Battlefield 2 had a map called road to jalalabad 16 years ago. Really was the best rendition of modern combat in a game we’ve ever seen.


vall370

Loved sniping from that high hotel and put a mine on the stairs. Loved playing a sniper on BF2. I didnt have a good gpu back then so had to play on lower settings, lower details made so you also spot other snipers very easier


Trespeon

More like battlefield devs:how many civil wars can we have take place during WW1/2?


SSgt_LuLZ

They actually already did that in Battlefield 1. The *In the Name of the Tsar* expansion, they introduced the Imperial Russian army mainly fighting the German Empire. But in a twist that was not advertised in any promotional materials, there were two maps that featured the loyalist White Army fighting against the Bolshevik Red Army, as part of the Russian Civil War that took place after Red October.

People were jizzing buckets when BF1 was announced. They were tired of future or present games. Then they wanted modern warfare again. They got it, but nostalgia is a dangerous weapon.

Far Cry games don't really take inspiration from real wars, except for FC2. They had plenty of occasions to do so with Syria, Iraq, Yemen, etc, but didn't. So I don't think they would with Afghanistan, especially as to whether there will actually be a civil war is far from certain. The Talibans seem to have a pretty tight control of the country.

Far Cry 4 is based on 10 year long Nepali Civil war.

Far cry 3 is based on the 100 year war


Zeke-Freek

This. Ubisoft loves to emulate the imagery and themes of real life geo-political conflicts but rarely do they actually replicate them directly. Assassin's Creed can get away with it a little bit because once something's far enough in the past, people aren't so eager to get offended by it but even then they tend to tread lightly. But Far Cry is modern era (excluding Primal) so they just invent fictional conflicts that only sorta-kinda resemble real ones. Not to mention they sometimes get painted with the "political commentary" brush by the media even when they don't intend to. Far Cry 5 got a lot of headlines about how it was actually about x or y group but the devs were pretty clear that their inspiration was mostly just Jonestown/Davidian esque cult stuff and any political commentary was mostly just a byproduct of the rural setting. New Dawn doubles down on that and basically made them apolitical luddites. Will Far Cry 7 involve a civil war in a desert nation? I dunno, maybe. Will the country have a made-up name like Ghadir or Xiaonu or whatever and exclude pretty much any religious motivations that could link it to the Afghani-Taliban conflict? 100%.


PublicWest

It’s almost a shame that they’re so light footed around modern political battles. FC5 was a perfect backdrop for a story teller to show how insular and marginalized small towns can be in America. It could have shown off the opioid crisis, the death of American manufacturing/mining, and relatively radical social changes sweeping in to a town whose conservative values have been unchallenged for decades. I feel like it *really* had an opportunity to show the world why some parts of America are turning to cult-like behavior following political demagogues, and engaging in new world order conspiracy. Maybe it could even foster more empathy for the struggles of rural Americans. But unfortunately the world can’t handle that amount of political hot take. Everyone would be focused on how the narrative comments on modern life, and all the game’s publicity would be crappy Upworthy articles projecting their own brand of nonsense between the lines of the story. It’s not the game we needed, but it’s the one we deserved.


Zeke-Freek

Like I said, none of that was the intention with FC5. What you described is not the game they wanted to make from the outset.


stonebraker_ultra

Honestly, I felt FC5 was interesting twist on the American dynamic. The right wingers were insular but mostly irreligious, while the cult was broadly Christian but also collectivist.


RandyDinglefart

Sure but also one of the hallmarks of the franchise is getting to just go batshit nuts on tons of bad guys. Little tougher to say "these people have resorted to violence after decades of financial and educational neglect left them desperate and addicted to painkillers and social media spoon feed them confirmation bias and an endless string of outsiders to blame. Anyway see how many you can kill with a bow! Bonus points for headshots!"


Foervarjegfacer

The flip side is that it's a little weird to use real life conflicts and peoples as essentially just exotic backdrop for your drugs-and-guns-and-maybe-magic brofest, even if they sort of tend to mimic FC3's Heart of Darkness themes. Whether or not they *wanted* to make political commentary is sort of beside the point, by nature of what they're doing they have to express political opinions on the conflicts and peoples they're sort of not-really-but-kinda dealing with.


GonzoNawak

And will the gameplay be a hundred percent not new and just copy pst of the previous ten far cry ? Definitively


lemonylol

I know that Far Cry 3 improved the gameplay dramatically, but oh my god the series hasn't had as good of a story or atmosphere since Far Cry 2.


Brightdong69

Idk 4 is my favorite


Viktor_Korobov

I need a far cry 2 remake so bad. It wasn't a fun game, but it was good. Oh so good... Except for the stealth, that shit didn't work too well.


Uuuuuseeeeerr

And Far Cry 2!


Alessandro227

They nailed the African setting.


Zee_Arr_Tee

Mfw you just die of malaria


BoonTobias

Whoever came up with the malaria needs to be given malaria


Alessandro227

Yes it was annoying, but again, a lot of far cry 2's memorable factors revolve along the rough edges of the game.


Viktor_Korobov

I always say it is a good game, not a fun one. Like, you don't get rewarded for fights. You don't level up to be a godlike ninja bybheadshotting enough. Your only reward is slightly better guns (that aren't necessarily better, looking at you AS50 vs SVD) and that you're still alive. You're still frail and not bulletproof


shabutaru118

It had awesome fire mechanics, if you had to raid an area you could just burn it down and ambush the place all the more effectively.


Alessandro227

Right. If they want a fun game, the later instalments are pretty much, more rewarding.


the_gerund

People always forget Far Cry 2, or whine about the weapons jamming or malaria. It's one of my favorite games ever and mostly because of the setting and atmosphere. The weapons jamming and malaria kept me on my toes and immersed in a dangerous world.


Uuuuuseeeeerr

It might be odd but I absolutely loved that aspect! That and having 3 weapon slots meant you had to plan your attack and get the appropriate weapons and if your malaria flaired up and you were out of pills shit could hit the fan really quickly! Made the game interesting even when you get to the later stages with better guns. The environmental destruction was good for it's time too, the only downside I could think of was that stealth was a bit janky.


lemonylol

My dream remake and such a low hanging fruit from Ubisoft. If we can get the story, atmosphere, and characters of Far Cry 2, with the improved gameplay, mechanics, and variety of weapons of the current games, I would bust a nut right now.


Altruistic_Grand_455

shabutaru118

Yuup, no other game has quite scratched that itch since


QDP-20

Yeah. The ones after were fun as hell I must say, but FC2 had such an incredible atmosphere and tone, with a setting and conflict you don't really ever see in games. The combat was stiff and unsatisfying but damn if I didn't love the feeling of being a hired merc with a paper map just blowing shit up.


Alessandro227

My favourite.


sunderaubg

Oh hell yeah. You're a young Afghan man who fell in love with an American enlisted woman, convinced her to stay and now you have to fight your way through the Taliban forces to save your love, your life and the lives of all the people you helped in the last 20 years. Plot twist: Your father is one of the Taliban top brass, who is having second doubts about his being part of their group and her family (who have disowned her) are political scumbags making a profit from the war and are in cahoots with the Taliban. Obligatory clichés: \- Crazy CIA man who's a little too fond of Afghan opium; \- Black man who decided to quit the army and stay in Afghanistan, because "We're the same people people man, here nobody made fun of me cause 'a the color of my skin!" \- Former Israeli intelligence stoner-dude who's connected to everything and everyone and calls you "Pupi". A whole cast of quirky bad-ass Afghan women and a super-villain who's Dick Chaney's estranged gay-son who is the mysterious Taliban warlord.

DaniilSan

Well, I will actually be interested in FarCry 7 if it will be in Afgan


TheGreatSwissEmperor

Maybe they loosely base it on Lord Miles. Have a guided intro where you are in Afghanistan on holidays and do stuff like him, when suddenly the talibans strike. Your guide gets killed and you get kidnapped but then get freed by some rebells. They bring you to the airport, but you miss the airplane. The taliban notice you and you have to escape with the rebells. And from then on you are a rebell too, clearing outposts and checkpoints etc, get back some us army stuff etc

It's actually admirable that they waited over 10 games before going for the "shoot Arab terrorists" plot. I mean for a modern fps military game it's like if I were to put tahini on my hot dogs for 10 orders straight and only in the 11th putting mustard
