modes in addition to its open world single player gameplay. GameSpot is the first media outlet to have some hands-on time with these four modes.
Two of them are classic Deathmatch and Team deathmatch while the Capture the Diamond mode is basically CTF with, um, a briefcase full of diamonds instead of a flag. The fina mode, Uprising, is a bit like a Conquest style mode in that your team must be first to capture three points on the map. It then switches to a VIP like mode where the team must kill the opposing team's captain. Vehicles will be a part of at least some of Far Cry 2's 14 multiplayer maps and there's also a reward system that unlocks new weapons and items for each of the game's six classes. And let's not forget that the game will ship with a level editor for folks who want to make their own multiplayer maps.

I'll definitely check it out because I'm a sucker for Stalker-esque(or rather Boiling Point-esque) open world shooters.Posted at 11:44AM on Sep 20th 2008 by Jakka(A tribute to whose who fought and failed during the Epic Flamewar of L.A. Noir)



I'll probably be on Left 4 Dead but this still looks pretty sweet.
If they add in Steam integration even for retail releases it'll make my day.Posted at 10:28AM on Sep 20th 2008 by Haggard (Free Mr.ESC!)
