    Far Cry 2

    Needs a thread.    It should be nice to shoot up Africa again.  Who's in?

    I think you'll be fine, but I'd buy more RAM anyway.

    I can't fit anymore on this mobo but at least it's dual channel.

    Dump them and buy higher capacity sticks. :)   RAM is dirt cheap.

    Oh I know, my MOBO only supports 2 GBS.


    I need a new one anyways as my PCIe slot is throttled down to 8X which means it won't support an 8800GT for example.

    OMG I'm digging this game so far, my girl bought it for me which is amazing as she hates it when I game!

    It runs OK on my home machine but runs great on my work machine. Now I'll never get anything done.

    Are you going to get it Hyper?

    It's really good so far, I've not had much chance to play but it has a good flavor, makes me feel like I'm in an African war zone. Even the damned trees blow in the wind. It gets my adrenalin flowing for sure.

    Looks great so far.  I wish they had a co-op MP.

    Re: Far Cry 2

    I will finally get to play this this week. I ALMOST pre-ordered it... But everyone said not to because they had no faith (plus i already pre-ordered  2 $70 games this month, I don't think i could afford 3 games).  I rented it from gamefly, and it should be here tomorrow.  I am excited to try it out (I was hooked when i read a preview back in july or something), But i am trying to keep it down, So that i won't be disappointed in case it doesn't live up to the hype for me :lol:

    Part of me wants to pick this up tomorrow, but the other part says "get your car fixed first".  :angel3:

    Go to Best Buy. I can play it at work, but not at home. Time to upgrade.

    Best Buy is a hell of a walk.
