There’s a camp down the road with a pipeline that needs to be destroyed. I wanted to see what the story was all about so after Frank gives me a call on the cell phone you have, I went to the shack and talked more in depth with Frank.įrank needs some help taking on the Jackal’s men. You can totally go off at this point to wherever you please, following the dirt road or just running through the trees and open fields. Right behind where we started was this little shack that a couple of Buddies were inside of. The demo plopped us right into a jungle with dirt roads leading to multiple paths. They’ll also assist you in battles and come to your rescue when you need it. These Buddies, as they’re called, will help you out by giving you missions that opens up more of the storyline. In the demo that I played, two prisoners had all ready been rescued and were willing to help you out. Your best bet to finding the Jackal is by going to enemy camps and rescuing prisoners. The Jackal could be anywhere in the Savanna and it’s completely up to you how you want to find him. The Jackal is an arms dealer who is supplying weapons to both sides of an ongoing conflict and it’s your job to take him out. There is only one mission in Far Cry 2: Kill the Jackal.

Hit the jump to hear about the new weapon mechanics, the burnable environments and the new Buddy system. Another thing to note before you read on is that Far Cry 2 is not using the Crysis engine, as the Far Cry series belongs to Ubisoft now. In fact, Far Cry 2 has no relationship with Far Cry 1 at all, in terms of story. This time, instead of islands filled with mercenaries and weird genetic experiments, we’re given 50 square kilometers of open African Savanna to explore.įar Cry 2 brings with it a lot of new changes to the series that’s separating itself from the original game.
