Far Cry 2

The government in an unnamed African country has collapsed and civil war has erupted between two factions: UFLL (United Front for Liberation and Labour) and APR (Alliance for Popular Resistance). The player is sent to find and eliminate "The Jackal", a person responsible for modern weapons shipments, who has also infected the player with malaria.

The game puts the player in a 50 square kilometers area where they must survive, gather resources, and kill "The Jackal". To achieve this, the player needs to complete missions, such as escorting a weapons shipment or killing high-ranking officials, which grant reputation points and access to better gear. The world can be freely explored, but certain enemies or locations may only become relevant when specific quests are triggered.

The player must manage their health, as malaria will continue to affect them throughout the game. They can find and collect resources, such as weapons, vehicles, and medical supplies, which help in surviving the disease. The player can also form alliances with other mercenaries who will aid them in completing missions.

The game features a multiplayer mode for up to 16 players in various modes, including Deathmatch, Team-Deathmatch, Capture the Diamond, and Insurgence. Each mode uses a class-based system with six classes, each with unique weapon load-outs.
