Far Cry 2 multiplayer is ‘by the numbers’

IGN had their reporters Alex Simmons and Martin Robinson sit down to have a go at multiplayer and while they do emphasize that Far Cry 2 MP has some nice distinguishing features their overall conclusion is unmistakable:

“Unfortunately the main shooting mechanics of Far Cry 2 don’t stand up to the opposition, it’s not as fast or precise, and that’s quite obvious in multiplayer. It’s not as solid a shooter as either Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4, and I’m not sure if it does enough different to oust either of those games from the top spot.”

“That’s what I was saying earlier – it does what it does well, but it’s nothing outstanding.”

There are feature that are much appreciated by IGN as well like the vehicles, reviving, self healing to name a few.

However at the end of the day according to IGN Far Cry 2 is mainly a singleplayer experience and with some spare time an hour or two on multiplayer should not be a waiste of time:
” Far Cry will always be a single-player game to me – that’s why I’m excited about playing through Far Cry 2, to explore the open world and have an experience that’ll be different from anyone else’s. And while I don’t think the multiplayer has to same edge as Call of Duty, I do think it’s an entertaining way to spend a few hours. I’ll definitely give it a go when the final game comes out.”
