One of my favorite things about the FC2 AI is that enemies are generally just terrified of you. They hide, they yell for help, they enter nervous breakdowns when they lose sight of you, with other soldiers trying to tell them to get a grip. It's really immersive sometimes. And it makes you feel like a force to be reckoned with, especially when you start manning an assault and one man yells "Shit, how many are there?" And another yells "It's just one guy!"
same in FC3 which i last played today. the enemy pirates are yelling and shouting insults if they cant find you and in general have a rough voice with one another. that really immerses me on the setting of these pirates who dont have respect for anyone
At the beginning of the game the enemies don't seem scared of you at all it's only when you progress through the game and advance reputation levels that will make the enemies start to fear you and carry better weapons to take you down always loved that detail
You just feel so vulnerable in that game. You never feel really confident when walking into a hostile territory, compared to far cry 5 where I could basically go in with a melee weapon and not be scared.
@@Bugsitogamer yeah, that's not the new model. They are all now going to be designed as a grind (just like Assassin's Creed and the Division series) so they can sell you microtransactions. Ubisoft doesn't make games any more they make $60 microtransaction delivery systems.
@@nateee2970 it is an outlier in the series, there are NO other far cry games that are like FC2 it is the oddball. Far cry OG was a lighthearted romp on a tropical island, so was 3. the newer titles have different settings but feel lighthearted in nature, 2 was too serious for it's own boots
Are you sure? Because last time i checked, even on the driest seasons, there's still rainfall. And it never even gets cloudy in Montana? Unless you're talking about a Montana from another planet..
I'm not some delusional fanboy, but FC2 is my favorite installment in the series. It was such a leap forward for an open world shooter and, visually speaking, rivaled even Crysis--Being that the "Dunia" engine was just a modified ver. of the original Cry-Engine, it was an exceptionally impressive feat that probably had Cry-Tek second guessing themselves after selling ALL RIGHTS to Ubisoft when moving on to Cry-E 2. I will forever hold this up as an interactive 3D digital arts masterpiece--flaws and all. FC2 made me feel something that I haven't felt since and probably won't until real-time 3D is interactive at a molecular level w/ no limitations with what you can do in a world so vast that EVERY player's experience is 99% unique. Ya dig?
I like how it actually ran well on hardware of the time, compared to Crysis which ran like a 2 legged dog on just about everything. And even if the effects and textures weren't up to the same level as Crysis, Far Cry 2 was an actual open-world game.
None of the gun sounds are realistic in this case. However the Far Cry 5 one is more cinematic. The entire gun sound is edited with a bass and tail sound added.. Or in other words, completely artificial and unrealistic.
Well, what did you both expected? Fist off all, the weapons' sound volume is obviously lowered so that is equal with the other sound effects in the game. Second off all, it isn't meant to be realistic and the weapon sounds are pretty damn good
No, you can just record gunfire. But you don't find any games where gunfire is recorded and completely unaltered. You do however see some games where they have recorded gunfire in which they then edit the sound. They can easily put regular gun sounds in the game, the thing is that they rather want it sounding dramatic. Same thing goes for punching sounds in games and movies. That it's just not what punches sound like.
Well some game studios actually explained why they do not use raw recorded gun sounds. They sound bland. Thats also the case with movies. Guns in real life sound very flat, most guns sound the same with most of the differences being the loudness. Other than that, gun sounds differ the most depending on the surroundings they are shot in. Imo the best job at gun sounds has to go to Battlefield series. Ever since Battlefied 3, weapons and explosions' echo differ depending on the surroundings. For example, if you fire a weapon in a forest, the echo is very long and deep. However if you shoot a weapon on an open field with a mountain nearby, you won't hear the echo until the sound bounces off the mountain and goes back to you. Same with firing on an open field with a building nearby, you will hear only the echo of the sound bouncing off the building as a sharp and short echo.
@@jco_sfm Well the people that are actually making the game can have a passion for it such as designers developers etc. but for the companies higherups thats true
@@ose4448 Though it all depends on the company. You could have a company like valve that just makes game to introduce ground breaking stuff, or solve a modern problem in gaming. Then there's the companies who put another number on [generic_sports_game] and call it a new game.
Soulja yes some people care but they still do it to make money not trying to say all of them are greedy but without the money most of them would not work as hard
The flames from the flame thrower in 2 seem more realistic as it has the smooth physics of fire. while 5 has bright and too movie like flames. The guns have way more power in 2 and they feel like they're doing damage. While 5 has small pews and the guns seem like nerf guns. And then the physics look better in 2 like previously mentioned fire slowly burning leaves away and also the guns jamming now it was annoying but it showed realism. While 5 hardly shows good physics that hold up to 2. Like the trees animations were horrible when on fire now the fire does look better and may have more realistic movement but the leaves staying on the trees even after being burnt was just disgusting.
At first I didn't like that (having malaria) but it grew on me and I learned to cope with it... ingame that is. Though there is a mods for FC2 called EChondo's Tweaks which removes malaria from the game. Though it sadly it doesn't work with the steam or GOG version of the game.
I think the malaria attacks occurs to often, making it feel like a task to cope with, instead of another way to immerse the player. But I guess that was the point if it, the fact that it could happen anytime so you never feel really safe.
I wanna say I remembered hearing/learning that if you sat on the malaria medication/tried to take it last minute instead of as soon as you felt the first symptoms it was "bad for you" and actually made the pills go more quickly but that may just be some kind of fever dream I once had...
Gregory McGrath I actually bought the season pass for far cry 5 so I’m set, in 20 days far cry 3 will be released on current gen *For those who have season pass* which means we get it a month early. I think there will be only a slight difference once it’s released on current gen, for example resolution, shading etc.
The fact that it's not coming to the PC suggests you're probably right. More stable framerate and resolution, I doubt they even mess with the shader quality.
I know this is an old comment and I don’t know if you’ve played it yet but I’ve played a little bit on Xbox one and first impressions is that the sound quality if awful.
Mostly it is just about a graphic things comparisons. Graphic is good but that is not the soul, the soul of the game is experiencing artificial activities, obstacles of the real life in the game. Farcry 2 brought my emotional feeling to the highest peak of adventure. The sound of african song makes the nuances is more mystical and makes me feel like bloody fragile fighter. The story line, the deep sensations.
If you haven't lived in Africa then you won't have the emotional attachment. Farcry2 is the best and has a spot in my heart that will never be replaced. The sound of the monkeys, the language and accents of the enemies provides a greater level of emersion for someone that has lived in Africa and creates a home away from home. Even the graphics without the sweetfx mod is better because of how it really is in Africa. When the sun is that bright everything looks like that. Excellent game. The best farcry by far. I will still say that I enjoyed farcry5 with its many advancements.
The one thing I never understand is why the sounds of weapons such as the 1911 change so drastically between Far Cry 2, 3, 4, and 5. If it's the same gun, shouldn't it have relatively the same sound?
SCP Gaming Well sound effects are always changing in video games. The sound of the guns in the previous Far Cry games were more cartoony and cool sounding while the gun sounds in Far Cry 5 has the most realistic gun sounds, very close to guns in real life
this is an old problem in almost every fucking FPS : To "look cool" when reloading/firing weapon, games always show left-handed weapon used by right-handed people, like that you can see the lever etc.. It's really annoying for me, and ugely unrealistic. FC5 does it better and I'm happy to see that :) @@N0biwanKenob1
@War Zone sure it can have an ambi safety but afaik having the ejection port on the left would make it lefty by design. Especially in the usual Weaver stance you don't want brass ejecting into your face
"I'm going to directly compare these two games, i I dont like the looks of this one so I modded it" Doesnt that kinda defeat some of the purpose in "Direct comparison"
absolutely. Take the colors in FC3 as an example, all very intense and bright - as a stylistic choice. it is done for a reason and rather than thinking 'they didn't know we wanted everything to look surreal' you could think a little deeper
@@derpizzaman1050 he still does make graphical comparisons for the majority of the video and yes i agree that the gameplay aspects still stand but at the same time it still isnt a direct comparison if you are modding the game.
Great video! Although I prefer FC2's original colour over the SweetFX mod. Personal preference. FC2 was badly underrated. People wanted massive open-world environment, which FC2 delivered. Then people whinged that it was too difficult to get around. There were cars, buses, boats and of course going on foot. They also whinged that it took ages to load between regions. It had fantastic fire effects, great weapons and weapon fatigue, a great storyline and great playability. I'm a big fan of all of the FC games. I love FC5 as much as I loved all the others. FC1 is probably still my favourite. Just about to try New Dawn.
annoying thing about FC2 was enemies respawning, no way to take comntrol of outposts etc. they tried to make the game realistic yet this one aspect failed completely and was enough foe me personally not to play this game ever agian, although I have to admit graphics were really good and the unique feeling of being in Africa is unparralleled.
Finally,even tho yeah maybe some things were better in FC2,FC5 is still an awesome experience that I feel like older fans don't really want to admit because of the nostalgia,and they always praise Far Cry 2 and 3 and again I can see why but they always get hatin on FC5,but maybe that's just how I see it
Yeah. Stuff like malaria management is too meta for FarCry. The original sought to be the closest a game could get to a Rambo simulator. With 2 they decided to theme it as a manhunt, and wanted to give the game a pacing of an expedition or safari to match the fused jungle/desert setting. I think this is why they emphasized hi-octane for 3 onward. Just feels right.
Dude, I gotta say, I found your channel RANDOMLY! However, it is one of the most interesting channels I have ever found lol! Keep it up, love the content. It’s just pure games and I can’t get enough!
Farcry 2 was very impressive for its time, the fire and destruction of things like branches was really unique and well done. The guns sound great and vastly louder than the other game sounds so it was always really immersive to crank that sound up. Also the mortar was awesome in Fc2, there was only a series of notches to adjust your aim distance, no fancy overhead point and click. I remember making a chart to gauge the distance from my spot on the ingame map and my target. I ended up doing an assassination mission from wayyyy far without even seeing the target using my distance chart and map. Good times, I love the whole series
@Finn Peckston I think they did that because they wanted it to look cool, to see the bullets fly past the camera, instead of to the right, off of the camera, but it could be copyright too.
You're likely talking about that bolt-action; it's a European thing, it's supposed to keep the rigger-hand in place... I think the designers of the rifle assumed that there'd be more supported fire, so using the off-hand to cycle the action wouldn't involve much re-aiming.
this is an old problem in almost every fucking FPS : To "look cool" when reloading/firing weapon, games always show left-handed weapon used by right-handed people, like that you can see the lever etc.. It's really annoying for me, and ugely unrealistic. FC5 does it better and I'm happy to see that :)
@@TROOPERfarcry Europeans invented the bolt action, and no bolt action was ever charged using the off-hand. You have no idea what you're on about. The left hand charge is only something done using modern rifles as you weren't working the bolt half the time.
A lot of people disliked the malaria feature of FC2 but I thought it was a neat challenge that you are forced to keep up with, much like hunger or thirst in a survival game. The gun quality feature was also something I enjoyed because it was another immersive challenge that you had to keep up with in order to survive.
Far cry 2 was okay, innovative, but the spreading fire and jamming weapons couldn't compensate for the fact that every check point respawns the most annoying enemies and you're given malaria right off the bat
God how big of a crybaby do you have to be to complain about a checkpoint respawning after you drive 60 feet away? It's not like the automatically detect you. Also, other games give you disease right off the bat. Dying Light has you bitten within the first few minutes. At least Far Cry 2 had the balls to try and make a gameplay mechanic out of it.
I agree. I love Far Cry 2, but it has it's problems. Like he said, the checkpoints are one of the big ones. I don't think an outpost should be completely abandoned for the rest of the game after you clear it, but having all the enemies spawn back in after walking a short distance away is both unrealistic and annoying. And the enemy aggression is also pretty annoying. Is it practical for a small group of enemies to chase you to the ends of the Earth for something as simple as driving through a checkpoint? No. No it's not. And the bullet sponge enemies are a nuisance. I shouldn't have to fill a shirtless guy full of 5-10 rounds from an LMG to kill him... It's not a perfect game, you snobs. Get over it.
1:31 I know this is a 2 year old video but I'm going to point out that is the 45. Star (based on the Star PD I believe). Its has a similar style to the M1911 but it's a totally different gun. Sorry for the nitpick.
I know I'm late with this comment but a small thing I liked about fc2 is that sometimes the AI will speak Afrikaans, which is my home language... I believe it's the only game where my language is used..
I know this is a late comment, but really nothing has gotten that great in 10 years. The only thing that's better is textures. When a game already looks really good, it's hard to top it
A good, balanced comparison. Certainly Far Cry 2 had some impressive features for the time, some of which don't appear in Far Cry 5, but a lot of people seem to have made a big deal over them after certain other comparisons focused on them solely.
I don’t really like far cry 5’s mechanics personally, they are kind of wonky I guess, but it’s up to preference whether you like FC5’s gameplay or 2’s better. One thing is sure though, far cry 2 was definitely a lot more innovative.
I am from Africa and the non sweetex view is more immersive when the summer gets hot here , trust me you only see the collors when you chow some of the desert plants.
And the first game was made by CRYTEK with the CRYENGINE, that's why it was called Far Cry in the first place. Ubisoft took it over/bought it made some changes and called it Dunia.
@@Griv3836, same. Also, the MP5 reload animation in 5 has more impact because instead of pulling the bolt like any normal old gun, your character in 5 does the recommended and cool HK Slap...
Speaking of AI design, in Far Cry 2 when the player where about to hit the enemy with mounted vehicles, AI will react by doing the dodging animation to ovoid the mounted vehicles, from the left hand Far Cry 5 AI's did also reacted and dodge the mounted vehicles but with no animations, the AI just simply move away without the dodging animations.
The only foliage that moves in far cry 5 is the yellow alpine flowers, I wish Ubi would just patch a few environmental reactions to the player to make it feel more authentic.
7:08 they actually did a really good job. Now with the grenades impacting with their environment, but that’s exactly how a grande looks like in real life.
Idk grenades are sort of meant to look like that. They don’t create massive fireballs like I think you were expecting. They mostly just kick up dust n grass or whatever.
GameAttack 089 would you like the sound up close of a gun? The actual sound? Of course games have to lower the volume of a gun firing, you would go deaf.
idk for me farcry 2 does a better job of making me believe im there its more confusing and feels more dangerous as well. little touches like having the map as a item does well to make you feel like your there by removing the pause menu to utilize the map. big fan of stuff like this in games kinda like stalkers pda. or another example would be how you can bring out bag to craft in metro exodus.. its a little thing but it has a decent effect on the players perspective when playing.
All Far Cry 5 needed to have was dynamic weather, I would stay in that world forever. Imagine a thunderstorm and animals running away, finding shelter. Slippery roads, a stealth outpost takedown during a thunderstorm, the game would be so much better.
That would be cool. Imagine the rain interfering with sounds making it more difficult for the cultists to hear you, but also making it difficult for you to hear them or animals. Maybe civilians run in the rain until they can find a building and then they stay there for the remainder of the storm until it disappears. Breath of the Wild did something similar to that degree, where NPC's could be found desperately trying to escape the rain until they can find one of those wooden shelters and they stay in those until the storm ends...
I think the fire propagation in FC2 was a lil more complex. Even the wind could effect where and how fast the fire would spread. I've beat the game a couple times, and have played around in all of them extensively, and the fire in FC2, while maybe not looking the best, worked the best.
@@LEGIONCABALI agree with 2vain4u - The real world doesn't look like a childs coloring book painted with magic markers. It looks better without the goofy sweetfx
Im hoping that soon far cry will go back to africa or some secret island with a unknown tribe. Monntana wasnt fit for far cry in my opinion because in previous far crys it felt very difficult to escape the horrors of what was going on. In 5 you could literally drive out of hope county.
Far Cry 2 is far very underrated game.The Storyline was really awesome.Those who didnct like the story is because there was no cut scenese in the game. The malaria and gun jams were the only yhings that I hate.Otherwise it had one of the best gameplays and an impressive story with an impressive villain like Jackal. The Ending of Far Cry 2 Story is like a mind fuck movie. You just don't realise how Jackal uses you and makes you kill other people,makes you work for UFLl and APR - Some things that the Jackal does.In the end its you who dies It would be great if Ubisoft makes a remaster of Far Cry 2 with a better and bigger Africa,more animals like Elephants and lions,more good side missions,more local people,tribes wondering and cinematic cut scenes whenever you talk with ur buddies or the enemies. No hate for other FC games.I loved Far Cry 3 ,4 and 5 too but Far Cry 2 on those days was a big deal and that's why if Ubisoft remasters it just the way I said,it will be damn good.
Fc2 weapon firing sounds a lot nicer and more intense. They're loud and make it sound like you're actually shelling someone in the face, or shooting someone in general. Fc5 gun shots just arent at that level of intensity.
far cry 2 had the best immersive map. You hold it out in your hand. And instead of hit markers how blood used to show when you shot enemies. Loved those in farcry 2
@@killermoon635 they should remake it but with stronger story line and no respawning outposts. Alter all i really enjoyed the unique african atmosphere and a good doze of realism
The ejection ports on every gun is mirrored for some wild reason. Every gun with a charging handle or bolt except for the two H&K guns, which have their charging handles on the left anyway, have them mirrored too. This weird feature is most prominent with the M1903 sniper with the weird ass left hand bolt cycling.
I don't know if you guys have ever seen this but every single farcry game since farcry 2 has the same weapon sounds if the weapons are similar, proof is that if you check the ak-47 sound file of farcry 4 and the ak-47 sound file of farcry 2 they have the same names and arbitary codes. As for the fifth installment of farcry series the file name is still the same but now the arbitary code has a paragraph which just lowers the volume of the weapon while increasing its intesity.
Personally I think far cry 3 is the best in series It has just the things to keep you interested like the hunting missions,bounty’s and more but over al gets boring when you finish an have nothing else to do
Platinum‘d far cry 3. Was boring for a lil bit until I reset outposts and tried to experiment with weaker more unique weapons and tried to pull off ridiculous takedowns.
One thing I am never gonna forget it about FC2 is that it came out before it's time. I can't believe when I remember it came before 2010, it is just amazing.
Actually FarCry 2s flamethrower fire is better. No doubt and I'll explain why. When you shoot the flamethrower in FarCry 2 the fire physically travels from the weapon in real time. When you strafe with the FarCry 2 flamethrower you can see the flame vortex physically colliding with debris and objects. If you face a wall and shoot the FarCry 2 flamethrower the flames will react to the obstruction and spread out right in front of you. Here is where FarCry 5s flamethrower is cheap and lacking in realism. The flame from the FarCry 5 flamethrower is not a physical entity, It is nothing less then an animation from the first person perspective. Nothing will obstruct the flame visually as it is not actually covering any distance. If you dont understand here is an example. Equipped the flamethrower in FarCry 5 and stand face to a wall and shoot it, what you will see is that the flame doesn't change animation, the visual flame does not disperse and it is not obstructed. The flame animation will be the exactly the same as if you were shoot it across a field. Go to 8:57 and watch when the final flame from the vortex travels in farcry 2, you can see the last flame physically passing through the grass. In farcry 5 it is just an visual animation, no flame sprites are actually traveling in game distance. Ubisoft was obviously lazy with that detail in FarCry 5 which is unfortunate. In FarCry 2 I felt like i was using a flamethrower. In FarCry 5 Im using a phony flamethrower that uses sad visual trick to make an illusion. Sorry Ubisoft bet you though I wouldnt catch that? Cant get your fake flamethrower past me you lazy inbreeds.
well you almost had to use some goggles for this game because 10 mins in i remember it starting to hurt my eyes because of the weird colouring and brightnes/lighting good game for its time tho on the part of design and playability
You missed the feature in FarCry 2 where the RPG's would actually run out of propellant after a certain distance and then just fall. So you could shoot it straight up and it would come back down.
Totally agree with you on the fire bit, was really handy for sniping too, used to love burning a feild to draw enemies in to land mines while I picked them off from a distance with the sniper rifle which had superior range compared to the following far cry games
I agree with everything you've just said asides from bullets penetrating through objects. In FC5 you can Mark enemies and see their position through the obstacles, if you could shoot them at these conditions there would be no point to stick out from cover, on he other hand in FC2 you can't tell the position of enemies so trying to shoot them behind the wall makes a sense.
One thing that REALLY bothers me about the AI in Far Cry 5 is that I frequently get spotted by one guy, I shoot him (with a silenced weapon) before he fires off a shot and before he can shout for help... But all the enemies magically know where I am as if they have a hive mind.
i stoped playing after 3,,This isnt the case just for this franchise there are other titles aswell.And to this day i fell like Call of duty 2 is the best war game ever.And NFSU2 best car game due to engine sounds
These little details are so important in a Far Cry game... Nature is the battlefield in these games and it should react to your actions. I was shocked that the vegetation doesn't react in the slightest to the player's movement and even worse, no reaction to the blast wave of grenades and C4... I actually expected better in 2018. At this point I think Ubisoft skips out on details to save time and money. They know they're gonna sell like crazy anyway..
I can't stand the sound in FC3 to 5: it echoes too much and makes it like you are sitting in an empty drum with somebody shooting guns or driving a car outside. It is frustrating because in FC2 I was always able to tell the enemy vehicle heading and distance. Overall, sound is much more important and satisfying aspect of the game in FC2, making your immersion a lot better.
i also liked the flamethrower better i wouldn't constantly set myself on fire in farcry 2 but in the sequels advancing with a flamethrower has the fire just hit you making me feel like a dumbass every time i used it
Yeah..But No One Can Beat Far Cry 5's Music Like Come On.. Those Tracks On Radio, Background Music Everything Is Just Beautiful.. Check Out We Will Rise Again. It's My All Time Favorite Track..
this seems like comparing apples to oranges, there have been much fewer advances in the last 10 years compared to 1993-2008 which is actually a lot more than 10 year gap anyway. Also the reason a lot of the mechanical details of fc2 were done away with in future installments because they didn't add to the "fun" for most people playing the game
@@hetspook666 sorry if my opinion doesn't agree with yours but i do get it. And i disagree comparing two completely different games with different focuses then comparing two games from the same franchise is a ridiculous way to try to make a point. The evolution of far cry from 2 too 5 has been one of streamlining superfluous crap like getting your gun jammed which does not add to the gameplay style the dev's intend. far cry is not and has never been a hardcore survival game. it is a lighthearted fun shooter
@@MrHozay11 Im compairing the grafic and ai improvement from 20 years till 10 years ago that was a massive improvement, than the next 10 years gives us games like fc5 that look just as fake as 10 years before.
@@hetspook666 welcome to diminishing returns with rasterization. although FC5 really does look leagues beyond FC2 in a purely graphical sense (but then even crysis does that FC2 looked ugly as sin with all the brown). i cannot argue that the AI is pathetic, the best A.I i ever saw was in F.E.A.R and that was from 2005 well before FC2. OG Doom had practically no A.I btw they just shot/ran at you as soon as you saw them, but was and still is a great game. Games which go for technical superiority rarely last the test of time, those which focus on being fun often become classics.
In Far cry 2 the 1911 semi, pump action shotgun and the single action sniper rifle discharging sound made me blink every time they were fired and felt powerful., in short single action pump and semi auto weapons felt powerful an satisfying to shoot. The AK at full auto and the hkmp 5 at full auto in Far cry 2 sounded loopy as in like the sound resets in a sec and plays again which feels unreal. The bullets drop is the only thing that i liked about Farcry 5 rest this game is not even close to the number count of details in Far cry 2.
One of my favorite things about the FC2 AI is that enemies are generally just terrified of you. They hide, they yell for help, they enter nervous breakdowns when they lose sight of you, with other soldiers trying to tell them to get a grip. It's really immersive sometimes.

None of the gun sounds are realistic in this case. However the Far Cry 5 one is more cinematic.
The entire gun sound is edited with a bass and tail sound added.. Or in other words, completely artificial and unrealistic.
Well, what did you both expected? Fist off all, the weapons' sound volume is obviously lowered so that is equal with the other sound effects in the game. Second off all, it isn't meant to be realistic and the weapon sounds are pretty damn good
No, you can just record gunfire. But you don't find any games where gunfire is recorded and completely unaltered.
You do however see some games where they have recorded gunfire in which they then edit the sound.
They can easily put regular gun sounds in the game, the thing is that they rather want it sounding dramatic.
Same thing goes for punching sounds in games and movies. That it's just not what punches sound like.
yeah thank you for stating the obvious
Well some game studios actually explained why they do not use raw recorded gun sounds. They sound bland. Thats also the case with movies. Guns in real life sound very flat, most guns sound the same with most of the differences being the loudness. Other than that, gun sounds differ the most depending on the surroundings they are shot in. Imo the best job at gun sounds has to go to Battlefield series. Ever since Battlefied 3, weapons and explosions' echo differ depending on the surroundings. For example, if you fire a weapon in a forest, the echo is very long and deep. However if you shoot a weapon on an open field with a mountain nearby, you won't hear the echo until the sound bounces off the mountain and goes back to you. Same with firing on an open field with a building nearby, you will hear only the echo of the sound bouncing off the building as a sharp and short echo.
I just love the level of immersion that Far Cry 2 it's able to pull off.

I think FC2 is one of the best, if not THE best of the series. I liked the realism and the malaria.
The flames from the flame thrower in 2 seem more realistic as it has the smooth physics of fire. while 5 has bright and too movie like flames.
The guns have way more power in 2 and they feel like they're doing damage. While 5 has small pews and the guns seem like nerf guns.
And then the physics look better in 2 like previously mentioned fire slowly burning leaves away and also the guns jamming now it was annoying but it showed realism. While 5 hardly shows good physics that hold up to 2. Like the trees animations were horrible when on fire now the fire does look better and may have more realistic movement but the leaves staying on the trees even after being burnt was just disgusting.
At first I didn't like that (having malaria) but it grew on me and I learned to cope with it... ingame that is. Though there is a mods for FC2 called EChondo's Tweaks which removes malaria from the game. Though it sadly it doesn't work with the steam or GOG version of the game.
I think the malaria attacks occurs to often, making it feel like a task to cope with, instead of another way to immerse the player. But I guess that was the point if it, the fact that it could happen anytime so you never feel really safe.
Matthew Hopkins fc3 the best
I wanna say I remembered hearing/learning that if you sat on the malaria medication/tried to take it last minute instead of as soon as you felt the first symptoms it was "bad for you" and actually made the pills go more quickly but that may just be some kind of fever dream I once had...

L3GENDS OF BOSS far cry 3 still holds up really well.
Far cry 1 and far cry 2 could use a facelift
Gregory McGrath I actually bought the season pass for far cry 5 so I’m set, in 20 days far cry 3 will be released on current gen *For those who have season pass* which means we get it a month early. I think there will be only a slight difference once it’s released on current gen, for example resolution, shading etc.
The fact that it's not coming to the PC suggests you're probably right. More stable framerate and resolution, I doubt they even mess with the shader quality.
I know this is an old comment and I don’t know if you’ve played it yet but I’ve played a little bit on Xbox one and first impressions is that the sound quality if awful.
Drachen panzer I agree, it could be better.
Remember the animation when repairing cars? that was cool
Yea why did they remove it
Mostly it is just about a graphic things comparisons. Graphic is good but that is not the soul, the soul of the game is experiencing artificial activities, obstacles of the real life in the game. Farcry 2 brought my emotional feeling to the highest peak of adventure. The sound of african song makes the nuances is more mystical and makes me feel like bloody fragile fighter. The story line, the deep sensations.
Long Nguyen no I dont think so
Lmao I feel like u just used words and have no clue what they meant
@@serendipitousslim1529 xdddd
FC5 has no soul by comparison. It feels inauthentic
If you haven't lived in Africa then you won't have the emotional attachment. Farcry2 is the best and has a spot in my heart that will never be replaced. The sound of the monkeys, the language and accents of the enemies provides a greater level of emersion for someone that has lived in Africa and creates a home away from home. Even the graphics without the sweetfx mod is better because of how it really is in Africa. When the sun is that bright everything looks like that. Excellent game. The best farcry by far. I will still say that I enjoyed farcry5 with its many advancements.
The farcry 5 music in the background is so soothing
Same. It just has that casual, normal, everyday feel. Yet, apparently, some people are saying it's bad? What?

@@thehomiedani927 nobody asked 🤡
the far cry 2 shotgun sound is legendary
The one thing I never understand is why the sounds of weapons such as the 1911 change so drastically between Far Cry 2, 3, 4, and 5. If it's the same gun, shouldn't it have relatively the same sound?
SCP Gaming Well sound effects are always changing in video games. The sound of the guns in the previous Far Cry games were more cartoony and cool sounding while the gun sounds in Far Cry 5 has the most realistic gun sounds, very close to guns in real life
Virtually Hidden those gun sounds are so unrealistic in fc5. It's a muffled generic sound and I promise you fc2 was closer
interestingly enough, the FC2 guns are left handed guns used by a right handed character. FC5 models are right handed weapons with right handed user.
this is an old problem in almost every fucking FPS : To "look cool" when reloading/firing weapon, games always show left-handed weapon used by right-handed people, like that you can see the lever etc..

Great video! Although I prefer FC2's original colour over the SweetFX mod. Personal preference.
FC2 was badly underrated. People wanted massive open-world environment, which FC2 delivered. Then people whinged that it was too difficult to get around. There were cars, buses, boats and of course going on foot. They also whinged that it took ages to load between regions. It had fantastic fire effects, great weapons and weapon fatigue, a great storyline and great playability. I'm a big fan of all of the FC games. I love FC5 as much as I loved all the others. FC1 is probably still my favourite. Just about to try New Dawn.
I like the artstyle of the 2nd game. I play it on ps3 and its colorful on my hd crt. Was also colorful on the lcd.
annoying thing about FC2 was enemies respawning, no way to take comntrol of outposts etc. they tried to make the game realistic yet this one aspect failed completely and was enough foe me personally not to play this game ever agian, although I have to admit graphics were really good and the unique feeling of being in Africa is unparralleled.
I personally think both FC2 and FC5 are amazing games that both have strengths and weaknesses I love both of the games.
Finally,even tho yeah maybe some things were better in FC2,FC5 is still an awesome experience that I feel like older fans don't really want to admit because of the nostalgia,and they always praise Far Cry 2 and 3 and again I can see why but they always get hatin on FC5,but maybe that's just how I see it

Yeah. The enemies are kind of bullet spongy and malaria is a bitch
Yeah. Stuff like malaria management is too meta for FarCry. The original sought to be the closest a game could get to a Rambo simulator. With 2 they decided to theme it as a manhunt, and wanted to give the game a pacing of an expedition or safari to match the fused jungle/desert setting. I think this is why they emphasized hi-octane for 3 onward. Just feels right.

However, it is one of the most interesting channels I have ever found lol!

Farcry 2 was very impressive for its time, the fire and destruction of things like branches was really unique and well done. The guns sound great and vastly louder than the other game sounds so it was always really immersive to crank that sound up. Also the mortar was awesome in Fc2, there was only a series of notches to adjust your aim distance, no fancy overhead point and click. I remember making a chart to gauge the distance from my spot on the ingame map and my target. I ended up doing an assassination mission from wayyyy far without even seeing the target using my distance chart and map. Good times, I love the whole series
I've never noticed before, but the guns from FC2 seem to be for left-handed people, even if the character is right-handed.
yeah I noticed LOL makes the game even more unique
@Finn Peckston I think they did that because they wanted it to look cool, to see the bullets fly past the camera, instead of to the right, off of the camera, but it could be copyright too.
You're likely talking about that bolt-action; it's a European thing, it's supposed to keep the rigger-hand in place... I think the designers of the rifle assumed that there'd be more supported fire, so using the off-hand to cycle the action wouldn't involve much re-aiming.

A lot of people disliked the malaria feature of FC2 but I thought it was a neat challenge that you are forced to keep up with, much like hunger or thirst in a survival game. The gun quality feature was also something I enjoyed because it was another immersive challenge that you had to keep up with in order to survive.
Far cry 2 was okay, innovative, but the spreading fire and jamming weapons couldn't compensate for the fact that every check point respawns the most annoying enemies and you're given malaria right off the bat
God how big of a crybaby do you have to be to complain about a checkpoint respawning after you drive 60 feet away? It's not like the automatically detect you.
Also, other games give you disease right off the bat. Dying Light has you bitten within the first few minutes. At least Far Cry 2 had the balls to try and make a gameplay mechanic out of it.
Yeah what in the world? People upset at games losing fun features rather than gaining them? How dare they.
Also the bullet sponge enemies
heeey Devon just another casual gamer comments.
I agree. I love Far Cry 2, but it has it's problems. Like he said, the checkpoints are one of the big ones. I don't think an outpost should be completely abandoned for the rest of the game after you clear it, but having all the enemies spawn back in after walking a short distance away is both unrealistic and annoying. And the enemy aggression is also pretty annoying. Is it practical for a small group of enemies to chase you to the ends of the Earth for something as simple as driving through a checkpoint? No. No it's not. And the bullet sponge enemies are a nuisance. I shouldn't have to fill a shirtless guy full of 5-10 rounds from an LMG to kill him... It's not a perfect game, you snobs. Get over it.
1:31 I know this is a 2 year old video but I'm going to point out that is the 45. Star (based on the Star PD I believe). Its has a similar style to the M1911 but it's a totally different gun. Sorry for the nitpick.
I know I'm late with this comment but a small thing I liked about fc2 is that sometimes the AI will speak Afrikaans, which is my home language...
I believe it's the only game where my language is used..
It's also in far cry 4
The ai will speak in Hindi/nepali which is my native language
I know this is a late comment, but really nothing has gotten that great in 10 years. The only thing that's better is textures. When a game already looks really good, it's hard to top it
A good, balanced comparison. Certainly Far Cry 2 had some impressive features for the time, some of which don't appear in Far Cry 5, but a lot of people seem to have made a big deal over them after certain other comparisons focused on them solely.
Precisely. Those types of comparisons are hurting newer games because they try to drill up controversy when there isn't any.

All Far Cry 5 needed to have was dynamic weather, I would stay in that world forever. Imagine a thunderstorm and animals running away, finding shelter. Slippery roads, a stealth outpost takedown during a thunderstorm, the game would be so much better.
That would be cool. Imagine the rain interfering with sounds making it more difficult for the cultists to hear you, but also making it difficult for you to hear them or animals. Maybe civilians run in the rain until they can find a building and then they stay there for the remainder of the storm until it disappears. Breath of the Wild did something similar to that degree, where NPC's could be found desperately trying to escape the rain until they can find one of those wooden shelters and they stay in those until the storm ends...

Like your mom
I don't know if you guys have ever seen this but every single farcry game since farcry 2 has the same weapon sounds if the weapons are similar, proof is that if you check the ak-47 sound file of farcry 4 and the ak-47 sound file of farcry 2 they have the same names and arbitary codes.
As for the fifth installment of farcry series the file name is still the same but now the arbitary code has a paragraph which just lowers the volume of the weapon while increasing its intesity.
Personally I think far cry 3 is the best in series
It has just the things to keep you interested like the hunting missions,bounty’s and more but over al gets boring when you finish an have nothing else to do
Dude imagine if u finished everything in a game it will obviously become boring
Platinum‘d far cry 3. Was boring for a lil bit until I reset outposts and tried to experiment with weaker more unique weapons and tried to pull off ridiculous takedowns.

Actually FarCry 2s flamethrower fire is better. No doubt and I'll explain why.
When you shoot the flamethrower in FarCry 2 the fire physically travels from the weapon in real time. When you strafe with the FarCry 2 flamethrower you can see the flame vortex physically colliding with debris and objects. If you face a wall and shoot the FarCry 2 flamethrower the flames will react to the obstruction and spread out right in front of you. Here is where FarCry 5s flamethrower is cheap and lacking in realism. The flame from the FarCry 5 flamethrower is not a physical entity, It is nothing less then an animation from the first person perspective. Nothing will obstruct the flame visually as it is not actually covering any distance. If you dont understand here is an example. Equipped the flamethrower in FarCry 5 and stand face to a wall and shoot it, what you will see is that the flame doesn't change animation, the visual flame does not disperse and it is not obstructed. The flame animation will be the exactly the same as if you were shoot it across a field. Go to 8:57 and watch when the final flame from the vortex travels in farcry 2, you can see the last flame physically passing through the grass. In farcry 5 it is just an visual animation, no flame sprites are actually traveling in game distance.
Ubisoft was obviously lazy with that detail in FarCry 5 which is unfortunate. In FarCry 2 I felt like i was using a flamethrower. In FarCry 5 Im using a phony flamethrower that uses sad visual trick to make an illusion. Sorry Ubisoft bet you though I wouldnt catch that? Cant get your fake flamethrower past me you lazy inbreeds.
Most of these commenters have their nostalgia goggles on
well you almost had to use some goggles for this game because 10 mins in i remember it starting to hurt my eyes because of the weird colouring and brightnes/lighting
good game for its time tho on the part of design and playability
Yeah really they do
You missed the feature in FarCry 2 where the RPG's would actually run out of propellant after a certain distance and then just fall. So you could shoot it straight up and it would come back down.
Is it realistic though?
I use a shotgun all of the time in FC5. If the shotgun sound from 2 was in 5, I'd rethink carrying a shotgun at all.
Totally agree with you on the fire bit, was really handy for sniping too, used to love burning a feild to draw enemies in to land mines while I picked them off from a distance with the sniper rifle which had superior range compared to the following far cry games
the fact that these 2 games can be compared just shows that games are for the developers and not the players anymore
I agree with everything you've just said asides from bullets penetrating through objects. In FC5 you can Mark enemies and see their position through the obstacles, if you could shoot them at these conditions there would be no point to stick out from cover, on he other hand in FC2 you can't tell the position of enemies so trying to shoot them behind the wall makes a sense.
All FC2 really has is detail, and it does REAAAAAALY good with detail. Everything else in the game is just meh.
The storyline of the FC3 is amazing , and now with these remastered graphics , i think i will replay it .
I don't think you've mentioned the fact that the weapons in far cry 2 are all for left handed users
Not even. Those aren't normal guns. Normal guns ALL eject to the right and are generally ambidextrous. These kinds of guns... shouldn't even exist.
One thing that REALLY bothers me about the AI in Far Cry 5 is that I frequently get spotted by one guy, I shoot him (with a silenced weapon) before he fires off a shot and before he can shout for help... But all the enemies magically know where I am as if they have a hive mind.
But that happens in FC2 too, stealth is hard in FC2.
For a game that was supposedly such a big flop FC2 sure gets talked about alot, even 12 years after its release.
There are some bushes on farcry 5 move when walked in to
i stoped playing after 3,,This isnt the case just for this franchise there are other titles aswell.And to this day i fell like Call of duty 2 is the best war game ever.And NFSU2 best car game due to engine sounds
yeah, COD2 had the best multiplayer too. Still played it about 2 years ago
WAW BABY
These little details are so important in a Far Cry game... Nature is the battlefield in these games and it should react to your actions. I was shocked that the vegetation doesn't react in the slightest to the player's movement and even worse, no reaction to the blast wave of grenades and C4...
I actually expected better in 2018. At this point I think Ubisoft skips out on details to save time and money. They know they're gonna sell like crazy anyway..
I can't stand the sound in FC3 to 5: it echoes too much and makes it like you are sitting in an empty drum with somebody shooting guns or driving a car outside. It is frustrating because in FC2 I was always able to tell the enemy vehicle heading and distance. Overall, sound is much more important and satisfying aspect of the game in FC2, making your immersion a lot better.
in 2 the weapons sound... Crunchy, like they are about to break in half at you, mean
in 5 they sound base boosted
I mean, the weapons *are* about to snap in half at any moment lmao
They explode during firefights and the slider flies off
That's the point. In 2 you're using used weapons throughout the game
@@shabushabu5319 pretty much everything you used was at least 30 years old and saw use in 2 armed conflicts
Far Cry 2 has better fires
i also liked the flamethrower better i wouldn't constantly set myself on fire in farcry 2 but in the sequels advancing with a flamethrower has the fire just hit you making me feel like a dumbass every time i used it
it really doesn't lol, I bet you haven't played the games.
How?? Then buy FC2 it will be better for ya
Yeah..But No One Can Beat Far Cry 5's Music Like Come On.. Those Tracks On Radio, Background Music Everything Is Just Beautiful.. Check Out We Will Rise Again. It's My All Time Favorite Track..
4:43 bloom effect is also available in Far Cry 2, but it has to be enabled in the console using this command: gfx_bloom 1
now far cry 2 released 16 years ago!
For 10 years of development fc5 is not good enough, compair doom 1 with fc2 and you see a enormous improvement.
this seems like comparing apples to oranges, there have been much fewer advances in the last 10 years compared to 1993-2008 which is actually a lot more than 10 year gap anyway. Also the reason a lot of the mechanical details of fc2 were done away with in future installments because they didn't add to the "fun" for most people playing the game
@@MrHozay11 if you think this is compairing apples to oranges you don't get it.
@@hetspook666 sorry if my opinion doesn't agree with yours but i do get it. And i disagree comparing two completely different games with different focuses then comparing two games from the same franchise is a ridiculous way to try to make a point. The evolution of far cry from 2 too 5 has been one of streamlining superfluous crap like getting your gun jammed which does not add to the gameplay style the dev's intend. far cry is not and has never been a hardcore survival game. it is a lighthearted fun shooter
@@MrHozay11 Im compairing the grafic and ai improvement from 20 years till 10 years ago that was a massive improvement, than the next 10 years gives us games like fc5 that look just as fake as 10 years before.
@@hetspook666 welcome to diminishing returns with rasterization. although FC5 really does look leagues beyond FC2 in a purely graphical sense (but then even crysis does that FC2 looked ugly as sin with all the brown).
i cannot argue that the AI is pathetic, the best A.I i ever saw was in F.E.A.R and that was from 2005 well before FC2.
OG Doom had practically no A.I btw they just shot/ran at you as soon as you saw them, but was and still is a great game.
Games which go for technical superiority rarely last the test of time, those which focus on being fun often become classics.
You said not aged well :D? is one of the best games (graphic) of this time
Far cry 2 because it has still the ability to get compared with far cry 5...
No it fucking doesn't lmao
In Far cry 2 the 1911 semi, pump action shotgun and the single action sniper rifle discharging sound made me blink every time they were fired and felt powerful., in short single action pump and semi auto weapons felt powerful an satisfying to shoot.
The AK at full auto and the hkmp 5 at full auto in Far cry 2 sounded loopy as in like the sound resets in a sec and plays again which feels unreal.
The bullets drop is the only thing that i liked about Farcry 5 rest this game is not even close to the number count of details in Far cry 2.
