This has been raised many times without an answer. Personally I think you'd have to be the greatest optimist to believe there will be a re-make of FC2.
But if there was we could have -
- Trains we could board that run on those old tracks
- Longer and random spawning at outposts
- A motorcycle we could ride and shoot from
- Having to eat and drink to maintain health
- The game not being a clone or even likeness of FC3/4
@wassupwiyou, Not a remake, remastered.
Remastered? What, you mean exactly the same game on steroids? One or two things need fixing/tweeking first.
@wassupwiyou that's what I mean, work out all the bugs, but still the same game.
Far Cry 2 I believe was the last Ubisoft game which had dedicated servers and hosting options, just for that reason alone I would like to see Far Cry 2 remastered and released on PS4 and XB1.
It would have better visuals than before and should be on a par with the PC game I would hope, also the map editor should allow way more items to be placed than we had on the limited Xbox 360 and PS3 versions so that would breathe new life to the game as far as how far people could push the detail in their maps as before we were always restricted.
One thing which Far Cry 4 brought in was modifiers, these were such an excellent addition to the editor but there needed to be more really - If these could somehow be added to Far Cry 2 then that would be brilliant.
The vehicles worked really well in single player but in MP modes which are generally faster with more chaos we could do with reckless driving so the vehicles didn't damage when crashing into things, or at least a slider to add more durability.
One modifier that would have made the MP a lot more fun would have been the option to increase the vehicle and player speed a little, swimming underwater was very difficult to see and I believe there was often a bug where you could drown really fast so a modifier for infinite oxygen when under water maybe.
The weapon degredation was superb, I would like the option to turn this on or off on weapons in multiplayer maps bade by us and would also love the option to set the start weapons in a map and have weapon placement which would over rule players selecting what class they want, this would save with the map as default so no way of changing it - basically the maps would play how the author intended them to play.
Those 3 new weapons and 2 new vehicles which came as DLC with the new maps would be available with the game and the Multiplayer Mode Called Uprising must allow the Captain to be selectable from the Lobby - on consoles it was selected at random and most people joining didn't have a clue what they were supposed to do - This was meant to be patched in after launch, unsure if PC got the fix but Consoles didn't get it.
Maximum 6 vehicles in any one MP user created map was not good enough they needed to increase that.
So yeah I would love to see FC2 released on PS4 / XB1 with the visuals and extras in the editor which the PC had back then.
Far Cry 2 also had the snap tool in the editor and had way more explosives and destructable objects, its natural objects such as trees / plants etc was much better and it had the time of day changing as the map time passed so maps that were voted to extend could start off in daylight and finish at night.
I had a lot of issues getting kicked from matches so once a map starts there should be no voting except maybe one option to extend match time if its a close game but kicking players should be done in the lobby.
There were also bugs in the game especially with those Jackal Tapes so those should be fixed.
Someone did sweet mods with Far Cry 2 adding in some crazy stuff I would like to see those brought into any remastered game also.
I would buy it again if it was done right. Best FC game ever MP wise. THere were lots of problems with it in general, but if it was updated with FC4 style systems and map editor but kept the existing MP hosting options.
Also changes the controls to the FC3/4 style they were much easier to handle than FC2.
Updated lighting, updated collections (realtree software for the grass and trees)
I recently contacted Ubisoft support and asked if there were any plans on remastering Far Cry 2 and told me there wasn't but he'll forward my support ticket to the higher ups in hopes it will catch the attention of Ubisoft.
He then suggested I post in the forums and hopefully it will gain attention!
Don't give up hope! We just have to keep asking Ubisoft to throw us a bone and remake the game :D
