Jackal Hunt begins Thursday! | Forums

[kimi_]

UPDATE 1/13/09: Apologies with the lack of updates, everyone. We are still attempting to contact all the winners, and didn't want to post a listing until that was all sorted out. Everyone who won should have already been contacted. What's really holding it up at this point is we're awaiting responses from winners, so like Ultra said, if you think you've won be sure to check your emails (including spam folder to be safe).



From Eurogamer's description:

Ubisoft and Eurogamer are happy and half-buried in sand to announce that Jackal Hunt, a special Far Cry 2 web-game, is set to launch tomorrow morning.

Presented in association with our good selves, Jackal Hunt is a turn-based multiplayer game and competition in which players have to try and track down a specific player and bump him off before another, unidentified player takes them out instead.

The game will show you the location of your target, but not the person tracking you. Eek! However, you do get to see the person tracking them, allowing you to try and triangulate to some extent. The idea is to set as high a score as possible by killing enemies, collecting pickups and surviving for as long as possible.

If you're good enough to rise to the rank of Jackal and put a score on a leaderboard, you could win one of four gaming PCs, ten XFX graphics cards, a PlayStation 3, an Xbox 360, a Philips amBX ambient gaming peripheral system, or loads of Far Cry 2 merchandise.

Cool thing!
But could you give us a exact launch time? Because "tomorrow morning" is a little bit imprecise -> which timezone and so on...

Being a collaboration with "Eurogamer"... does this automatically mean that US players cannot play?
