Some time ago it was announced to Duty 5 to the PC version of call OF: World RK was an open beta phase to give is. This beta phase will give it now also, but unfortunately without Germany. This announced now Publisher Activision officially. The reason for that do not appear in Germany is simply explained, because in the alluding version anticonstitutional symbols are to see in Germany are forbidden.
For remaining Europe the PC beta will probably begin to 16 or 17 October.

Short info.:
In call OF Duty: World RK was it deeply into the south Pacific and to Europe is sent, around against opponents to begin there those not give up and no grace. You as US-marine or as a Russian soldier new features like cooperative Gameplay and new weapons such as flame throwers will experience.

Exclusive PCGamer Article | News | Farcry 2 World

Sunday, September 21, 2008 7:21:50 PM (GMT Daylight Time, UTC+01:00)

 

In the November 08 edition of the Subscribers magazine PCGamer, was a great article, with some interesting news mainly revealing the buddies !!
In addtion to the Buddies, PCGamer voted Far cry 2 a "Wild" 94% quoting its pros were Beautiful, Free roaming and Utterly Absorbing, and its cons were, its not a linear shooter, its not a prescibed story and its not going to let you go !

The basis of Far Cry 2's story telling: Characters and situations are swapped via a software author, its responding to choices made by you the player. Its something that's been on the cards for some time - mostly in research projects - but this is the first high-profile game to use it.
Its nothing less than a revelation. What makes this procedural storytelling cool isn't that you get to play the game lots of times, and see new things happen, or do things in new ways, Its not even that it gives you stories to share, situations to compare with your friends. Its that the game just works and responds to your successes, failures and fuckups.
If you don't like what a guy is asking you to do, then don't do it... If you really like one of your buddies, you stick with him. When the situations force choices on you... By God, its incredible


You can now meet the main 9 buddies for the first time, exclusively to Farcry 2 World

In addition you can preview the entire magazine scans courtesy of PCGamer
