The developers have created huge spaces that are completely open to the player. Far Cry 2 is not divided into levels where you need to go from point A to point B. Having typed tasks, the player is free to go on all four sides. The game space will be about 60 km², the space will be unified and not divided into separately loadable locations. The game will take place in an unnamed part of Africa, in the savanna and jungle. Ubisoft Montreal staff spent about 2 weeks in various parts of Africa taking photos and videos of the local flora and fauna. The resulting photos and videos were used to create incredibly realistic environments in the game.
Tasks in the game can be completed in any order. Some missions are story missions, they are required to complete, but there are also side missions of various types. This is a kind of push for players to explore the world, and curiosity, according to the developers, will be rewarded. Of course, there are certain limits of movement in the game space. The country where the action of the game takes place is surrounded by a huge desert, in which even some of the missions take place. The transition from the savannah to the dunes is quite smooth, but if you go too far into the desert, the game will bring you back so that you do not die of thirst. However, within these boundaries, you can travel in any direction.
For Far Cry 2, Ubisoft has developed a new engine called Dunia, which means "World" or "Earth" in Arabic (as well as Persian, Turkish, Hindi, and a few others). The engine will use the full power of multi-core processors, as well as support DirectX 9 and, of course, DirectX 10. At the same time, the engine turned out to be quite "flexible", as it was developed for different platforms, in terms of optimization, so it was not difficult for developers to optimize it for consoles ( Playstation 3, Xbox 360)
Far Cry 2 includes support for Philips amBX technology. With the right hardware, the technology adds effects such as vibration, light coloring of the surrounding world, and wind effects to the game.
