One man from the development team said in an interview that he worked by himself for a year, studying wildfires and developing the fire system in the game. Impressive hard work that certainly payed off.

I miss the fires in this game they were amazing

[@conroygreyfin7011]

I always used the fire to cover my exit in this game. I'd always find the grassiest exit, complete the mission and then torch everything behind me. Worked like a charm. Far cry 6's fire is so much better than all the others. But this game was lit.

Best Far Cry no doubt, you’re not there to save some land or free any people from a dictator. You’re a merc out for himself taking the side of whoever pays in diamonds. I love the buddy system, healing animations, map, gunplay, destructibility, and FIRE. Most immersive out of all of them. Weapons are well balanced I was always switching loadouts depending on what I was doing. Buddy’s feel a part of the world as they offer alternatives to missions with their own motives. Hand held map just makes sense sucks it hasn’t had a comeback.

[@ViktorGartner]

Far Cry 2 was hard and time consuming but god damn did I enjoy it. Played so much of it... 2 and 3 are my favourites

[@Icemeister10]

This was the first game I ever played where I felt that I was living in a functioning world. Nothing beat the feeling of infiltrating an enemy camp by moving carefully over much terrain ❤️ Always knew this game was underrated, so glad to see it get the recognition it deserves.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

I remember when this came out and I couldn't wait to play it on my new, modern-day-potato, "gaming laptop". I insisted on running most settings on very high to justify my shiny new toy. Even though I was pushing like 20-40fps max, I still loved this game (and wasn't used to much better anyway in terms of performance). I thought the graphics were AMAZING at the time. It was the first open world style FPS I'd ever played. Loved the freedom to just drive around and cause havoc.

[@escalator9734]

same, I had a shit desktop pc, played it a 20fps because I was a kid and thought "films are at 24 fps so it's good enough", marveling at the slideshow of good looking graphics, sniping with a dart gun and a stealth suit iirc, being annoyed at the obligatory car shoot out every 500 meters and of course watch the world burn, literally. Good times

[@dylangrigsby3904]

Everyone busts a nut over the 3rd one. Sure it was a blast to play, but it didn't make sense to me. Your character is just a normal guy who was on vacation and got kidnapped. Then with the snap of a finger you're suddenly a one man army, Rambo, Terminator type of badass. Like, what? In the 2nd one, your character actually has a bit of a background, but you're still out gunned, out matched, way out of your element and the game never lets you forget it. Man, I miss playing this game. Such a fun and brutal challenge

[@nateswan9527]

I've been playing all of the far cry games recently and I still find 3rd to be one of the better ones. I don't think you change with the snap of the finger, you progress, get better gear, better weapons, perks and the bloodlust develops slowly too. But I get what you mean about far cry 2, I thought it was cool that I played a guy who was an agent in the IDF. Far Cry 6 is the worst with this, you are some immigrant from Miami and instantly get everything, all perks, the top 3 weapons, good vehicle, probably the strongest companion, in the first mission, there is no progression.

[@Konstantinsen]

For all this game's faults, it felt way more immersive than FC 3 and 4. Probably because there was no level-up system; tagging was bare-bones; weapon degradation necessitated extra awareness of your own gear; dynamic wildfires made for a viable tactic; and the constantly respawning enemies forced me to trek almost entirely on foot which, although tedious, emphasized a sort of survival mode that actually inspired legit dread because there was no telling if I was actually safe even after clearing out locations. Not everyone likes these elements but I do and it's why I keep coming back to this game.
